Riku appeared in the middle of the Radiant Garden marketplace. He loved this world. It was extremely beautiful. He thought this would be the perfect meeting place regarding his organization.
Since Sora had left mysteriously, Riku needed help running his army. Mickey had recommended a mysterious man named, Vincent and since Riku had no choice, he decided to call a meeting. Riku sat down on a bench, awaiting his good friend, and his new future colleague.
Riku watched the people of Radiant Garden walk by. It's hard to believe this place used to be a trash heap controlled by Malefiscent.

The enigmatic man walked through the streets, ignoring the citizens of this place that eyed him warily. Oh sure, he was odd-looking enough, but not harmless. Anything but harmless. Scary? Possibly, but some might say he had a kind heart. His red eyes scanned the marketplace slowly, jet-black hair messily waving about with his movements. What was he to do? And he had nothing on his list, nor anyplace to go at the moment. Why not go exploring?
Vincent was just passing by, like an innocent tourist who just happened to look eerily out of place.
What did he want in this life? Nothing, really. Just getting his bearings for now. The former Turk felt his veins hum with power. Stupid Chaos. Why was it back? And it was nearly responding. Power lurked nearby. Raising one golden hand to clamp his arm to stop the pain and the transformation, he looked over to a bench nearby with a graceful turn of his head. Perhaps late teens, he eyed the boy carefully, unmoving and relaxed at once.

Riku could sense someone else's eyes land upon him. He didn't look up, but instead, waited for the king. After about ten minutes, and the king still wasn't there, Riku decided to look up at his visitor. The man fit King Mickey's description exactly. Riku decided to walk over and ask if it was him, though he was quite sure.
"Vincent, I presume?" Riku said as he approached Vincent. He said it very quietly because he did not want the wrong people overhearing their meeting. Riku held his hand out to shake Vincent's hand.

He bristled at that.
"How... do you know my name?" Vincent asked. "And who are you?" His scarlet eyes were nearly accusing, but he knew it would be hardly polite or realistic to be hostile in this environment. Likewise to the speaker, he kept his voice down. He tilted his head curiously to the side while looking at his outstretched hand. The man wasn't going to take it until he figured out whether or not the situation wasn't meant for a good purpose. Subconsciously, his foot shifted on the ground, ready for either fleeing or fighting. His left hand still clenched his other arm, a strong grip to control Chaos within him. As if it sensed something it wanted. And it obviously wouldn't be good if it was released now.
And how did this guy find out about him? Must have been Cid or Yuffie. Or was this guy the "Sora" kid that he'd been wanting to meet? He'd told Cid about that, but he claimed Sora would be hard to get ahold of. Vincent knew, though, that Cid had his ways. Or was it Yuffie, with her motormouth of hyperness that he absolutely could not relax around?
A small mumble of pain escaped his lips momentarily before he adamantly forced Chaos back down. This guy wasn't ordinary. What was odd, though, was that he expected Sora to look like a little kid...
((So Vincent hasn't met either the King or Riku or Sora, but he wants to meet Sora and has been in contact with Cid and Yuffie. I'm thinking perhaps Cid or Yuffie got in touch with the King who then relayed info to Riku. *gotta tie the RP plots together*))

((alright, that's cool))
Riku watched as it seemed the man was struggling with something. Riku knew it wasn't his place to ask what was happening to him, but jumped at the fact that he realized he didn't introduce himself. "Sorry," Riku said, "I'm Riku. I would think that you were-" That's when it hit Riku that the king probably never talked directly to Vincent.
Riku thought for a minute how to explain the situation. He finally realized how to make it short and simple. "You may or may not know about someone called King Mickey. He is the king of practically all of the worlds. Recently, I have created an army along with my friends: Sora and Kairi. However...Sora recently has disappeared. I need someone to take his place, and one thing led to another, and King Mickey recommended you and said I could find you here. So...first thing's first. Have you met a mouse named King Mickey."
Riku stopped for a minute and let all that information sink into Vincent.

So straightforward. That, he liked, but didn't appreciate because he hadn't a clue in hell what was going on.
"...I have not met His Majesty," he said, releasing his arm with difficulty and steadying his breath. He found it more appropriate to give King Mickey a formal address even in Riku's presence. "And... you are Sora's friend?" A pause. A blink. Oh. This explained so much more... not. Damn that Yuffie or Cid or whatever moogle did it. He didn't know any of these people. Vincent made a mental note to introduce himself later to the King if he ever met him.
"I am he," he responded to the original question, not caring whether or not Riku would remember it. "...You want me to take a position in your army? Why should I care?" He would be careful, that's for sure. But... Riku's hair surprisingly resembled his own. Long and smooth, though perhaps not as wild as Vincent's own dark locks. What was this guy's ability? To lead an army, he must be strong. To ask Vincent to lead it as well, Vincent appreciated the fact that Riku may know about his abilities, also wary he had no idea what Riku himself could do. It was confusing, really.

