What: Being a lost newbie
Where: Traverse Town [various]
When: AT THIS VERY MOMENT
Warnings: There may be yelling at Even involved.

Fourth District: Tower

It's not the kind of place he expected to wake up - truth be told, he didn't expect to wake up at all, but here he was. It'd been almost too much, when he first woke to a moogle hovering and kupo-ing in his face, but he'd suffered through it until he could get away, get somewhere to clear his head.

And that's how he wound up here, on the top of a tower with a view over a good section of the town. There's a bit of a breeze up on the tower, which seems to bother the chittering Dream Eater the moogles wouldn't let him leave without more than it does the boy himself. He's not particularly sure what to do with it, but as long as it doesn't go causing him problems, it can stay.

The boy drops to sit with his legs dangling over the ledge, one hand bracing himself against the doorway of the platform he's on. It's strange to think that this is the first time he's ever actually been outside of Castle Oblivion; the fake memories he has of the Destiny Islands are just that. Fake.

There's nothing more he can learn from just sitting up here.The replica lifts himself and jumps over the edge of the ledge, the Komory Bat squeaking and following after him.

Second District: In front of hotel

The moogles had given him enough munny to get a room here for a couple of nights, and he knows, vaguely, how hotels work, in the same kind of vague sense that he knows anything about the world. He's not sure yet, however, whether or not he wants to stay there. It's not like he could just hole up in the hotel forever, so why bother?

(But it's not like he has anywhere else to go, either.)

The spirit fluttering nearby doesn't seem to have the same hesitation that the boy does, however - the next time the doors of the hotel ope, it flies forward in an attempt to get through the doorway before it shuts again. The boy starts and tries to reach out and catch it - which is likely to end in him running into whoever is trying to get through the door at the time. What a way to make an introduction.

Anywhere else in town - Your choice!

The boy with the Komory Bat fluttering at his shoulder keeps mostly to the walls as he explores the town, hands in his pockets as he peers into shop windows. It doesn't seem like he's looking for anything in particular, although he stops a bit longer atclothing shops than at most of the others. It doesn't seem like he's particularly worried about finding somewhere safe from the Nightmares; from the look of it, he's confident that he can take care of himself.

Looking around will spot the uninjured teenager nearby enough - he'd climbed to the next nearest rooftop by the time the two arrived, and the noise of a nearby Komory Bat might give him away before he jumps down into the background of the two's conversation.

"Looking for something?" There's something a little arrogant in his tone, but from the sound of it, he's mostly confused as to why they've shown up suddenly. The Dream Eater flutters down to hover behind him.

Jeeves was about to reply when the new voice rose behind them. He felt like he was doing far more spinning about on his heel than was strictly decent for a staid gentleman, but there were far too many alarming things not to look at.

His own Komory Bat squeaked at the sight of this new Person. New people! Like the new horse! Such excitement.

It started toward the other bat, but Jeeves called out, "Descartes, return!" Descartes was torn between investigating and listening to his Person. In the end, the bat did relent, returning to hover near Jeeves, just in case was needed to defend him.

Jeeves for his part was relieved and pleased the animal had actually obeyed. "Sir," he said to the bizarrely-dressed boy - why did they all have to have such disagreeable clothing choices? - standing there, "were you the one who jumped from the tower?"

"Riku?" Luna actually seemed rather more surprised by this than she had to find evidence of flying humans. "Goodness. It has been some time." At least that explained the leaping; though she'd never seen him do it in the time he was here, he was from roughly the same world as Ventus. She imagined he could given proper training.

"Are you well?" She'd never been especially close with him before, but that was no reason to be rude.

"Yeah, what about it?"

Anything further down that line of inquiry is derailed, though, when he hears Riku's name from Luna. His posture immediately goes unfriendly; he folds his arms and nearly glares at the pony princess.

"I'm not Riku." That's pretty much the most blunt way to put it. "I doubt he's hiding around here anywhere."

Jeeves had yet to complete his review of the archives. They were much too extensive (and disturbing with the images of so many strange-looking people) to consume in one sitting. He made a mental note to seek out anything on the person 'Riku' at the earliest possible convenience, though.

He was relieved that the boy was alive, of course, though his tone did nothing to endear him to Jeeves.

"May we ask who you are, then, sir?" the valet put in. "My name is Jeeves and this is Her Royal Highness, Princess Luna of Equestria." He motioned to the pony feeling more than a little odd to be offering introductions for an equine.

Luna nodded in greeting as Jeeves took the initiative to introduce her, including her proper title. How nice; maybe she would keep him. Her expression was still a bit confused, however. The boy certainly looked exactly as Riku had, 'twas not a simple resemblance. But if he said he was not Riku, well, she supposed he would know better than she.

"Are you not? My apologies, then." Perhaps he was...well, whatever Roxas and Ventus were to each other. She was fairly sure that had never been adequately explained to anyone.

"...I'm nobody important." Yes, that's definitely the best way to cover for the fact that he doesn't have his own name and really doesn't want to talk about the matter.

"The fact that you possess a double who has been present in this place prior to your entrance and your ability to leap from buildings without sustaining serious injury or death would seem to negate that sentiment, sir, if you will forgive me the contradiction." Jeeves wasn't typically in the habit of so aggressively rebutting someone upon first meeting, but these were unusual circumstances and the young man's attitude did grate.

Luna cast Jeeves a look before speaking herself. She agreed with his first point at least, but the second really wasn't all that out-of-place here. The poor man was going to have quite a bit to accustom himself to, wasn't he?

Now this, perhaps this was something more suited for Master Eraqus or one of the others to tend to...they would at least have some idea what could possibly have happened to cause this. Nonetheless, she was here.

"Nonsense, surely thou art someone."

"Well, I'm not." Neither party is going to be winning points with the other any time soon, obviously. "If you're friends of Riku's, then... fine, whatever. I'm just not him."

That avenue clearly would not produce any fruit. Whoever the boy was, he had no interest in them knowing. Jeeves made a note to seek out any information on Riku and commentary related to the boy. With luck, that would prove more useful than questioning an obstinate youth.

"Very well, sir. Are you familiar with this realm and its mechanics, then?" It was a round about way of getting at what knowledge Not Riku possessed, but it would have to do for now. "The Moogles tend to provide only the cursory level of detail. Should you require further instruction, I would be happy to aid you."

Luna just raised an eyebrow. "The point is taken. I did not know Riku especially well anyhow." Yes, THIS was going to require some follow-up. Maybe she would ask Aqua about her world and doubles.

He's not really impressed with Jeeves either, and he's definitely not going to admit his own ignorance in front of the guy. (Luna is making a better impression, at least.)

"Nothing I can't figure out on my own. I'll keep you in mind, though." Best you're gonna get out of him.

"Thank you, sir." There was little point in remaining, then, considering the general dismissal in the boy's tone. "If you will forgive me any rudeness, I will take my leave, then. I wish to inform everyone that you have not come to harm in your aerial feats. Thank you for your assistance, madam."

He tipped his hat to Luna and the youth before allowing his feet to carry him away noiselessly and off toward the safety of one of the buildings to reply to the rest of the responses on his communicator.
