[before]

[Red's been a little absent lately. Who knows what he's been doing, really? He looks to have changed a bit in the time he's been gone; his hair's basically flat, though still thick, and his figure seems... softer. Oh, and there are two lumps on his chest, but they're more or less hidden by his jacket, which seems bigger on him than normal. What ever could've happened~? It's called breaking things in a laboratory when you don't know what they are.

But now he's back in one of the more populated areas- the game room, oddly enough, seated in one of those racing games and going through the car selection.]

[It's hard to get that particular scent of darkness confused with, well, any other in this place. Riku, having been passing by the game room, backtracks to peer inside... and pauses.]

[before]

[Where the hell did he learn how to play a game that's basically just driving? Who knows. But it looks like it's starting now.]

You just going to stand there?

[...Well, he's got a voice to match his new looks!]

[dawnrise]

[Oh hell, is there really a spell going around? Riku tilts her head, walking inside and over to-- uh, Red.]

What happened to you?

[before]

['He' sends a look her way- and promptly crashes into a wall in game before pausing it.]

What happened to me? What happened to you!

[dawnrise]

[Oh right, he hadn't seen her since the Heartless spell, had he? Whoops. Riku scratches the back of her head.]

Long story. I asked first.

[before]

I'm not the one missing an arm, Riku.

[Meaning he probably won't answer until she does.]

[dawnrise]

[Well fine, she's making a slight face at him now.]

I got into a fight. He took my arm as a snack to go.

[before]

[He looks... pretty pissed off, actually.]

Who?

[dawnrise]

[That's surprising.]

Saix. You've probably seen them around. Blue hair, scarred face. They're usually in the black coats.

[before]

Oh, one of those.

[He's definitely seen them around. Jeez, are they all crazy?]

Want to borrow mine?

[dawnrise]

[You have no idea, Red. She just lifts an eyebrow, confused.]

Your what?

[before]

My arm.

[Just a hint of a smirk here, really.]

[dawnrise]

[Pause, blink. Well then.]

No thanks.

[before]

[Shrugs, frowning.]

Your choice.

[dawnrise]

[Her mild shock has gave way to a slight amusement. That's... not normal.]

I'm working on finding a way to get mine back. So, what happened to you?

[before]

Playing where I shouldn't have been.

[Grins lazily, patting his chest.]

It's amazing what knocking over the wrong vial of glowing stuff does.

[dawnrise]

[Raises an eyebrow at the patting. Well that means it isn't a spell, at least.]

Smart.

[before]

Well, it was an accident for once.

[dawnrise]

For once.

[...Sorry, she's distracted seeing how close Red looks to the Axel from her world. It's weird.]

[before]

[Well, his hair is flatter and he's got a bigger chest than fatalfire!Axel, but that's the chemicals and he's still got the Halloweentown look to him.]

For once.

[dawnrise]

[She's glad for the differences, actually.]

You're the second person I've seen that happen to in the past couple of days.

[before]

Really now.

[And he looks... vaguely interested.]

[dawnrise]

[Nods. The coincidence is the only part that surprises her now. Oh, DR.]

Except he wasn't playing with glowing vials.

[before]

[Snickers.]

At least there was a reason I got turned.

[dawnrise]

[Smirks.]

A reason that was your fault.
