[What do you get when you pluck someone from the only world they've ever known, put them in a completely different one, and give them technology they've never even heard of?

You get this video post. Which starts off mostly by accident, as this kid managed to get to the recording program through a combination of guessing and pure luck. It might be amusing, though, that he's holding the Gear too close to his face when it starts.]

--and this better be the right one. The light came on...

[A pause, and some movement, then the face goes away to show more of the kid, a teenager wearing an odd assortment of clothing--what looks like the top half of a jogging suit over some sort of puffy pants. Behind him are what look like tree branches.]

Hey, whoever's watching this, I've got some questions. I want to know what this world is, who stuck me here, and why I'm here. If this is some Nobody's idea of a joke, it's not funny, and you're going down when I find you.

[A pause.]

And what's this white stuff everywhere? It's cold!

[The first thing the Replica will see is the face of one very dense Feraligatr staring at the camera. Poking the screen. Whining...

Please don't mind the wreath around his neck. In the background...]

Jaws, what the heck are you doing? Give me that.

[And, surprise! Riku turns the 'Gear towards himself, squints, and replays the feed...

There's a brief glimpse of his eyes widening before the 'Gear clatters to the ground. Give him a second...]

You...

[He scoops it back up.]

Just... who are you?

...Why do you look exactly like Foofyku?

I know you aren't, but you look like him! Are you guys the world of super confusing things!?

It's called snow. Never encounter it before? [What's this, what's this? It's Sora's face!! With black hair and gold eyes. Then again, that face the other is wearing... kind of has to prompt the question.]

Who are you?

[...dafuq?]

Riku?

[Son of a bitch, do not tell him Riku left and he missed it. That would just be the icing on top of the shitty cake that is this month so far.]

How did Riku get in two different places?

[He jumps at the sudden Pokemon staring at him. Unsure of what to do, he stammers a few sounds, attempting to figure out why it's attempting to poke him and whining.

The background voice makes him frown, and the familiar face confirms his suspicions.

But something's off.]

I...wait, what? Who am I? What kind of stupid question is that?

It's not me. I don't know who he is, but it isn't.

[Sigh. Probably not his data copy, either. Will this craziness ever end?]

Stupid? Right, because seeing what looks like a younger version of me and asking about it is stupid.

[Eyeroll. And, heh, he'll fold his arms for good measure.]

Not my fault I'm behind on the times. I've only ever seen one guy who looked like me, and he usually wore a black coat.

[Wtf, Sora. What did you do to yourself? Repliku is staring at his Gear curiously, though that curiosity is tinged slightly with annoyance.]

If I had, I wouldn't be asking. As for who I am...who's asking?

Foofyku...?

[He's kinda hoping that she's not referring to the person he thinks she's referring to.]

Sora?

[This keeps getting more confusing by the minute!]

Of course it is. Did Namine get you too or something? You can't have forgotten me that quickly otherwise!

[A matching eyeroll.]

The only ones who wear the black coats are the Organization, and I'm not one of them.

Look, I've been here for almost three years, and can't remember someone I've never met. It's a time thing.

[He shrugs.]

And you try telling that to the data version of me. I'm pretty sure he wasn't part of the Organization.

Riku! Foofy silver hair, like yours. Deep turquoise eyes, kinda like yours. But not exactly...

Anyway, who are you and why do you look like him. Why do a lot of you look like a lot of other of you.

You guys are confusing!

[Hey you, don't jack his video feed. That's rude.]

There's your answer. I'm not him.

Well... Yeah? Who else would I -

You know? Don't answer that.

[ groans. what a silly thing to almost say. ]

...What?

I'm supposed to look like him.

So that's why you look different.

[This is hard to wrap his head around. He's quiet for a few seconds, considering this turn of events. His Nidoran takes the opportunity to poke it's head into the video before Repliku picks it up and plunks it in his lap.]

How many replicas are there of you?

...You seriously got a Nidoran as your starter.

[Yeah, just give him a second to stare at the little guy before rubbing at his temple.]

And as for replicas... hey, beats me. Just learning I had one copy was shocking enough.

I didn't expect to see you again...

[Because Namine and things and yeah.]

See me again?

[ oh this is going to hurt some hearts, isn't it? ]

Why do you look like him!? Shouldn't you look like you, or does he look like you?

Do you all come in pairs, cause that one kid mentioned that other blond, and there are the two with spiky hair!

...he ponies make more sense...

[The only response for almost a minute is Repliku staring at the camera with a look of confusion, and some wind in the background.]

No, I look like him. I was made to look like him.

I don't know what other people you're talking about.

...Okay, why were you made to look like him. Why were you made at all, that doesn't even make sense!

And tell me you have a name that isn't Riku, because there are already too many. I don't care if they are spelled differently.

[ Did he hit his head or something? She's only spoken to Riku once or twice, but this earns a startled response, even if she's technically still chilling in her room getting over being ill. ]

Riku? You mean the snow?
