I can lie to myself

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

[In the farthest hallways of the DR, where Heartless are more prone to roam, a pair of bloody footprints seems to have appeared out of no where on the floor. They lead in a straight path over the floor, until one might run across a blood-soaked shirt dropped in a messy and gory pile. The bloody footsteps end at a pile of equally bloody clothes and shoes, and a closed bathroom door. The water sounds like it's running.]

[...well then. he's tempted to knock on the door after following that trail, but instead he goes to grab a change of clothing in case Ri doesn't have one in there with him.]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he wasn't exactly thinking clearly, so that will be appreciated once he's coherent*

[regalheart]

[once he has some clothing, he'll knock on the bathroom door before leaning against the wall beside it.]

Ri?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*that's the sound of retching, yes; the door's unlocked btw*

[twilit-papa.livejournal.com]

[he's been following the bloody trail, and the familiar clothes confirm who it is. he doesn't bother to knock, pushing the door open to give Ri a weary look.]

You can't keep doing this.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he doesn't look up, just wiping his mouth because he's overloading on Darkness and just because he can do this doesn't mean he enjoys it*

... someone has to.

[twilit-papa.livejournal.com]

[He can feel that, and it only makes him feel more useless in this situation.]

No, they don't. Can't you see what it's doing to you?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*his eyes almost look they're stained gold at this point, which probably doesn't help either*

Do you want me to just fucking let him go? After what he's done?

[twilit-papa.livejournal.com]

[he's coming over now, to turn Ri's head toward a mirror.]

Look at yourself, Ri. Just look at what he's turning you into!

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he tries not to look, he already knows what the Darkness has done to him now that he has a Heart, and he doesn't like to see that shining gold color*

He's the one who turned me into this! I won't let him go. He has to suffer, the way Rikka is suffering!

[twilit-papa.livejournal.com]

[he'll force him to look if he has to, giving Ri's chin a jerk]

What do you think Rikka wants more? This revenge in Rikka's name or his father turning into a monster?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he'll struggle a little, getting a bit angry*

I'm no monster! Marluxia deserves everything he gets!

[twilit-papa.livejournal.com]

[he'll let go of Ri's chin, stepping back before he ends up getting hit. there's blood on him from where they were touching, marring his clothes that are for once clean of engine oil.]

Is that why you came here first, to clean yourself up before coming home, where Rikka or Kira might see you? I don't deny Marluxia deserves to be punished, but there's a line you're getting awfully close to crossing, Ri. How long before you can't control yourself?

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he wouldn't hit you, though you not having oil stains is somewhat rare; he does your laundry sometimes, you know*

I won't kill him. Axel already came down on me about that.

[H-holy shit. Way to worry her. Namine will be following the trail of bloody footprints until she finds the clothes and door, and was about to knock, but then she recognizes that darkness.]

...R-Ri?

[She so hopes that blood belongs to someone else.]

[twilit-papa.livejournal.com]

[He does it for Kira, which means he'll have to change after this as well. For now he's shaking his head, looking a little sad.]

That isn't what I meant.

[regalheart]

Ri...

[he pushes open the door, heading inside with the clothing, sighing.]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he's got his head in the toilet, and he's barfing up Darkness... mostly; and he's got boxers on still, since they were the only thing he was wearing that didn't get splattered in blood*

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*Kira does enjoy seeing everyone clean and well-dressed*

I can control myself.

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*hold on there's barfing noises coming from inside the bathroom*

[regalheart]

God, Ri, what are you doing to yourself?

[does Ri need some back rubs. somehow I don't think Light-based help would be... well, helpful.]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he's basically OD-ing on Darkness, which is bad since he has a Heart now and all, so some Light might actually be good*

[regalheart]

[orite. well in that case, have some back rubs from a Light-coated hand.]

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*well the barfing will stop once he gets most of the excess Darkness out of his system*

[regalheart]

[and he'll just sigh and stay where he is next to Ri.]

Feeling better?
