[There's a very... Odd Riku Replica walking along the hallways. He's looking for a library, and there's a book tucked under his arm. Not too much out of the norm, right? Except that foul stench of darkness is probably distinct.

Xehanort's.]

Comments

[rainxfallen]

[Not so foul for her, but definitely familiar. The body that goes with it however, not so much.

She's watching him though, unsure whether or not to approach.]

[corrodedcopy]

I know it's around here somewhere...

[He'll duck in a door for a moment, then back out. He's beginning to get annoyed. Maybe he should just portal there....

He hasn't noticed you just yet, Aqua.]

[rainxfallen]

[...Her curiosity is overpowering her caution.]

Lost?

[corrodedcopy]

Just looking for a library. I could have sworn one was nearby.

[WHERE IS IT........]

[rainxfallen]

Ah. It's this way.

[Starts down a hallway, pausing only to check if he's following.]

[corrodedcopy]

[He'll be following.]

Thank you.

[rainxfallen]

[Nods.


A few hallways down they'll find the library. And Aqua is still trying to figure out what to make of Replinort. She can't be sure she can trust someone just cause they're a nort. Not in this place.]

[clockworkboytoy]

[sniff sniff sniff comes from this little Replica peering at the other from around a corner]

...You are terrible and ILU.

[corrodedcopy]

[This Replica will pause and look back to him.]

Can I help you?

there's nothing terrible about a tiny Replica!

[clockworkboytoy]

You smell funny.

[alas the Replica has been badly socialized and it shows]

it is, however, terrible to throw him at a Nort.

[corrodedcopy]

Pardon?

[He'll deal with it when he realizes.]

no one ever said it had self-preservation instincts

[clockworkboytoy]

I said you smell funny. Like kinda bad. Did you remember to take a shower? Kai says it's good to take a shower every day.

[let's see how long that takes]

Poor kid.

[corrodedcopy]

Tell me: can you smell the darkness?

[oh my god you are so annoying.]

Blame Marluxia!

[clockworkboytoy]

... oh. Is that what it is? But you don't quite smell like the Heartless either.

[it is comparing you to a Shadow, actually]

You should still take showers though.

Don't take darkness from strangers, especially Norts. It's like human cordyceps.

[corrodedcopy]

I do. I was simply finding the source of what you were smelling: my darkness. And I'm not a Heartless. I'm a normal person.

[Ahahahaha, "normal."]

Someone should warn Ri of that

[clockworkboytoy]

You've got a lot of Darkness then, since you smell really bad!

[no it doesn't realize that it has just insulted you]

Look up cordyceps. 8> Be terrified.

[corrodedcopy]

["Repliku" will walk over and pat Ri on the head. Don't worry--he's connected the dots and realize he seems to be almost a child in mentality.]

I have to. I need it for something very important.

I know it from TWEWY XD;;

[clockworkboytoy]

[tiny Replica not Ri likes headpats! and it helps that it physically looks like a young 13 or so]

I need to be strong for something important, too!

Parasitic fungus for the terror?

[corrodedcopy]

[Good, good!]

Oh? Do you mind telling me?

it's actually chinese herbal medicine XD

[clockworkboytoy]

I'm gonna be strong so I can be Real and be Riku! He's afraid of his Darkness, so I'm better.

Well, yeah. But Xehanort might as well be a human cordyceps. That's scary.

[corrodedcopy]

Real, hm? I became real. I welcomed the darkness you smell into my heart. But... I'm not Riku.

[Don't listen to him, kid! Run!]

then they can chop him up for medicine!

[clockworkboytoy]

You're Real now?!

[it looks quite excited by this]

Did you Creator finish you then? How strong did you have to be to get done?

Pffft.

[corrodedcopy]

Someone else finished me. Vexen was long since dead.

it could happen :/

[clockworkboytoy]

He can't be dead! Creator has to finish me first!

That would be amusing.

[corrodedcopy]

Burned to death, I'm afraid. A tragedy.

[Have a reassuring hand on the shoulder.]

Maybe in the next game!

[clockworkboytoy]

[tiny Replica now looks very upset about this information]

But he can't go away! He said he'd finish me. He's not gone yet. He can't.

I now want this to happen.

[corrodedcopy]

Perhaps I could help finish you.

[After all, he's Whole.]

pray to Nomura then

[clockworkboytoy]

You could? You know how to do that?

[it's such a trusting little thing, isn't it?]

[corrodedcopy]

Yes, I do. But you'll need to close your eyes. I want you to hold on to something for me.

[It's too easy. Much too easy. Even just a sliver of his own heart will work, growing into a new one. A new Xehanort.]

[clockworkboytoy]

.......................... is it your penis?

[yes it said what you think it said]

[corrodedcopy]

No. It's something else.

[Oh my god kid.]

Something you'll need to protect.

1/2

[clockworkboytoy]

Because Master would tell me to close my eyes and open my mouth and then he'd put his penis in it but Kai says that was bad and wrong and I shouldn't let anyone else put their penises into me because it's bad and wrong and if someone did, I should use my Christmas present it's right here.

[it fumbles in a pocket and pulls out a little whistle and... TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!]

2/2

[clockworknomore]

[congrats Xehanort, you've been RAEPWHISTLD! A portal will be opening up and this guy will be dropping out of it, looking around immediately for perverts!

........................ TARGET ACQUIRED]

Re: 2/2

[corrodedcopy]

[He'll sigh.]

I was going to give you a piece of my heart so you could grow on your own.

[Welp. Too late for that, he'll be drawing two ethereal blades of brilliant blue.]

I didn't hurt him.

1/2

[clockworkboytoy]

... oh, is that what the whistle does?

2/2

[clockworknomore]

[As there is no immediate RAEP happening, Replinort won't be immediately attacked. But 'Riku' will be making sure to stand between him and the tiny Replica, because he doesn't like those ethereal blades]

Yes, little one. This is what that whistle does. That's why Kai gave it to you.

[corrodedcopy]

[It's purely defensive, don't worry.]

He's been through some hard times, I take it.

1/2

[clockworkboytoy]

I'm not supposed to let perverts near me!

2/2

[clockworknomore]

['Riku' will be pinching the bridge of his nose]

Yes, that's right, little one. And you did the right thing with your whistle. I'll tell Kai you did well.

[and now he'll be giving Replinort a narrow-eyed look]

That's one way of putting it.

Re: 2/2

[corrodedcopy]

...I'm not a pervert.

[Oh my god where is the facepalm icon. The ethereal blades will be going away for now.]

I simply offered to help make him real. He took it the wrong way.

1/2

[clockworkboytoy]

[is totally distracted from the conversation because 'Riku' just gave it a box of animal crackers nomnomnom]

2/2

[clockworknomore]

He tends to do that from time to time. Which is why he has that whistle now.

[... he could say something totally snarky about perversion but will refrain for the moment]

And he doesn't need your help to be Real.

[corrodedcopy]

Why not? I became real. It was quite a wonderful thing.

[Smirking? Yup.]

[clockworknomore]

[being raised by a Prince of Heart means 'Riku' has a large amount of patience and high tolerance for bullshit]

Sorry, our family doesn't trust Xehanorts of any flavor. It's a thing.

[corrodedcopy]

Ah. So you were able to tell.

[He'll be smiling pleasantly.]

Quite good. I should applaud you.

[clockworknomore]

The scent sort of gives you away. It doesn't change, no matter what world you're from.

[corrodedcopy]

I suppose you're right. It's not like I could hide it.

[Not like he wants to, either.]

[clockworknomore]

Sort of not a Xehanort's style, from what I've seen. Also, the bad tan kind of gives you away.
