001 - [Video]

[abovetheprogram]

[The person on the video feed might look familiar to some of you out there, though much... younger than you might remember. It might be seen as a curse, but as soon as he starts talking, certain people in the know might realize something else is going on entirely.]

This kinda looks like that thing Mickey and Riku were using...

[At this point, he speaks up a little louder, though he still seems to be talking to himself]

I thought we beat all the bugs, so... why am I in another world?

[Not that he minds necessarily, he's just... very confused. Did they miss something? At last, he seems to address the feed itself.]

Riku? Mickey? Are you there?

[dataprotector]

[The other guy, huh...

He nods and smiles in return.]

I know you will. I'll be there soon.

[Video - Locked -> Action?]

[abovetheprogram]

Okay! See you there!

[And he will just satisfy his curiosity by poking around the room he arrived in.]

[Video - Locked -> Action!/text]

[dataprotector]

[Aaand it doesn't take much longer until the Journal has made it to Gladsheim Palace, but whelp. Can't get in there so... have a PM.]

Exit towards Heimdall.

[Video - Locked -> Action!]

[abovetheprogram]

Huh? Oh, right!

[And he exits Gladsheim Palace towards the south, around the border of Hel and Heimdall districts - looking around for a familiar figure and sincerely hoping he's going in the right direction. Part of him wants to call out, but Riku said he was trying to stay hidden, so that probably wasn't the greatest idea...]

[Action!]

[dataprotector]

[He moves towards the center of the and waves, face hidden by his coat's hood. Still he should be quite recognizable, right?]

[Action!]

[abovetheprogram]

[Yep, that black coat kind of sticks out. Not to mention black coat waving at him. Sora hurries over. He stops a few steps away, just to be sure.]

Riku?

[Action!]

[dataprotector]

[He nods, reaching up to pull back the hood just enough to show his face , but enough to reveal any of his hair. Or anything else that might give him away in the distance.]

Of course. Or did you expect anyone else?

[Action!]

[abovetheprogram]

I guess not.

[He laughs sheepishly, but grins hugely. Someone is very happy to see his bff]

What's going on? I know we're not in the datascape anymore, and someone said something about wanting us to help make this place have color again...

The bugs didn't get out here, did they?

[He'd thought... well he hadn't really thought about it but it didn't seem to make sense, since they'd stopped his Heartless from escaping.]

[Action!]

[dataprotector]

[The Journal smiles in return; he is certainly equally happy to see Sora, even though he isn't quite as expressive at showing it.

He shakes his head.]

They haven't. What happened to this world is unrelated to the datascape.
