[ Oh look, it's Riku. Yes, she's just as pleased with today's fashion as she was yesterday's. Can't say she can breathe any better in today's dress, but it... is more to her style. Much less pastel. But there's more interesting things to be found today.

Like the bridge that connects to Radiant Garden. What on earth happened to the bridge? Not only has it undergone a full change in design, but it... well, it's still under construction. Indeed, it's being built before one's very eyes, pieces falling into place, concrete and steel forming where it should magically. There are no workers, or anyone around at all, other than Riku. She's walking along a bare beam thin enough that her dress is spilling over the sides, arms held out for balance. ]

I'm... almost done. My shoes have a lot of buttons. You can come down now if you want.

[He has his nightgown rucked up to his knees, but her seeing that won't bother him. The shoes themselves go that high, and he finds unbuttoning them a tedious process.]

[She'll be peering out over the stairs, then.]

Do you need help?

Only if you want to get the other one.

[He's still about halfway down the first.]

Yeah, sure.

[She'll grab a stack of movies before she comes down, and set them on the table once she's there. Then she'll move on to the other shoe.]

[With someone actually so close to them, Roxas is more aware of how odd his legs look when one is so much skinnier than the other. There's a scar going across the muscle in the back of his calf, deep enough to have made him realize at some point that he's lucky to even still have the leg at all. It's sore from all the work it had to do today, so once he has his shoe off he's going to rub the muscle into loosening up a bit. He may also be trying to see what movies Riku brought down at the same time.]

[Oh, feel free to go through them while she gets to it. They're all of the more light-hearted animated Disney variety.]

[He's just looking at the pictures on the front and back to see the characters, since he still can't make heads or tails of what they say. One of them has him looking pretty confused. He holds it up questioningly for her to see; it doesn't have a cover like the others, being a simple black with white print: NEW YEARS EVE "FUN TIMES"]

What's this one about?

[When Riku looks up and sees the label her expression freezes. Beneath it, she is doing a very good job of hiding her horror and shock. Oh, god.]

......... It's a scary movie.

... You wanted to watch a scary movie? What's it say?

[He's frowning a little and flipping it over to look at the back, but all there is to see is more writing- a summary of New Year's escapades. This may be one of the times someone is thankful he can't actually make sense of it.]

It's about someone losing control of their body and going after their friends.

[And she is going to take it from him, silently thanking whatever God he follows.]

That is scary... and sad too. I think I'd rather watch this one, if it's okay with you.

[He's holding up one of the other movies with a couple of foxes, a bear and a lion on the cover.]

[She is so relieved, and smiles to show it! Not a chance in hell was he watching that other one. It's going to be burned.]

That sounds great.

[It would be interesting if for every copy she destroyed, two more popped up in its place. Once both of his shoes are off, Roxas is scooting back on the couch to rub his feet. They've got red marks where blisters were forming in various places, because he isn't used to any sort of shoe with a heel.]
