[ We all know how that Riku has taken to the change, but what about some others?

There are other people, like, say, a

healerclass who has taken to the second story window a nice little home to peer around with a pair of large hot pink binoculars. She's watching this

knighttildawn patrol the bridge in armor. On the other side of the neighborhood, an

dawningcoast has dropped her bags of groceries she was taking home to haul ass after her son. Baby Aden has decided that clothes are unnecessary. As for the older

hallowedshore? He's not actually sure he likes this change. He's sticking to the apartments for now, sitting on the roof with his legs hanging dangerously over the edge.

Down below, a

hidesandseeks is going around trying to figure out where all of her friends and family now live, and

royaltentacles is slinking through alleyways only once night has fallen. No one probably cares where

thundery is, and that's just fine with him. He's laid claim to a pretty little castle. ]

[ ooc: well since everyone's doing it ♥ ]

[hopefully nothing's drowned in there. he's going to swim towards the beach, because his energy's a little depleted and he can feel all of that Darkness from making the portals weighing heavily on the Light side of his heart. he needs a little rest before he can get them back.]

Where did your mom end up? My parents are in the apartment towards the lower level, but Mama really wants a house of their own.

[There may be a critter or two swimming up to the surface. Aden will just let them go, though one long and spiny thing may be climbing into his hair. Either way, he's following Rikka, in no particular rush to get back.]

Huh. I saw my mom walking around earlier with baby me. I think her and dad have their own house now.

[part of him would like to live in the house with his parents. but there's already a Rikka there, and he feels like a burden. he's giving a critical look to those creatures swimming up and hoping none of them are flesh-eating. it's not a terribly long swim to the shore, and as soon as they get there, Rikka's stripping his clothes to the waist to get rid of the weight.]

At least it's warm now.

[None of them are flesh-eating! Aden just kind of flops onto the ground once they reach land, wiggling his arms enough to shed his coat, but nothing else. Not yet, anyway. He flashes Rikka a grin, the spiny thing on the side of his face now.]

Good point.

[he seems pretty interested in this insect, reaching out to poke it gently.]

I like this one. It looks like a leaf. Can I pick it up?

Sure. Just be careful, they're pretty delicate.

[Bland taste, too, but he'll keep that to himself. He doesn't move his face, but he turns his eyes to look at the insect.]

Put your hand over her. She'll climb up.

[look how gentle he's being with your creepy crawler! he puts his hand over and lets her crawl on. he'll then draw his hand closer, very slowly, and watches her intently.]

[As soon as she's off of him, Aden's sitting up, running his hands through his air to slick it back. The insect looks more or less content on his hand, and will climb up on top if he gives her any sort of nudge. Aden's watching, just out of interest. Leaf insects aren't really dangerous at all.]

[he's very gentle with it nevertheless, and he does totally nudge her so that she walks along his skin, smiling at the slight tickle.]

Named her yet?

[He smirks and watches her. She's such a relaxed little spiny leaf insect.]

No name yet. Care to do the honors?

Sure. How about...

[he's very gentle with her, but pokes her around a bit.]

'Bernadette'.

[She'll walk away from wherever she's prodded, but Aden's grinning.]

Sounds perfect.

[grins back.]

She'll be the only insect with a song named after her.

I wonder how she feels about that.
