6th Dawn ✯ Realized phantoms and a lone heart [Video]

//UNLOCKED//
[The feed clicks on to show Riku, curled up in his bed and staring out at something, or perhaps someone off camera. He seems composed in the mask and fancy clothes, but underneath that he's as pale as the sheets on the bed he shares with Sora and Kairi.]

I tolerated the crap you gave us all on Halloween, but... this?

[He tenses, as though whatever's off camera just hit a sore spot in his heart.]

...Screw you, Vatheon. Screw. You.

Where's my blindfold when I need it...?

[The feed seems to click off...]

//LOCKED TO TERRA//
...I'm ready to begin. Not sure about you, but I could use the distraction right now.

//LOCKED TO ROXAS AND XION//
I heard about your friend... How are you two holding up?

//LOCKED TO VANITAS//
... Probably would be good to take a break from practicing wielding the darkness until this stupid illusion fades, too. Did Xehanort always pontificate at length back then?

Uh... so... they've done this-- weird-- ghost-thing before?

[voice]

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

Not the ghost part, but the fancy clothes and masks they have.

Last time it was missing memories.

Re: [voice]

[meat-gum.livejournal.com]

...Ooooh so that's where the clothes came from.

Missing memories? That's... I dunno, that's probably worse.

[voice]

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[A pause.] ...Depends on who it is you're seeing, I suppose.

Re: [voice]

[meat-gum.livejournal.com]

...I guess it'd kinda depend on whether you knew you were forgetting something, too, huh?

[voice]

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it probably would. And what it is you forgot when the memories return.

Re: [voice]

[meat-gum.livejournal.com]

Yeah... There are some things I'd be really scared to forget.

Re: [voice]

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

[There's a faint sound of acknowledgment.]

...I don't believe we've met.

Re: [voice]

[meat-gum.livejournal.com]

Oh uh... yeah, I guess not. I'm Chie.

[voice]

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

Riku. Nice to meet you.

[Oh hey, a rhyme.]

Re: [voice]

[meat-gum.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you too, Riku.

[lol nice. Also Chie's grin...is uncannily Sora-ish. Mun thinks Sora's Holiday Cheer is too infectious. Like a disease or something.]

[voice]

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

[But since it's just voice, he cannot see it. Though Mun has to agree about the Holiday Cheer bit. :|]

[A faint chuckle's heard, though. Probably because the tone's familiar.]
