First ★ [Voice/Action]

[What am I supposed to do now?

He doesn't know when his perpetual black faded into sleep, nor when he fell back on his bed--or when he got soaked for that matter. What he did know was that when he awakened... he was soaked, and could smell saltwater. Not to mention he was on the ground somewhere.]
What...?

[Riku opens his eyes beneath the blindfold, regretting it a moment when the salt water began to make them sting. What he can subtly make out behind the cloth was that he was in a city of sorts, a few Hearts and shadow figures-meaning whole individuals-passing by... and was that a coral split into two? He shook his head, getting to his feet. Maybe it was time to get some answers, as well as dry off.

His hand immediately finds the SFC and after studying it along with drying off/out his blindfold and himself to the best of his ability if the towel over his head is anything to go by... he decides to make his presence known. The feed clicks.]


...Vatheon, huh. I don't suppose anyone would have any ideas as to why we are in the first place?

[Of course, the local who gave him a towel and a hair dryer for his blindfold had said nothing about why he was here. Rather, they changed the subject rather quickly. It irritated him, yes, but maybe someone else had the answers he desired.

Anyone wandering the plaza could quite well find him donning the black coat synonymous with the Organization and eyes hidden by a black blindfold to match, leaning against the wall of one of the many stores, examining the SFC and its functions as he gained his bearings.]

[It's a lot to handle all at once, that's for sure. He can't collapse, not yet. With this shadow still in his heart... he's almost afraid it would take the advantage of the momentary weakness, even it's nothing but a faint remnant. Also, he wouldn't mind the help at first... even if a little begrudging.

Another wave of disbelief, but when adding the facts together it all... seemingly added up. Everyone he spoke to said Sora awakened, that things were alright between them, then and while he still didn't know what to make of this kid...

Darkness that turns to light.] ...The road to dawn. [And... his voice cracked a bit at the end as he clung to his connection to Kairi. Maybe she'd sense it, wherever she was in this bubble.]

You see? Twilight isn't where you walk. It may be a grey area, but it's not the one of light turning to darkness. The path will be long and hard, but you've got the strength and stubbornness to get through it.

[The teen pauses for a moment.]

I've no reason to lie to you about this. There's nothing to gain from withholding this kind of information.

Perhaps you should sit down a moment.

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-04-03 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
[He's already leaning against the wall, for starters. Strength and stubbornness... heh. If he really believed that before, he wouldn't have ever been in this state in the first place. He realized it, yes, but it still would be a long time before his heart is completely healed.

But yes, kind of sliding down on his own accord and into a sitting position. Relief from the hell he's been trapped in, all of it... was a bit much at once.]

I know a few people who would... [It's a little bitter, like a would that never completely healed. But still, if this was what it was like to know at least some hope again, he'd do whatever it took to make it come true. A faint smirk crossed his lips.] You don't seem like the type to build up false hope, though.

[identity profile] oh-neku-dear.livejournal.com 2011-04-03 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Joshua simply stands next to him (the ground's dirty, okay). He shrugs.]

Fair enough. Whether you believe or trust me is all up to you. [A lazy, casual smirk is returned.] I find giving someone a false hope too boring and petty.

Gonna be alright there, Riku?

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-04-04 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Heh... Was that minute concern he detected? (Like he minds getting this coat dirty.) He glances up, nodding.]

...It's a lot to take in all at once.

[identity profile] oh-neku-dear.livejournal.com 2011-04-04 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Riku's imagining things,which really means yes. (Joshua minds very much)]

Understandable, all things considered.

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-04-05 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Sure, he is. Ha ha, I knew it. Joshua has a soft spot~] Yeah...

[And... distraction time. Now that he's had that revelation and due to the fact he hasn't eaten recently, his stomach growls. What? There's little to be had while world hopping.]

[identity profile] oh-neku-dear.livejournal.com 2011-04-05 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Have a giggle, Riku. He did hear the growl. So silly, Riku.]

There's a nice restaurant nearby, if you're interested.

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-04-06 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, yeah. We know the drill. He looks up, a bit of his younger self showing through with a slightly sheepish look.]

...I might be. [Just give him a moment to stand. Sigh.]

Been replaying KH one, and I'm already up to Maleficent. XD;

[identity profile] oh-neku-dear.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Awww. Too bad this is the "I'm miffed at you for leaving and stuff" thread or he'd--well, even if it wasn't, he probably still wouldn't offer help.]

Wonderful. That brings me to the other odd, but pleasant, aspect of this city. Most everything around here is free. The only exception is Nostalgia Nook.

[And Joshua will lead the way to the restaurant once Riku's able to stand.]

haha, I'm at the second visit to Hollow Bastion. XD;

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
...That's a little peculiar.