Riku smiled at Vincent's question. He went through tons of reasons why Vincent should care inside his own head. He eventually decided to come out with the most important one. "Because currently," Riku said, there is a group of people plotting to destroy every world in this universe." If that wasn't a good reason, Riku didn't know what was.
"Even if you don't want to stay permanently, I just need someone to help me keep everyone under control and train the new recruits. Who knows? Maybe you'll decide to stay. So is there anything else I can do to give you even more of a reason to help out?" Riku was trying to get all the essential information out first so that they can talk about the details later.
((Just curious, how am I doing RP wise? I've been trying to improve on length and stuff like that.))

((It's pretty good. It takes time to develop a "deeper" sense of roleplaying, but it feels like you're getting there. i.e. I don't feel the calm hold on power that Riku normally has in your roleplay, but I feel his passionate ability in speaking.))
Saying that the universe was threatened with a smile on his face was impressive. He digested that information next. Saving the world again? So soon after leaving Gaia? Not that he really asked for it, but all right. He'd done it once, he'd done it twice, hell he'd done it a third time. A fourth wouldn't hurt. Would he be required to actually march or whatever in front of an army? Were they going for a Tsviet DeepGround thing? Were they opposing the destruction or stopping them in order to do it themselves? Well, if he was Sora's friend, it wasn't likely that the motive would be too bad.
Vincent shook his head at Riku's outstretched hand, rejecting the handshake.
"I will join you, but I find nothing in it for me yet," he said, expression masked cleanly. He would find nothing for now, and it wasn't exactly advantageous. But Vincent was not a cruel man, nor evil at heart. He would be there for now. After he told off Yuffie or a Moogle or Cid for blabbing about him. More likely than not it was the Wutai Ninja. He suppressed a shudder. No, he was not paired up with that hyperactive motormouth. Vincent's mind quickly ran off on a more relevant tangent.
"...Why do you select me?"

Riku had a small look of rejection on his face when Vincent declined his handshake, but then seemed to brighten when he said that he would help. Then came a question that Riku didn't know how to answer. He wished the king would have shown up to make things easier. Riku thought for a minute as a gust of wind came by and blew his hair wildly.
"Well, I was told about you by King Mickey. I don't know how that he knows of you since you did say that you've never met him. Maybe he has just heard about you, and decided that you would be a good decision for our team."

Inclined to bow, he did so in response to the King's introduction. He didn't need to be told that this guy was powerful, and his veins thrummed with the power the King must hold. Not that he really knew at the moment, but Vincent intended to find out. Straightening, Vincent couldn't help but look over King Mickey. A little on the short side and all of that, but holding a dignified regality nonetheless. Good. Kings needed that.
"Cloud... he is here?" his query was more to himself than to the others. So Cloud was indeed here. Psh. Another gossip to add to his chiding list. Thing was, did Cloud meet Aerith already? The flower girl was supposed to be dead, and yet she was here and hale as Cid said. Now, if Vincent saw Lucrecia here, that would totally ruin his persona, and he knew it. The last person he wanted to meet, and yet the first person he wanted by his side again. Can sin be forgiven? He'd found out it was true, yes. But that didn't mean he felt minor guilt pains every now and then, even after feeling forgiven and reaching a sort of enlightenment. Anyways...
"You both, and this army," he began. "Fight against this.. this... threat to destroy the universe, and require warriors and someone to lead?" That, he could do. Permanently? Never. He planned for a short, very short, internship for this thing. Vincent wasn't the sort to settle down anytime, anywhere.
"I'll give you one year," he added, fingering Cerberus. "One year. If this Sora doesn't show up until then, you are on your own."

Riku was startled to hear the voice of his king and friend, Mickey. He smiled and bowed. Though they were friends, he still felt he needed to show Mickey respect. "I was wondering if you were gonna come. Can I ask what took you so long?" Then Riku heard what Vincent said and nodded with a smile.
"A year should be more than enough time. Thanks, Vincent. It means a lot."
((Sorry it's so short.... Star, did you get my PM?))

Riku spun around to Mickey. "What happened to Sora!?" he yelled. He knew that Sora was gone, but he never really thought about why and how. "Mickey? Why did he disappear? What happened?" Riku walked closer to Mickey. He wasn't trying to intimidate him. He doubted he could, but he still wanted to let him know that he NEEDED to be told.
((bah, sucky post))
