Hey.

Guess the time has come to be a little more obvious about this. Something strange just showed up. They're colorful monsters that are running all over the place. I haven't seen these ones before, but I know they're familiar. Thing is, familiar is bad. These things can hurt you. I'm not sure of what all they're capable of, but if you see anything, bright, colorful, and monstrous running around ... go in the opposite direction.

And—I was gonna try avoiding this, but here's a proper introduction. My name is Riku. Where I come from, and probably where other people come from, even if they just don't know it yet, some people have the power to wield keyblades. These keyblades are a sign of a strong heart. Recently, I ... well, I got named keyblade master. So while we're all stuck here together, I guess I'm in charge of looking after you all.

That—uh, that isn't to say you guys can't do it, too. I've seen people fight from all different types of places. And my best friend ... he's seen even more. But I can't slack on the job.

Anyway, if you have questions about these things, go ahead. I'm about to go personally check them out myself.

And Lea? It's time to see what you can do.

What if I said I'd go easy on you?

[rescuerdownunder]

Man, no way. That'd just be embarrassing.

[doublebladed]

You've gotta practice sometime, don't you?

[rescuerdownunder]

I can do it on my own, thanks. I'm a big boy. I can handle figuring this thing out.

[spoiler: a day after this convo he hits namine in the face with it]

I'm going to laugh when I see this, aren't I.

[rescuerdownunder]

No you're not, that's why I'm training alone.

[doublebladed]

Man, you're taking all of the fun out of it.

[rescuerdownunder]

[dryly;] Thanks, I try.

[doublebladed]

Yeah, okay. Just you wait. You'll be begging me for help soon.

[rescuerdownunder]

I seriously don't see that happening anytime soon, but whatever makes you feel better about yourself, Roxas.

[he doesn't see it happening because lbr lea asking for help on anything ever hahahaha]
