Sixteenth ✰ [Accidental Video]

['sup Vatheon. You know how miracles generally happen about this time of year? Well, another just so happens to be happening right now, brought to you live by a sneaky little kitten who ninja'd his way out of the second story window and into a familiar forest. Well, at the edge of the wooded area, anyway. Just behind a bench, too.

At first all that's seen is a black glove, a finger in it twitching slightly as the first few signs of awareness before the hand clenches into a fist. The kitten mewls, white face nudging the hand gengerly. Who cares if it's damp, he missed his pet.

There's a bit of a sputtering cough, like some of the water dripped down his throat, as he wakes up, beginning to sit up. The silver hair and black cloth should be telltale signs of who it is as the Turkish Angora sits there, all pleased and proud. Yet something is different about the familiar figure, something off. To the outsider, he probably just looks disoriented and confused. The outsider has the latter part correct, at least. The other, however, is shock.]

How-? [His own jaw dropped. Riku remembers, vaguely at first, as pieces come back bit by bit. It's surprising, really, to suddenly awaken here after such a bright light, sensing Sora vaguely begin to run toward him as he lay on the ground... to a kitten he would be mowed over by an old friend if he didn't recognize.]


Kiryu? [A beat.] If you're here, then that means... [His face points at the camera...and before he can say anything embarrassing, his hand covers the SFC and it shuts off-

...Was that a Christmas bow tied to his hair and blindfold?

...That was a Christmas bow tied to his hair and blindfold. Har har, powers that be. Har. Har.]

[Even noticing that doesn't quite do enough to calm his worries, ok? But the fear's soon replaced by a look of scathing anger - and ego/prides that's still more than a bit bruised.

Also, the chuckle? Very lucky this is not in person, yet, or Silver who have a fist to your face. Either way, he's making his way through the forest.
] ... I would say that it was more than 'a few extra shadows', Riku.

Eyes don't just change colour, either, idiot.

[It isn't really because of his reaction, but because he's just so glad that it's seemingly over so far as the fight within is concerned. Yet there is something that keeps him from outright laughing. Riku sobers up, but doesn't spill anything more than:]

They do when you've been fighting a possessive/oppressive power for over a year, wise guy.

[... Shouldn't have phrased it that way, Riku, as Silver is thinking this over. No blindfold, no dark aura, no amber eyes and no double voice....

And Riku just said that he was fighting it (Stupid, if you asked Silver. Who'd be stupid enough to fight such a power)...

Still, he needs a bit more information--
] And this means what, exactly

[Please note, Silver is not that far away, but still on Vid - He's only heading over to make sure his assumptions that Riku is a weakling are correct before he tries to goad Riku. He does not want any nasty surprises.]

[Too bad; he loves to be vague like that. It keeps opponents guessing, but in this case? He'll let something else slip.]

It means the powers are mine, but the other force is gone completely.

[It's said in a matter-of-fact tone, the feed crackling just a bit as the kitten jumps out of his arms. In the other, free hand that isn't holding the SFC? The familiar dark flames spring forth in an orb hovering just inside his palm, not scalding him at all. Try and goad him if you want, but he certainly isn't weak. In fact, he's even stronger for conquering and being... purified, if you want to put it in other terms.

In other words, guess which other power he's gained while he was away, even if it's as vague as his answers?]

[Vague is annoying. Never mind that he does it sometimes in canon himself. Though he's often just blunt and mean :|

Though that dark flame? Has him freezing mid-step. He's close enough to see it through the trees and not just over the SFC - and there is the unmistakable look of 'oh shit' on his face.
] Fuck.

[And then it' gone, Silver linefacing as much as he can try and cover his own weakness.] Hmph. That's all you can do then? Seems like you pulled the short end of the stick and got weaker.

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-12-25 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Deal with it, you little snot. Because to him you're just as annoying, even if he's pretty good at hiding it at times. Riku notes the temporary mid-freeze, and shuts off the feed as soon as he heard that. His eyes also fall on the exact position Silver's presence is coming from.

...His superhuman senses still haven't faded any, thank you.]


Someone never reveals all of his tricks in one go if he's to continue existing, moron. Surely even someone like you knows this much.

[he won't allow himself to be goaded so easily. Not like back then - a time that seems so long ago to him, now.]

Action!

[His hand tightens into a fist and Silver snarls a bit - then forces himself to calm down and think. He knows Riku is right and it would do him not good to react hotly to it or dismiss the matter out of hand; deny Riku had a point. Not two months ago he would have, but now...

It's another bitter pill to swallow, though not as bitter as some of the ones on other topics... Another breath or ten and he schools his face impassively.
] I'm hardly an uneducated simpleton.

[And the redhead's just going to lean against a tree nonchalantly, hands shoved into jeans pockets. Now you can see the coldness and arrogance that matches that aura of his.] But I suppose you might have gotten stronger, for a weakling.

[...backhanded acknowledgement? From Silver? Perish the though.]

action forever~

[Riku waits patiently, keeping his expression blank for a time as he stares at the other. Had he struck yet another nerve without fully meaning to? Not like he cared; it was something that he probably would have to do many times to keep this one in line or from doing something stupid again.]

Then you shouldn't act like it half the time. [Just a simple suggestion as he shrugs, moving to pass the other before continuing on. ...Wait, was that backhanded acknowledgement? How peculiar.] Coming from you? I'll take that as a compliment.

[Notice how he doesn't argue with being weak...]

YUS!

[identity profile] brbstealingpknm.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Yep - Silver's reactions to having a nerve struck are pretty telling; Though, thankfully, his time here in Vatheon has mellowed him out somewhat, or at least expanded on his patience so that he didn't fly off the handle. Silver would not appreciate having another person who'd be on his case for his behavior, but damned, he needs it!]

..And yet you don't deny you're weak. Typical. [A shurg though; he's just saying that because he can. He's only bothered by the stare a little before snorting.] You do know it's rude to stare, right?

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Too. Bad. Because he will whenever he has to, not to mention give reminders when they're needed. Since he knows what it's like, even in a vague sense, at least he can help slightly from an antagonistic approach if he chooses to.]

Just the way life is. [He rolls his eyes, holding his kitten in his arms. Someone has lucked out for this round.] Almost funny how staring is the lesser offense, lately.

[identity profile] brbstealingpknm.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
[And have a semi-malicious smirk, though he's still got that relaxed air about him. He's not going up the ante if you don't Riku. Not right now, anyway.] Really? And here I thought it was the hallmark of someone who acts like they've never seen a red-head before.

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Grew up with a couple red-heads. Sorry to disappoint. [n o p e. Not even going to bother in upping the ante unless he's attacked first. He has no desire to cause a repeat of the last time.]

[identity profile] brbstealingpknm.livejournal.com 2011-12-28 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Then I guess we have an uneasy truce right now.] Then do stop staring like a damned xatu or freaking noctowl.

[identity profile] limitless-land.livejournal.com 2011-12-30 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Riku rolls his eyes, but does glance away.] Waiting for something?
