[Another day, and Riku's feeling fairly bored. He hasn't had a lot to say over the journals as of late, but hey, it's been a while. And with such an... interesting cycle, he might as well say something.

So, Lucetians, witness Riku as he boredly looks into this magical book and speaks.]So. I think it's pretty obvious that Luceti's got some '

[Man, what a loaded question. Hitting a little close to home, though.]

...It's... pretty weird, seeing animals that can walk and talk. It's not like it's a bad thing, but... I guess I'm still freaked out by it all.

[Voice]

[stilldontgotit]

Nah, I get it. I figure it takes some getting used to.

[Le shrug.]

But you're talking to somebody who's close friends with a talking mouse, so it's second nature to me.

[Voice]

[companyf]

First turtles, now a mouse... there are some strange worlds out there.

[Hard enough to swallow that there are so many others, let alone all this.]

[Voice]

[stilldontgotit]

Oh, that's nothing. I've been inside of a giant whale in space.

[He said this with a totally straight face.]

[Voice]

[mistlegacy]

I don't mind other species or races at all. Why would I? As long as they don't intend any harm, I'm fine with having them here...but that's what I think of humans, too.

...as for knowing the future, I'll pass.

[Voice]

[stilldontgotit]

See, that's pretty much what I think. But then you get people who think humans or some other species are a bunch of hate-filled monsters. If you ask me, it's pretty stupid of them.

[Well, more than 'pretty stupid.'

And he won't push about the future bit.]

[Voice]

[mistlegacy]

Stupid and wasteful. We have better uses of our time than to hate each other based on differences we had no control over. It's not as though we don't have enemies enough, anyway.

[Voice]

[stilldontgotit]

Seriously. Besides, they're hypocrites if they say humans are all hateful. Isn't that just what they're doing?

It won't change a thing around here. Besides, it's like you said, we have enough to worry about.

[Voice]

[repeatsyearly]

[Oh Nagisa definitely knows of someone who hates humans. sob.]

At first I thought it was really strange to have so many different species here... But now I think it's pretty nice and interesting, actually. And the species or race of someone doesn't change who the person is, so... There's no reason to dislike them for that, right?

And your second question, um.. Do you mean if we learned of our future in our world while here...?

[Voice]

[stilldontgotit]

Basically. I've seen enough worlds to know that species isn't what actually counts. I've known gods, sea witches, and other creeps who were knee-deep in darkness.

But on the flip-side, I owe a lot to a talking mouse. He stood up for me when nobody else would.

So, I don't think it matters in the long run.

[KH is all about heart, anyway. Oh, Riku.

He pauses for a moment.]

As for the future, that's what I mean.

[Voice]

[repeatsyearly]

You've sure seen a lot of different people! I've only seen the ones here but... even then, I can tell that it doesn't matter. Those people are all very kind. Like that talking mouse! I'm sure he's very kind as well.

In that case, umm... I'm not very sure. If something bad were to happen in the future, then I probably would like to make sure that it doesn't happen. Especially if it were to hurt others like my family and friends.

[Though in her case, it's really her past that she'd like to change.]

[Voice]

[stilldontgotit]

I think the tough part's dealing with the consequences. Like, if something turns out bad for you, but not for your friends.

That's what happened to me, and two years back, I would've gladly gone back and changed things. Thing is, it would've changed my friends' futures around.

[Ah, Riku. So many complicated questions.]

[soracles]

... It's been a long time since I last saw this place.

[SURPRISE NINJA IN YOUR SIMULATION-- no, actually, Riku probably heard him coming. stealth is not his strong point.]

[stilldontgotit]

[Yeah, he definitely heard Sora and just... laughs. Oh, man.]

I knew you'd like it.

[soracles]

[Sora laughs too, although there's something of a pensive tinge there. bit of a rough start to the weekend, as it were.]

What made you pick Traverse Town?

action

[stilldontgotit]

[He shrugs, looking around the area. Riku definitely picked up on that pensive tinge, but he won't pry right now.]

It's peaceful compared to a lot of the worlds I visited.

[Before things got out of hand.]

[antlioncyclone]

[Luceti both loves this question and makes it much more difficult than it ever needed to be.]

In the world I am from, there are countless kind of creatures. Some need others, and some can live alone. They exist naturally in the world no matter what they think of each other or how different they are. Humans are different from the rest for a number of reasons, but as a whole they are part of the world as well.

[simple.]

It is complicated here. There are creatures which think and speak like humans, but do not look like humans, or who resemble humans in every aspect but say that they are not. Even the ones who claim to be humans act differently from the ones I know, and have strange ideas.

I do not know what to think of it.

[written]

[stilldontgotit]

I guess it's not a big deal to me because I'm used to seeing different creatures that can talk and think like humans. Guess that's what happens when you visit other worlds.

As for humans having strange ideas, it probably has to do with where they're from. Different worlds mean different rules, and where you grow up and how you're raised have a pretty big influence.

Luceti's a place that takes people out of those worlds. Its rules are different, and the whole place is a free-for-all. The things we're used to really don't apply.

[written]

[antlioncyclone]

[Holy Arceus on a stick, it's a Reasonable Person.]

It seems to be a deeper difference than just in knowledge - but I am not a human, so I do not know for sure. Humans mean certain things to my kind, and it is difficult to understand when they act strangely. The rules are different.

There are people here who refuse to understand that other worlds are different from their own, or assume arrogantly that what they know of their own is more valuable than any others. It is insulting and inexcusable.

[Someone's a little bitter.]

[written]

[stilldontgotit]

Some people expect everything to work the way it did back in their worlds. They think their ideas of right, wrong, and what's normal are all that counts.

It's ridiculous, if you ask me. Even the definition of 'human' changes from place to place. Some can use magic, others can't. Some are the dominant species, others aren't.

There are too many worlds out there to place under one world's standards.
