[before]

[Either the game room didn't get hit by the flood, or the electronics in it are already back in working order, because Red is currently occupying one of the racing game chairs. He's looking much healthier than he did when he first started coming back around, and the dressing room has turned him female yet again. It's an ongoing thing.

Oh, and for some reason he's dressed like this, complete with the hat and coat.]

[Akane's admiring his outfit!]

I'd have expected all of it to be fried.

[before]

It probably was.

[He's not looking away from the racing game, though now that Akane has spoken, his attention is partially on her.]

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah, I guess the room could have fixed it. ... So, you're Aden's dad, right?

[Wow, she can really see the resemblance between him and Aden up close. Even if he is a she right now (not like there's anyone else around here who looks like that.)]

[before]

[Whoops, did he just crash his car into a wall. Yes, yes he did. And he twitched rather harshly at that.]

No.

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

Umm, sorry, I meant the past version of him.

[before]

Still no. I'm never going to be him.

[Sore spot get. He doesn't like the idea of Aden.]

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

But...

[She hasn't wrapped her head around what a mess the timestream is at this point.]

[before]

But nothing. He still exists, isn't that good enough? I don't want to be him. I have no interest in Riku. I shouldn't even be capable of that.

[sparksthefire.livejournal.com]

[Of course Akane's a little stubborn. She got it from both her parents. But she does back off just a little.]

Not capable? Don't you have a Heart?

[Riku is naturally drawn to the same areas as Red, apparently. Actually, she has a very good reason for being in this hall. There's a large woven basket balanced against her hip, full of stuffed animals, toys, childrens' books and puzzles. The next step is videogames, and her intended destination in this room is the section with the handhelds, but Riku glances over at Red mid-way, having sensed him.

And her jaw drops.]

[before]

[If he's noticed her presence, he hasn't said anything, too distracted by the game. What an odd type of game for a Halloween Town resident to enjoy, huh?]

[dawnrise]

[...yeah. Yeah, odd types. ... Wait. Huh? He was playing a videogame? I'm sorry, she didn't notice.]

... Red?

[before]

[He just barely glances in her direction for a moment before focusing on the game again.]

Hey.

[dawnrise]

[Bzuh. Riku stares at him for another moment, then calmly continues on her way.]

Nice outfit.

[before]

You think? I didn't choose it.

[As if that wasn't obvious. Like he'd ever pick clothing like this.]

[dawnrise]

I figured that much out on my own.

[Not that what she said was entirely sarcastic...]

...where's your jacket?

[before]

My room. Couldn't trade this one for it so I left it there.

[What is with you and the jacket, Riku? /what]

[summer_poprocks]

[... he has never seen one of those. he doesn't understand exactly what it is he's seeing on the screen, but he's able to figure out from watching that turning the wheel makes the thing on the screen move.

brb staring.]

[before]

[If he doesn't say anything, Red won't be speaking. He's focused on the game, and would like to win~.]

[summer_poprocks]

[he's wandered closer, his eyes still on the screen. he'll stop a couple feet away, absently starting to lean with each turn he sees on the screen.]

[before]

[If he could see that, he'd laugh, but as it is, Roxas gets to watch him win in a few minutes instead.]

[summer_poprocks]

[it's only after the race is over that he happens to look down at the player- yes that was a very audible yelp from him!]

[before]

[The yelp makes him look over and raise an eyebrow.]

Problem?

[summer_poprocks]

Oh, ah.. For a moment I thought you looked...

[well, Red still does look dead, actually. Roxas is eying him dubiously.]

[before]

...dead? Demonic? Satanic? Like a zombie?

[He could probably throw a couple more on that list.]
