[ 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. ]

Why Halloween?

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

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

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

Maybe.

[Shrugs!]

You never-

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

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

Where is it?

...that way.

[Pointing toward the graveyard, go figure.]

Oh, great.

[This isn't going to go well. To the graveyard?]

[To the graveyard! Some of the tombstones have been completely destroyed, and it's pretty obvious that claws did it.]

[Exactly how big are these claw marks? Riku's sticking pretty close to Red, just in case whatever this thing is turns out to be as dangerous as she suspects.]

[Big enough to have been done by something larger than them.]

Hm...

[Well size doesn't really intimidate Riku. Some of the biggest Heartless out there are easier than the smaller ones.]

What do you think?

's definitely a werewolf. If I had to take a guess, it's wandering on the other side of the hill.

[You know, the weird curly one.]

So what should we do?

[He knows Halloween Town a lot better than she does, after all.]

Probably go after it. Even if it's someone from the dressing room, if they're trashing shit like this, they're probably a little out of control.

[Riku makes such a face at that, and starts walking again.]

Here's hoping it's not a Saïx.

Don't jinx us.

[That sounded teasing though. Time to head for the hill~?]

[That's where she's going, and she snorts at that. It better not be one.]

[It's not a Saix, no worries!]

[Well, where is whatever it is?]

[Looks like it's just darted out of sight on the other side of the hill, howling again. Faito times?]

[If they must! It's not like Riku's the type to pass up a fight. She's moving for it.]

[Well once they're close enough, there's a werewolf, looking halfway between the classic movie wolfman and a real wolf, snuffling at a spot on the ground and growling lowly. It won't be more than a couple seconds before it notices them, at which point it snarls and charges.]

[Werewolves are not something Riku has ever found particularly scary, but she is suddenly aware that she does not enjoy having one charge at her. That would be a shield popping in his way.]

[It slams right into the shield with a short, somewhat pained but mostly pissed howl before it charges again. If it is anyone, they're kind of stupid. Red will just uh. be here. Behind Riku a bit.]

[Just don't trip her over! Riku's got zero experience with werewolves, but Saix is close enough, right? Which means Keyblade combo time and lots of focus on defending herself. And Red.]
