It's early morning in the quiet enclosure that will someday become Luceti. The sun is rising, birds are chirping in that annoyingly cheery way that makes you want to shoot them out of the trees, and the residents are beginning to wake up. Most of them are heading to work, either to farm, or to build, or to work the shops, or even just to prepare a nice breakfast for their families and neighbours. Everyone has something to do.

And then, out of nowhere, a couple hundred strangers show up in the middle of the woods.

At first there is confusion, and no shortage of caution, from the neighbours; newcomers are common enough, but usually they are announced beforehand, and never in such great numbers. The leaders of the town are called in to ask questions. The newcomers are free to explore, but any aggression will be met in kind; if need be, the Filial of the past will defend their homes. They're hoping it won't come to that, however. You're stuck with one another for a long time, after all.

Thankfully, there is one man who might be able to bring the natives and newcomers together: Tyr.

...And the other guy, maybe. We'll see.

No, they can't.

[His eyes narrow for a brief moment, and he peers off to the side. Riku's all too familiar with making mistakes.]

I just wonder what kind of mistake it is. And why wait this long? Something just doesn't add up.

[takesyoubytheheart]

[... He jerks, a thought occurring to him.]

... When that bomb dropped...

[stilldontgotit]

You think--

[He stops abruptly, shaking his head.]

But I doubt that's all there is to it. We were having shift malfunctions even before the draft.

[takesyoubytheheart]

Riku, you've been here way longer I have... You know more about this place than I ever will.

... But I can't help thinkin' that... When we were saved, all those shifts before and after, they've been leadin' up ta somethin'.

[stilldontgotit]

No, you're right. Something's gotta be going on. Thing is, it's all so vague. All we really have to go off of are time shifts and that bomb...

[He shudders. Last thing he needs is to dwell on that.]

Well, there could be more to it. It's just a matter of connecting the dots. Putting the pieces together.

[takesyoubytheheart]

It's a little harder ta do that when yer not given all the dots. We're not bein' told everythin'.

[Which is painful - Mickey's done that enough times to people...]

[stilldontgotit]

Then I guess we'll have to connect them ourselves? Might as well call me Detective Riku.

[It's said jokingly, but man, that'd be a trip. In fact, it's almost tempting now...]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[Mickey smirks.]

... Might as well call me Doctor Mickey Watson, in that case.

[stilldontgotit]

So does that mean we're gonna need to dress up? I don't even know if they carry those detective caps around here.

[But the idea shouldn't be so tempting. Has Sora's goofiness finally rubbed off on him?]
