in every corner

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[there's a scream from down this hallway as some poor soul is consumed by the shadows -- not Heartless, simply moving shadows. as the last dying gurgle escapes the writhing mass, a figure rises out of it slowly, darkness rolling and dripping off him like smoke and water. the figure is fully dressed in dark leather; heavy boots, pants, and a lovely leather jacket with a black wifebeater beneath it. he breathes the darkness in, out, a slow and dangerous smile making its way onto his face as he takes in the sight of the hallway. a hand goes to his pocket, a cigarette is pulled out and put to his lips, lit with a flick of his other hand. he runs that hand through his dark blue hair afterward, red eyes bright with malicious intent.]

Well now... didja miss me, dressing room?

[he flinches back hard at the unexpected touch to his lip, gagging on the taste. it still hurts even if 'Kai' is being gentle, and the stab wound feels as though it's throbbing with pain, making tears spring to his eyes.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[though he's being gentle, he's also being fairly slow to make sure the words are nice and clear. they're short words, but they're large~.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he doesn't even remember when his Keyblade disappeared, but he tries to call it again now. there's a shine in the air and it looks like it almost appears, but fades away abruptly when the knife cuts into him again, and he doesn't even feel it when the tears start running down his face.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

Your tears are absolutely beautiful, love.

[the knife leaves Riku's chest, the tip of the blade moving to rest against his cheek instead, a tear catching on the tip.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[that gets yet another flinch, his eyes squeezing shut with a distressed sound at the back of his throat. he's panting, feeling almost dizzy and wondering just how bad it must look when it feels as though the blood is trickling down his chest in itchy little rivulets.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

Maybe I should take those out for you some time. After all, they're useless, aren't they?

[he's speaking of Riku's eyes, of course, brushing a thumb over one eyelid before lower his hand back down to finish carving.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[even the suggestion makes Riku shudder, true fear showing in his face even as he bites his lip, trying not to respond. he doesn't want to say anything that might push 'Kai' into doing just that, because right now the chance of his eyesight returning is the biggest hope he has.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

I'll take your silence as a yes~.

[whoops. soon enough he'll be leaning back to admire his work.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

No!

[his struggles have certainly gotten weaker, his face paler than before. his chest is covered in blood and whatever was carved into him, and his jeans are stained wetly with the blood soaking into them on one side.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

I figured you'd say that.

[darkness slithers across Riku's face in a makeshift gag as his arms are drawn forcefully above his head.]

Let's go find a place to hang you up.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he makes another distressed sound of pain as his arms are jerked upward, his body flaring with the pain of stretching skin and muscle that's been cut into. even with that, the sheer relief he feels at not having his eyes damaged makes his knees feel weak.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[and the darkness swells up around them, pulling them into the floor. it's different form the corridors; even if Riku's eyes worked, he would see absolutely nothing. the darkness is suffocating, pressing against every inch of him, just on the edge of devouring him whole.

it only lasts a few seconds, however, before they're falling from the ceiling above the rafters in one of the main rooms. he's got Riku sitting on the beam as he peers down at the people going by.]

Looks busy.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he sways where he sits, eyes closed as he fights off another dizzy spell from the movement. the thought of people walking by unknowing beneath them makes his heart race, though whether in hope or fear he isn't sure.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

Well, have fun. Make sure to relay my message, alright?

[...and Riku is getting shoved right off the beam. don't worry, there's still a "rope" of darkness binding his hands, and it's now connected to the rafters there, so he won't hit the ground. the jarring stop will probably hurt like a bitch, though! and as soon as Riku's down, he's disappearing again, to who knows where.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he doesn't even have time to make a sound before a wrenching pain rips through his shoulders, his feet swinging uselessly as he jerks to an abrupt stop. he doesn't feel the pain for long before he passes out from it, head falling forward and mouth going slack around the gag.]
