everything will change

[ What an odd sound. Loud, jazz music? It isn't every day you come across a live show, is it? The music itself seems to be animated itself, like it's... yanking you inside the room. Urging you to dance with the audience; like a puppet.

Seems that there's a Riku (stranding) on a large stage, playing a jazz tune with saxophone. The whole audience is definitely there, but they aren't inhabitants of the DR. In fact, you probably can't recognize them--they have no faces. At all. But they're all having a good time, possibly whisking you into a fast-paced dance. The only person that has a face is the DR's resident Shadow Man; Dr. Facilier. He's in the shadows, just watching, near the back door of the dance floor, sipping some bubbling wine from a champagne flute and enjoying the show.

As Riku stops his song and bows for a brief intermission, his eyes can be clearly seen: they're bright amber. And... is his shadow moving slightly? No one in the blank-faced audience notices. ]

Now ain't that a good show?

[ He mutters, more to himself, as the animated shadow pours him another glass of wine. Just as planned. ]

[ooc: Approaching Facilier will make the scenario change to whatever your character's wildest, greatest dream is. Everyone, including Riku, will disappear, but Facilier will be lurking somewhere in the background to propose a deal. :3 And if they decide to take his offer, they'll be giving something up. Approaching Riku, on the other hand, will just get you normal interaction. Maybe laced with a bit of Xehanort's Heartless. ... just remember: while the Shadow Man can tell what your character wants, I can't. |D; So PM/IM me (it's in the profile)!

also: BBS spoilers welcome! Throw anyone you want.]

[ she doesn't like being touched, really, and that's the only thing that's keeping her from falling to the dance floor. instead, she remains near the doorway, watching with a blank expression. it's pretty easy to tell that things are being manipulated rather heavily in here. she manipulates enough herself to see it. ]

[hello little girl Facilier notices her--not that Riku does. Just gonna stay over here. Don't try to toy with the manipulation, Naminé, he can wrap people up in their heavens or hells. then again, he might just let her try to shake Riku out of it if she so wishes. if she stays, though... hm.]

[noprisoner.livejournal.com]

[ she has no connection to Riku, and doesn't really want to talk to him. she might be looking for the room's manipulator, however. ]

[ultimacannon.livejournal.com]

[ The music is...strange. Not like anything he'd heard back home, that's for sure. But it makes him curious enough to wander inside, yanking aside. ]

[helldebt.livejournal.com]

[Seems that Riku notices him, as well as Facilier. Taking his break as the couples do, too, he sort of smiles, taking a drink.

Facilier, though, is interested. Hmm. |}]

[Well this former artist has always been fond of music, any kind, so he'll be drawn to this room pretty instantly after making his normal feeding rounds. Opening the door now--]

[helldebt.livejournal.com]

[ Big boom of music, that must be startling. But it's intermission now, and most people are sitting down. With his eyes glowing gold, it's a clear indicator of what's going on... if he can get to Riku, anyway. Facilier is taking his time. Might call him out. Might not. Let's see how he reacts. ]

[The music isn't terribly familiar, but it's not horrible so Saïx wanders on in a bit.]

[helldebt.livejournal.com]

[He is a pretty good saxophone player, yeah. The only Saix Riku knows is his PE teacher, so he avoids eye contact.]

[moardarknessplz.livejournal.com]

[It's the darkness that catches Ansem's attention. Something like that is quite honestly unmistakable, and well. He's curious.]

[helldebt.livejournal.com]

[Well, the darkness on Riku is pretty different from the darkness Ansem has, but not too different that he doesn't attract attention from the sax player.]

MR. SKYMNING.

[Someone does not sound happy at all, and that someone is standing in the doorway looking livid.]

[stranding.livejournal.com]

[Oh snap. Riku freezes abruptly, promptly spitting out his water. Facilier keeps to the shadows, practically disappearing as the musician lowers himself off of the stage.]

Merry evening to you too, Professor.

[music, you say. she likes music, and only takes a moment to peek inside before she enters, looking around with wide, curious eyes.]

[helldebt.livejournal.com]

[Aw, Kairi. He has a soft spot for you, so if they catch eyes, he'll wave her over.]

[shadowedxlight.livejournal.com]

[Avani steps in and looks around. Not the kind of music she usually likes (she's more into loud screaming metal music) but it's interesting. She tucks her hands into her coat pockets as she moves about the edge of the room, just taking everything in. She's not ready to dance just yet. As for her wildest dream, right now it's to keep her Darkness under better control than she has been lately. She wasn't sure why but she's been feeling herself slip a little.]

[helldebt.livejournal.com]

[... that should be relatively easy. Kekeke. He'll wait for her to notice him, sitting in his corner, alone.]

[dawnrise]

[That whole feeling of being pulled instantly makes Riku feel uncomfortable, and what she finds when she steps foot through the doorway (the frame now being held onto with one hand) strikes her as incredibly strange. But hell, who is she to judge her doubles? Her eyes go over the room slowly, trying to figure out what kind of place this is. The more she looks, the more she's sure this is just one more thing she's going to want to avoid, and she's tempted to leave until she spots Facilier. Something about him stands out.]

[helldebt.livejournal.com]

[Oh, he's sure. He looks at her out of the corner of his eye and chuckles, raising his glass before taking a sip. The way the crowd starts to sit down to rest makes an easy path to get to him.]

[Kurt is not fond of anything trying to control him.
But... it's a little music - rather interesting music at that. A little dancing. It can't hurt to investigate, can it?]

[helldebt.livejournal.com]

[Oh, no, it certainly can't hurt. It doesn't seem the crowd minds that he's a Heartless.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Hey, this looks like fun! It hardly takes the force of the music to lure Xeha into the midst of things. Okay, these folks seem a little ... off, maybe? ... but this isn't a normal place...]

[helldebt.livejournal.com]

[What are you going to do, Xeha? Investigate or ignore that for a good time, the age-old question~]

Somethin' you want, stranger?

[He can feel him there, but... not his desires. How weird.]
