[Everything's back to normal now. No weird age changes, he's not stuck in some girl's body, and he managed to make it through the past two days without finding himself trapped in someone else's body! All in all, an interesting week. But today something odd is going on--today, there are plenty more people than he's seen on this boat before.]

So where are all these new passengers coming from? There's a lot more than usual. And I thought I saw...

[He trails off. He was fairly sure he'd seen someone who looked just like the girl he'd met at the masquerade... but she'd been -different-, too. It was almost like there were -copies- of people here, too.]

Never mind. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the forest.

[That's where Riku's going to be spending most of his day, but it's not the only place you'll find him. Riku's working on that treehouse again, and so he needs tools. He'll be rummaging through the luggage on deck 12 for nails and a hammer and all sorts of fun things, he'll be outside the forest on deck 3 to take a swim, and later on, he'll be in the caverns, not for any real purpose but instead just to think.

You'll find him anywhere, all over the ship today, so feel free to run into him anywhere!]

Yeah, I accepted it all right--but it wasn't enough. Sora's Heart was--is, still stronger than mine. You can probably imagine that I didn't take it so well.

Then I did something stupid--I let him into my Heart. [The anger in his voice is only eclipsed by a combination of self-loathing and guilt.]

I couldn't do anything but watch as he used my body to try and take Kairi's Heart from Sora with a black Keyblade made from the Hearts of the other six Princesses. [He smirks slightly here, though it's not the nicest-looking one.]

I was actually glad he won that fight, but watching him pick that stupid Keyblade up and stick it in his chest to let Kairi's Heart out... I wished a lot of things on Sora then, but becoming a Heartless wasn't one of them. [He turns his attention back to 'Ansem', and the smirk leaves his face entirely. He's still addressing his younger self when he speaks up again.]

You'll only regret giving up everything for the Darkness--it didn't save Kairi in the end, only put her in more danger. [And the subtext? 'And I was too blind to see it.']

[Riku listens to the two stories in silence, his expression carefully blank, at first. He's already gained the power to control the Heartless--he still had doubt? ...yeah, it's true, he supposes. No matter what, he's still wary of Maleficent, still doesn't trust her wholeheartedly. Especially what he's learned from Kairi about the princesses--it all stinks of the idea that she might be trying to lead him to ruin, instead of helping him.

And what of the older him? Does he believe in him? As Riku's telling his tale, the younger boy scowls, but the expression is quickly gone. Sora took a Keyblade and stuck himself with it? Even angry as he is at the other boy, Riku agrees with his older counterpart--he -doesn't- wish becoming a Heartless on Sora. Not now.

But the hidden meaning in Riku's last words make him frown, his expression setting.]

If you're me, you should know I won't put Kairi in danger.

[There's a small smirk beginning to come to his face. It's weird, but he feels like he can trust the guy, even in spite of how differently he's acting. He doesn't know whether the older him will pick it up--he -should-, Riku thinks--but he'll put Kairi above anything. Maybe even his grudge against Sora.

If working with Maleficent will put Kairi in danger... maybe, now that he's found her, he can take her away from the witch.]
