riku

(no subject)

[ not only is it possible to go outside, but it's possible to get stuck, too. this wouldn't be the biggest problem in the world if it weren't raining (of all things) - so instead of satisfying his urge to explore, riku's grumbling over how he can't stay dry. ]

[ after a while he's learned to make peace with the situation, chilling out with the hood of his jacket up until someone has the nerve to come along and open the door for him. ]

[The door's being opened... and whoever's opening it suddenly spazzes.]

Gah! Rain! Of course. [Muttermuttergrumble. Quick Riku, he's making to close the door!]

[ then this was a very bad time for him to start dozing off. he may not have heard the door in time - ]

Hey, don't--

[ oh, too late. ]

[He heard that though, so he's opening it up again, very cautiously poking his head in.]

Huh?

[ wait a tick ... ]

... isn't that locked?

[...Jiggles the handle.]

No?

... [ riku reaches for the handle and gives it a good yank. ]

[ it won't budge. that's great. ]

[Slight smirk.]

Guess it doesn't like ya.

Help me out, then.

[ at this rate he could catch his death out here. ]

Yeah, sure. [Holds it open for him. Feel free to notice that his right hand is made of metal.]

[there is another Riku pausing in the doorway, his hand held out. it's been a while since he's felt rain; he'd almost forgotten what it was like.]

Hm.

[ it's probably the same for a lot of people, riku included. by now he's made peace with being stranded (and wet), watching it quietly. ] ...

[he isn't dressed for rain- orange shirt, electric blue pants that he thinks are white and tan respectively, because that's what parts of his closet they were in after Kairi sorted it for him.

still, he's going to go ahead and wander inside, a slim white cane swinging ahead of him to keep him from bumping into anything. he's not minding the door, which is swinging shut again]

[ shoot, he didn't even hear the door opening. guess he'll have to wait for somebody else - heaves a sigh under his breath nonetheless. ]

[turns his head at the sigh, looking in Riku's direction curiously]

Is someone there?

Mm? Yeah.

Good thing you answered. I was about to swing my cane over there to be sure you weren't a Heartless.

No heartless here.

[ not that he knows of, at least. ]

Are you here because of the rain too, then?

Sort of.

[ he'd rather be out there, but. decisions. ]

It's nice, but much nicer with an umbrella, I think. It's a little hard to hear properly in here, too.

[he'll just be heading back for the door; does it open for him?]

[Well, Riku's a curious guy. So, before long, he stumbles across the door and opens it up...

To rain. Surprise, surprise!]

[ exactly how he's ended up out here. maybe it's some kind of clever ruse to trap every riku ever - ]

Achoo--

[ or he just has particularly bad luck. pulls his hands into his sleeves, still grumbling. ]

[He isn't stepping in just yet, but he will look towards his double. Huh...]

Shouldn't you get an umbrella?

[ oh, hi, self. it's still a little weird to be talking to your double, but riku's long learned to deal with it. ]

Didn't think I'd need it. Mind holding that open?

Sure.

[Holding the door like a butler, le woe.]

So why'd you stick around? The door's right here, after all.

Locked me out. Rather save the reconnaissance for a brighter day.

[ but at least someone's here to help, so he brushes the mud off his knees and stands up. it's a good thing, or he'd be soaked if he stayed out here much longer. ]

So it's a trap... Good to know.

[Besides, he doesn't need to get soaked anyway.]

Wonder if it's always raining out there. Might be worth checking out when the weather's better.

If it doesn't keep you out, I guess.

[ inches past riku while he can - he never thought he'd actually want to be back inside. ]

I doubt it'll be too much of a problem. If I get locked in, I'll just use my Keyblade.

[Well, once he walks by, Riku's gonna step away from the door and let it close on its own.]

... didn't think of that.

[ then again, he doesn't exactly have one ... ]

Well, it's not like everyone here has one. Guess I just lucked out.

It's not that useful, is it?

Actually, it is. Can open any door, and it's a powerful weapon.
