let's do this bandwagon thing

[clockworknomore]

[It's a fairly normal day/night/whenever in the DR, and various people are busy doing their own little things.

clockworknomore and windup_daddy are actually in the training room, which is somewhat strange since the 'cousins' try to avoid each other most of the time. Daddy has Soul Eater out while 'Riku' is double-wielding a pair of matched scimitars, and they both seem to be going all out against each other. It's about to get dangerous.

clockworkboytoy has found a room with a scale replica of what the DR looked like when it had an outside environment. And it is currently growling and stomping around while wearing this outfit. It is having great fun knocking over buildings.

windup_boytoy still reeks of Darkness... more than usual, anyway. There's a deep frown on his face as he looks for something new to read in the library. He lingers in the home improvement section, before shoving the books back onto the shelves roughly.

And as for daddyhasagun, well, you might have just heard her muffled shriek. She's currently clawing these posters off the walls of the hallway. Unfortunately, the posters seem to be lining every hallway and are prominently featured in the various common areas and kitchens. Kira is very scandalized over this whole thing.]

[At this rate, he may be the one leading Ri. If he hears anything Ri's saying, he doesn't show it.]

[windup_boytoy]

[Ri doesn't mind following, if only to keep Riku safe; he's really out of his depth here]

Riku? Come on...

[boy_of_twilight]

[He's about to see someone attempt to make a sandwich in their sleep, then. The problem is, he's going by how the kitchen in Destiny Islands was set up. Bread was easily found on the counter, but the fixings should be in the fridge and not a cabinet. At least he hasn't gone for the knife yet.]

[windup_boytoy]

... you know my sandwiches are better than yours.

[Ri is a little confused over whatever Riku is dreaming, but maybe a hug will help]

[boy_of_twilight]

[It's more that he's on autopilot than dreaming. The hug doesn't get much of a response at all, but it's a good place to be when Riku ends up spilling a bunch of pots and pans from the cabinet with enough noise to drown out an orchestra. It's enough to wake him up, which has him flinging his arms out in alarm and flailing.]

[windup_boytoy]

[Ri will just hold Riku tight so he doesn't hurt himself]

Riku! Riku, it's okay! I've got you.

[boy_of_twilight]

[His eyes are open, but not all the lights are on yet. This isn't where he remembered being, and his feet stumble before he realizes he's standing, arms swinging out wildly. As close to him as Ri is, it's the safest place to be for a few minutes as Riku's brain catches up to what's going on with his body.]

[windup_boytoy]

[Ri will hold on for as long as it takes, hoping Riku will calm down and stop freaking out]

Riku! Riku, it's me, Ri. It's alright.

[boy_of_twilight]

[He still looks very confused when he does, relaxing against Ri once he recognizes his voice.]

Ri? What's going on?

[windup_boytoy]

You were sleepwalking. I tried to guide you back to our room, but you insisted on going here.

[boy_of_twilight]

I was? What was I doing?

[It's slowly filtering in that they're in the kitchen, and that Ri's still got arms around him. He puts his own arm over Ri's to keep him there.]

[windup_boytoy]

As far as I can tell, trying to make a sandwich.

[boy_of_twilight]

With... pans?

[He definitely doesn't remember anything like that. He doesn't even remember dreaming.]

[windup_boytoy]

You made it to the bread, at least. Pretty good considering that you were asleep.

[boy_of_twilight]

How long was I doing that?

[windup_boytoy]

... before or after you found me in the library?

[boy_of_twilight]

What was I doing there?

[windup_boytoy]

Why are you asking me? You were the one sleepwalking!

[boy_of_twilight]

I don't know what I was doing! You're the one who found me.

[windup_boytoy]

And you were asleep. You didn't exactly answer my questions.

[boy_of_twilight]

I think I'd be more worried if I had.

[windup_boytoy]

... you have a point there.

[Ri will rubs Riku's back gently]

Are you feeling okay now?

[boy_of_twilight]

I... Yeah, I think so. I think I almost had a heart-attack when I woke up though.

[He still looks tired from not having had any proper sleep tonight (Morning? He has no idea.) Having Ri there to answer his questions helped a lot. After a moment, he simply turns and envelops Ri in a hug.]

[windup_boytoy]

Sorry. I was trying not to wake you up, since all the books say you shouldn't wake sleepwalkers.

[Ri will hug back, as long as Riku needs to settle himself]

[boy_of_twilight]

[It will be a good few minutes, and Ri might notice when he takes a slower, deeper breath. He'll certainly notice when Riku slides a hand over Ri's shoulder to press his palm against Ri's chest just over his Heart. He can feel and scent all the Darkness there, and how there's more than usual, but he doesn't say anything about it just yet.]
