[ Hey there, kids. Somebody's decided to take the time to test this network thing out, so here he is, coming to you live from the nineteenth floor.

He gestures at the camera. ]

So, dudes and dudettes- a question: What's the worst thing that's happened since you've been here?

[ He tilts his head at the screen, a wry look on his face. ]

Color me curious.

Hard to beat getting tossed into a labyrinth where everyone's forced to kill each other.

[It's said with the most deadpan expression.]

[madannoshashu]

I dunno...multiple surgeries might just have it beat.

What d'you think?

[keybearer]

Hey, I'd take surgeries over watching friends die.

[Or his best friend, in this case.]

[madannoshashu]

You sure about that?

[keybearer]

Positive. Physical pain can be pretty traumatizing, but I'd rather suffer than let my friends go through with it.

[madannoshashu]

As long as you're sure, keykid.

There's something to be said for a little bit of certainty.

[keybearer]

Keykid? How did you--

[...Gah, whoever this guy is, he sure is a weirdo.]

Man, does it sound like I'm hesitating?

[madannoshashu]

Lucky guess!

[ You have no idea, Riku. ]

People can say a whole lotta thinks, kiddo. It's when they're put to the test that things matter.

[keybearer]

Well, knowing how sick this place is, it could happen any time.

[madannoshashu]

Exactly.

[Hey double, guess who watched this whole exchange from a different terminal and has made his way here to do some... okay maybe not damage control yet... but definitely to warn the other to be careful.]

You should watch out just what you tell this guy.

[Action]

[keybearer]

[Whoa there, double! Pardon him if he jerks forward a little; he wasn't expecting the sudden company, but he'll go ahead and turn around.]

Why, is he bad news?

[Action]

[justabignobody]

[...You'd think he'd be a bit more aware of his surroundings after all those months here. Constant vigilance, double!]

As bad as they get. [He keeps his voice low, eyes flickering over to the computer - just to make sure that it isn't recording paranoid? Him? Noooo where would you get that idea?]

His name is Xigbar. Numeral number two of the Organization XIII.

[Action]

[keybearer]

... Ah, that explains it.

[With all the doubles and alternate dimensions, he couldn't have been 100% sure before, but now that his double's put it that way...

Riku narrows his eyes and sighs.]

Anything else I ought to know about him?

[Action]

[justabignobody]

[Of course. Riku frowns slightly to himself... admittedly there isn't much he can say about this particular Nobody... he'd never been able to get close whenever he had joined Roxas in a mission and Riku had happened to stalk follow, but... it's enough to have a bad feeling.]

I don't know a lot about him, but... stay on your toes around him. [It never hurts to be careful. Especially around that kind of shady guy.]
