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?

That makes two of us, then. [He ignores that smirk. He's seen it too many times to care, though granted they were mostly from corrupt nobles.]

I will be better once the man I and others once respected and trusted leaves. However, it seems to me that your visitor is much worse.

[A soft sigh.]

My apologies for not introducing myself earlier. I'm Flynn Scifo. [He nods in greeting.]

[Hey, it's one of his versions of a smile; cut him some slack.]

I could say the same for the memory of a demon.

[A faint shrug as he leans back against the covers, a little weary already from the debates between himself and said demon.]

It's alright. I'm Riku.

[He doesn't know that! Flynn frowns a little, concerned for him.]

A demon?

[The blond nods.]

A pleasure to meet you, Riku. ...If you need any help, I am more than willing to lend you a hand.

In a sense, yes.

[On that he's conquered and manipulated many a time, thus he isn't worried too much. ...Just of what it could reveal to those he cares about most should they lay a hand on him.]

Mm. Thanks.
