15th Dawn

[halfdarkened]

[Cambot focuses on foliage, notably a fern as piano music begins to play. Sitting upon it is a small bird. It's just a little house sparrow, cocking its head with a single, sharp little motion before flitting away. Cambot is obviously in the nature deck, and it focuses past the fern to show Riku sitting in the grass, watching the birds along the water bathe. His arm is propped on his knee. There's an odd, small scar on the side of it, like a pit, that wasn't there a couple days ago. It doesn't seem to bother him in the slightest. For that matter, he doesn't move stiffly like he had just a couple days ago. Clearly his side isn't hurting him at all. When he hears Cambot (or rather, notices the peaceful music) he looks over and stops fiddling with something in his hand a moment. He smiles just as the music becomes more dramatic.]

So I tried out the time machine. I wanted to scout some things out before making plans. [He holds something up between his fingers. It's a white tooth, the edge sparkling with fine serrations. The broken tooth looks about the same size as that scar...] Thanks again, Amaterasu. For saving my hide back there. [There's a little smirk and a hesitation before he continues.]

I want to go back, but not by myself this time. Anyone up for a dinosaur safari?

Might be fun...

[halfdarkened]

It will be.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Well, if no one else wants to, I'll tag along.

[halfdarkened]

Sure.

This is going to sound like a weird question, but did you have any special abilities before you came here?

[optimistickey]

Woah, seriously? I want to see some dinosaurs!

[halfdarkened]

I thought you'd say that.

[optimistickey]

Of course I would! It's dinosaurs!

[thirteenth_brat]

Dinosaurs. Okay then.

... You seem to be feeling better. Is there something you're not telling?

[halfdarkened]

Yeah. Even better. I got my Keyblade back.

[thirteenth_brat]

Hmm. Sounds fun, but I think I might pick a more civilized era to visit.

Why did you pick a time period with dinosaurs anyway?

[shortpants_knight]

Call me curious.

[halfdarkened]

Know much about dinosaurs?

[shortpants_knight]

Nothing. But if that tooth came from where I think it did, then it's probably safe to assume they can be dangerous.

[sylvan_child]

[Saria looks at Riku with concern when she sees the scar, and even a little startled as he holds up that tooth. Where did that even come from?!]

Where did that come from?

[halfdarkened]

Some sort of big raptor. I brought the tooth back by accident, but I think it'd make a good necklace.

[sylvan_child]

[She doesn't know what a raptor is, but she definitely looks more concerned when it's confirmed that that's a tooth.]

Did it hurt you?

[acceptedburden]

[Kaldur considers it]

It would be nice to get off the SoL for a bit.

[halfdarkened]

[He smirks.]

So before you came here, did you have any powers?

[acceptedburden]

I could manipulate and channel water and also generate electricity.

Why? Does time travel somehow restore those abilities or perhaps it is just being away from the SOL...I recall Wally speculating as much.

[dadandgone]

Pass.

I don't feel like being eaten.

[halfdarkened]

Okay, Maes, we'll try to bring you back a souvenir.

[dadandgone]

Take pictures for the scrap book.

[Did he mention he's been making one? It's really more of just a fancy photo album but still, totally making one.]

[beforethemoon]

Dinosaur. Safari.

[halfdarkened]

You got a better phrase for it?

[beforethemoon]

How about "insane"
