(no subject)

[ Riku would like to think that, one day, she'll get over this. She knows she's herself now, no one else, but there are times when the effects Ansem had on her really make themselves known. And she's really getting sick of this neverending cycle. Especially when even her skin changes colors.

She's kneeling just inside the entrance to Halloween Town, bent over so far that her hair brushes across the ground. Her forehead rests across one arm for support, fingers digging into the dirt, while the other hand clutches at her chest. Her altered appearance aside (and we don't mean her normal black costume), there might be something more worrying about this picture. There are Shadows rising from the floor around her. ]

[... Shakes her head.]

Nothing I won't fix.

*waves you over*

Come here.

[dawnrise]

[She glances over, but seems hesitant to do that.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

I can come in there after you, but I hate what Halloween Town turns me into.

[dawnrise]

[Forces a smile this time, looking down at her outfit.]

I don't mind mine.

[It covers up most of her skin. But she'll start walking over.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Oh fine. At least you don't turn into a vampire like my Riku does.

*he takes a step into the room, and grimaces as he changes; laa~ have a dead angel hovering a few inches off the floor*

Hey, grab hold of me before I drift too high!

[dawnrise]

[No, just dresses like one. Her (tied) wings flutter a little when he steps inside, and she speeds up a bit so she can grab his arm.]

If you hate it so much then why'd you come in?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he'll just bob like an awkward balloon then*

Because you're my friend.

[dawnrise]

[Well it doesn't take long for her to sigh and try to drag him through the door.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*bobbing bobbing~*

The things I do for you.

[dawnrise]

[Her grip might have tightened a little, but she's not stopping.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Oh, pull me down more once we get to the door or I'll fall.

[dawnrise]

[Makes a show of sighing this time, twisting around to grab his front with both of her hands and tugging him down.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*and once you do, he throws his arms around you in a hug; bwahaha his plan worked*

[dawnrise]

[Indeed, it seems to have worked quite well! She's surprised at that, and doesn't hug back immediately.]

How long were you planning that?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he doesn't mind hugging*

For a few minutes, at least!

[dawnrise]

Why am I not surprised?

[She's just staring at him, but something in her expression changes, like she's staring through him at something else.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Because you need a hug?

*he catches that and twists to look behind him like there's something there*

[dawnrise]

[That snaps her out of it.]

-- You have to get out.

[There's nothing where he looks, but behind Riku, instead. She turns, too, looking horrified. A very foul scent of darkness is rising, and it might have something to do with that set of gloved hands sliding up her arms.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

What the hell?!

*he lets go of your abruptly, but unfortunately they're still in the room, so he floats up, his wings beating with agitation*

[dawnrise]

[Too bad. Riku, now having her entire body tense, would have shoved him away anyway in effort to get away from those hands. It's too bad they're not just a trick of the town.]

[anfemme.livejournal.com]

[No, it's a very familiar face standing there, looking quite pleased. She doesn't lower her hands, but moves them so she can clap.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*oh wonderful; he doesn't bother to hide his look of distaste when he sees Ansem*

I see you still haven't learned to wear a shirt, you bitch.

[anfemme.livejournal.com]

[She turns her head up to look at Ri, and a smirk that just screams victory spreads across her face.]

Is it my appearance that you should find concerns you?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

I can deal with Riku. You on the other hand, I can't stand.

*he tenses up, wondering what he can do in this situation*
