✎ 1st Entry - Text & Anonymous (forward dated to April, 13th)

[dataprotector]

A gray city, by itself almost void of color and life.

A group of gods that calls people from other worlds to restore it, regardless of time, space or fate.

This place is indeed an anomaly, a paradox that should not possibly exist like this - and yet we can't deny that it does.

Still, I cannot help but wonder about the wisdom of bringing me into a world that someone like me should not enter. What purpose could I serve to the grand scheme when I can no longer fulfill the tasks that were entrusted to me?

But regardless of the wishes of higher beings, of questionable motivations or possible consequences, of paradoxes and things that were not meant, the most important question still remains: What can be done to mend this world's pain?

[Well, then. That earns his datacopy a little smile, grateful at his considerations. He's definitely different from the replica, who Riku would have guessed would have just barged in guns blazing. To have someone being careful, albeit sneaky, is certainly appreciated.]

You thought right. I do appreciate it. Thanks. [Although seeing how it put some of the others on edge, he doesn't quite appreciate the effect it has, but that's out of the Journal's control and Riku's well aware of that.]

Fair enough. Waiting for the right time seems to be a bit of a theme here. [With Roxas. With Data Roxas. It almost makes him a little tired of trying to keep things straight forward and on top of things.

He swallows. This might be a bit of a gamble to ask but, he needs to know.] ...Would you rather we meet in person then?

[Despite the discomfort and suspicions it might have caused, this approach seemed the most promising in regards of the outcome and considering that he and the Original are now on speaking terms the Journal considers himself somewhat validated in that assessment.

He hesitates, maybe just a second at Riku's question, while he had certainly planned to propose this... he hadn't quite expected that Riku to beat him to the punch. So far, everything is going far better than he had feared it might and... that's a nice surprise, really.]

Yes. ...I'd like that.

[Another simple nod. So far, so good on all accounts. Of course, things might be different when they do meet. It could be so kind of trap, so Riku will most likely take his Keyblade with him, just in case.]

Good. What house did they place you in?

[Another moment of hesitation.]

...Heimdall. Room ###.

[...Whhhhhhyyy? It could mean nothing at all, but Riku just feels it hits too close to home for him here. It's better than being in Hel where he probably belongs, but... knowing what Heimdall meant, what did this version of him go through?]

I can meet you there then.

[Well...]

Thank you. I'll be waiting.
