It's been awhile;

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Here's someone the dressing room (though it's more like a world than a room now) hasn't seen in a while... to most he probably just looks like a regular newcomer Roxas, washed up on shore after just arriving. But...

Is that steam rising from his hair?]

[ooc: Long time DR player popping in to say hello! It's been awhile and I've missed all of you <3]

[Regular newcomer Roxas, huh? That's exactly what this Riku thinks he is, until she notices the steam. That? That's kind of weird, and she's pretty sure most Roxae don't do that. Hell, she's pretty sure most people don't do that. But she had sprinted over from the sidewalk anyway to make sure this 'newcomer' wasn't dead or going that way, and she crouches beside him with new concern.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Oh he's alive, but unconscious at the moment. The steam seems to get heavier as the water droplets evaporate off of him. Riku should definitely feel the small amount of heat radiating from him, which would be a pretty big hint to her specifically.]

[dawnrise]

[Yeah, she's seen that before, so it's a pretty damn big hint. Enough for her to grab his shoulder and start shaking.]

Roxas?

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[He stirs a bit, eyes fluttering open slowly. He tilts his head a bit to look up at her, definitely seeming confused.]

... Riku?

[dawnrise]

Yeah. Do you know who I am?

[She brushes his hair back and loosens her grip on his shoulder, moving it more beneath it so she can help him sit up if he needs to.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Of course I know who you are.

[He sits up slowly, groaning slightly. Guh. Water.]

When did you get here?

[dawnrise]

About three years ago. When did you get here?

[She uses her hand to help support him, shifting her legs so she's sitting instead of crouching.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

What? What do you mean three-

[And that's when he notices the different surroundings and stops short.]

Wait... where am I?

[dawnrise]

You're in the dressing room. It... a lot of things changed recently.

[She frowns.]

Do you need a cure?

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

No, I'm fine, I'm just... confused.

[He's jumping up to take a better look around now, the rest of the water finally evaporating off of him.]

How did I get back here? And what did I miss?

[dawnrise]

A lot. Exactly when did you leave? I haven't seen you in ages.

[She stands up too, taking a step back to give him space, and also so she can watch him and make sure he's not going to collapse or something.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure exactly... It's been a couple months for me.

[He seems to be doing just fine, too caught up staring at the new surroundings.]

[dawnrise]

Well that sounds right, anyway.

[She puts a hand on her hip, scowling at him just slightly. She's been worried, but like hell will she say so.]

Come on, I'll show you around.

[Steam whaaaaaat? Why were you in the water in the first place?

Hurries over, ready to cast cures and fire spells if needed.]

OH HAI

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't seem hurt, though the water has left him unconscious. A Firaga or two would definitely help him along, though.]

/kicks notifs

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[He can do that.

Brb blasting the younger version of his friends dad with fire!]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[To anyone else, this probably looks like a dangerous attack. But of course, it's actually helping, and Roxas is slowly blinking his eyes open, looking confused.]

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

Need any more?

[He's actually having fun here. Hey, it's not everyday he gets to throw fire at people.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[He sees him and breathes a bit of a weak laugh.]

Maybe one more.

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[FIRAGA TO THE FACE.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[And with that he's up and standing!]

Thanks.

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

Anytime.

[He means that.]

So. Why were you in there in the first place?

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

I'm not really sure. Last thing I remember, I was in the mansion, I usually don't go anywhere near the beach...

... and when did you get here?

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

....What mansion?

[Definitely doesn't sound familiar.]

I've been here since the floods...

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Floods?

[It takes him a couple minutes of confusion before he gets the idea to look around.]

... Am I back in the dressing room?
