[ Riku's walking down a hall of the dressing room, a small leather bag slung over one shoulder, and what looks like an egg in one hand. A normal chicken egg. She's checking through room after room, peeking her head in to look around for a moment before she moves on to the next one. She's obviously looking for something, and seems prepared to do so for a while. ]

Molly?

[ ...or maybe it's someone she's after. ]


[[ooc: In which Riku tries to act like a big sister. Feel free to have her open your door or something.]]

[dawnrise]

[seeing as Riku usually works on anything alone, she's slightly bothered with someone following her. but she's trying not to let it show, and pauses after opening another door.]

... Hey.

[before]

[Might be peeking into a door across the hall, but he pauses to look over at her.]

What?

[dawnrise]

[shuts the door again and looks over.]

Found something a few weeks ago that you might be interested in.

[before]

[That gets him to turn to face her properly.]

Yeah?

so much wrong icon :|

[dawnrise]

[well at least she has his attention.]

Seeing you reminded me. Halloween Town showed up.

[before]

[K-Kind of just staring.]

Seriously?

[dawnrise]

[nods and crosses her arms.]

It's empty, like all the other worlds that show up here, but it's here. If you want to see it, I'll show you.

[before]

[He almost visibly droops when he hears it's empty, but nods anyway.]

Sure.

[dawnrise]

[she didn't think he'd like hearing that part, but she wasn't going to let him go without knowing. after looking around once, she adjusts her bag and starts walking, gesturing for him to follow.]

This way.

[before]

[He'll just follow quietly, trying to imagine the place empty.]

[dawnrise]

[she hasn't been back since the first time, but she's pretty certain of the location, so it probably doesn't take them too long to reach the door.]

[before]

[He's excited, even if it's going to be empty. He didn't realize he'd missed it.]

[dawnrise]

[aww. she could understand that feeling. as it is, once they reach it she stops a few feet in front of the door, turning to him.]

This is it.

[before]

[He just stares at the door, not entirely sure he wants to go in and see now that they're actually there.]

[dawnrise]

[...in that case, Riku moves, leaning her back against the wall beside the door. she does consider asking if he'd like her to leave, but she'd rather see a few things.]

[before]

[....Well, he's heading in silently now, posture immediately relaxing once he's inside.]

[dawnrise]

[Riku gives him a minute before she straightens and follows inside, just as silent. once she's set both feet on the ground, her appearance changes into something more appropriate for the spooky setting; black and white are the theme, with tattered black fabric making up her clothes, silver charms for buttons (has Red ever seen the Heartless emblem?), and clean white bandages scattered in various places, including a makeshift blindfold that leaves one eye uncovered. she's got something of a corset on along with black pants, and a shirt with the sleeves torn off and tied to her arms with silver wire. the parts of Riku that aren't hidden are her shoulders and hands, which are looking rather translucent, unlike her face.

whatever he's doing, she's a bit distracted.]

[before]

[He's just looking around as he walks, but pauses and glances back to see if she's coming along, only to stop short at the outfit. Here, Riku, have a long, low whistle.]

[dawnrise]

[that makes her break away from staring at her now see-through hand to look at him, just a bit startled.]

... This didn't happen last time.

[before]

[It seems to have put him in a better mood, because he's grinning at her, what little lighting there is to this place making him look even more like a walking corpse.]

Maybe it needed some time to settle.

[dawnrise]

[oh, that's wonderful. wouldn't want him to be in a bad mood, after all. Riku adjusts her bag, holding her head up higher. her eye must stick out nicely in all those grey tones.]

Maybe it's something like that.

[that said, she's going to start moving surprisingly well in her boots.]

[before]

[Oh, they definitely do. He's just going to... watch her in a rather obvious way. No one ever said the guy had class.]

That's a good look for you.

[dawnrise]

[briefly closes her eyes, and when they open again they're looking forward to the path.]

Shouldn't your eyes be on the town?

[before]

This view's pretty nice, too.

[Most of this is just teasing.]

[dawnrise]

[stops and looks at him. is he moving? because he'd better be.]
