Sixth ★ [Video]

[When the feed flickers on the view is shaky at best. At least, until the SFC is gently placed down on a stable surface. What had once been dark and gloomy was now filled with saddened light, if the costume change was any indication, because two separate things happened during the night.]

[Riku pulled a complete one-eighty; his second class being a sort of white knight- a Paladin. It seemed almost ironic, seeing as-]

...For those that knew her, I thought you should know..... [He pauses, hiding his face from view with the exception of a frown crossing his lips. ...To think he'd been so amused only a couple days ago.] ...Kairi returned home last night.

[As a light disappeared overnight.]

[Riku gives a heavy sigh, pulling himself together for just a while longer. First Sora came, but now their other friend was gone? The one who'd accepted that he still had a long way to go? It stung more than he could say, and it was just too much to take at once.]

Naminé, Caden- She left something for you.

[...The feed ends. Now he has to go calm down. But before it fades out completely, there's a slight change to his stats:

limitless_land | Level 22
Class: Dark Knight/Paladin
HP: 80% | MP: 20%

...Someone's obviously taken some frustration and other negative emotions out on the quests and pirates.]

[..He doesn't respond at all, instead just... wandering the city for a while as he thought and tried to clear his mind. Yet every time he tried, the memory of that one conversation they had kept coming to the forefront.

'I feel like the blindfold is keeping something in you away...'

Why was it that part that kept coming back?

Of course, it's not even half an hour before he finds himself at said lake. He just... sits at the edge, to where his feet are just barely getting dampened by the water.] ...Hey.

[Told you he wouldn't let Axel dump you into a fountain.]

_{[Of course by the time Riku arrives, Demyx is sprawled out on his back across a broken tree hanging halfway into the water, various pieces of jewelry and coins scattered across his belly which he's currently sorting out. Golds, silvers, and copper each have their own little piles while junk is being dropped onto the ground. It's amazing what people lose in the water.]}

Sixteen, seventeen--hey, dude--eighteen...

_{[A quiet scoff and he pushes everything into a brown satchel and slings it over his shoulder, moving to prop himself up on his elbows to shoot a small grin towards Riku.]}

You look pretty blue.

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

[It really is, but hey. It isn't like he's the type to keep jewelry just one gold locket no one know about okay? Okay.]

Funny. I was thinking a shade of yellow.

[Yeah, that was a half-assed attempt to bluff, but he ends up shrugging it off.]

...It's been a long day.

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it.

_{[Sitting up and patting the spot next to him on the log.]}

C'mere 'n talk, dude. I've got a good pair of ears.

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

...Alright.

[He gets to his feet again, before walking over and eventually sitting down. Demyx does owe him one, but-]

I just... never got to say thanks. Kairi did pull me out of the emo corner, after all.

[...This is just so weird.]

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

_{[Consider it a freebie.]}

Emo corner, huh? Well, I say she did a pretty good job of it considerin' how glum you were when you showed up here. ...Again, I mean. It's kinda nice to have a pal back.

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

[Orly-?

And it's still a little weird, man - your friends/coworkers did try killing him repeatedly.] A pal, huh.

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

_{[Hey hey hey, he was beat up because said coworkers thought he was you.]}

Yeah.

[limitless-land.livejournal.com]

[...Yeah, sorry about that. The hood kind of makes it difficult at times, huh.]

Well, it's good to be back.
