[ There's a sudden sound of glass breaking and the quiet hiss of pale pink smoke as it floods out from under a doorway-- and then Riku's stumbling out, coughing into her hand. ]

[immediately stops walking by, moving to her worriedly.]

You okay?

[dawnrise]

[shakes her head, shutting the door and leaning against it. she doesn't have enough breath to speak, unfortunately, but Kai might notice something off about her balance.]

[seasides]

[...yeah, noticing that. a lot. what the fuck.]

[dawnrise]

[sorry, is the complete lack of darkness throwing him off? it's got her in a state of shock.]

[seasides]

What did you do?

[completely flabbergasted. this is just weird.]

[dawnrise]

[looks at him, eyes wide.]

I didn't do anything.

[seasides]

But you're...

[trails off, not sure what to say.]

*stops before he runs into you, carrying a basket of laundry*

... whoa!

[dawnrise]

[jerks back, keeping her hand over her mouth and staring at Ri, who will likely notice the total absence of darkness in her.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*does notice the lack! and it is so startling that he thinks you're a totally different person*

Hey, are you alright, Riku?

[dawnrise]

[doesn't blame him; she has to concentrate to make sure this is who she thinks it is. to the question she shakes her head, looking like she's... quite possibly in shock, actually.]

*he quickly sets down the laundry basket*

Are you injured? Need a potion? Do you know where you are? This is the dressing room.

[dawnrise]

[blinks at him, holding a hand up to her head.]

I'm not-- I'm not hurt, and I know where I am.

[That. was kind of out of nowhere.]

You okay?

[dawnrise]

[continues to cough for a minute, shaking her head.]

No.

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[dawnrise]

I don't know. It's not-- I don't know.

[makes a vaguely frustrated noise, dropping her hand.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Alright, alright. Just uh- maybe you should sit down.

[Motions to a couch.]

[dawnrise]

No.

[shakes her head again, staring at the ceiling.]

[roseofgrey.livejournal.com]

[... what the fuck. coughs a little too, then... kind of stares at her.]

[dawnrise]

[she continues coughing for a minute, trying to get the taste of the smoke out of her throat, then turns to look at him.]

[roseofgrey.livejournal.com]

[... takes a step forwards, scrutinizing her.]

--the fuck...

[dawnrise]

[she's leaning against the wall at this point, staring at him but not really looking at him.]

What--

[roseofgrey.livejournal.com]

... it's different.

[dawnrise]

That's not-- It can't.
