[ 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]

[True. She probably wouldn't take it, though.]

Cookies. Gingerbread men, gingerbread houses... Someone will probably make something this month.

[Cooking does seem to be one of the most popular hobbies here.]

[before]

[Silly Riku and her refusing help.]

Ah. Can't say I've had it before.

[dawnrise]

It's alright. One of those things you can bite the heads off of.

[Who doesn't like doing that?]

[before]

Nice.

[Well it got a grin out of him, at least.]

[dawnrise]

[Mission accomplished? Riku smiles a bit, looking around.]

All of this makes me wonder what's going to happen at Christmas.

[before]

Hopefully nothing too terrible.

[dawnrise]

Terrible in what way?

[Glances at him.]

[before]

In any way. I'd rather not have an annoying spell, or be stuck dealing with something too Christmas-y.

[dawnrise]

Well, we already had the mistletoe. If things go like last year we'll have a ball.

[before]

Hopefully that'll be it.

[dawnrise]

Hopefully.

[She agrees whole-heartedly. She's not too thrilled about the idea of another ball, because it seems like now that means another dress.]

[before]

[At least she'll get to pretty up without having to do it voluntarily-

I mean. Hey, heading closer to town now.]

[dawnrise]

[Does not want prettying up. But yay, Christmas Town! Riku speeds up a bit in that she takes some bigger steps. (If this puts her ahead of Red, he might notice that the back of her boots are open past her knees - they lace up. But surprise! Candy cane striped stockings. Riku's oblivious.)]

[before]

[...lol. He won't comment, then! Though if she happens to look back, he looks pretty amused.]

[dawnrise]

[She's focused on the town, so she doesn't notice! Whoops.]

Something smells sweet.

[before]

Eh?

[What smells sweet, what.]

[dawnrise]

[The smell of cakes and pies are absolutely everywhere~ Well, Santa's workshop does make cookies on top of toys.]

Can you smell it?

[before]

...yeah.

[dawnrise]

Wonder where it's coming from.

[Pause.]

Or if it's just this place.

[before]

Somehow I wouldn't be surprised.

[dawnrise]

It is a holiday world.

[Looks at him.]

[before]

Mmhm.

[What the hell does Halloween smell like anyway?]

[dawnrise]

[Candy, pumpkins, autumn... Death? Darkness!]

You don't like it at all, do you?

[before]

Not particularly.

[All of the above work.]

[dawnrise]

Thought so.

[She's not surprised.]
