02 [Written/Action]

Christmas... It seems to be a rather special holiday for many of you, much like it is for those in worlds connected to my own.

Merry Christmas, everyone. [...That's what you're supposed to say, right?]



[A while later, ff you're out wandering the village Christmas Eve, you may just notice a familiar figure, however younger they might seem to those who know either of the other two 'Rikus'. Just walking around, covered in layers and still holding onto the journal he arrived with. Though, it is getting rather late... Why is he still outside on tonight of all nights?]

What's that supposed to mean?

It's more like 'recruited their help' than simply met. Even with modified data, I had to make sure Sora would have some friends by his side.

Are you trying to not make sense?!

[ BECAUSE YOU'RE REALLY NOT MAKING SENSE. sob. ]

[He shakes his head.] It's a long, confusing story.

[IT'S ALL COMPLICATED AND HE HASN'T CREATED "DATASCAPE FOR DUMMIES" YET. HE IS SORT-OF SORRY, FACE TWIN. troll]

Then why would you bring it up?! You're...! [ ah fuck this ] Why do you look like us?! [ He probably should've said "Riku" instead there but he's too mad to care right now. ]

You're the one who asked what I meant. [Duh. And, as for that inquiry...] Because this is the form the journal chose to protect itself.

[Brain meltdown in 3, 2, 1...|]

...

[ You are just. getting a stare.

Where does he even begin with that. I mean seriously, what. ]

...Someone found a message in the journal. Mickey thought it was a good idea to import all the hidden data into a computer. I came into being as the avatar of that data.

[Called it. Why does his mere existence break so many brains?]

[action]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Because there's the amount of sense most of KH doesn't make. And then there's Re:coded. ]

So you're... not real?

[action]

[encryptedpages]

[That's assuming that anything in their worlds make sense at all, you crazy 4th Wall tapper.]

Real as any memory record can be.

[action]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

Yeah? And how real's that?

[action]

[encryptedpages]

[He glances away for a brief moment, sensing that mistrust.]

Ordinarily I should only be able to exist within a computer's datascape. So out here in the real world? Not real at all. [Yet he's... accepting of that, if not confused as to how it's even possible at this rate.]

[action]

[personafalsify]

... Then you're also just a fake.

[action]

[encryptedpages]

[He nods curtly.] So long as I can help unravel the mysteries surrounding this village and our own universe, I could care less what others consider me.

[action]

[personafalsify]

You're just... okay with that?!

[action]

[encryptedpages]

Hm... Yes and no. There are times I'd rather beat them over the head, but...

[He smirks.] Why the curiosity?

[action]

[personafalsify]

... None of your business.

[action]

[He wants to say "didn't you make it mine by asking?" but he instead holds his tongue.]

Fair enough. [...because he wouldn't want to spill all his secrets to someone else, either. Yes, even those who share the same face.]

[action]

[personafalsify]

... So what are you gonna do here?

[action]

[encryptedpages]

Find my own path. [He supposes, because he certainly cannot perform his true purpose here.]

[action]

[personafalsify]

... Hmph. Easier said than done. [ But he says it mostly to himself. ]

[action]

[encryptedpages]

Nothing ever is. [He begins to walk away.]
