I like the dark Riki too. I always figured there was something sinister behind those cute looks

That was...creepy...but I actually enjoyed this version of Riki better than your usual one, even if the personality you gave him fits like a glove! You should try writing one based on this Riki! A darker version (obviously) of his normal tale or something. I would certainly read it, and it might attract some other readers.

I bid you farewell! Adieu!

I'm not sure I'm such a huge fan of Riki but I AM a huge fan of YOUR Riki.

Interesting. I realize it's just an experiment (and totally am okay with you writing a super short little piece to raise your SaGa story count). It works out perfectly well; I was adequately confused until the end, which I am sure was the point. REALLY short (I mean like 100 words short-particularly really short and somewhat sad/disturbing) isn't necessarily my cup of tea, but I don't see anything wrong with this. I just wonder how Riki got to be so...sinister.
