(no subject)

[There's a new Riku walking into the dressing room, and it looks like this one's a girl. She's wearing the typical Destiny Islands school uniform, the tie loosened and the skirt swapped out for a pair of over-sized pants. Instead of stopping when she notices the change in surroundings, she continues on, staring around with narrowed eyes.

Talk about a serious dilemma. This seems pretty far off from the place she'd been going ten seconds ago.]

Definitely not the school bathroom.

[She looks... stunned. He's not the person she'd want to be explaining it, either, but it's certainly to the point. Unfortunately, she doesn't believe him.]

You can't be serious.

[eyeroll; mutters something along the lines of "why am I not surprised", and turns, continuing on the way he'd been going.]

I'm completely serious, and pretty much anyone else you talk to around here would tell you the exact same thing. At least this way you can get something to eat at the same time.

[this is obviously a huge bonus in his book, despite having not eaten since yesterday. :|b ]

[She doesn't follow, at first, looking around again quickly before she rushes to catch up with him. Holy shit, so tall.]

That doesn't make sense. Why can't I leave?

[shrugs. bunny is eying you sleepily around Axel's arm.]

Dunno. Sometimes people go home, after dying or not, but they usually end up back here. Whatever way you came in always disappears, and there are a million doors in this place, but none of them ever actually go anywhere outside of the DR. It's pretty nice here, though, once you get used to it.

[She automatically turns back to look at where the door had been, then looks back to Axel. Upon realizing how close she'd gotten to catch up, she steps to the side to put some distance between them.]

I don't care how nice it is. This is crazy, I can't stay here.

[pushes open the door to the kitchen and sets Apricot on the table, peeling out of the t-shirt he'd been wearing (gasp!) and making a little nest with it, which Apricot immediately burrows into. have some scars, Riku, though they're somewhat faint now.]

Too bad. Like I said, you can't get out. Most people who end up here don't want to be here, have important things to do, whatever. At least time doesn't seem to have passed for most of them, if they get to go home at some point.

[What the hell, she doesn't want to see that. Riku stops beside the table, eying Apricot.]

So I could go back at any time like nothing happened?

[it's too bad he has no sense of propriety or modesty, then. Apricot is a little ball of orange bunny, but lifts his head to sniff at Riku curiously. Axel's going to poke through the fridge.]

Yeah, most of the people who've died and gone home for a bit have reported that they'd only been missing there for a few days, or not even that much. Y'want something to drink?

[She'll just stare down at bunny, in that case, expression faintly irritated.]

No.

[glances at her, then moves away from the fridge, setting a bottle of water down on the table in front of her.]

It's not as bad as it seems. It's just overwhelming and weird at first. But who knows, there might be someone from your world here already.

[retrieves an entire roasted chicken from the fridge and goes to nuke it in the microwave.]

[Tch. She looks even more annoyed at that.]

And how would I know, even if they were from mine?

[~~idk, but it probably involves dropping your pants.~~ gets the chicken out of the microwave and settles at the table with it, pulling off a leg and setting it next to the t-shirt nest; bunny stops staring at Riku and hops over to start chewing on it.]

It's not as hard as you might think. You can just... tell.

[~~hey shhhh.~~ She's not going to question the bunny's eating habits. Instead, she looks around the kitchen before taking a seat at the tabled herself, resting her head in her hand.]

That I could believe.

[lays into the chicken, though he seems to be forcing himself to, scowling at it before pulling bits off and eating them.]

Just watch out for Larxenes, Ansems, Saixes, and Marluxias. There are one or two okay ones, but most of them are either insane or sadistic or pedophiles or some combination. And if you've got a keyblade, that'll help a lot.

Pedophiles?

[What the fuck did she walk into.]

[scowls more ferociously.]

Just the one, actually. A Marluxia with a fondness for using his vines for inappropriate activities involving unsuspecting people who aren't quite adults yet. All I really know about him is that he totally corrupted the little Replica that was around before he ended up here - Marluxia, that is, though the Replica's here too. He's got lots of people looking out for him now, though.

[She looks appropriately disgusted, and speechless.]

That's sick.

Yep. That Marluxia's also raped my-- partner, I guess, boyfriend's not really strong enough anymore. Left him strung up with the vines still going afterward and went on his way. Fucker.

[sounds bitter and angry; pushes the chicken aside after glaring at it some more, but then shakes himself out of his cloud of angst and smiles wryly at her.]

So yeah, welcome to the DR, which isn't bad except for that sort of shit. Just watch your step, and if anyone gives you the crazy eye, just run like hell in the other direction.

[Go ahead, throw everything at her at once. She looks absolutely horrified, and now she really is at a loss for words.]

[oh, sorry about that. >>;;; ]

I... probably shouldn't have dumped all that on you. Sorry. I'm just really scattered right now. It hasn't been a very good week so far.

[pets Apricot, who is nibbling his chicken leg slowly.]

Guess I can understand why.

[On a somewhat unrelated note, she is not at all surprised to hear this Axel has a boyfriend.]

Oh, that didn't happen all that recently. He's asleep in a pod like the one most Soras have been in, right now, and we can't figure out how to get him out.

[when said like that, it doesn't really sound that bad, but it IS. also you probably think my boyfriend is a Roxas, don't you. DON'T YOU.]

[She actually didn't, at first - her Roxas was female - but now she does! Due in part to the mention of Sora, which also reminded her of the multiples thing.]

Memory problems?

Nah, we're thinking it just sort of trapped him when he went in the room. The memory problems were a few weeks ago, ironically enough, but those were understandable, at least.

[steals the bottle of water back and opens it, taking a sip.]

...right.

[Now she definitely thinks he's a Roxas.]
