[Riku's face, when he appears on the network today, is a little exasperated, and a little apologetic. Behind him, something tiny and black moves, and he picks his hair up and away from it, pulling it over his shoulder for lack of anything else to do with it. A sharp-eyed observer will note that the black thing is a wing. It's small, but it's clearly a pointy, leathery bat wing. Presumably, there's a matching one.]

So... I guess I was ported out.

[His very first port-out after a year and a half. What a strange experience. Riku pauses. He's pretty sure he... owes some people an apology.]

Uh -- sorry. From what I can tell it hasn't been very long, though...? A day or so tops, I think. I saw Kagami made a post, so I thought I should clear things up.

[He's surprised you all panicked, honestly...]

I guess I should thank you all for worrying, though.

Would you be all right with being stuck here? I have a theory that the people who built it don't have any control over it anymore. I think they built it and opened a sort of interdimensional Pandora's box. And -- yeah. The Kingdom Key isn't made for fighting flesh-and-blood enemies, so it doesn't need to be sharp.

[Riku feels like he's heard the 'looks pretty blunt' line about thirty times.]

So long as Yuu-chan was here too - absolutely. I have no desire whatsoever to return to my version of Earth and no reason to go back so long as Yuu is here. [Yuu is... bascially Mika's sole reason for living.] Though perhaps I'm the minority who prefers this world to their own.

What is it made for fighting? [Mika fights demons with his sword mostly.]

It's not you. There are a lot of people who would rather stay, I think. They don't all get that choice, but it's certainly a valid wish. This world isn't perfect by any means, but if your old world is completely horrible, then I would say it makes sense to want to stay.

[And he's guessing... Mika and Yuu's world is a complete shithole, based on the little information he has.]

They're -- monsters. They're made of darkness, rather than being anything approaching normal creatures. That thing can destroy them permanently, where anything else will just banish them temporarily and then reappear elswhere.

I didn't think I'd be the only one but surely not everyone's world can be as terrible as mine to give them reason to stay. There are just probably more that want to go home.

[There is not much left to their world. Sure both sides have rebuilt but with the war, there might not be anything standing when they're done. Honestly, Mika isn't sure their world is worth fighting over or attempting to save.]

Sounds annoying. How does someone go about getting a Keyblade to fight these darkness creatures?

It has to be passed to you, but the Keyblade itself has to accept you as its wielder before you can actually call it. I think it has to do with accepting yourself, first.
