[There aren't any words, just a random sketch of an island showing up in the journals. If it looks like it was done by a 5-year-old, WELL...that's because Riku isn't an artist, so whatever. Shut up. He's just trying to pass the time anyway.

If anyone on his crew needs him, they can find him sprawled on his hammock in his room.]

Cute! That looks like a pretty island. Relaxing :)

[darknessinside]

Thanks... That's home. Destiny Islands.

[booyaka_boom]

Oh... Where I used to (maybe kinda sorta) live too, right? It's pretty!

written

[darknessinside]

Yeah. That's part of the island the kids would go hang out on. Our houses and stuff were on the mainland.

[booyaka_boom]

Wow...

*tilts her head this way and that*

If I really did live there...it's a shame I can't remember it.

[vysecaptain]

An oasis?

[written]

[darknessinside]

Kind of. That's my home.

[written]

[vysecaptain]

Looks like a nice place to live.

...That's water around the trees, right?

[written]

[darknessinside]

Yeah, the bottom part of the picture.

...I didn't have any colored pencils or anything.

[vysecaptain]

Ah, sorry...I've been here for a while now and islands surrounded by water are still unusual to me. I thought it was sand.

I bet you could order some.

Whooaa that's a great drawing!

[he's used to how ruby draws and such, okay. she's the worst at this kind of stuff.]

[darknessinside]

[Just gonna blink at that for a second, then he snorts a little.]

I don't know about great, but thanks.

[conntego]

It is! It's way better than what I've seen my friends do.

They just uh... kinda draw circles for people and slap a head on them, or something.

[they're not very creative artists.]

written;

[darknessinside]

Yeah, note the lack of any people in this drawing. Stick figures are about all I can manage, too.

written;

[conntego]

Yeah same here! But hey you put it up on the journal, that's pretty brave too! I wouldn't be able to do that.

[feetarestrange]

Looks pretty peaceful. Have you been there before, or was it something you wanted to draw?

voice;

[darknessinside]

I grew up there, that's my home. Peaceful pretty much defines it. Sometimes it felt a little too peaceful.

voice;

[feetarestrange]

So I'm guessing not much happened over there? It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I guess too much of it could get pretty tiring.

What's it called?

voice;

[darknessinside]

No, not a bad thing... Really, we were lucky. It just -- once upon a time, it started to feel like a prison. Not anymore.

Destiny Islands.

voice;

[feetarestrange]

A prison? How do you mean?

Hey, nice drawing! [Have what has practically been described as "cheagle scratch" appearing on this entry. In other words, his handwriting is on the same level as a--you guessed it!--a 5-year-old. At least his grammar and spelling are correct!] That definitely looks better than anything I could ever do.

So, that's home for you?

[ written ]

[darknessinside]

[Squints at said 5-year-old writing for a moment before replying.]

It's really not that good, but thanks. Yeah, that's where I live. I'm missing it more than usual lately.

[ written ]

[headfons]

[Okay...maybe it's not QUITE that bad. His handwriting reflects the fact that he's technically only eight years old.]

You're welcome. [He disagrees, but whatever.] How long have you been here?

[ written ]

[darknessinside]

Since the first wave. It's been almost half a year now.

[...Geez. Has it seriously been that long?]

[ written ]

[headfons]

[That's a long time...

Of course, in Luke's mind, it's literally twice as long. That's what happens, though, when a person comes from a world where a month is sixty days- as opposed to thirty. And a year is thirteen months, as opposed to twelve.]

Wow, almost 6 1/2 months?
