[ Across the DR at any given time, there are several things happening that may be connected, may have a purpose, or link back to the same cause. These are not examples because they're completely unrelated.

Out of the game room stumbles a Riku, looking disoriented and a little wide-eyed. She seems okay, but something is definitely off, to say the least. It's weird. She feels, and not just to herself, a little like Red.

In the simulation room, currently blank, there's Aden, bleeding profusely down his front. He's got his hand clamped over his nose, but it's not really helping. There's no saving his shirt. ]

[There's something he can't quite put his finger on here, but something seems different. Sorry Riku, but Sora doesn't realize he's staring as he tries to figure it out.]

[dawnrise]

[That's fine, she doesn't realize he is either right away. But then her eyes abruptly zero in on him.]

Sora?

[unforgivenskies]

[He straightens abruptly, snapping out of it.]

Uh. Hi, Riku.

[dawnrise]

[She squints at him, nose wrinkling a little in confusion. Almost like she doesn't recognize him.]

Hey.

[unforgivenskies]

You seem a little.. what?

[Does he have something on his face? He's going to raise a hand to check.]

[dawnrise]

...sorry. I'm not- I feel a little off.

[She shakes her head and pulls away from the doorframe, looking up at nothing at all.]

[unforgivenskies]

Maybe you should lie down.

[dawnrise]

No. It's not that kind of 'off'. I can't- explain it.

[But she taps her chest, right over her heart.]

[daddyhasagun]

[Did someone mention a bloody shirt? As in a shirt that is ruined because blood is so hard to get out of clothing? Is that what's happening here?]

[hallowedshore]

[Completely ruined. It's terrible, it looked good on him, too.]

[daddyhasagun]

[Kira will be standing here with her arms crossed. Staring at Aden. Judging.]

[hallowedshore]

[Wait for it......

Achoo!]

[daddyhasagun]

[Well.

That was somewhat unexpected.]

Bless you.

[hallowedshore]

Thanks.

[Now that he's made an even worse mess, he's just gonna kind of sink to his knees.]

[daddyhasagun]

What happened to you?

[Does Aden need a hanky? Kira has one and a toddler hasn't drooled on it yet.]

[hallowedshore]

[It's a miracle. A hanky might help. Maybe.]

My nose fell off.

[daddyhasagun]

WHA-- REALLY?!

[did he really expect a reaction besides flailing?}

[before]

[Is that your phone, Riku?]

[dawnrise]

[Sure why not. Maybe she's actually hallucinating. It's getting answered either way, and she's not even bothering to look and see who it is.]

Hello?

[before]

Something's going on.

[How's that for a hello?]

[dawnrise]

[She's had better.]

You feel it too?

[before]

More like the opposite. By which I mean I'm not feeling shit the way I'm supposed to.

[dawnrise]

I know what you mean, Red. It's the same with me. It's like...

[Well, it's like him, but she doesn't know how to put it like that.]

[before]

Yeah. Where are you?

[It sounds like he might be on the move.]

[dawnrise]

The game room. Where are you? I'll meet you halfway.

[Because she assumes he's coming to her.]
