[Destiny Islands. He hasn't really been here since he destroyed it, but visiting this room gives him... Mixed feelings. He sits on the paopu tree, staring out at sea, wondering if a creature like him--a Heartless--is even worthy of the light of this world. He stares at one of his hands, frowning at it. How long until he reverts? Does the spell last forever? Mm... Maybe he should find someone else to make a deal with, to reinforce his human form.

But for now, maybe, the Heartless will try and enjoy the sea breeze and the light.]

Come on. I know just the place for you.

[Ri will motion Sora to follow him, and lead him down the hallways; Sora will be meeting another member of his family that he probably wouldn't remember, considering how he changed]

[dealwithawitch]

[Sora will just quietly follow.]

I don't know if just Darkness will, uh, feed you properly. But I know someone who can help you more in this... situation.

[they end up in a little-used hallway that seems rather deserted, except for the scent of Darkness that's remarkably similar to Ri's; he'll be knocking on a door]

Open up! I know you know I'm here.

[aaaand the door will open, revealing a rather sleepy-looking young man wearing only pyjama bottoms]

... you're so noisy, Uncle Ri. Can't a guy get any sleep?

[dealwithawitch]

[Sora's gonna peek out from behind Ri and blink.]

...Hi.

[windup_daddy]

Don't be rude in front of guests. Especially when they need your help.

[Daddy will be helpfully pushing Sora forward]

[clockworknomore]

[he looks surprised to see Sora, especially when he realizes that this Sora-shaped person is a Heartless]

Heartless? What could you need my help for? Uncle Ri, just because I'm friends with Heartless doesn't mean you can have them all camp on my doorstep.

[dealwithawitch]

Um... Ri said you could help me find food...?

[gjkld Ri, why you do this to him?]

1/2

[clockworknomore]

Oh. Right. Come on in then. You, too, Uncle Ri. I thought you didn't approve of my... habit.

[he'll hold the door open for everyone; his place is totally a bachelor pad, with a big TV, video game systems, and somewhat questionable tidying skills]

I don't. It completely creepy. But Sora can't be running around attacking people because he's hungry.

[Ri sighs when he sees the inside of the apartment, what with it's wal covered in all sorts of bladed weapons on racks... and especially the shelves along one side, where there are a number of jars, each with a floating Heart inside]

[dealwithawitch]

[...Those hearts will have his attention immediately. Feeding off of other Heartless doesn't exactly work well when trying to satisfy the hunger for hearts. So he'll reach over and kind of just. Take Ri's hand to keep himself grounded. He is still, after all, just a Shadow even if he doesn't look like it.]

[windup_daddy]

Calm down, Sora. It'll be okay. He doesn't mind sharing, right?

[that last sentence was quite pointed and aimed at his 'nephew']

2/2

[clockworknomore]

Of course not. Now maybe you'll appreciate the hard work I go through to keep my friends fed.

[he'll be plucking up one jar and handing it to Sora]

Go ahead.

[dealwithawitch]

[When the jar is handed to him, he'll quickly open it--almost frantically--and then reach in. That heart? Will quickly be devoured, as if Sora hasn't eaten in ages. Which he kind of hasn't. But this definitely has him feeling better.]

Th-Thanks.

1/2

[windup_daddy]

[Daddy will be politely not watching since seeing a Heart get devoured isn't really pleasant for him, even if it's not a normal... Heartless-Heart-devouring situation]

2/2

[clockworknomore]

[he doesn't care if people eat Hearts, since lots of his friends do, it's the attacking that's the problem]

Don't mention it. You can always have more, just don't eat my whole stash. Uncle Ri, you're not going to teach him how to...

[he makes a vaguely rude looking gesture that means 'omnomnom']

Re: 2/2

[dealwithawitch]

Huh?

[Looking between the two. He's just currently basking in the feeling of... Finally having had something to eat, sob.]

1/2

[windup_daddy]

I don't even know if he could actually do it. It's a Heart thing, not a general Darkness one.

[don't you love vague conversations?]

2/2

[clockworknomore]

Whatever. You're probably just cranky because you can't do it anymore with your strict diet, old man.

[dealwithawitch]

...What're you guys talking about?

[Still looking between them.]

[clockworknomore]

[Daddy is too busy sputtering with outrage to answer]

We can absorb Darkness. From... just about anybody or anything that has it. You've probably never seen Ri in a full-on fight, but there's a reason why people who hate him try really hard to avoid being touched by him. It's not a power I'm all that good at using, but Ri can do it so fast it'll make your head spin.

[dealwithawitch]

Wow, really?

[Why didn't you teach him that, Ri?]

[windup_daddy]

[here is Daddy looking cranky]

Don't make it sound like it's easy. It's dangerous, and it can be addicting. We don't just take Darkness, we can take powers and make them our own.

[dealwithawitch]

Oh, really?

[HE WOULD LOVE TO DRAIN "DAD" OF HIS POWERS AT THIS POINT. 8| Then he would have a human form without deals.]

[windup_daddy]

... I don't like that look in your eyes, Sora. It's a dangerous thing to do. It can go wrong if you're not careful.
