[Wow, that sure is a pretty normal-looking living room you're seeing, secret numbers club. Light-colored walls, a piano where the light from the windows can fall on it, a couple books stacked on the coffee table... pretty stereotypical and boring. Wow-ee. The view stays here for about a minute, then the camera jerks, like the holder suddenly jumped back quickly.
A heartbeat more, and a humanoid-shaped Heartless is rising up into view. It remains in view for several seconds, then abruptly turns and walks away. It keeps walking even once it's reached the wall, even though it isn't getting anywhere, but finally seems to get the idea, melting back into a dark shadow on the floor that moves around of its own accord.
When Dante speaks, his voice is very, very deadpan. (Although to perceptive listeners, a very faint undertone of surprise might be heard.)]
For what it's worth, I believe you guys now.
[ooc: As an aside, this incarnation of Riku sounds nearly identical to his predecessor! So if your character ever spoke with Riku, it's definitely a real possibility to mistake the two. Feel free to run with it if you'd like.]

[He's just gonna. Sit and digest this for a moment. Then...]
It's Axel, right?
voice; private
[He doesn't remember telling this guy, though.]
Got it memorized, huh?
[... He still has to ask, though.]
voice; private
[More like he saw him say it to someone else. But there was something really familiar about it...]
I think... I might have known you. Before.
Does the name "Riku" ring any bells?
voice; private 1/2
[A pause.]
Give me a sec.
voice; private 2/2
Yeah. I knew you.
voice; private oh how wrong can dante get
[Hm. How does he phrase this without seeming like a total creeper?]
We worked together, I think. Once.
[He thinks. He doesn't know for sure. But it makes sense, right? He remembers a feeling of desperation--he remembers the feeling of surprise and bemusement and relief at Axel's appearance. Why else would he have felt that way?]
voice; LMAO SRSLY
[Of course, Axel's getting this information from a journal he Echoed back, in which the name "Riku" has now appeared. He's not sure what to make of the hyphens after several of the appearances ... but he's just gonna go with it. And not mention the whole "tool" thing, or how he apparently used this "Riku-".]
