001 - [Video]

[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?

[Bugs in the memories and the journal found by Mickey and the others. He had to guess that they were the same bugs, the same anomalies that the Journal was talking about before. The things that had to be fixed.

Of course the Kind would be concerned by all of that. But at hearing that Mickey had been in distress, and almost trapped there, Riku looks tense taking it in. Computer jargon fail or not, he knows Mickey is more than capable of handling himself, but he can't help but worry about his mousebro.]

Did they get out okay?

Yeah, they're fine! We... just said goodbye, actually.

[And he... actually sounds a little bittersweet about that.]

[Good bye from the datascape and whatever world that was to safe at home then. There's a sigh of relief he can't help but exhale. A bittersweet moment for him, but if the King didn't come back.]

Don't look so glum about it. You might see them again.

[He's not glum! He'd accepted what was going to happen, but it had still been sad to think their journey was over.

At Riku's words though, he looks up, hopefully.]

Really? Are they here?

[He thinks about that. Goofy's here now, but seems to be further behind him and Sora in the timeline. And he's not sure where these doubles fit into everything since Dataku doesn't know about the Nobodies.

Better to be safe than sorry and spare Goofy even more confusion.]

...No. They're not, but you never know. They might show up one day.

Oh...

[Slightly crestfallen.]

I sure hope so... It'd be great to see them again.

[Since as long as he's here, he'll still remember them, by the sounds of things. He knows he'll forget them, once he goes back to the datascape.]

[GAH! Why does that face always do it in for him. He smiles. It's so awkward that its a younger version of his bff, but it's still Sora.]

You might get your wish, shortstuff. Don't worry too much.

H-hey!

[Just because you're even taller than the Riku from the datascape-!]

I'm not that short!

[darkbreak]

You're right.

You're miniscule.

[Riku]

Am not! You're just too tall!

[No he's not pouting. That's just your imagination.]

[darkbreak]

Nope.

I'm starting to think that it's destiny for any Sora to be short.
