[Well! Riku sounds rather flustered for once!]

Just whose great idea was this?

Oh, what, you can't deal with the truth for a change? Can't deal with someone who won't lie to make you feel like a better person?

Stop it!

Or what? Are you gonna--

[The rest of that threat doesn't make it to the network--Riku's muted the comm. He turns it back on a moment later, sounding both irritated and resigned.]

Is anybody else noticing something strange going on?

[Well, that's -one- way to put it.]

[So the past couple days have been rough on Riku. He'd been hit by the same thing that had hit everybody else--but he didn't think that the age difference was supposed to -entirely change- one's body. The normal sort of aging, yeah, but you'd still be able to recognize the person... he'd been an entirely different person--and he had no idea why. He'd felt... he'd felt -ashamed- as well, for no reason that he could think of, like he had to do something to redeem himself (but in whose eyes...?) and so Riku spent most of the past two days skulking around looking a little like this, though he kept his hood -up-.

At first he'd been thrilled to find that he was no longer in that strange, unfamiliar body. But very quickly Riku realized that oh, hey, -this- body isn't quite a familiar one, either.

There seems to be a distinct lack in what -should- be there, and several things that should -not- be there... -are-.

But Riku's not so uncertain as he might have been at first; in fact, his good-natured sense of snark is coming back. So when he speaks over the comm, he sounds as though he might be about to laugh--come on, this may be weird, but it's certainly something new.]

Well, what do you know? I guess all sorts of things happen on this ship, don't they?

[Riku may be a girl, but she's not going to let something silly like that stop her! You'll find her first in the Bazaar, looking for something to wear that fits a little bit better than her normal clothes. Then it's off on a quest for something to eat; all that skulking over the past two days and avoiding people? Means that there's been little food to be found. From there, who knows where she'll be found? Anywhere and everywhere--she hasn't been around much for the past couple weeks, so now it's time for her to see what's new or the same as always!]

[By this point, Riku's figured out that he's being somehow compelled to tell the truth.

And that is not cool.

Riku's a kid that has to be in control at all times. And not being in control of what he's saying? -Bothers him.- He doesn't like it; he doesn't know what people are going to ask. He's got an image to maintain! He doesn't want to risk people cracking that.

So Riku is hurrying up to grab something for breakfast before disappearing for the day--he's not going to let this trip up his plans, but he's not planning on talking to anyone until he knows that this affliction has gone away.

Oh, how the universe loves irony.]
