[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.]

You're getting a real kick out of this, aren't you?

[It's okay. He probably would be too, were the positions reversed.]

Hey, I take what I can get. Naturally, I wouldn't wish the kind of stuff I'm getting on anyone, but... Well, welcome to the club.

[ He's actually a very concerned guy, he's just easily amused. ]

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I'll take you up on that.

So what kind of things are you winding up with?

Horrible memories, super strength and healing... oh and the skin thing, a little.

That, and my eyes glow in the dark now. I've been in this for a while.

Glowing eyes, huh?

[He glances back at the Heartless.]

I'm guessing no relation to this.

What do you mean, the skin thing"?

Remember what I said about your skin peeling off? Well, not yours, obviously. Mine.

But yeah, no. My eyes glow a little differently from that. I'm also not all dark-looking.

Oh, right. I remember you mentioned that before.

How'd it happen? An echo, obviously, but all at once? Or was it more gradual?

It was gradual. Over a couple of months and weeks, I'd say.

But yeah, it's an echo from past-me. I wasn't exactly human, back then.

Probably better that way, I'd imagine.

What were you?

Something called a Titan. But not the Greek myth kind.

What were they?

Giant, building-sized monsters that ate people, for the most part.

[...well okay then.]

Was there a reason behind the eating people?

[He would hope so...]

I dunno. Don't remember, really.

I mean, I don't think I was one of the people-eating ones, those tended to be more like brainless monsters than anything.

Makes sense. Although given my new friend here, I wouldn't have been entirely surprised if those sorts had been brought back too.

God, I hope not. The monsters from back home were anything from 3 meters tall to like 15. I don't know if Locke could handle something like that...
