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?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He's probably outside for the same reason Roxas is outside. He's keeping his patrol route short because it's Christmas Eve, but he's not all surprised when he sees one of the Rikus out.]

Merry Christmas...which one are you?

[For someone who observes, he's shorter and has no black streaks in his hair. Isn't it process of elimination at this point?]

The one who awakened inside a snowman, much to his chagrin. [Not to mention... confused the heck out of everyone just by existing. Sweatdrop.]

[It is, Roxas is also just lazy at the moment. Excuse him.]

In that case, I mean it. Merry Christmas. What are you doing out here anyway? Still not sure where you're going?

[He's excused, but where is he going?]

Merry Christmas. [A faint hint of a smile.] It seemed nice out, despite the cold. Thought I might as well look around a little more.

[Nowhere too fast, at least. He hums a bit, regarding Riku...Jiminy's Journal? Whoever. He's got thoughts on this.]

Up for a bit of company? It's usually not that safe to be wandering around by yourself this late.

[One day he'll come up with a name of his own to make it a little easier. Until then, he only shrugs slightly. He's a big entry and can take care of himself ~~some of the time~~, but it doesn't look like he minds it.]

...Then why were you? [Call it curiosity. Again.]

...I'm used to this place. Are you?

...I'm getting there. [In terms Tron would understand: You Users are complicated. e__e;]

Where have you been staying anyway?

...Here and there, really. [awkwaaaaard.]

...so like. Outside.

...Yes.

I've been fine, though.

I don't doubt that. ["You're a book", he wants to say. But that's pretty rude, and as far as Rikus go, Roxas is pretty okay with this one.]

I'd still consider getting an apartment or something, man. You could get eaten by a giant wolf or something.

[He would be touched if he knew about that, or as touched as a bunch of data from a book could be. Dataku nods faintly at the suggestion, but glances to the side for a moment as if recalling something.]

Being eaten would be the least of my worries, but you have a point.

Well I don't imagine you'd taste very good either way. It's just weird, I guess, knowing that it doesn't really make a difference to you.

It does, but it hadn't crossed my mind until you mentioned it.

I mean I'd invite you to stay at our place, but you can't find it.

...How is that possible? [No offense meant, but you kind of got him curious by saying that...]

Pretty sure it's still got a spell around it. [What are you talking about, this is totally normal.]

...Okay. [He has never heard of this kind of magic, so whaaat?]

Long story short, my best friend was almost murdered at our house, so my other best friend asked one of her friends to put a protective spell around our house so nobody could see it unless one of the secret keepers told people where it is.

I see. [Yeah, that earns some semblance of a frown from him. In their own place of residence...?] It's fine, anyway. I can find somewhere.

[And if not, bop him upside the head later.]

But the real question is...are you going to?

...Are you that worried? [He chuckles.]

I wouldn't really call this worried, would you?
