[Things have been pretty stressful recently, between his argument with Xion, Vanitas' surprise attack on Axel, and the impending possibility that he could strike again. Fortunately, with Sora's return to Luceti, Riku's feeling a bit better today, and he'll be spending the evening out and about. Aqua's still kidnapped, which means he'll have to work

[poppetry]

[ there's a poppet in the doorway of the clothes shop.

she sees that head of silver hair by the fountain, and she knows who it is. and there are such ... mixed feelings. things are better -- Sora's here, the house is safe -- but they're not all fixed yet. Roxas still, still hasn't come home, and it's killing her. Vanitas is an ever present threat in his own right.

and of course ... there's this. him. the issue that is Riku.

after talking to Sanji, she knows what she has to do. but that doesn't mean she wants to do it, or that she's happy about it.

still... if she doesn't do it now, she won't until it's too late to save anything, even a friendship. gathering up her courage, she'll move over to him, expression rather somber. ]

Hey.

[stilldontgotit]

[Unfortunately, Riku's quite clueless about what's going on, and while he's a bit wary around Xion, he doesn't suspect what's going to happen.

As such, he'll turn to face her, looking cool and collected.]

Hey.

[action]

[poppetry]

[ ........... augh this is going to suck. really, really hard. somewhat reflexively she smiles, a deeply crooked thing. ]

... listen ... I need to talk to you about something.

[action]

[stilldontgotit]

[Hm, that's odd. Well, it can't be anything too bad.]

Oh yeah? Well, go ahead. I'm listening.

[lists_to_port]

Oi, Riku, lad--------"Blue Rogues"---weren't it their ship what I hijacked a few weeks past?

[voice]

[stilldontgotit]

Pretty sure it was, Jack. Not that I'm surprised. You are a pirate, after all.

[lists_to_port]

Once it thaws and the ice breaks up a bit, I'll have her again. Care to join?

[voice]

[stilldontgotit]

I don't know. Might be considered mutiny if I played along.

[He laughs.]

But it does sound like fun. Haven't gotten a chance to see the ocean yet.

[sortabeautiful]

[ 'sup riku? this is a (shocking of shocking) fully clothed Jacob dropping down next to you. ]

Hey.

[ action ]

[stilldontgotit]

Hey, Jacob.

[Fully dressed? Well, that's a shocker! He'll go ahead and stand up, though. 'sup, bro?]

[ action ]

[sortabeautiful]

People watching?

[ action ]

[stilldontgotit]

Just out for some fresh air.

[He shrugs. Things have been stressful, so it's nice to get out.]

[1week_wizard]

They exist as elements of magic in my own world. "Ko" and "Yami", as they are called by the Japanese.

[stilldontgotit]

So they're just elements in your world?

[1week_wizard]

They are many things. Magical elements, metaphorical concepts, literal concepts, whatehaveyou.

[stilldontgotit]

Sounds about right. So, is dark magic pretty strong?

[personafalsify]

[ ... Hey Real Thing. Sup.

Is he allowed to kill you yet 8| ]

[stilldontgotit]

[Oh, it's you. Riku looks up from the journal briefly, then looks back and flips a page.]

[personafalsify]

[ Rep bristles and moves closer. Don't go ignoring him. He can fireball your face now, don't just brush him off gdit. ]

[stilldontgotit]

You want something?

[Because right now he's trying to chill.]
