limitless_land | 9th Dawn ✯ This will make you ultranumb... [Action/Voice/what have you. T^T]

[The buzz from Christmas was still there, but it had begun wearing off fast when there was one particular presence missing from the bed. When he awoke, realizing that the presence was still gone... the first thing he did was pull out the SFC from the bedside drawer to scroll through the names. In doing so, he found a note on top of it.]

[Xion was gone.]

[...Xion... He held his breath, reading that message. Thanking him? ...He didn't deserve her thanks, not with what he later did to her best friend. It's hard to remember even her name now, huh. ...No, he wouldn't forget; never again.]

[After a moment to compose himself, he went ahead with his original plan. Riku scrolled through the list, searching for Kairi's name not just once, not twice, but a total of six times. Nothing...]

[Just like Xion, one of his closest friends was gone, too. In a dazed state he sat up and closed the drawer; hearing a bit of resistance since his eyes were closed to keep back any moisture. ... Opening his eyes, he checked the drawer again to see what was keeping it from closing: two presents small enough to fit in the palm of his hand, one addressed to him and Sora each.]

[...He decided that it would be best to open his in the living room, since Sora was still asleep. ...Lazybones. T^T]

[Riku took a piece of paper with him, writing a small letter to Kairi. Whether he'd be able to give it to her or not if she ever returned or not, he didn't know, but it was better than nothing.]

Kairi,

I never got to properly thank you, for all that you've done here. Don't know if you'll remember or not by the time you read this, but...

Thank you. For being there when I needed you most- when the darkness was so close to my heart that it was becoming hard to see the truth right there before my eyes. When I let it control me again, before I met another friend who's helping me learn to keep it in line.

...And I'm sorry for being weak- for not saying what I should have while you were here. I-

[-I love you, and Sora both. The only family I have left... is never written. Instead, he clutched the good luck charm Kairi had meant to give him on Christmas and that unfinished letter close as he broke down in tears.]

Nah. Sticking my head into a portal that leads to this random chick's room is harsh. Especially when she was changing.

_{[A sheepish grin.]}

I had it coming.

[...One more moment, not just laughing- having a laughing fit.]

Yeah, have to agree with that. Though, what did you do for THAT one?

I poked fun at him, he shoves me off the roof, I saved my hide with a portal and tackled him then we kinda rolled around until he got me into a headlock.

_{[WHY YOU LAUGH BRO.]}

[A chuckle.] I see... Sounds like the tussles me and Sora used to get into on the islands. Minus the portals, anyway.

We'd tackle each other into the sea, though.

[BECAUSE THE MENTAL IMAGE IS HILARIOUS.]

_{[That gets some staring.]}

You guys are weird.

_{[A HEALTHY YOUNG GUY GETTING OWNED BY AN OLD MAN?]}

What, and pushing people off roofs isn't?

At least the water was there to swim in.

[How do you think they learned how to swim? :| Unattentive parents, man.]

[~~WELL, WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY...~~ No, I just don't know Xigbar at all. Just that he had an eye keen on sniping my best friend. orz]

You're talking to a guy who has to wash muddy footprints off the ceiling, dude.

That's always a plus.

_{[Ha ha learning how to swim is for squares--Oh. Right. Non-Atlantian.

OH HON HON HON. It's in his nature?]}

Have fun with that.

And yeah; fun times on an island with unattentive parents. Always a plus.

[NO STRANGER DANGER. HE WAS SCREWED FROM THE BEGINNING.

And yep; non-Atlantean. 'Least he was pretty good at not drowning when little.

~~U KNOW IT FUNNY, MAN.~~ ...True]

Yeah? My definition of 'fun times' when I was a kid was hiding out from the sharks that kept pestering my dad until I was sent off to live with one of his buddies. Turns out he still owed some stuff so they were bugging me for it.

_{[He lifts a leg up to prod the fabric covering his shin.]}

They don't really play nice, y'know?

[He sees them scars, man. Ooh, ouch.]

From Atlantica, huh. [He never knew.] Play sword fights, exploring the play island, the occasional crab in pants joke...

[Still hasn't forgiven Tidus for that; nope~]

_{[It didn't look too bad on his old body, surprisingly.]}

Yup. I wasn't born there--I was from a different ocean but I was sent off there when I was two or three. _{[He grins faintly.]} Jellyfish for me 'n my group.

[Yeah, he'll bet.]

I see... [He smirks back.] Been there, done that. Man, those things hurt.

...What is it with our groups liking to make practical jokes that cause bodily harm?

Eh, you kinda grow immune to 'em after awhile. ...At least the ones we used to throw at each other.

Less bodily harm than my current friends inflict, thankfully.

... I'm just glad they weren't box jellyfish, personally.

This... is a good point.

Eh, they'd get us back anyways. You ever wake up with fifty jellyfish swimming into your room through your window and accidentally bump into them in the middle of the night? It's like a bad car wreck on a freeway.

You learn to love 'em, 'cause we couldn't really kill each other. Bodily harm, sure. Death? Nope. Our numbers were limited the way it was.

No, but I have had a flock of angry seagulls. ...Someone hid their eggs in my closet. It was a mess after.

...I suppose a couple overlooked that, then? [Sneeze, Axel and Marluxia. He dares you.]

Edited 2011-01-18 17:37 (UTC)

Harsh, dude.

Eh? _{[Dude, you're cray-cray.]}

Mm. A bit.

...Axel and Marluxia, Demyx.

Could've been worse, at least.

_{[He goes silent for a few seconds.]}

...There's more to it than you know. Marluxia was a traitor. Axel... He's... I dunno.

Could have, yeah.

[He tilts his head to the side.]

Never figured him out, I'm guessing?
