Not a good day

[windup_boytoy]

[Maybe it's the basket of spilled clean laundry in the hallway that will tip people off. Or maybe it's the massive burst of Darkness that's raging out of control from a nearby room. Anyone who investigates will find Ri convulsing on the floor, unable to reign in his Darkness because of the pain. It's sad, really, because this is such a cheerful looking room, all set up for a little boy who likes dinosaurs, or pirates, or maybe pirate dinosaurs.]

[He's going to crawl over, then, and sit down next to him.]

[windup_boytoy]

[Ri starts to return to consciousness slowly, wondering why he feels like he got stomped on by a behemoth]

[reversedestiny]

[Because bad things happened, Ri. Still, just sitting next to.]

[windup_boytoy]

... wha--?

[Ri chokes and coughs harshly, his throat hurts terribly and he doesn't know why]

[reversedestiny]

Ri...?

[Here, have a small Cure spell. >: ]

[windup_boytoy]

[that helps, but Ri still looks pretty sick and in pain]

... S-sora?

[reversedestiny]

Yeah.

[Still sitting next to you. He wishes he could help more. >: ]

[windup_boytoy]

What...?

[why is he laying on an unfamiliar floor?]

[reversedestiny]

...Darkness was coming out of you. I finally got you out of that room.

[windup_boytoy]

What? I don't--

[he was... doing laundry; that's the last thing he remembers]

[reversedestiny]

It doesn't matter. You kept... Calling me 'bug.

[...Can you smell the jealousy, Ri?]

[windup_boytoy]

[no because Ri's dense about things like this]

'bug? 'bug's here?

[reversedestiny]

...No. You thought I was him.

[....Welp, Sora's not gonna mention it.]

[windup_boytoy]

... oh.

[Ri looks suddenly pained and terribly sad, because for a moment there he thought his son came back]

[reversedestiny]

[...Which just makes Sora feel even more jealous. Oops.]

Sorry, he's didn't.

[windup_boytoy]

It's...

[Ri can't say it's okay because it's not, so he's just going to wince and continue to wonder why he feels so horrible]

[reversedestiny]

You'll be okay now, right?

[Because if so, Sora wants to get out of here and go beat up on a pillow.]

[windup_boytoy]

I... I can't feel my legs.

[reversedestiny]

...I can't carry you for long.

[He'll cast another Cure spell, this one a bit stronger. Hopefully, it helps. Otherwise, there might be a problem.]

[windup_boytoy]

What... happened to me?

[that Cure certainly helps some more; now Ri just has to re-orient himself]

[reversedestiny]

I dunno. I walked in, found darkness going everywhere.

[Have another, just in case.]

[windup_boytoy]

I don't understand. That's... not supposed to happen. Not to me.

[at least now Ri doesn't look like death warmed over! but he's putting a hand over his chest in a worrying fashion]

[reversedestiny]

...

[Sora takes note, but he's still a little emotionally hurt.]

...Will you be all right now?

[windup_boytoy]

I... yes. I think so.

[he suddenly feels like an old man]

Thanks... for helping me.

[reversedestiny]

No problem.

[And then Sora gets up and begins to walk away. Seeming kind distant, isn't he, Ri?]
