"Is this really going to work?" Riku asks, staring at the door. He's in civilian clothing, cargo pants and a shirt and some good sneakers. He has his hair tied back for the day.

"It might rebuff us, or put us in different places." But Riku is never really one to dawdle on possibilities. He likes to just move and act. Figuring they have a better chance when they go this way, Riku grabs onto Sora's arm and opens the door, pulling Sora out and then -

They're out of a store, in a really crowded area. It looks nothing like he's every seen before. There's some sort of giant tv on the top of a building, and strange metallic things that move on wheels, and -

Well. They certainly reached somewhere different.

There's music in his ears, even there's no possible way. He doesn't understan this at all.

Every day streets are crowded with people
Every night streets are jammed with these noise
"Things are so strange, are they real or a dream"
Where am I now, trapped in this city of illusion

"Wait. Who?"

He's never heard of any rhyme. When did Riku suddenly get into music?

Or maybe it's got something to do with that VOICE IN HIS HEAD AGAIN.

And it's speaking in riddles he can't make out.

"Shibuya." He pauses. "And is this -" he waves his hand around his head to indicate the voice-hearing "- normal in Shibuya?"

Riku gives Sora an odd look. "My girlfriend of several months?

I have no clue what's normal around here. But I think we got trouble."

"Your - what?"

Wasn't he with that other girl? The one who felt very familiar to him, but he could never really remember?

"Wait. When did this happen?"

DAMN RIGHT YOU HAVE TROUBLE. RIKU. WITH SORA.

"Uh. A long time ago. I never saw you in the bar much, then?"

.....

.....

Yeah.

There is a sort of look one gives another when one has been holding out on information for a very long time. And when they're supposed to be your best friend.

That looks is being used right now. With Sora to Riku.

"...uh. I'm dating someone else, too?"

He's telling stuff now!

Cue eye-twitch of doom.

That's all well and good that you're telling things, Riku. But. You should've done this ages ago!

"Since when do you have the time to date a buncha people, Riku?"

Date people and not talk to your bff. :(

"The bar,' Riku says. 'It stops time."

"Yeah, but -"

Okay, he wants to stop sounding like a clingy girl right about now.

He shrugs.

"Never mind."
