How sure can you be of that? He looked *just* like you, and I bet he thought he was the real one, too.

[It nags at her like a lingering itch: the awareness that her memory was only a brief part of a greater scene, conversation without context. It feels like she should be able to remember more if she really tries, and maybe then they'd know who's really right.

In the absence of that... well, the answer is always more trolling, isn't it? Maybe she'll provoke him into telling her more.]

[darkinferno]

[No. He was the real one. He distinctly remembers the other version of him saying he'd been made out of Dante--out of Riku's own data. Why would the real Riku be saying that to a replica...?]

how do you know he was named riku?

[twelfthspark]

How do I know any of this shit? 🙄

[darkinferno]

you're right, stupid question

let me rephrase

who said his name was riku? you? or someone else?

[twelfthspark]

Someone else. A kid who was all shocked he wasn't actually this Riku guy.

[darkinferno]

and what'd this kid look like?

[C'MON ARLENE GIVE HIM THE DEETS ALREADY]

[twelfthspark]

idk, he had hair like an anime character.

[Says the girl with antennae.]

Nobody I know now.

[darkinferno]

[ARLENE YOU ARE THE MOST UNHELPFUL]

yeah but /i/ might

you know you want to figure this out just as much as i do-- [Maybe even more; after his last few memories Dante isn't sure what he wants to do with them...] --so why don't you cut the crap and give me all the detail instead of making me go through this cross-examination bullshit

[twelfthspark]

I don't remember his face very well OK? He had blue eyes and stupid spiky hair, he was pretty young and that's all I remember about him so you're just gonna have to deal.

[darkinferno]

[...................................nope

nope nope nope nope he's not doing this

fuck this shit he's out TIME TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT]

fine whatever

i'm pretty sure the place was castle oblivion though

[twelfthspark]

You think so? The colors (or not) fit the other castle better.

[darkinferno]

other castle? what other castle?

[twelfthspark]

I could have sworn I told you. The first thing I remembered, remember? Big, spiky and gray all over ring a bell?

[darkinferno]

[On his end, Dante's frowning.]

that's the one that made me remember castle oblivion

castle oblivion's brown on the outside though

so there's a second castle somewhere... i wonder if it's one i'd ever been to

[twelfthspark]

I *know* what Castle Oblivion looks like on the outside, jackass, you made me remember.

[Arlene Sinclair attached an image:]

[darkinferno]

what the hell is that

[Okay, obviously it's the castle she's talking about, but...]

you're right, it's definitely not castle oblivion. what's that symbol supposed to be? if it were upside down it'd almost be the one for the heartless but i haven't seen that one before

[twelfthspark]

Unfortunate, that's what it is

[come on, it even has balls]

But seriously I don't know. That's the only place I've seen it

[darkinferno]

you're telling me

let me know if you see it again, it really makes me think of those emblems but i've got no idea what it is they all symbolize
