[ 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.]]

[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.]

[before]

Annnnd then she started going on about how you did it because you liked me.

[Pause.]

I hadn't laughed that much in a while.

[dawnrise]

[... Snorts and drops her hand (because who cares about blood?) to cross her arms.]

You want to know what she said about you?

[before]

I'm not sure if I want to know, no. Tell me anyway.

[dawnrise]

You can probably figure it out. It was along the same lines.

[She is not even kidding.]

[before]

[...Pfffft.]

Basically I should never mention kissing around that kid. Ever. Right?

[dawnrise]

Right. And if she comes after me again, I'm going to find you, and you'll be the one to listen to her for two hours.

[before]

Two hours?

[dawnrise]

Yeah. That's about how long it took for her to give up.

[Partly because Riku is a sucker for kids and let Kairi follow her around the whole time.]

[before]

[...Snicker.]

Funny, she dropped it pretty easily with me.

[dawnrise]

Because you let her think it was true.
