Ash and dust
Who: Terra and other(s).
What: Terra finally pulls himself together enough to take note of his surroundings.
Where: Starting at Terra's heart station.
Warnings: TBD.
He doesn't notice the change at first; the inside of one heart is much the same as another, in many ways. But slowly, he realizes that this is different: there's no smothering cloud, no one stopping him. There's space, of a sort. Slowly, he begins to piece himself together.
The result is still a little strange by the time he realizes he can speak: his skin has a dull sheen to it, like metal, and his movements are slow and strange. He's in half a suit of armor, give or take, bits and pieces interspersed with his ordinary clothes.
But he has his voice, and he hopes there's someone (someone else) to speak to.
Aqua? ...Ven?
Then, less clearly, as he hesitates, worried about what the answer may be,
Is there anybody there?

Oh Riku you have no clue.
"I've already talked to you. You helped keep me awake once. Because here's the deal. Kingdom Hearts is trying to start the World from scratch because it's so damaged. It lures hearts to sleep so it can take away their memories, wiping them clean. I know from experience. My looks and my name are just what I know from other people's memories. Kingdom Hearts tried to take my identity."
He lightly gestured to Terra. "And it looks like Kingdom Hearts had its way with you... And I'm glad you're still with us."

"I'm sorry." He hadn't - couldn't have - meant to fall asleep when there were people who might need him. "Are you - okay now?"
no subject
"I'm passable." Riku looked at his hand. "I have to concentrate on how I look. It's not as easy as it was beforehand, and... Memories of how I looked in the past aren't as complete as I'd like. I appeared as a kid to hide here once. Can't do that very well anymore." He looked back up. "I'm sure you can relate," gesturing to Terra's skin.

"I'm still sorry that happened to you. I'd ask if I could help, but..." But if he tried to call up memories of Riku, he barely managed to yank his mind away before falling into the abyss of overlapping images and emotions. "...I don't think I can. My memory is - broken."

Maybe if he stopped prodding at them for a bit, they'd sort themselves out. "Sure. Where to?"
Care to wrap up, or should we get Lynx involved if she wants to?
"My home. The Destiny Islands."
(extremely late whoops) Seems like a good place to wrap!
"I'll come see you there." He remembered the feel of that place, even after so long. He would be able to find it.
(No prob!) Okies! Aaaand done!
"See you there." With that, Riku closed his eyes, imagining his home until he could nearly-feel the warm wind rustle his hair.
