[ 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. ]

[She could choose that out of place howl coming from further in town as a distraction!]

...this place doesn't normally come with the sound effects.

/gives up on the restricted icons

[dawnrise]

[Well she's stopped, at least, looking out at the town with slightly wider eyes.]

No...

I was expecting that sooner or later :<

[before]

Do we go look?

[Too bad the outfit came with a wolf and not the chainsaw.]

I tried my best! but I don't like any of the other icons I made. >>;

[dawnrise]

...sure.

[She turns back toward the town, adjusting one of her sleeves.]

Might as well.

I want to see 8<

[before]

Wonder if it's dangerous?

[Totes not excited to find out, what.]

no. D:

[dawnrise]

I'd expect it to be.

[Strange new things around here tend to be (or maybe that's just her luck, and if it's howling in Halloween Town? Yeah. She starts heading down the path, looking at him.]

but. ;o;

[before]

[What, he's heading right after her! And wondering how hard it would be to fight in this outfit.]

noooooo

[dawnrise]

[That depends on if he's wearing heels or not! Riku does a test, actually, and summons Way to Dawn just to make sure.]

/sob

[before]

[Well, they're not that heeled. It's enough to give him a little bit of trouble, but not enough that he couldn't run if needed.]

/gives tissue

[dawnrise]

[Damn. I mean- No, Riku would have found Red stumbling around in heels to be incredibly entertaining, not gonna lie. But not during a fight. She dismisses her Keyblade and crosses her arms, adjusting her speed so she can walk beside him.]

I like this place.

/snots on B(

[before]

Oh?

[He's managing a pretty normal speed, thankfully.]

eww D8

[dawnrise]

Mm.

[That was a random comment, but it's conversation, and it's true.]

[before]

[Conversation usually means more than just a comment--]

Guess that's a good thing.

[dawnrise]

[Oh shush, it's a start.]

Well... it's not like I wouldn't.

[before]

You never know.

[dawnrise]

[Shrugs.]

Well, I do. It's one of the cooler worlds out there, even if it comes with things like this.

[Her wings ruffle up at that, stretching the ribbons. Are they in the town yet?]

[before]

[They should be! The place looks pretty normal; no signs of any wolves!]

You make it sound like the outfits are a downside.

[dawnrise]

[Yeah, that's really comforting. Riku raises an eyebrow at him, pausing in looking around for that wolf-thing.]

I'd like to be able to walk around in here in my normal clothes.

[before]

Clearly you should try it next Halloween. Maybe this place will be nice.

[dawnrise]

Why Halloween?

[Doesn't mention how she doubts it. No worlds are nice to her.]

[before]

Because that's when everywhere else in the dressing room will be dressed up.

[dawnrise]

[...nods. It makes sense, but she doesn't see it happening, either.]

Maybe.

[before]

[Shrugs!]

You never-

[-know. Interrupted by howling that sounded pretty damn close.]

[dawnrise]

[Tenses at that, stepping closer to Red and holding her hand out in case she needs to summon her Keyblade fast.]

Where is it?

[before]

...that way.

[Pointing toward the graveyard, go figure.]
