[ In a relatively silent hall of the dressing room, the sudden sound of a wall splitting seems to come from nowhere. Cracks weave across the surface like a spider's web, making the wall tremble and shake. Dark sand leaks from the narrow openings, a small precursor for what comes next -- part of the wall crumbles away and a small mountain of sand spills from it, carrying in a young woman with silver hair.

She's barefoot, dressed in plain black robes, and appears to be unconscious as she comes to a stop splayed across the floor. Half-buried in sand though she still is, it's a familiar face she brings back. ]

[before]

[Of course he's nearby. Fate is just kind of like that sometimes. He stops short at the sight, frozen in place for a moment, disbelieving. It can't be. It really can't.

Can it?]

[dawnrise]

[Of course it can. It's her hair, her face, her voice... hoarse though it is when she groans. Riku's fingers curl into the sand as she starts to claw her way out, lifting her head weakly.]

[before]

[He thinks he's finally just... snapped, that he's imagining this, but he heads over to pull her out of the sand anyway. He's even worse off than the last time he came out, though how he's managed to lose weight so quickly is anyone's guess. His fingers, curled in the fabric on Riku's arms, are bruised, but of course he feels no pain using them to get her out.]

[Roxas twice as excited as I am to see Girlyku back, so naturally he's sprinting the fuck over there, falling to his knees when he's close to ever so gently lift her up.]

R-Riku?!

[dawnrise]

[She grunts in protest at the lifting, but she doesn't try to push him away. It's the opposite, in fact - she reaches to grab his shirt.]

Roxas?

[I'MNOTGONNACRY I'MNOTGONNACRY DAMN IT, LADY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE FOR GOOD. Big hugs for you.]

You're back! You're really back!

*hey the person who can beat sense into him this is totally unexpected and strange and he's hurrying over*

Riku-pi?!

[dawnrise]

[Happily! That weak grunt could be tired or pained, but it's quiet and doesn't go at all with the way she suddenly starts to scramble out of that sand to get to him.]

Ri?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*deal with the older-him then you'll have to suffer through him helping dig you out, finally just hauling you up into his arms to pull you free*

Did you turn into a mole or something?

what the fuck am I doing

...Real Thing?

[HI DID YOU MISS ME]

[dawnrise]

[Hello, last voice I expected to hear. Riku's head whips up instantly, wide eyes turned on Amina.]

What...?

[fakedshadow.livejournal.com]

[But I sound just like you--]

Don't tell me you forgot who I am already.

[smolderingf1re]

[well, that's an interesting roadblock in this hallway, on my way to feed my daughter. :|a but he knows Riku has been absent for some time, and she doesn't look injured, which is excellent, so he's hurrying over to get his hands under her arms and pull her out of the sand, reaching to brush her hair out of her eyes. Inaya's in her sling against his chest, and WAS chewing on her fingers until her daddy crouched down; now she's babbling and waving her arms.]

Riku? You alive in there?

[dawnrise]

[Oh she is most grateful for that help, thank you. She's not as weak as she looks, but she doesn't give him her complete attention until he speaks, looking from him first to the... baby suddenly in her vision. Apparently this is enough to stun her into silence.]

[smolderingf1re]

[Axel smiles at that, giving Inaya a hand to hold onto to distract her.]

You okay? You've been gone a while.

[missing-crayon.livejournal.com]

[Oh heeeeey. She's heard about you! You're the one who can kick Daddy's Ri's butt!

At least she thinks that's who it is. She cant be sure as she hadn't met you earlier. But she's rushing over now to help!]

[dawnrise]

[Yep, that's definitely her. Wait until she's regained her strength some and she'll amaze you with her tales of butt-kicking. What tales.

For now she just looks up at the sound of footsteps, squinting at the girl in confusion.]

[captive_destiny]

[that's certainly not something you see every day. Riku stands staring until it finally sinks in that this person is alive, after which he'll hurry over to check on her. she looks familiar, but he's sure he hasn't seen her in a long time.]

R... Riku?

[dawnrise]

Mmmn.

[Definitely alive! And looking a bit dazed, as it goes. She looks up when her name is called, though, focusing on him wearily. The sight of him is quite reassuring, though, if just because he's a double.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*was there a Sora leaning against that wall to tie his shoe? he might be squashed under about a ton of sand now*

[dawnrise]

[...oops.

Well, if there's anyone maybe in there for her to bump into when she starts trying to dig herself out, Riku might scramble to get away in panic.]

[littlest-prince.livejournal.com]

[SOME TIME LATER, AFTER RIKU HAS TALKED TO ALL THESE PEOPLE.

there is a tiny person who has noticed that the spiders on Riku's door are missing, so he's just standing in front of it and staring at the door as though it'll suddenly open and reveal his "sister."]

[dawnrise]

[Unfortunately, there is no one inside. But that's only because, having finished catching up and doing everything she needed to do involving her friends, Riku has been busy getting the things she needed to make her room suitable for habitation again. Fortunately, that's her turning the corner of the hall with her arms full of bedsheets. It's a miracle she doesn't drop them.]

Kai?

[stillatrap.livejournal.com]

[hi, malexion is going to stumble upon girlku later, probably after she's already been assaulted by two dozen people. but he'll still freeze up when he sees her, like he can't quite believe his eyes.]

[dawnrise]

[He will probably spot her once she's found more normal clothes, then, and will probably spot her first! But since she's so... overwhelmed and not used to feeling everyone, and because he's still not as common as some people in the DR, and because she'd recognize him anywhere, she'll notice him almost immediately.]

Xion...
