[There are several things that this avatar is used to. Being surrounded by cold things is certainly not one of them, even if he'd been frozen at some point before and knew it was possible due to Sora if he didn't have the correct charm on at the time. What he also isn't used to is waking up in extreme cold without his coat on or with something on his back brushing against him in an attempt for warmth. At least it seemed warmer to him.

But why is everything black? Did his optics still have bugs in them?

N o p e. Moving and making the snow cocoon break around him makes him realize that whoever decided that this was funny, making a person made of what he is, thought it would be hilarious for him to wake up inside a snowman. It's also just his luck that he trips over a familiar-shaped object before falling backwards into the fountain. Ow... This is just the wake-up he needed right now.

...Wait. This isn't the virtual Hollow Bastion.] Where...?

[That's when he notices the journal nearby, and he blinks at it. It would be far too much of a paradox for a journal to be inside a journal, and this is definitely not-

He tentatively picks it up and skims through it, seeing none of the messages that he'd left for the others to find, but others appearing on the pages as the either spoke or wrote down their thoughts. ...This was peculiar to say the least, but if this was a sort of communication device... Sigh. He begins writing.]

So it was possible...

If anyone actually does see this, would you inform me of where exactly this location is? I'm aware that my world was connected to another, but this is much different than what was previously recorded. Is there a way to return?

[...Heh. Journal using a journal. Maybe after his teeth stop chattering he'll laugh about it. S-s-so c-c-cold... Where is his coat-? Wait...]

...And I'm guessing it's completely normal to wake up with wings. [Oh, the sarcasm. What the glitch?]

...Jiminy Cricket's journal. You manifested from a bunch of papers recording their journey. [Granted strange things have happened in their world, but this just doesn't really even have logic to support it...does it? Data can be formed into just about anything, so why not another Riku?]

I didn't know the King was uploading that journal.

[Just like he thought--most from the outside probably wouldn't believe it. (... Sora, why do you not know any curses?)-it had taken him three world visits to figure out a way to explain the situation. Waking up in the real world--one far away from their own? Yeeeaaah.]

Yeah. ...A message appeared from nowhere on the blank pages. It was the only way they could think of to solve the mystery of that one sentence:

"Their hurting will be mended when you return to end it."

[...wait really? So that means...]

...the journey's not over yet. That's what this means, doesn't it?

... Apparently. The problem is, this group--Malnosso? They brought me here before the answer could be found. I'm afraid that, even if we somehow find a backdoor, I can't help until this question's answered.

So we start working on getting you out of her. Is it dangerous if you're not there to help them?

I shield all of the data from inside the journal within this form. If I'm corrupted somehow, it could destroy the entire datascape from the inside out.

So yes, you could say that.

I don't think you're corrupted per say, but I also don't think you really have to worry about it. The nice part about the Malnosso? They're kind of really considerate about not messing with time while we're here.

[He almost says "was" before the rest of her words appear on the page before him. Processing... |

.... WHAT?!]

How is this even possible-?

Not sure, but it is. It doesn't matter how long you're here, time never moves back home until you return to it.

...This has got to be the second most peculiar thing I have ever heard of all day.

[And when the only ones you've personally spoken to before awakening here are Sora, Donald, Goofy and the King, you know that's saying something.

What's the first?

Data being able to manifest in the real world.

[His brain. Did someone break it?]

Well...surprise.

Is there anything I can do to help? [Because even though he's a Data Riku, he's still a Riku and that means Kairi still feels like she has to do her best to help him out.]
