[a reclusive chinchilla Riku has appeared! his hair is getting quite long and has been pulled into a sloppy braid. he's dressed in a worn sweater and jeans with holes in the knees, a small box of children's books tucked against his side and a couple stuffed animals riding on top of it. he looks tired, but seems to be functioning pretty well! who knows why he's been so... not around though. he has been here, however.]

[fromshadow]

[ SQUEEEEEEEEEE. also the bird is going to start chirping loudly ]

[fromshadow]

So where'd you get your hat?

[yes he just called the bird a hat.]

[canarystars.livejournal.com]

It's not a hat! It's a birdie named Jimbo. He started following me after I got hit in the back with an arrow, and he sings to me sometimes! But right now he's sad, because his girlfriend Trudy just went to go tell the bunnies that I don't need anything right now.

[ srs face, nod. ]

[fromshadow]

[straight face, because frankly he's seen and heard of weirder here.]

And just what hit you that you've got animals everywhere?

[canarystars.livejournal.com]

A green arrow! And I got hit with another arrow, a orange one, it gave me a big flower on my ear! But it went away..

[fromshadow]

Arrows, huh. Must be that time of year...

[he honestly lost track of time. sort of forgot about Valentine's Day. whoops.]

[canarystars.livejournal.com]

What time?

[ derp. ]

[fromshadow]

Well, it's too late for it to be caused because of New Year's... so it must be because of Valentine's Day.

[canarystars.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh.. the holiday with love and stuff?

[fromshadow]

Yeah, exactly. I'd almost forgotten about it.

[canarystars.livejournal.com]

You can't forget about it, Chichi! If you forget about it, you won't find someone to love!

[ what is her logic. ]

[fromshadow]

[faint wince is go, but he pushes a smile over it.]

I'm okay with that. I've got you and Riku. It might not be the same, but I think it's good enough.
