[ 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.]]

[Nods.]

I don't show up until the end.

[before]

Damn, I guess I'll have to play them after all.

[Riku there is a bottle of painkillers being shoved at you.]

[dawnrise]

[It is being ignored.]

I never said that.

[before]

[He'll keep holding it out.]

Unless you'd rather tell me? Though I get the feeling seeing it in the game would give me a more neutral explanation. If vaguer.

[dawnrise]

[She'll keep ignoring it.]

Probably. The first game doesn't show any of the things I did.

[before]

Riku, take the damn pills.

[Do we have to start with DIS FACE again.]

[dawnrise]

No. I don't need any.

[She will grumpyface at him.]

[before]

[DIS. FACE.]

[dawnrise]

[Crosses her arms.]

[before]

[He might look a little concerned under that expression. :/]

[dawnrise]

[But Riku's stubborn.]

Look, I'm fine.

[before]

No, you're not. You've got a damn head injury and are walking around like it's nothing, even though it was bad enough that you weren't walking properly before we got to the bathroom.

[dawnrise]

Yeah, you get a little dazed when a sword connects with your head. I'm fine now.

[She's standing up again, too.]

[before]

I don't believe you.

[But he's tucked the pills away again. And is heading for the door.]

[dawnrise]

[Lets out a quiet, forced laugh.]

Smart.

[before]

[Why so forcing a laugh.]

I'm going to head back.

[dawnrise]

[No reason. She's following him.]

Alright.

[before]

[Oh, good. He will convince her to rest yet.]

[dawnrise]

[Good luck with that.]

[before]

[Maybe she needs to be tied down--]

[dawnrise]

[That might not give the desired result.]

[before]

[You're right, it'd probably result in Aden coming way earlier than he's supposed to- I mean.]

[dawnrise]

[fffff. A-Anyway! Goodbye, Santa's house.]

[before]

[And time to start the trek back toward that tree.]

Wonder if the snow is here year-round?

[dawnrise]

I wouldn't be surprised.

[She kind of likes the place.]
