I need to know the quickest way to Goldenrod.

[So says Riku, who appears a bit tense as the feed starts up. In the background, there's the sound of chatter from a Croconaw and Nidoking, but Riku remains focused on his gear.]

There's something me and Sora need to take care of, so the sooner we get there, the better.

[After that, the feed ends. It's short, sweet, and to the point; he's not in the mood for much idle chatter.]

[Sigh... It's a good thing you're you, Terra, because Riku actually takes a moment to think this over.]

...Alright, you win.

[Good job, bringing Sora into this.]

... I guess you've got a point. Last thing we need is for Sora to get worked up any more than he already is.

[action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Yeah. He's just going to give Sora a look.]

You aren't fooling anyone.

[He looks relieved, rubbing a hand over his face briefly. He probably looks pretty out of it.]

I know you're worried about Sora, I am too. I want to settle this just as much, but Ven, Aqua, and I didn't spend most of our time dealing with him for nothing. I know Ven wants to take care of this too.

I asked you to stay with Sora because you know him best. I need you guys to be safe... there's already too much people involved in this.

[okay, okay, Riku's got him. he'll go the honesty route, then.]

I'm not sure if I'd be able to fall asleep.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

He's already done a good job of messing with everyone's heads.

[...Not smart, filtering this from only Vanitas]

You guys stay out of this.

Don't.

You're doing what he wants. Don't be stupid.

[Naminé lives to guilt trip people.]

You need to be more cautious. Don't go alone.

Then at least get some rest.

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Well, it won't work with me.

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Then what should we do? Head back? Keep going?

[Siiigh. He sounds a bit agitated, but it's not Terra's fault.]

video

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

I'm just tired of waiting around.

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Believe me, I already got the memo.

[Hffff.]

I wasn't about to sit around while Sora ran off on his own.

[newhero.livejournal.com]

[down on his back he fwumps, then, heaving a sigh.]

Hey, Riku?

[action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Yeah?

[Riku's taking a seat as well, and his Pokémon are scurrying over to him.]

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Did I overreact?

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Hope that means you guys aren't gonna run after him.

Rather not say why on here, but he's still a threat even without powers.

[action]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Hard to say. If I were in your position, I probably would've done the same.

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. We're waiting for you guys before we do anything.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

[Well that's a relief, he pretty visibly relaxes because well. The last time he and Riku disagreed's had him hesitant to do it again.

But Riku and Sora getting hurt would've been awful]

That's good.

[airwinged.livejournal.com]

So you're going to help him?

You should keep him at Violet till we get back.

[action]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

... I just want answers. If I knew why, then it'd be okay. I feel like I'd be able to help better.

[landbreaker.livejournal.com]

We stay where we are. If his targets are the Queen, Sora, and Ven, then we'll keep them safe together.

This is only the beginning. We'll let him come to us.
