[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.]

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?]

[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.]

... 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.

[clockworknomore]

Oh, ignore him. He's still upset that he's not allowed to do it anymore unless absolutely necessary. The power rush is pretty huge.

[dealwithawitch]

Hey, if I did it to anyone, it'd be my other adoptive dad. You know, the one who did this to me?

[He's very bitter, thank you.]

[windup_daddy]

[still grumbly and cranky]

That would be even worse. There's some people you don't want to take the Darkness of, because it'll end up poisoning you.

[dealwithawitch]

Fine, fine. I won't push it.

[...He'd still like to eat Ansem. 8| ]

[clockworknomore]

Don't worry, if he won't teach you, I will. Can't have you eating all the Hearts I have.

[dealwithawitch]

I'm not sure I should. I... Don't want to risk losing myself.

[Maybe he'll just try and find a Keyblader to hang out with and snatch hearts when they're released.]

[windup_daddy]

That's the right mindset to have. I'm not sure if you could even do it, or if it would help... feed you.

[maybe someone could help definitely]

[dealwithawitch]

[Sora nods, then smiles and looks to the other boy.]

By the way, I don't think I caught your name.

[clockworknomore]

[hey, he's 20 thank you very much; and he's going to be giving a little shrug]

You can call me 'Riku'.

[gee that sounds familiar]

[dealwithawitch]

All right, Riku. I'm... Sora, but I think you figured that out.

[He'll offer a hand to shake, since it's the polite thing AND HE HAS MANNERS.]

[clockworknomore]

Yeah, it was kind of noticeable.

[shaking hands! he doesn't put much stock in manners unless his Brother is watching, but having Ri here is just about the same]

Also, Uncle Ri tends to freak out more over Soras.

[dealwithawitch]

I noticed.

[If Ri hadn't taken care of him, he'd probably still be a douche, after all. 8|;;; ]

[windup_daddy]

You two are so unappreciative of me!

[dealwithawitch]

That's not true.

[You know he appreciates you, not!dad. >:]

[clockworknomore]

We just don't fawn over you like all your other little anklebiters.

[fanning the flames here]

[dealwithawitch]

[Riku, stop.]

You know I'm weird with showing affection, Ri.

[windup_daddy]

['Riku' lives to annoy Ri sometimes; btw has Sora realized something strange about him yet?]

I know, Sora. It's just this one that's maladjusted. Even if Kai raised him.
