the funk of forty thousand years

[imaskellington.livejournal.com]

[And just like last year, the main room has been cleared out for a Grand Halloween Ball! There's music playing, food for every monster/animal/zombie you are dressed up as, and a few dancing skeletons to liven up the mood.

Also. Don't go to the dance floor alone.

Because you will find yourself dancing the "Thriller" automatically :}

Kiddies, feel free to go trick or treating!]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!

That's too bad...

[sounds quite unfortunate. he's noticed his eyesight's gone a bit wonky since getting his costume, but at least he can still see.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

On the other hand, my other senses have started to make up for it. I can hear things better than I could before. Things like what Marluxia back there was saying to you.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[he does not understand the significaaaaaance.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

I could hear some of what he was... doing, too. Why don't you tell me what he did do though, so I can be sure.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[headtilt.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

I heard your voice get unsteady. What was he doing then?

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

[frowns a bit.]

...rubbing me, kind of. It made me feel weird.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he's frowning a lot more than a bit]

You shouldn't let someone do that, you know.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

Why?

[he doesn't even know what "that" is.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

He was taking advantage of your now knowing exactly what he was doing to you. People don't touch each other that way except for special circumstances.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

[just looks at him in confusion, forgetting for a moment that Riku can't see.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[headtilt at you at your silence]

Roxas? Are you still there?

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

What? Yes. Sorry.

[yeah, definitely forgot there.]

I just don't understand.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. It's... hard to explain. Just promise you won't let anyone touch you if it makes you feel strange, okay?

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

[frooooown that's not a good explanation, but.]

Okay.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

If you really want to know, I hear there's a library here. Or you can ask someone you trust about it.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

...trust?

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

Like a friend. Someone you know wouldn't do anything bad, or try to hurt you.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

[quiet again, before he shrugs.]

I don't know anyone like that. I guess I'll just go look in the library.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

Alright. Would you do me one more favor, then? Tell me which way is the exit from here. There's too much going on for me to try to keep track of, and people move things like chairs without thinking about it.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

I can take you to it.

[since it looks a little busy on the way there.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

Alright. Let me have a hand on your shoulder this time? It's a little easier for me to follow that way.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[moves Riku's hand to his shoulder; he's a tiny thing, sorry.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he doesn't mind, because Sora's pretty short too.]

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

[well he's still KH1!Sora levels of shortness. but in any case, he's leading the way to the exit, carefully avoiding every obstacle in the way.]
