[Kurt knew he shouldn't have taken that last left on his way back. It'd looked like a shortcut, but - well.

This corridor - wide corridor, narrow room, hard to tell - is ... cute.

Not just cute. Pastel, fluffy. An avenue of perfect little trees with perfect little apples on them leads down it, all decorated in ribbons. The walls look almost like they could be made of candy - perfect gingerbread house material. Little creatures - teddy bears, ponies, you name it - keep popping their heads out from upstairs windows. A stream winds back and forth across his track, with brilliantly yellow little ducks quacking their happy way along. And can he hear music?

For a Heartless, this is all rather ... disconcerting.

[No, no, this is creepy. Riku's wandering in shortly after, only to come to a complete stop to stare in disbelief. Kurt should be able to sense the Darkness practically rolling off him, with no small thanks to his symbiote.]

[agrabah_weapon]

[Okay, noticing that - phew, something normal feeling in all this ...mess. He turns, looking almost over a shoulder-]

Almost obscene, isn't it, boy?

[falltoshadow]

I'm not sure I want to know. It's giving me the creeps.

[agrabah_weapon]

I can hardly say I blame you. A distortion, a parody like this... [He gives a violent headshake.]

[falltoshadow]

Is good for target practice?

[Riku's expression is slowly forming into a cruel-looking smirk.]

[agrabah_weapon]

[That earns a cackling laugh.]

I believe I can see the merit in that idea.

[falltoshadow]

[He holds up one hand, a small ball of dark fire curling to life in his palm.]

Five points if you get a pony, ten if you get a bear?

[agrabah_weapon]

[Laughing even more-] Hah! Sounds fair.

[falltoshadow]

[Of course he's going to go for the bear. He's watching the windows with an air of competition, winding up like throwing a baseball to let fly as soon as he sees those furry little ears.]

[agrabah_weapon]

[There's a clap of clawed hands of approval, and the bear gives a sad little squeak.

Oh, dear.]

I can't fault your aim.

[falltoshadow]

[That squeak is music to his ears. Riku smirks again and steps back, gesturing grandly for Kurt to step up.]

After you!

[agrabah_weapon]

[Oh, bring it on, fuzzy. Spinning up a fireball, he'll be aiming for the next bear that shows up.

That was a really cute one, too. Blue. Damn.

And it sounded more to be growling...]

[falltoshadow]

[Riku cocks his head at the noise, then shrugs it off. They're stuffed bears, what are they going to do? Throw stuffing? He's taking down a pony next.]

[clockworknomore]

... who vomited rainbows over this place?

[he's not as badly affected by the display but it still grates on his sensibilities]

[agrabah_weapon]

I'd have had more tolerance for it if it had stopped at rainbows. This is vile.

[clockworknomore]

Actually, it looks like something one of my cousins would love.

[agrabah_weapon]

[With a curious tilt to his head-] Really?

[clockworknomore]

Uh huh. Kira. She loves everything cute and cuddly and disgustingly happy.

... she's full of Light.

[that probably explains everything]

[agrabah_weapon]

Ah. [He chuckles. It explains a lot.]

In that case - hah. I suppose I can see why she would have a taste for such a ... display.

[clockworknomore]

She's also a girl. I don't think they think the same as guys do.

[agrabah_weapon]

[Huh. Given such differences are largely cosmetic to Heartless, and Layla's hardly started asking about dates, he gives another curious look.]

How would you say?

[clockworknomore]

They just... are. They're... softer. Nicer, most of the time. They think about way too many things at once.

[oh great ask the Replica who's been badly socialized about girls :/]

[agrabah_weapon]

[His ex was a literal cosmic force of nature. He doesn't have the widest information base to work from.]

Hm. I see.

[clockworknomore]

[it's the blind leading the blind]

Girls are just... I think it's better to just agree with most of what they say even if it doesn't make sense. You get yelled at less that way.

[agrabah_weapon]

[Chuckling a bit-] I can say I've more things to worry about in life than if someone shouts at me.

[Such as imminent risk of stabby death 'n all.]
