[001// Audio] REUSING 1ST PERSON SAMPLES GO!

[oathbreakers]

[The communicator clicks on—the sound of rustling. After a moment, there is the distinct click of something being set down.]

So. After a bit of exploration, I think I’ve managed to figure this thing out.

[The voice is young and smug—Riku is very pleased with himself.]

We’re on a ship, right? You can tell by the windows.

Now, just need to figure out why I’m here and not in Hollow Bastion any more. If this is Maleficent’s idea of a joke…

Anybody out there?

[Pause.]

Better yet—anybody out there heard of a girl named Kairi? I’m… looking for her.

[No, he’s not mentioning Sora. Not at all.]

We're on a ship, headed for the Golden Shore, right? Someone called Mimmi told me earlier. ...Do you know what the deal with the Golden Shore is?

[He couldn't care less about the ship for the time being. He's more interested in finding Kairi, if she's really here.]

You've seen Kairi? Where was she?

[missgenresavvy.livejournal.com]

Yep! Geeze, you took that in way faster than I did. I thought people were messing with me. To be honest, I still don't know what the Golden Shore is. Just that the place is pretty freaking far away. People have been on this ship for like two years.

And about Kairi- you proooobably won't find a lot of people in a hurry to tell you about where she is. Sorry. Things have quieted down since, but some jerks had it in for her recently.

How do you know her?

[oathbreakers]

Yeah, well, it's not exactly uncommon by this point. [Especially not when you're world-hopping yourself. Ending up somewhere new and unusual? Eh.] Two years, though? Sorry, but I don't know I wanna stay that long.

What happened to Kairi? [Now you've got his attention, Zoey.] Is she okay?

And she and I came from the same world. We left... at the same time.

[missgenresavvy.livejournal.com]

Uncommon? Man, I'd sure like to see the world the way you see it. And no, I don't wanna stay here this long either. But it helps when you've got people you know with you, at least.

Dude. Relax. She's fine. I don't actually know her that well, but there were a bunch of people willing to stick their neck out for her and keep an eye on her when everything went down. She seems like a good kid.

[oathbreakers]

You get used to it. [Oh, Riku. You're so smug--being the knowledgeable one is such a safe place for you.] After you've seen a few different worlds, you start getting used to the unusual.

And that's... good. I'm glad nothing happened to her.
