[12 - Voice/Action] Backdated to July, 16th

[justabignobody]

[The eclipse has passed - the most unusual thing during that time being the strange city wide smell of roses - things have gone back to normal and Riku is glad about it.]

Looks like it was nothing after all…

[He still feels memories linger though, of the day the Islands were swallowed and of facing that particular memory later on in Castle

Um...I was thinking about having a party for him. What do you think? Can you think of some people who would help us?

I’m sure he’d be thrilled about that.

[Riku nods to himself, frowning a little as he thinks.]

Shiki will help. Rapunzel most likely too. …Probably quite a few other people as well. Sora’s made quite a few friends around here.

[She can probably hear the shrug in his voice - Riku may have become a little more careful about monitoring who Sora befriends with exactly since the thing with Vanitas …which he will not bring up, because this totally fall into things-that-Kairi-does-not-need-to-know-about, but he doesn’t exactly make an effort to get to know them all. >.>;;;]

I talked to Rapunzel when I got here the other day. Maybe I should ask everyone and see what they think too?

[Friend monitor for the bitty...]

[justabignobody]

Yeah. There are probably some more people who'll want to help as well.

[What? >.>;]

[seasalt_sunset]

I was...worried.

This is much much nicer, Riku. [At least compared to the alternative of...nothing. There's still the tiniest twang of sadness in her voice. Things are still so weird between everyone.]

[justabignobody]

Me too.

[He can admit that much - it had probably been obvious to anyone who knows him a little closer anyways. He can’t help but feel a pang of sadness himself at that in her voice - Xion had been chosen for perhaps the worsted fate there is and deserves it the least. Being forgotten by all that have ever known you, by all that have ever cared about you… Riku is not quite sure if he could bear that knowledge, if it had been him. That is why he is glad to see her here again, where perhaps she has at least a little bit more time to make a life for herself.]

It is usually more like this around here.

[seasalt_sunset]

It reminds me a little bit of Twilight Town. Everything is so...stationary. Peaceful.

[It takes a moment for her to speak up again.] Hey, Riku? Can I ask you something?

[justabignobody]

Mhm. [He has never thought about comparing Splendor and Twilight Town, but now that she mentions it...]

Of course. What is it?

[spazalot]

[There's a teasing edge to her voice.]

Geez. You had me worried over nothing.

[justabignobody]

It could have been something.

[...There may or may not be a slightly sulky sounding grumble in his.]

video.

[spazalot]

[That tone makes her giggle a little. Oh Riku.]

I know, Riku. It's a good thing that it was nothing, right?

video.

[justabignobody]

[He smiles, feeling a little warm at hearing her laugh. Then he thinks of the strange tail he had picked up during the eclipse... He sobers a little at that.]

Yeah... it is.

Voice

[chainedpromises]

[She let out a small sigh.]

Well at least you're okay.

Voice

[justabignobody]

I promised, I would be.

[So yeah, there is no reason to worry about him.]

Voice

[chainedpromises]

I know, but that didn't stop me from worrying about you.

Voice

[justabignobody]

[Sigh.]

It never stops any of you, does it?

[voice]

[nisenosonzai]

About time someone turned on the lights...

[Yep, he is mocking you.]

[voice]

[justabignobody]

Hm. Wouldn't want you to stumble into any more fountains.

[voice]

[nisenosonzai]

...It was just one time.

[voice]

[justabignobody]

...Really?

[Because it kind of seems that you are way clumsier than he is. Is he mocking you? Weeeeell...]
