Notes: Continued from last week.

With the start of the new week, Namine was glad to see her appearance had returned to normal. It was a relief to look in the mirror and see the image she usually thought of as herself. Not that the change hadn't had its advantages; she'd enjoyed not having to use a stool to reach things in the supply cabinets as often as she usually did.

Still, she was back to her usual appearance and that made her a little happier. She went about her usual routine without having to worry about avoiding Cambots or a flying Pinkie Pie. At least one thing that hadn't changed was her and Riku's picture exchanges, and she found one waiting for her when she came back from the theatrical deck.

She smiled, mostly because she had trouble believing that Riku had ever been a poor student. It WOULD be nice to even things up like that, though unfortunately it wasn't that easy. She set to work on her response--really a response to his picture and a new message on one page. On one half, she and Riku each held a piece of paper that said "Math" and had what looked like equations. Riku's had been given an A, hers a C. On the other half was a picture of her looking in the mirror, her reflection matching her appearance once again.

Riku cocked his head a little at Namine's picture, hoping he'd interpreted it right. He then went to work, placing a piece of paper next to the Utahraptor tooth he'd accidently brought back with him. Riku's reply was a little late, but it still got to her in the early evening. It was drawn on some of his own recycled paper, though it was a plain white. It seemed he'd kept some for himself.

It was a picture of himself with Way to the Dawn over his shoulder and a dark firaga-ball hovering in his hand. He's smirking and it looks like the wind is blowing his hair back. It didn't look like he'd spent as much time on drawing himself as he had drawing pictures of Namine in the past, but it was obvious he tried to make himself look good. There was a little arrow pointing to Way to the Dawn. Next to it was written "YES!"

Namine smiled at what she took to be a confirmation of her thoughts. Riku had been able to use his keyblade and magic. It was good to know that whatever kept them from using their abilities here was restricted to the satellite--though he'd confirmed that on Cambot.

She used a piece of blue recycled paper for her reply. It was a before-and-after picture, with him, Sora, and the others who had said they would be interested walking into the time machine in the section indicating "before". The "after" section showed her in the otherwise empty time machine room, waiting for them to come back.

Sorry this took so long... New week thread?

When Riku returned It was a few days before a reply came, but with it came two pictures, one on the front of an envelope. All of them were strangely devoid of the color red. There were three pictures on the paper, though some of the depicted figures were barely more than stick figures since there would then be a lot of people drawn very small. One showed what appeared to be people using their powers. There were two familiar forms drawn as stick figures, but easy to identify by hair color and their Keyblades. Another showed Riku and Link holding a birdlike dinosaur who looked rather scared. The last picture showed a long-necked dinosaur with a smile having pinned Riku to the ground.

The envelope had a picture of a feathered dinosaur that looked a lot like a bird with a long tail. It's plumage was mostly earth tones except for bright blue that ran down its spine and showed brilliantly on its tail. In fact, it looked like the one with Riku and Link. Inside, however, was a feather. While streaked with gray and white, the feather was primarily a bright sky blue.

Sounds good! Want to start one with his reply?

Once again, the response came just as Namine was getting worried. She knew Riku and the others could take care of themselves--especially with their powers intact--but that didn't keep her from worrying. Or feeling a bit odd when she realized that she could worry despite not having a heart, now that she thought about it.

Her response is a simple outline drawing on a piece of green recycled paper (must remember to avoid using red around Riku this week). It shows her greeting everyone once they've arrived back, and them telling her everything that happened. In the corner, there's a smaller picture of her holding the bird.

The feather gets tacked up on the wall alongside the picture it arrived with.
