[He has to fly over the forest several times before he finds the place Riku is at, but once he does, he simply floats down to sit beside him, staring across the water.]
...I only met Ventus once but- he was a really cheerful guy. He had a lot of friends.
[Riku casually glances at the other behind a veil of fingers and silver hair, not bothering much to hide his eyes otherwise. Why bother when they'd find out, anyway?]
Yeah... Didn't know him as well as I could have, but... [He sighs.] ...Promise not to tell anyone else what I'm about to say?
[Action] Because I fucking can. :|oh_neku_dearFebruary 8 2011, 00:19:53 UTC
That depends on who you're talking about, now, doesn't it?
[Joshua's standing behind him a few feet away, having wandered into the forest dome for a change in scenery. He gives the other teen a contemplative look. He can sense that there's something not quite right with Riku, as if something feral is locked inside of him, but can't put a finger on what just yet.
The Composer did sense the fading of two extreme forces, something that's hard to miss, honestly. Judging by Riku's reaction, and the reactions he's seen over the network, Joshua can safely guess that the two forces were Ventus and that extremely negative person he'd seen in passing.]
[Action] Riku loves you forever, bro. :|limitless_landFebruary 8 2011, 00:43:01 UTC
[Riku blinks, glancing over his shoulder a moment before looking over the water again. He's locked that feral, foreign darkness deep within him, otherwise normal besides the obvious. Damn that currently gayass flamer.
And yes, one of them was Ventus. The other, however... had been the one who'd helped him gain some mastery of his own darkness again. Gotten it under his own control again... His friend, no matter what the others said about him.]
Good, J loves you, too. Else he'd never let you into his house. |Doh_neku_dearFebruary 8 2011, 00:54:50 UTC
Hard to miss the sudden disappearance of unnaturally pure light and darkness. Not to mention the network being abuzz by the ordeal.
[He's going to chill where he is, lilac irises no longer on Riku. Instead, he's watching the still lake like it's the most fascinating thing in the sea.]
heh... /clings to bro ; ;limitless_landFebruary 8 2011, 00:59:56 UTC
Yeah... No kidding.
[Not to mention he could sense sense their powers flaring then fading as they did so. Darkness faded away into light... so he had to think Vanitas fell to Ventus. Light always seemed to prevail like that.]
...Vanitas. He helped me regain control of myself when I was grappling with my own power.
[Normally, Tidus would have been jumpy and cheerful to be hearing Riku again. Really. He more than would be. Even knowing from Sora that Riku was there wasn't the same as seeing him for himself and talking to him. So, there was a broad grin to him at first- One that... quickly fell though.
[And if it were anyone else, Riku would have probably ignored it and just kept staring at the water. 'I remember everyone from the islands! They're my- They're my friends...' Hearing his voice caused Riku to lift his head, glancing at the screen a few feet away.] That face... Tidus?
[Well, he officially felt bad, but at least it wasn't as bad as before. Congrats, man. Not only would you be getting it easy for the crab-in-pants prank, but you got him to smirk ever so faintly.]
[The one and only, Riku. Sure, he looked a little different. Taller. His hair grown out just a little more. But generally still very Tidus. Quite a contrast to Riku himself, appearance-wise alone. But at the moment, that was just a fleeting thought. Something was more pressing. And he could understand that at least when it bit him in the ass like it was now.
And sweet, he could rule with not getting ribbed for earlier island antics? ...Smiling thinly. If just for old time's sake.]
Y-Yeah... No kidding. [Leaning slightly closer.] What's up?
[Yeah, he noticed. He'd briefly been back on the islands before coming here, but that was another story. At least judging from his comments, Tidus was from after the islands were restored; something that certainly made him feel just a little better- a reminder that his mistakes had been made right, or, at least some of them.
...Just until this all blows over, man. Just because you're getting off the hook now did not save you from what would happen in the future. Though, his gaze falls slightly as he takes the SFC in his hands, keeping it from revealing his eyes.]
A friend I made here... they were killed in a small conflict last night.

The icing on the cake. Danny's up in the air and flying over rooftops before he even switches his SFC over so he can talk.]
Hey, I'm coming to find you, alright?

[He glances over at the SFC, turning slightly to face it.]
Two people were killed last night.

I'm sorry.
[Not that it matters, but he had to ask.]
Were they friends?
Reply
[He pauses a moment, before tucking a strand of hair behind his ear- shit, revealed the pupils.]
The other was Sora's teacher.
