riku

(no subject)

[ Here's a Riku, about sixteen-seventeen years old, wearing casual clothes with a shockingly short haircut. Overall, doesn't stick out enough to approach. But she's asleep, dangling mid-air, slightly reclined, the Way to Dawn hanging from her grip. If anyone does approach her, they might get a surprise.]

[ooc: and then I canon updated. Riku's been missing from the DR since July 25th. There will probably be spoilers for KH3D as I'm pulling her post-game. (That's why she looks a little younger than she should - it won't last.)]

[She sits up and plants her hand on the bat again, who coos contentedly and rubs up against it. She smiles on reflex, then stands up fully.]

Mm. But... I don't think I am.

Probably not, then.

[He waits to see if she needs help up, then stands up himself.]

Your buddy doesn't seem to like me.

[No, she's got it. She looks down at her hands, as if expecting something different.]

I think he's just a little surprised. So am I.

You're not the only one.

[What was she expecting?]

...no, I guess not.

[She looks at him, or mostly at his hair - she knows how Rikus look well enough, thanks.]

Do you know where we are?

[He shakes his head.]

No. I've been trying to figure it out myself. It seems familiar, but I don't remember visiting a world like this one.

[She nods, scratching the back of her head.]

I think I do know where we are. You wouldn't have visited it.

...How do you know?

Because I know this place. It's not a place you can just visit.

[She waves the bat away, then looks around her, trying to judge where she is. The memories of this place are hitting hard, all at once, and it's making her head hurt. She even flinches, apparently at nothing.]

[Come over to him, bat. He'll love you for the time being. He looks a little worried when she flinches, as he doesn't know exactly why.]

What's it called?

[It's bad enough that she's pressing a hand to her head, eyes narrowed.]

Uh... CC.

CC?

[Maybe he should wait for questions until the memory migraine goes away.]

Candy Corn.

[She has an almost sheepish smile on her face as her expression relaxes.]

The bat or the world?

[He's not sure which one they're talking about anymore.]

[She snorts and rubs her face, shaking her head.]

The bat. The world is called the Dressing Room.

Cute name.

[He really does think so!]

[She smirks.]

The bat or the world?

The bat. The world name makes no sense.

It's a long story.

[She tilts her head up, staring at the ceiling, and then looking around them.]

I feel like I should know why, but I can't quite figure it out.

You will. Come on.

[She gestures for him to follow her as she heads down the hall.]

[What, yes. Following.]

Uh, sure.

[The bat moves along with her, and Riku looks around often as she walks, to figure out where they are.]

[He'll try to touch the bat if he gets within arm's range of it.]

Did you bring any more of these with you, or just this guy?

I didn't mean to bring him. He just sort of came with me on his own, I guess.

[It doesn't really make sense, but Riku's not going to question it right now. There's too much more that's more important. Bat won't mind touching at all, if we're talking affectionate touch.]
