[Well, this isn't Kansas. Not that Sokka knows what Kansas is, but it's not strictly Luceti either. This cell is certainly not the room he slept in. It's dark, sort of cold, and most of his stuff isn't there. Then again, he doesn't really remember going to sleep the night before. Hadn't he been fighting some sort of golem-like creature? It seemed a

[Riku doesn't want to do the entire explanation thing. He prefers functioning in the background, maybe coming in on the tail end to elaborate if that's what's necessary.

But everyone else has been doing a -really bad job- of explaining what's going on so far.]

You're almost right. You have been kidnapped, but not by any scientists.

This place is called Holloway's Keep.

[Audio]

[wiselymarked]

[Oh. Writing. It's too dark to write, so he's going to talk here.]

Holloway's Keep, huh... would the guys in charge happen to be big, soldier-y guys with big wings that are big on sacrifices?

[Text]

[heroinwait]

[Sorry, Sokka, but Riku's leery about the audio functions. He's been trying to go incognito for a while now--no use in speaking aloud and giving himself away.]

Not that I've seen, no.

I take it wings were pretty common where you came from?

[Audio]

[wiselymarked]

[He may give up and text eventually, but for now he's going to be annoyed at having to read this.]

You get them when you arrive here... there- wait. You don't have wings?

[Text]

[heroinwait]

No, I don't. Nobody else has wings, either, except for those who've always had them.

[He's seen a couple of them around.]

I don't know where you were before this--but you're not there anymore. And you won't be going back to it. Not for the foreseeable future, anyways.

[Audio]

[wiselymarked]

I doubt that. If I remember Luceti, then there's not much chance I'm going to be left here long.

[The idea that it would go otherwise? It's laughable.]

[Text]

[heroinwait]

You think so? There are people here who were on some sort of ship before this--same story, different place. If they haven't gone back yet, I doubt you will be.

[Text]

[wiselymarked]

You say that now, but I've been doing this kind of thing for almost two years now. [He is a pro on this jamjar nonsense, man.]

[Text]

[heroinwait]

So've I.

[Well, not really, it's actually only been a little over a year, and it's certainly not the same as Sokka's experiences in Luceti, but if you think Riku's going to back down on the grounds of inexperience, you'd be crazy.]

This is different.

[Audio]

[wiselymarked]

We'll see. So who are you anyway?

[Text]

[heroinwait]

[Riku's first instincts are to say that he's "nobody important." But he's given his name to a few people already, and as he's discovered, it's easy to creep look at other entries for information...]

Riku.

And you're Sokka. Right?

[Voice]

[wiselymarked]

Riku? I know a Riku. Silver haired guy, kind of dense...

[But the kind of use voice messages and not be mysterious. Can't be the same guy.]

[heroinwait]

[LONGEST. PAUSE. EVER. ...even if it doesn't show up in writing.]

I suppose that means there's a third version of me out there somewhere.

[Audio]

[markofthewise]

[Oh. OH. So this is Riku!]

Well that explains how you know me, then.

[Text]

[heroinwait]

Not really. I'm not the Riku you knew there. Somebody else mentioned your name earlier.

[Audio]

[markofthewise]

Oh. [A pause.]

So why the writing? Did you lose your voice or something?
