21st Dawn

[halfdarkened]

[Cambot has been searching around the SOL over the last day and a half for Riku, broadcasting on and off, possibly unintentionally. It seems lonely, not too uncommonly videoing the floor. Slowly it wanders into the cafeteria deck idly. It's late evening, and fairly dark. Cambot starts to turn when there's a little "pop" from inside the fridge. The bot enters, a little curious, until the door flies open, leaving light and cold to tumble out... Along with something else.]

[The short-haired figure groans and sits up, half-covered in what looks like someone's leftover Chinese food. Riku looks around, trying to figure out where he was.] Cambot? [Abruptly he checked his clothing, pulling the shoulder of his vest to get a look at the cloth on the back.] So it wasn't a dream... [And then he notes the food all over him and looks back over his shoulder. He reappeared in a familiar area.]

Again? ...Are you kidding me?!

[Cambot bounces up and down in joy!]

Oooooooh.

Riku, you can make giant keys! That's SUPER cool, I've never EVER heard of a key superhero before!

[halfdarkened]

[Aaaaand that introspective moment is crushed.]

No, I can summon a Keyblade. [Laymen's terms, Riku.] It's a magical sword that I can use back home.

[sailorlaughter]

[The nearer Pinkies crowd around to get a better look.] Oh, like those wood ones! Does it unlock anything?

[halfdarkened]

Like them, but this one's the real deal. And yeah. It can lock and unlock chests, doors... [He grows very solemn.] Hearts, likely...

[sailorlaughter]

Why would a heart be locked?

[halfdarkened]

...People who close themselves off from certain things or people may have locked their hearts. But open hearts invite dangerous things in.

[sailorlaughter]

Well, that's silly! How're you ever gonna make friends if your heart's all locked up?

[halfdarkened]

...I don't know, but they can't be corrupted as easily, I bet.
