[It's around evening that the feed clicks on to show Riku... seated on a rooftop overlooking the ocean because hey, sunset. It's a great view, an even greater backdrop, and there might be some greater reason behind it.
In fact, there most certainly is.]
So, summer. Probably the best time to hit the beach. The sun, the sand, the surf... What's not to like? For all my complaining about the islands, I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss them sometimes.
[He pauses, shaking his head.]
But this isn't about me. It's about Sora. See, his birthday's coming up on the 23rd, so we're gonna be having a party down in Vermilion. A beach party.
[He raises an index finger, grinning.]
But, see, Sora's a sap. He'd make friends with just about anyone, so this party's gonna be open to anyone who wants a good time. Might even make it a potluck-- celebrate the summer with a bang, before the temperatures drop. It is almost August now...
[After a few moments, his grin fades, and he looks toward the ocean with a calmer expression.]
Though I've gotta wonder. What do you think the average age is for guys like us? And for that matter, I wonder how many people have stuck around for more than a year... Seems like there aren't as many kids as adults nowadays. Kinda funny when you think about it.
[The locals start their journeys at age ten, yet so many of them are twenty and up...
He shrugs, waving a hand.]
Anyway, we can set up transportation if you're outta town. Otherwise, I'll catch you later.

[He gives her a dry, deadpan stare.]
C'mon, enough with the age jokes already. There are people way older than me here.
no subject
[Biggest. Smile. Ever.]
no subject
[Or down there, since he is up on a roof at the moment and jumping is... kinda dangerous, not to mention impractical.]
Besides, you can't stay young forever.
Couldn't resist this comment
[She pauses a moment, considering this.]
All of the above.

[He gives a playful roll of the eyes, snickering.]
Don't Legendaries have more important stuff to worry about?
no subject
[Or at least they better, or she'll make them.
Somehow.]
