[Now where's Riku been amidst all this chaos?

He's been... in various locations over the past few weeks. Between heading out to Union Cave to get Demyx's Onix to getting caught up in the fog, things haven't been particularly dull, much less pleasant for Riku, and it shows. Right now, he's close to the Pokémart in Violet City, sitting with one hand pressed against his head. His Haunter can be seen in the background, hovering around with a shiny new Rotom, but Riku doesn't give them a passing glance.

His mind's too wrapped around his nightmare visions. Seeing his best friends abandon him-- replace him. There's a reason he hasn't touched his Gear in a while. However, he doesn't say a word about it.

Instead, he groans, muttering something under his breath...]

Can't get it out of my head now. It's been months...

[Shaking his head, Riku finally looks down at the Pokégear.]

What's it like, past Azalea Town? I only got to see the forest.

I know, just...I still wanted to ask.

[He's quiet for a while, and then...]

Thanks, Ven.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Huh-?

[Ven's a bit surprised there, and then he tries to wave it off]

It's nothing. I mean, after that fog, I've been wanting to check up on everybody.

You really are like Sora.

[Don't worry, he means that in a good way.]

Re: [video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, you act like Terra sometimes. Kinda balances out.

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Well... almost. You're not quite as dense as Sora is.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

H-hey, I'm not dense!

[Not that Riku'll take his pouting face seriously]

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

You sure about that?

[Snerk. Sorry, Ven. You're just too easy to mess with.]

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't I be?

[Knowing how to push Sora's buttons is about as good as having a Ven manual, isn't it? Weakness of derps]

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

You'd be too dense to notice.

[Smiiiirk.]

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[Pout]

Who made you the denseness expert, anyhow?

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

I've known Sora since we were kids.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I'm not Sora.

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

But you're close enough. Besides, it's like I said: you're not as dense as he is.

[There's a pause, and then he snorts]

You're weird sometimes, Riku.