[And now he's able to stand; albeit a little shaky at first. Lead the way, bro.]

...Shut up. XD; /forever uses Oathkeeper as my weapon

[identity profile] oh-neku-dear.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Less work for us. I'm sure the conversions would be spectacular.

[Well, then hurry uuuuup!]

Nevar~ /switches to Oblivion after obtaining it

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose. [And hey, he's keeping up!]

/currently in a little hidey hole, letting the others take care of the dragon until the fireballs

[identity profile] oh-neku-dear.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
It seems like too much work figuring out how much this city's currency is worth to those from different worlds. [Joshua shrugs nonchalantly.] Hope you like Italian, by the way.

/USE TINKERBELL. SHE KICKS- HEALS YOUR ASS IN THAT FIGHT LIKE A BOSS

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
There's always that, though I've never had much of a problem with it. [He shrugs back.]

...I certainly don't mind it.

/SPAMS TINK LIKE A FUCKING PRO, MAN 8D BEST SUMMON EVER.

[identity profile] oh-neku-dear.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps it's just me. [And being lazy. Details!]

Perfect. Here we are. [Welcome to a very fancy, very expensive Italian restaurant, Riku. Is it obvious he's taking advantage of this whole free-of-charge business?]

/THAT SHE IS 8D

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps... Though I've met a few who'd say otherwise. [Read: Sora and Kairi. 8|

And... holy crap, bro. It is extremely obvious you're taking advantage of it.]

/sob, I hate expert mode for those stupid gummi ships orz

[identity profile] oh-neku-dear.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Something wrong? [Totally amused by Riku's speechlessness. At least it's an occasional thing to dine fancily for Josh. Food's food, and he likes the good stuff.

And he's going to waltz on inside. For Riku's stomach!]

/proud mode on Final Mix. Deal the Expert damage, get dealt Critical back @@

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-04-07 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
No. [It's not speechlessness, just... a short moment of wtf.

Sigh. He'll follow.]

/and now playing KH II for my fic! :D /will never do fucking Proud Mode

[identity profile] oh-neku-dear.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, if he remembered Joshua, he'd expect it. :|]

Booth or table? [Obviously non-smoking.]

/haha, Critical is fun. c:

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
[True, but it's not his fault his mun is a bitch. :|]

Either is fine. [He silently thanks you for saving his nose. Want to know a little surprise, Joshua? He's actually nicely dressed under the just dried leather coat.]

/B|

[identity profile] oh-neku-dear.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, for today, it's totally your fault, Riku, that your mun is a lovely person lol. c:]

Booth it is. [Anytime, bro. He's not a fashion disaster this time? Joshua will raid his wardrobe someday.

And they get a booth for two along with menus. The teen idly looks through his. Ehhhh, he'll probably go with the chicken. Pasta's too messy.]


Perhaps you can enlighten me as to what time you're from. The last time you were here, you were obviously from the future. You didn't reveal much about your past, but there were a few things I figured out for myself.

[Page turn. Oh, look at those wines. Too bad he looks underage.]

ILU? 83

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-04-09 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Stubborn little... B|

Nope. Unlike what Demyx tried to pull. Silver pants and a Hawaiian shirt? There were not enough facepalms to cover that. And fff. His closet, bro. Other than some fancy clothes it's probably filled with these coats thanks to the soon need to hide from Ansem; ffffff.

He has to lift the blindfold to read unfortunately, and heh. He's looking at the same thing, actually. Who would want to get covered in sauce? Though that question...]


I don't know how much Sora told you about his; it's his story to tell, but mine intertwines... [He pauses, going over in his mind all the events that had transpired since he last saw the boy awake, shaking his head.]

I'm from a time in which he is resting in peace, leaving me all the work to make sure the worlds are protected. The lazy bum... [Was that a wry smirk? You bet.]

...ILU2 :P

[identity profile] oh-neku-dear.livejournal.com 2011-04-09 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[:D

This just makes him want to raid that closet of Riku's and replace most of those coats with something better.

He'll probably have creme brulee for dessert. Hmm, choices choices!]


He hasn't said much about it. Likely because I never asked. [Joshua hums at the last remark.]

Oh, dear, sounds like you've got your hands full. [Aw, how cute!] How's that working out for you so far?

Y U DO DIS? :|

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-04-09 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don't even think about it, Joshua.

Hm... He'll probably just stick to a cappuccino after since he stopped drinking after seeing Xion's face.]


I suppose. [He merely shrugs.] I'll admit it's different, but nothing too rough.

[Bullshit. It's been hell for him being separated from his friends.]
