[What am I supposed to do now?
He doesn't know when his perpetual black faded into sleep, nor when he fell back on his bed--or when he got soaked for that matter. What he did know was that when he awakened... he was soaked, and could smell saltwater. Not to mention he was on the ground somewhere.] What...?
[Riku opens his eyes beneath the blindfold, regretting it a moment when the salt water began to make them sting. What he can subtly make out behind the cloth was that he was in a city of sorts, a few Hearts and shadow figures-meaning whole individuals-passing by... and was that a coral split into two? He shook his head, getting to his feet. Maybe it was time to get some answers, as well as dry off.
His hand immediately finds the SFC and after studying it along with drying off/out his blindfold and himself to the best of his ability if the towel over his head is anything to go by... he decides to make his presence known. The feed clicks.]
...Vatheon, huh. I don't suppose anyone would have any ideas as to why we are in the first place?
[Of course, the local who gave him a towel and a hair dryer for his blindfold had said nothing about why he was here. Rather, they changed the subject rather quickly. It irritated him, yes, but maybe someone else had the answers he desired.
Anyone wandering the plaza could quite well find him donning the black coat synonymous with the Organization and eyes hidden by a black blindfold to match, leaning against the wall of one of the many stores, examining the SFC and its functions as he gained his bearings.]

[Video]
He frowns at that, facing away from the SFC. Um, a bit late on that since he sees a figure in all white coming his way. It takes a moment, but the feed flickers off before coming back on. He had to portal off.]
Tzusuki... you were a bit late on that. [A pause.] ...What did he mean by 'continue where we left off'?
[Video]
Tsuzuki was ready with papers in hand as he headed out towards the coral.
And then Riku was back!
...And the good Doctor had apparently visited him. Uh oh.]
He didn't do anything to you, did he? [Worried shinigami was worried. He knew he could trust the older Riku. This one clad in darkness with a blindfold? And remembering what Riku has said before?]
You won't like it. Can I trust you not to go after him?
[Video → Action?]
He can sense that worry, and shakes his head.] He didn't do a think except greet me. Though, that scent...
... I won't.
[Forever and ever I LOVE YOU~~~] I mean wut
at times!]I'll be there in a few moments.
[If moments equated to minutes, then a few minutes it did take. He hadn't wanted to run and risk ruining the cake. He jogged the remainder of the way. The blindfolded bloodhound likely could smell the scent of death on Tsuzuki. The usual smile was present.]
Did you wait long?
((Derp. It didn't tell me there was a response ;~~~~;))
pffft. Nice one, Pan. XD
He doesn't mind the wait. In fact, he's pretty much dry by the time Tsuzuki arrives,and he shakes his head. Though that scent... Man, this was weird.]
Not really.
((Darn you, notifs! o9))
\o/ 1/2
[He didn't sense the Doctor close. Almost tempted to send out some of his birds just to scout around, but he'll conserve his energy.
Riku was patient but Tsuzuki didn't want to test just how patient.]
I guess I should get on with it. [He scratched the back of his head before he settled on serious mode.]
2/2 I hope this makes sense. PFfft.
[Pause] Muraki had tried to repeat a curse to see if it would work here, but on your friends. He showed up during our investigation...
I can show you where it is, but there is quite a bit of darkness saturated there. You over did it last time, and assuming the time before.
It did. xD
His head tilts up slightly at the mention of Xion--was she missing memories of this place as well? But he'll wait to ask of that later. Right now, he's curious as well. Repeating a curse... So then these friends were vulnerable, if they were still here.
The location... Since his senses were sharper than ever, he nods faintly. If he arrived on the scene of the battle, he could probably make out what all happened then and better protect not just himself, but others as well.]
If you're right, I'll see it. [A faint smirk as he uncrosses his arms.] Lead the way.
AWESOME \o/ I rock...for the moment
A solemn nod as he nodded towards East.] This way.
[He really hadn't wanted to bring him there, but at the same time it would be the only way for Riku to believe and know what happened. So with a heavy heart, the shinigami led the boy to
doomthe forest.]I think you lost an inch.
Yes. For the moment. \o/
Riku followed silently until that comment, then chuckled.] I get the feeling I was older when I was last here.
AND WATCH ME FALL ON MY FAYSE
Was Terra back at home? Did you see him? [Only knows they are from the same world/universe.]
MORE LIKE INTO AN ORCHARD OF MINES XD
That question though makes his pause. Terra...? That name felt familiar, somehow. He frowns, shaking his head as he continued to follow.]
No. He wasn't.
[If only he knew what had happened to Terra--the man who had passed him the power. He would have said that 'he's right here...in a sense.' But he doesn't, thus he is confused when a less malevolent part of the shadow within him stirs at the mention.
Too bad there's no one to ask about this.]
*HOP. HOP. HOP*
herogardening bro!]How did you two meet anyways? [He was just going to babble and not think about potential spoilers. It was something to talk about other than that night.]
*ROARS WITH LAUGHTER WHEN IT'S ON A BOMB~*
... I can't remember exactly. I was a little kid at the time.
[Which wasn't a complete lie, he just didn't know if one, Terra was the brown haired man he once met on the play island and two, if it was alright to get any more specific than that.
...So what if it was still a tiny, childish wish that kept him from telling how exactly they met.]
OH SHI- *SENT FLYing~~~*
Oh. I guess that would explain the teacher relationship you guys have...[He started to count off with his fingers.] Just how old is Terra, then? He looked younger than me. [Ah! Maybe it was a senpai/kouhai relationship! That would explain a lot.
And they arrived to the large patch of green the bubble had. He paused a moment, thinking about the directions for a moment. Then he set off again. Thankfully it was something vivid in his memory, otherwise they might need Riku to sniff it out.]
*Waves~~~*
Yeah... [He shrugs faintly, then tries to think back on it.] I'd say somewhere around seventeen to nineteen when I first met him.
[...Tsupuppy, you do not know just how right you are on that one. It's why he keeps so tight-lipped on certain aspects: their world is full of secrets. -- Riku tilts his head slightly, but continues to follow. ...He hadn't been kidding. They weren't even there yet and he could sense how unnatural the forest felt.]
*Bing~*
Blink. Scratches the back of his head.] R-Really? He looked about that age when he arrived. [Oh Vatheon and it's time jumble stuff.] It has been known to happen here. I never thought about it before.
\o/
Huh... Then he must have gotten pulled here from around that time. [He's a bit wary as they get closer. The darkness is far too familiar.]
*Rezz'd* Time to do it again?
[At the range? Even Tsu can feel whatever energy was left in the ground. He wondered, with a sense of melancholy, if that part of the forest would ever recover. Just a bit more...and there they were.]
Why not?
[Only time would tell; maybe reabsorbing some of it would help, but that in itself was dangerous.]
