When: Aereuer 13th
Where: Looking-Glass House
What: Memory sharing event!
Warnings: Body possession, will update with more as they come up.

[To those new to, or beginning to know Riku, his mirror appears rectangular in shape, its frame a dark silver contrasting with the lighter silver of the glass face. It's worn around the edges but appears well maintained otherwise. Closer acquaintances will be able to see carved figures built into the frame; small carvings of palm trees and Paopu fruit running along the base. One the two sides are two distinct Keyblades. Closer friends will be able to see the Dream Eater sigil carved into the top of the frame.

The teen himself is not often found hanging around his own mirror, leaving it wide open to any curious inspectors as he satisfies his own curiosities with the mirrors of others. But should he spot anyone stepping through his mirror, he's sure to follow them in soon after.]

CRASHES IN so many rikus

[sing_for_me]

[ Alex is disoriented for a moment, unsure of where she had ended up after passing through the mirror. The pillar of shadows that shoots up into the sky makes her jump in surprise, but she recognizes Riku on the other side. And also...

Riku...?

There were some differences, but it seemed even they were having a debate over who was the real one. But why was there another of him? And what were the shadows about? She watches the exchange, and suddenly there was a third Riku, but this one was something like a ghost. A ghost that was appeared to be willing to sacrifice himself for someone else.

Alex is left stunned where she stands, not sure what to make of all this. There was a mannequin on the ground that once was someone who looked like Riku. A replica, they called it? And the ghost like Riku had faded away into light. Leaving...just one.

Seeing him left alone there, Alex wished there was something she could do. ]

Riku..?

[ Could this Riku even hear her? ]

[shadowsthedawn]

[That Riku could not, in fact, hear her. He doesn't seem to notice her presence at all as he walks over to the fallen replica.

But behind her footsteps approach, and the real Riku appears, giving a glance to their surroundings. He'd stepped into his mirror wondering what kind of memory it would make him see, if any. He's surprised to find someone already there.]

Alex? [He reaches out to touch her shoulder, his gaze flickering between her and the other Riku kneeling down to pick up the replica. It's not hard to guess what memory she had seen.]

...That must have been really confusing to see.

[sing_for_me]

[ The touch startles her, but she doesn't pull away when she sees who it is...The Riku she does know. ]

W..what...was all of that..?

[ Seriously, where does she start? ]

[shadowsthedawn]

[It's pretty difficult for him to figure out where to begin.]

There's an organization in my world that my friends and I are - were - fighting. They were able to create copies of people called replicas. The other two Rikus you saw were my replica.

[sing_for_me]

[ Someone so young was standing up to organizations...? One that created clones and beams of shadows? ]

Why were you fighting...?

[ Was there no one else to fight them? ]

[shadowsthedawn]

It's our duty as Keyblade wielders to protect the worlds and fend off the darkness. The Organization wanted to spread darkness.

[It seems simple enough to him. Of course, there's a lot of history he's leaving out.]

[sing_for_me]

That....that seems like such a heavy duty for someone so young..

[ Why the hell were kids dealing with something like that? ]
