because this isn't creepy at all

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

[This Vexen is currently occupied in his lab, which he has finally organized and stocked to his own meticulous specifications. It is very clean, white, and sterile at the moment, and the only thing of note is the wall of shelves on one side, where many jars are organized, each with a floating Heart inside, each giving off a shine. Unfortunately, not all of the Hearts are that healthy pinkish color... some are purple, some are greenish, and a few are nearly black and barely floating at all.]

... Specimen H-023: Failure. Specimen H-024: Acceptable. Specimen H-025... hmmm...

[now that is quite an interesting trick]

My my. How did you come to learn such a thing, Riku? You have quite good control over your power for a child.

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

I watch lots of the other Rikus and Ansems and No--nobodies? And Ri, sometimes.

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

[goes tense for a moment when you say that particular name, but quickly covers it with an interested look]

... Ri, you say? I do not believe I have met him here. Who is he?

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

One of the people who takes care of me sometimes.

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

Ah. Perhaps I should clarify. I am familiar with the names and appearances of Rikus and Ansems, but this Ri...?

sleeptiems now :c

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

He's... um, he's a Replica. I'hink.

nightnight

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

Oh! I see. So he looks similar to a Riku then? You are quite helpful!

back <3

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

[he beams over at him, before looking at the hearts again, curiously.]

wb!

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

[the Hearts are... doing their Heart thing as Vexen takes notes]

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

Why don't most Rikus like you?

[the darkness dissipates, and he lands on his feet, a little clumsily.]

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

What do you mean, child?

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

I heard that Rikus aren't supposed to like Vexens. 'cause they're... mean or something.

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

Have I been mean to you, child?

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

Nope! So I dunno why they say you're mean.

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... perhaps some worlds are different from others, Riku. Though it is... unfortunate to hear that so many Rikus would think badly of me.

... geez don't make me bring his olderself in here

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

I don't.

[smiles.]

*innocent!*

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Riku.

[s-smiles, then awkwardly gives you a pat on the head]

you'd LIKE that >:| wouldn't you

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

Welcome!

[practically blossoms under the pat. encouragement is good.]

i use this icon for you and the keywords

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

So how you been with your studies? I have acquired a book on basic geology for you, if you would be interested in it.

... lmfao. i'm honored <3

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

--oh, I would!

[looks up at him quickly.]

A-and I think I'm doing good.

in that kind of creepy way right?

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

I shall be the judge of that. One wouldn't want your education to become lax.

[he moves over to a bookshelf and plucks out the book and holds it out to you]

somewhat |D

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

[nods, taking the book and looking it over, curiously.]

whooo

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

[its just your basic schoolbook on geology and physical sciences]

I will trust that you will study intently. I shall have tests for you, as well as practical experiments.

[greypetals.livejournal.com]

[he flips through a few pages, before closing it and nodding, firmly.]

I understand, sir!

[chilly-touch.livejournal.com]

Would you like to help me with another experiment, Riku?
