[The bathroom door's half open, and anyone passing by might get a glimpse of Riku staring into the mirror. He's leaning against the counter on his arms, irritable and tense for reasons that relate to the latest spell. Does he know exactly why? Maybe. But if he does, there's nothing he plans to do about it.]

It's not the same, Riku. For one, I'm not going to be hurt if you don't want me around.

[dawnrise]

Not the point. I'm not going to avoid you just because you look like him.

[seasides]

It'd be easier to find him if we split up anyway.

[knows he's not acting like himself and doesn't want to subject Riku to that in case he slips up.]

*sneaks in one more tag*

[dawnrise]

[still, wants him to know. partly for himself, really. he can't allow himself to do something like that.]

Maybe. Do you know how to use the corridors?

oh u

[seasides]

[grins, which probably looks kind of odd without malice behind it.]

Figured that out pretty quick, yeah.

[dawnrise]

[it really does. it's kind of unnerving, in a way.]

Good. They can be... really useful.

[seasides]

[nods.]

I've noticed.

[dawnrise]

I bet.

[wondering what he's been up to.]

[seasides]

I spent half a day messing around with them.

[dawnrise]

I'm... not surprised.

[seasides]

And then I rolled around in the garden.

[straight face.]

[dawnrise]

[...looks at him.]

What?

[seasides]

[shakes his head.]

No, I was still messing with the portals or whatever and wound up in the garden. In a dirt pile.

[dawnrise]

... Right.

[raises an eyebrow. good job there.]

[seasides]

Wasn't that bad. You should've seen how dirty I got.

[smirks.]

Definitely never going to see Larxene like that.

[dawnrise]

No, definitely not.

[that thought is just slightly amusing.]

What else have you played with?

[seasides]

I can use his powers! Kind of.

[blinks.]

As long as I'm not trying anything too big.

[dawnrise]

Be careful with those.

[doesn't care to know much about how they work, but still worries.]

[seasides]

I am! One of the Soras I know wanted me to go swimming with him and I refused to go near the water because of these.

[creates some sparks around one hand.]

[dawnrise]

Good. I don't think that would've went well.

[eyes the sparks, imagining what could've happened.]

[seasides]

Yeah, I'd rather not fry him.

[aaaand the sparks disappear.]

[dawnrise]

Makes me wonder what would happen if you dunked him when you were in your normal bodies.

[Larxene, that is.]

[seasides]

...well, he's probably got better control of his powers. I can't imagine it being pleasant, though.

[dawnrise]

Probably not.

[can't help but be curious.]

[seasides]

Say, how do you think Larxene would look as a not-blond?

[pulls on one of the antennae absently.]
