Maleficent's robes make a soft swishing sound as she takes Kairi and Riku down a long hallway; it's familiar to Riku, who has been here before. As is his room, when they reach it. It's well-furnished, if you don't mind the wall of bars along one side to prove it's really a glorified cell.
ooc: From
here, Maleficent took Kairi and Riku with her. She couldn't see entirely into the room, just what was in the mirror's view, so she didn't actually see Ri laying on the floor like a limp noodle. Before she closed the door through the mirror, the inner walls of her castle [in Radiant Garden] can be seen. Sora-in-Roxas may recognize it before anyone else does? Unless it's one of the memories Axel saw of Riku's. From the outside, Maleficent will have put up a forest of thorns through the valley [the ones with red thorns poisonous, because she didn't like how quickly Phillip had chopped through them] and put up a ward against portaling. She's so not making it easy. You guys'll have to get through the imp patrols, which can be lazy, but if you get their attention you'll be swarmed with them and Heartless both. She plans on using Kairi and her innocence to draw out the other Princesses from their worlds, starting with Aurora, because she's still pissed about that one. If you've got any more ideas, chuck em at me?
...boss battle ahoy?
