[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.]

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

Wow...

*tilts her head this way and that*

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

[darknessinside]

There's a fort and stuff. Like a tree house. Secret caves, stretches of beaches. There's this long pier that faces the sunset, you used to always sit on the end of it a lot.

Sitting on the end of a pier

*But the sentence doesn't appear to be finished, like she's given up half way through writing*

[Notices that and waits for a moment, but he replies when nothing else seems to be coming.]

Yeah -- you alright?

written

[booyaka_boom]

Yeah. It's just really weird. I mean, having someone tell me things about my past that I had no idea about. At all.

written

[darknessinside]

...Sorry.

written

[booyaka_boom]

Don't be. It's not your fault. It sounds nice and everything but - it's just weird because it would be nice if I could remember these things a bit more, ya know?

written

[darknessinside]

It's still possible you're not the Selphie I know. Maybe you're not from Destiny Islands. Though...I'd take you there anyway, if I could.

written

[booyaka_boom]

Maybe. It's all just very strange.

And thanks - I could do with a little get away!

written

[darknessinside]

Same. You kind of just had one, though, didn't you?

written

[booyaka_boom]

Not really.

I'm staying on the Moon for a couple of days right. Not sure that that counts, though, either.

written

[darknessinside]

You are?

[SORRY, he's out of the loop. Preoccupied with his own relationship drama that was entirely his own fault.]

Wait, what happened??

written

[booyaka_boom]

Yup.

*Relationship dramas R Us*

I just thought I'd come stay over for a few days. I'll probably go back to The Sun soon.

*Probably. Maybe*

written

[darknessinside]

Oh. Alright, as long as you're okay... Good to have you.

written

[booyaka_boom]

*And it occurs to Selphie just how much easier it is to be believed with writing, rather than voice*

Yeah.

*She's scribbled out 'I'll be' to write:*

I'm fine. And thanks.

written

[darknessinside]

Would you tell me even if you weren't?

written

[booyaka_boom]

*There's a long moment before she replies*

I came over here to clear my mind and get some space. It seems to be working. So I'm feeling better, thanks.

written

[darknessinside]

Good. I hope so. Whatever happened, it'll be okay.

[Borrowing some of Sora's seemingly endless supply of optimism there.

There's a pause on this end, too, before he writes more.]

Sorry, this might be a dumb question, but -- how long have you been on the Moon?

written

[booyaka_boom]

Thanks.

*She's gradually beginning to think it'll be okay too, but she's not brave enough to say it yet*

Only a day or so. I got here yesterday.

written

[darknessinside]

Oh. Did you see Natsuno before you came over?

written

[booyaka_boom]

No, I just came straight over. I didn't tell anyone I was coming.

Want me to pass on a message for you?

written

[darknessinside]

No -- no need. I was just curious.

Thanks, though.

written

[booyaka_boom]

Everything okay...?

written

[darknessinside]

Not really, but that's my fault so I can't really whine about it.
