Characters: Riku and WIDE OPEN!
Setting: after this thread; Floor 14 - Media Floor
Format: Action preferred, but I'll match
Summary: Riku asked about his Halloween costume, Ruana supplied a DVD. Clearly this calls for a MOVIE NIGHT~!
Warnings: flailing, popcorn throwing, but I doubt there will be anything beyond that. Also, feel free to threadjack around as you like? |D


[At first, Riku isn't entirely sure what to do with the disc Ruana left with him... the terminal wouldn't play it though, which leaves him with one other floor that probably suits his needs.

...He is probably a little to curious/bothered by all of this, he thinks as he climbs up the stairs to the Media Floor.

And still it doesn't keep him from tracking down the right slot to stuff that disc into and settling back into one of the couches, glancing down when Highwind materializes from a cluster of clouds and curls against his side, frowning down at him as the ballet starts. Then he just shakes his head and focuses on the film before him, one hand absently settling in the bat's fur.

Time to see what this story Ruana had spoken of was all about.

Care to join him?]

[Well, at least you guys have prevented her from having the theory that you're either brothers or one of you is a convincing body-double]

What?! The....same person from different universes?! [Shit.....Colette knows about the concept of different worlds - after all, her world, Sylvarant, had a parallel world called Tethe'alla and Tethe'alla even had its own Chosen One. Still, she had never heard of anything like this before!

Maybe there was another Colette out there. That would be weird...]

[keybearer]

Exactly.

[He brings a hand to his chin.]

Think of it like this. We both started out on roughly the same track, but our lives took a different turn at one key point. We're both Riku, but we have completely different experiences under our belts.

[Riku crosses his hands, frowning as he looks for a way to build up on his double's explanation.]

It's like standing on a crossroad. You could say, he decided to go left and I decided to go right; that effected every decision from thereon. That's why we aren't really exactly the same, despite looks.

Too many different experiences.

[clumsyjesus]

.....So there might be another Colette out there. [And she looks deep and thoughtful for a second. Maybe sad?]

Maybe one who's....[And Colette suddenly stops there. She was going to say "Maybe one who has saved the world". Maybe there is a Colette out there did not fail her role as a Chosen.....or was, rather.

Not that Colette is going to say anything about that for the moment. She feels that it would be selfish of her to talk to the two Rikus about her problems - especially since they are in a terrible place like the Tower, anyway, and probably have suffered enough from it, already. They will have enough on their plates.

So instead, she just puts on a smile.]

Well, I admit it's kind of strange. I never would have believed something like that would have happened until I came here. So there might be fifteen Professor Sages out there. That would mean more homework!

[keybearer]

Only if they ganged up on you. If it's any consolation, though, I've never seen more than two versions at a time.

[Which is probably for the best. Otherwise, it'd get way too confusing. If doubles started pouring in from every nook and cranny, they'd need a whole slew of name tags.]

[justabignobody]

Something to be glad for.

[Between the two of them and the Replica there are really already more than enough people sharing a face.

No need to add to that.]
