[ Something is wrong with the dressing room. At least, that's what Riku thinks.

Today? Today was her birthday! She's twenty years old now, and she feels so old compared to most other Rikus. But today went as any birthday should. She slept as long as she wanted (most of the day, given her vampire costume), and it's a nice evening with clear skies and bright stars. She's been walking around town, along the boardwalk at the beach, hands in her pockets. The absence of a cake hasn't bothered her, because she can't eat food anyway, and so far no sentient pastries have shown up to ruin her day. It's been completely and utterly normal.

Riku could not possibly be feeling more paranoid. She would probably jump if someone went 'boo'. ]

RIIIIKUUUUU!

[Hey there, Riku. Incoming blue balls (of snow) in three.. two.. one.. ]

[dawnrise]

What?

[Wait what it's too early for snowballs. Thank the DR for her vampire reflexes. She'll dodge anything, at least.]

[summer_poprocks]

Look! I can make snow!

[He didn't think any would manage to hit her, but he's still laughing gleefully as he runs up to her. It may be a relief to her that he doesn't smell human at all right now.]

[dawnrise]

You can what?

[He smells pleasantly of ice and winter, and it is indeed quite welcome, even though Riku has managed to get control over her vampire impulses since the last time she saw him. Mostly.]

[lightyin]

[What does she think of the Riku that suddenly appears in her path a little ways ahead? From above, no less, having literally leaped off the roof of the nearest building after spotting her.]

[dawnrise]

[She thinks she is going to jump back into a battle-ready stance because wtf is going on.]

[lightyin]

[He (well, she, as he's still both girl-shaped and has kitty parts) holds up his hands to show that he's not going to attack. He's also wearing this shirt (with a shirt under it, of course) because apparently he also needs to be more holiday appropriate a week before Halloween.]

Sorry if I startled you.

[dawnrise]

[Hello attractive catgirl clone, how are you today. Riku raises an eyebrow at him, but relaxes considerably.]

It's fine.

[A little ways up the beach you might be able to hear the sound of a sword fight as this one battles a group of heartless with his sword. Though not in his usual clothes (http://i2.listal.com/image/1184471/500full.jpg), the way the sword is on fire might help indicate who this pirate usually is.]

[dawnrise]

[Oh. Roxas has a pretty average costume, huh? Pirate clothes, flaming sword... yep, totally average. But even if she wouldn't be approaching him otherwise, the Heartless have her summoning her keyblade as she runs up to him.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[It doesn't seem like he even needs that fire advantage with the way he's swinging that sword around expertly, but that skill definitely came with the costume. When he spots her, he's grinning, lunging to stab a heartless through the middle.]

Hey! Come to join the party?

[Bye bye, neoshadow! WHOOSH]

[dawnrise]

Looks like an open invitation, to me.

[She's not joining in just yet, though, because she's distracted checking out Roxas's new fighting moves.]

Where'd you learn to do that?

[before]

Boo.

[Hey, it was your idea. He's gone and masked his scent, though he has no idea exactly how good her senses are right now, so it may not have been enough to completely hide it.]

[dawnrise]

[She does jump, but only because she's startled. Not scared. But she is whipping around to look for him.]

[before]

[He's a little ways behind her, possibly having followed her for a few minutes now.]

Yo.

[dawnrise]

[She's surprised, because she didn't catch the scent of his darkness or his blood. Damn Halloween Town natives.]

How long have you been there?

[seasides]

Rikuuuuu!

[guess who's coming your way, Riku~. with a box, all tied up with a bow~.]

[dawnrise]

[Oh god, what. GEE I WONDER WHO IT COULD BE IS IT ROXAS no it's much better.]

Hey.

[seasides]

[well he's probably the only person who'd be clopping instead of walking her way right now. when he reaches her, he holds the box out.]

Here.

[dawnrise]

[Pfft, god, why. She takes it, more at ease with Kai than she would be with anyone else. She's almost still expecting something to jump out and bite her, though.]

What's this?

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[There's someone out in the water waving to Riku, if she happens to look up. Actually, upon closer inspection... it's more like someone out on the water. Kairi seems to be trying to balance on top of the water's surface, though the tide is causing a bit of an issue.]

[dawnrise]

[She's looking all over the place for incoming disasters today, so yes, she does notice her... and does a complete double-take. Water-walking. That's new.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[It's certainly new for Kairi, who seems to be having a bit of a tough time keeping balance. She hasn't fallen in yet though, so that's a plus?]

[tasty-evil.livejournal.com]

[What is this? It is a small table with a platter of cupcakes on it! They even have candles and there is a cheerful crayon sign that says: 'HAPY BIRFDAE'. How can you resist such a thoughtful gift?]

[dawnrise]

[Because she can't eat food, that's why. The perks of being a vampire. The second she notices it she will freeze, then start walking backwards away from it. No.]
