So, he decided to leave the datascape for a short awhile. He left a note for Sora in case the other program started to freak out. Then he simply left and went to the first place he could think of – The real Riku’s computer. Was he even here?  There was only so much he could see from the webcam.

“Everything alright?”

“Yeah yeah - everything’s fine. I just– decided to come visit.” He eventually said.  “I hope that’s not a problem…? Sorry I haven’t come by earlier.”

What could he say? He’d been worried.

“What about you? How’s everyone else?”

So, he decided to leave the datascape for a short awhile. He left a note for Sora in case the other program started to freak out. Then he simply left and went to the first place he could think of – The real Riku’s computer. Was he even here?  There was only so much he could see from the webcam.

“Everything alright?”

“Yeah yeah - everything’s fine. I just-- decided to come visit.” He eventually said.  “I hope that’s not a problem...? Sorry I haven’t come by earlier.”

He probably shouldn’t stay here long, the castle’s magic could affect his own data. But a quick look around couldn’t hurt right?

But, for once, he heard footsteps echoing off the pure white walls of the castle and they were nearby, to boot. The data-Nobody quickly jumped up from his spot, gloved hands pulling the hood of his coat back over his head before opening a portal and walking through it, hoping he wasn’t spotted.

“H-Hey!” Riku is quick to follow, hoping he could make it in time to get through the portal aswell. He pulls his own hood up before just barely being able to make it through the portal. Was this the guy Sora told him about?

“I’m good either way.” Okay that maybe was a small lie- he really really really wants to find out anything he could. Even hidden data would be better than what they had.

“How’s everything out there, though? You haven’t been back in awhile - is there anything else I can do to help?”

Then came to meeting Riku in person and the data replica lowered his head slightly. “I honestly - don’t know if him or the real Sora know about the datascape. Mickey said he would tell them but none of them have been back in awhile.” There’s a small sigh before he’s shaking his head. “But they’re busy, I get it. Hey, since you’re here why don’t I give you a tour of the castle. Just give me a second to get the projection program up and running again.” Anything to work as a distraction--

“How did you get here?!”

“You do not need to know.” was his short and simple reply. This other Riku however… was rather interesting. So many possibilities, a place created of data, he could learn so much here.

After those words are said, he charges at Ansem.

“Not eating the food I give you is not going to make me give you nicer food.” “You should be grateful I come down here and talk to you at all.” “Listen to me or I’ll treat you even worse.” “I picked you off the street because you were beautiful. You should feel flattered.” “You don’t need freedom if I give you everything you need.” “You can come out of the basement if you give me a very good reason to let you.” “What’s this? Are you trying to get away from me? You should know better.” “Get on your knees and pray I’ll forgive you.” “Oh, you’re hungry? Sing me a song and you can have my leftovers.” “Don’t cry, I’m keeping you safe down here, away from the world. You don’t need it. You only need me.” “Freedom is a burden. You should be glad I took it away from you.” “I bought you some new clothes. Please wear them tonight at dinner.” “You don’t get to decide anything, understood? I make the rules and you obey them if you want to remain unharmed.” “You’re nothing but a little doll I get to play with.” “I own you.” “Don’t worry, I’m not going to take away your virginity just like that. I’m saving it for something special.” “I’m not going to kill you. Not yet.” “If you’re good, you can shower with warm water today.” “Crying won’t make me stop hurting you. It just encourages me.” “You’re so young…” “I love it when you scream, but I will only stop when you can’t scream anymore.” “I’m sorry, I completely forgot you were still down here.” “There’s someone coming to join me tonight. I’m sure you’ll be quiet, or I’ll have to kill my guest again and it’ll be your fault.” “You’re going to have some company tonight. Try to think of him/her as your little brother/sister. I want you to do to him/her what I do to you, understood?” “I’m bringing some friends along to show them how well trained you are.” “How dare you talk to me like that. Wash your mouth, with soap. Now.” “It’s been a pleasure watching you grow up. Your mummy and daddy would have been so proud of you.” “I brought you some food. Now crawl over here and lick it out of the bowl like a good pet.” “I think you should remind me why you’re worth keeping alive down here.” “Tell me how much you love me and you can have your dinner.” — “Hello? Is anyone down here?!” “Oh my god, what is this place? How can you still be alive? I’ll get you help! Please hold on.” “You don’t have to hide from me. I’m trying to help you. I won’t hurt you, I promise.” “What happened to you? How long have you been kept here?” “Hello? Where am I?! Who are you?” “Have you ever tried to escape? Do you think it’s possible if we work together?” “It’s the police! Show yourself!” “Is that really you? Oh my god, I found you, I can’t believe I found you…”
