[ There's a perfectly ordinary hallway that branches off from one of the main, leading to a downward staircase. If one were to walk down, they would notice how the walls and stairs themselves are decaying, changing as the steps go down from the regular floors and ordinary wood to stone. It leads down, not too far, to a long series of underground tunnels. Mostly man-made, but with natural formations as well. The sound of water running can be heard to the left and loud, scraping footsteps to the right. Which direction would you take? ]

Try me.

[She shifts her grip to keep the Keyblade where it is easier, expression serious. She really does want to know.]

......... wtf how did I miss this one ;;

[demitint]

[She just presses down harder, enough to give her some help when she suddenly rips it back and then swings it at her.]

i figured you just weren't feeling the character rofl

[islandflower]

[That has her sliding back in surprise before she lets out an annoyed sigh, pulling her blade up defensively.]

noooo

[demitint]

[She swings hard, and this time all three of their blades clash together and the second, the one that had been on the ground, calls up a shield between them.]

[islandflower]

[Kairi relaxes slightly in relief, but doesn't let her guard down just yet.]

Why?

[demitint]

[The second Riku keeps the shield up, and the first, the attacker, just glowers at them both. A second later and her mouth stretches out into an inhumanly large, fanged grimace, and she tries to bite the defending Riku's face off.]

[islandflower]

[Shriek! How about a Fire spell, Biteyku? It's the first spell Kairi learned, so it's the one she's best at! Though it's still only the first rank and all.]

[demitint]

[Riku has to lean back far to avoid getting part of her face ripped off. The double (which has been the one standing all along, at least) gives an inhuman shriek and backs off at the fire, the razor-sharp grin stretching out to her ears. Literally. Riku looks suitably horrified.]

Run. Run!

[islandflower]

[She is definitely running, but only if the non-monsterish Riku is following!]

What's going on?! I thought she was just angry or something, not- not that!

[demitint]

[She's following after tossing up another shield. She plans to fight it, but not with Kairi in danger.]

Oh yeah, just angry enough to try to kill me for no reason.

[islandflower]

And you couldn't just say "she's going to eat my face" or something so I'd understand sooner?!

[demitint]

Wh-- I didn't know she was going to do that! How was I supposed to know? All she had before was a copy of my weapon.

[islandflower]

I just thought... maybe there was something she had against other Rikus for some reason. That there'd be a way to talk her out of it.

[Sad. She doesn't like seeing people who look like one of her best friends fighting.]

[demitint]

Doubt it. She's not a replica. Not like that. Pretty sure whatever she is, it's not human, or anything like it.

[She glances back to see if the double's giving chase, and stops abruptly. No sign of her.]

[islandflower]

[That makes Kairi stop as well, looking worried.]

Should we just leave?

[demitint]

I don't know--

[She freezes, blind gaze fixed on the way they came. Soon enough Kairi will see the double-- crawling upside down on the ceiling their way.]

[islandflower]

[She panics and sends another Fire spell at the ceiling near the double with a shriek.]

[demitint]

[It shrieks right back, but it's much more high-pitched. Riku grabs Kairi by the arm and starts pulling her along. Nope, not fighting the weird face-stealing monster with it having an advantage right now.]

[islandflower]

[Yes running more is a good idea. She's good at running!]

[demitint]

[She thought so!]

Head for the stairs.

[islandflower]

A-Alright.

[Heading for the stairs! This realm sucks.]

[demitint]

[Yes. Yes it does. Once they reach the stairs Riku lets go and whirls around, holding her blade up again.]

[islandflower]

[Kairi won't be leaving without Riku. With luck, that won't be a problem.]

[demitint]

[Not if Kairi stays out of her way-- No, she should be able to take the thing down. It just won't be easy. It might get a couple bites in.]

[islandflower]

[Kairi will stay well out of the way for this fight, thanks.]
