[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.

I could back home. I mean, back home, I'd lost that power -- but here I can use it again. So I think as long as I don't return home and lose both the powers I got from the Porter and my memories, I should be able to, yeah.

[iamtetsuo]

...okay. Sounds like you and me need to do some more experimenting.

[resipiscent]

Sounds like it, huh? Wonder if we could get through it, with some firepower. It won't be easy, certainly, but...

[iamtetsuo]

I'm firepower. Bring it on! If we can break through that stupid stuff it'll be worth it!

[resipiscent]

[That sounds like a line Tetsuo's been saving up for ages, but Riku just grins. Rehearsed line or not, it is true.]

Guess you are, huh? Okay. We'll try and figure it out, then, sometime soon.

[iamtetsuo]

Lemme know whenever.

[resipiscent]

Will do. Let me know if you ever get bored, then.
