On his reserve to demeleier

[heartfuldreamer]

You know... I think it could be pretty fun.

[ Forever the hopeful and cheerful optimist in any situation. Nothing ever seems to change with him. ]

It's another new world and there could be a lot of things to see there. I wonder what it's like? Riku isn't there yet but he could always show up, I think. Just gotta think on the bright side of it and i'm sure you'll be fine, miss mundane.

What've you got to worry about anyway?

[ That sure is a lot of optimism. ]

You are but another pawn in their games. [ Don't get him wrong... neither is he. Or anyone here, really. ]

He might never come. [ Just being realistic here. ]

[heartfuldreamer]

[ O h. He recognizes the coat. Organization XIII but someone he doesn't think he's run into before. Not that it stops or slows him down anywho. ]

A pawn? Isn't that a little harsh to be thinking that way?

[ See? Forever optimistic. ]

That is true, but I'm not going to give up hope. Riku's found me in worse situations so I know in time he'll find his way here, I know it.

[illusorius]

Ah. Yes, well. Perhaps. [ He pauses. ]

...if the choice was his alone to make.

You will need to wait not only for him, but for a mundane who will accommodate him as well.

[ He knew well from time spent here that one's wishes alone were not enough to get what you wanted done here. ]

Thus, the metaphor is fitting. [ Because like chess pieces, they had all the ability to do what they could; but needed someone else to make the moves for them. And sometimes, much waiting was involved. ]

[heartfuldreamer]

Still. There's gotta be someone out there that'd be right for Riku. A little waiting's not too bad at all, so I don't mind that.

[ Shakes his head and exhales a sigh before putting on a grin. ]

It might be fitting but i've never looked at it that way. Not even once. It takes a team to make things work and this is kind of like that, the way I see it.

What have you got to worry about? I give you three guesses, kid, and the first two don't count.

[heartfuldreamer]

[ W h o a h. Uh... That's new. Guy's a little unnerving, to say the least. ]

Strange people, Fairies and uh... monsters?

[ Only half serious on these answers but give him credit. He's feeling a little cheeky too so it could explain some things. ]

[antiblackcoat]

What have you got to worry about? Try the fae, freezing cold temperatures, me...

[Yup. He's listing things.]

[heartfuldreamer]

[ He really can't put a finger on it but this guy... just... something about him seems like he should know him. Also that skin-prickling feeling that went with his instincts; the way the other spoke too just didn't sit right with him either.]

I think I can handle all of those things.

[ Cue the keyblade being summoned into his hand in a brief flash of light. Not being particularly threatening with it, but hey. He likes making a point. ]

[antiblackcoat]

[That earns a chuckle.]

And that's why I was able to devour your dreams so easily before, right?

[heartfuldreamer]

My dreams...?

[ Wait a second. No he'd never met this one before but... maybe he'd been... the one who worked with the Organization/Xehanort back then. The one who'd kept him in that dream within the World that Never Was.

Needless to say it all clicked in his head. ]

...Y-You--!

The one who kept me trapped in that dream back then... [ Not the most perceptive but he really thinks he gets this, and he doesn't exactly find he likes it. ] it really was you then, wasn't it?

[antiblackcoat]

Bingo.

[And for Sora's prize, he'll reach up and... Lower his hood.]

It was me.

[heartfuldreamer]

...Riku?!

[ Then he has to do a doubletake and stops himself at the red eyes, though the resemblance was certainly alarming in how much he looked like him ]

Wait! Hold on a second! Why do you look like him?!

[antiblackcoat]

Why do Meow Wows look similar despite being Nightmare and Spirit? Same principle.
