"Man, I remember when people thought getting the badges was our ticket home. Funny how that turns out, right?" He snickers under his breath. Man, and then they moved that goalpost to the Elite Four. Still no dice.

Oh, what a world. Ah, but drinks? Riku turns to the bartender and flashes a smile.

"Honestly, I just wonder how I'd reconcile the extra memories. Spent the last decade here just getting by, so getting thrust into some worldhopping adventure I've only heard about by proxy... I don't even know what that'd do to me. And would my age regress, or would it just be mental?" These are the things he thinks about every now and then.

It's a bit unsettling, to say the least.
islandshore: (RIKU used LEER!)

bah. Family emergency happened- sorry for yet another delay x_x

"Ha. It would, but man... the idea of going home's just daunting." Riku's gazes wanders to the ceiling, and his posture tenses ever so slightly. "Just... the fact that it'd mean losing the past ten years. If there was a way to keep those memories, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

But if we just forget when we go... what's the point of even being here? I keep finding myself asking stuff like that. What's the point of getting close to people who're a revolving door? What's the point of opening your heart to someone when they could get torn away in a heartbeat, and even if they do come back, they might be back to how they were before, while you've changed..."

A dry snicker slips from him. "...Man, it's so cynical when you think about it. Probably better not to, honestly. I guess one of those mental trips home might soften the blow, but I think it'd also be a lot to mentally reconcile."

Benefit to Cecil being an adult. More mental maturity already.

IT'S BEEN... a rollercoaster, tbh. Some other dumb stuff came up, too. This month is just lame. xP

"Heh. You know, that sounds like something Sora or Ven would say." A sad smile crosses his face. Man... They've both been gone for so long, too. It's still kind of unreal.

"I guess it's possible those memories could reawaken at some point, but... I guess the other problem's just. What we leave behind. Our teams. Our accomplishments. I get that taking Pokemon with us could probably disrupt some 'balance' between dimensions, but a lot of us raise Pokemon from birth. Are we really just supposed to leave them behind?"

If there was just a way to... choose. To keep the memories. To keep at least some Pokemon. To know that this isn't all just a drawn out fever dream. Heh, that'd be something.
