[Greetings DR, here's a new... well, she's not exactly a newcomer anymore having arrived a good while ago, she did her research first by thoroughly indulging one or two of her top ten favourite activities: lurking and eavesdropping.

Now Xigbar's got it all down, she's all set to engage another of her top ten: being a dick with gravity. Which is why pretty much anything and anyone that visits this hallway shall find themselves experiencing a distinct lack of it.

Spotting the culprit isn't too hard, even with her hood up the style of her coat is pretty distinctive and even if that didn't tip anyone off, she's still the only thing in the hallway not bolted down that's firmly planted on a surface. Sure the surface is the wall, but her choice in vertical hardly matters when you find yourself unable to maintain one.]

Wha - huh - oh!...

[It's caught this kid for a loop, anyway. There is now an itty bitty version of the boss (well, give or take) looking rather confused at the situation.

... Not in a bad way, though. Flying. Freaking awesome. The lack of control's not so great, but the rest...

He laughs, letting himself drift along by.]

[~~All he needs to do is get the hang of momentum.~~
In the meantime Xigbar, seemingly obliviously, continues lazily pacing along the wall. After all, it's totally not her doing, right?]

[He's spotted her, okay. On one hand, he's been told that you don't talk to the folks in the black coats.
On the other, well. Giving her a wave and a grin as he scoots by - at least working out what he can bounce off somewhat - isn't exactly talking, now, is it?]

[She probably fits as an example of a reason that you don't talk to the folks in the black coats but she'll wave back, ~~because she's pretty friendly and personable 'till she wrecks people's shit by having a finger in ALL the pies.~~]

[~~mmmmm, all the pies...~~

A little bit more bouncing around, and he'll stop by again for a moment. ... Well. No-one's going to find out, and all.]

... You're not trying it?

[Obviously hasn't noticed one little detail here.]

Simple little man, I can do it whenever I want.

[Not necessarily a confession, she'll totally just claim the lack of gravity right now is being caused by the DR.]

[Hanging around for a moment to regard her, well, as far as he can control it-]

Huh. Well... alright.

[This is Not Good. Riku's very out of his element when the ground suddenly disappears, arms coming up protectively in anticipation of a painful fall.]

[ No fall for you, but floating off in the general direction left over momentum sent him on on the other hand...
For now she's just sitting cross-legged on her wall watching to see how he reacts.]

[It takes him a minute to realize he isn't actually falling, though he managed to lose his cane. He slowly bumps his shoulder and back of his head against the ceiling, and lets out a sound more of shock than terror.]

[She snickers at the sound, shock being generally more amusing than terror for the given situation. (After all, some byproducts of terror aren't especially pleasant in anti-grav situations.)

Since she doesn't imagine he'd notice, she thieves the free-floating cane with a small portal.]

[His ears are quick to pick up on that sound, and his head jerks in her direction even as he tries to find something to hold on to. His fingers manage to brush the ceiling, but he's already drifting too far from it.]

Who's there?

Guess!
[The comment comes with a sing song tone. Since she's gathered some degree of vision impairment is involved, and she's really not for the straight answers, she figures she can kill two birds with one shot by getting a clue in on world differences from a guess while seeing how long it takes to lead him to a conclusion without outright stating it. Or just to dick him around, that works too and she isn't terribly picky.]

[Perhaps if it had been a male voice he'd be able to guess, but as it is, Riku's at a loss. Not knowing which way is up any longer is quickly disorienting him, as well.]

Sorry, but you don't sound like anyone I know.

[It's not much, but it's still information she can work with. Longer sentences probably would have helped Riku too, given Xigbar's is a pretty distinct accent even as a woman, but hey, who knows, she could still easily be one of those random anomalies outside the usual population pool.]

Awww, that's no fun at all.

[He's starting to think her voice is coming from the ground, unaware that she's really sitting on a wall.]

Mind helping me down to where you are?

[Since a specific down wasn't specified Riku can enjoy a nice sideways fall, only slightly slowed, to wreak havoc on his inner-ear as if a lack of gravity wasn't doing enough of that.]

[He swallows the scream at how sudden that was, and is even more disoriented now. Riku almost looks ill.]
