[ You know, when Riku found this room, she thought it would be interesting to explore. A giant room with giant toys. Nutcrackers, mostly, with some other classic toys - dolls, ballerinas, wooden blocks, and porcelain clowns... She thought she'd hang around for a bit, maybe experience life as a doll. Then the giant music box caught her eye, and she just had to investigate. That's how she wound up in this mess.

Not that you could immediately tell it was her. See, the only visible part of her is from the waist down. The music box? Locked, with a keyhole. Apparently she tried to get inside... And now she's stuck. Perfect. ]

[[ooc; there is in fact more to this than it seems.]]

[Riku's fine, for the record - she just growls and cuts them down harder, jumping in the air and crashing down on one of them with her keyblade for a shockwave.]

Just head for the door!

[before]

[He's torn between doing that and staying to make sure she's okay, which would be why he's just kind of waffling in place.]

It won't let me back in chat. :|

[dawnrise]

[Oh for heaven's sake. The Mouse King might be off course, screeching in pain, but it won't hold long - and attacking it has not made the other mice happy. The ones that are left and able are going after Red! Not that Riku intends to let them all reach him - the group's getting a Dark Aura.]

It's not letting anyone in :(

[before]

[Oh hello mice, and Riku. Now that she's moving, he will be, too- towards the door, of course, and looking back to make sure she's on her way.]

I figured, since I finally got back in and it's empty. XD

[dawnrise]

[No, she wants to stay and have tea with the king. Of course she is, but she only really starts for the door when he gets moving. Fortunately, once that happens she doesn't waste much more time on the mice. She jumps right over them to run.]

[before]

[Nice. Once she's really running, he'll take off for the door as fast as he can.]

[dawnrise]

[They're going to get killed waiting around for each other like that. But it shouldn't take them long to get through the door, in that case!]

[before]

[Is it so bad to not want to ditch his friend? 8<]

[dawnrise]

[No, but she told him to go. And you can bet she's going to yell at him for not going once they're safe. She'll be sliding through the door right about now, where's he?]

[before]

[Already out! Time to slam the door shut?]

[dawnrise]

[Please. If he can do that then Riku will crash against the wall next to it. She's sporting a nice line of blood from the cut above her eye.]

[before]

[Door is closed! Hopefully those mice won't be able to get through.]

...you're bleeding.

[Brb Captain Obvious.]

[dawnrise]

[Hopefully! Riku's eying the door in case they try to get through, but she lifts her free hand to wipe the blood away. Which doesn't do that so much as smear it across one side of her face. She has not dismissed Way to Dawn, for the record.]

Yeah.

[before]

I don't think they're gonna try and get out.

[Faint frown goes here as he eyes her face.]

Might want to clean that up. You look like you could fit in in Halloween Town with that smeared across your face.

[dawnrise]

[She relaxes a little, because he's right - they're not. But that makes her lift her eyebrows (and immediately wince), then press her hand on the cut.]

Right. Did you get hurt?

[before]

Nope, all good.

[He certainly doesn't appear injured.]

[dawnrise]

[Yes, and Riku looks a little suspicious. But she's not pushing it. Time to head for the nearest bathroom.]

Good.

[before]

[Well, the mun can't think of when/where he would've gotten injured since he spent most of the time running.]

[dawnrise]

[Oh, it's good that he's not hurt, Riku's just never sure when she can believe him about that. Case in point: nailbat.

-- Hang on a sec, Riku's whirling around to give him a glare.]

[before]

[Lolnailbat- hey what.]

What?

[dawnrise]

Why did you tell a little girl that I kissed you?

[That's what.]

[before]

...because you did?

[Hey man, he knows nothing about normal little girls. How was he supposed to know how she'd react?]

[dawnrise]

[If she didn't already have her hand on her face, she would now, for entirely different reasons.]

Just so I've got this straight - what did you tell her?

[before]

I told her I got stuck under some mistletoe and you got me out.

[dawnrise]

... Alright.

[She just wanted to get that cleared up.]
