RIKU → sixteenth dawn || video

[the_daybreak]

[Who's on his face in the hall there, 'berry skittering out of his grasp to hit the wall and turn on?

Riku, of course. He's not usually so clumsy, but he wasn't exactly expecting ice floors, either.]

... That's... probably going to leave a bruise.

[There's a short pause as he sits up and looks around the vicinity.]

... this week's gonna be

ooof. Careful, there. Yeah, this looks like the test for the week. Honestly, I'm not complaining too much, considering last week's.

I mean, they even had the courtesy to give us ice skates.

[the_daybreak]

Yeah, last week was a little bit... eh. What happened to you?

Yeah, not bad. I've never actually ice skated, though.

[harry_b_dresden]

Not too much, I think I may have had a wish granted... One of my friends from home dropped in. I spent most of the week trying to make sure all the people that got turned into five year olds didn't get eaten by all the evil twins. You?

Yeah, I've heard that a lot...

[the_daybreak]

I got turned into a girl.

Really? Well... I lived on an island until coming here, and even when I was traveling I didn't exactly stop to go skating.

ACTION~

[Xion has gracefully skid over to Riku, definitely not showing off her new found skill and talent.

Definitely.]

Riku! You holding up okay? [She offers a hand.]

ACTION~

[the_daybreak]

Yeah, I'm good.

[A sigh -- he's embarrassed, but he takes her hand anyway, sighing to himself.] You got some of those, huh?

ACTION~

[seasalt_sunset]

It turns out that it is a latent talent or something!

I only had to fall like, eighteen times. [A confident grin.] We should go get you some!

[Oh boy, now she's getting excited...]

And we could like, race! Or...um, other stuff!

ACTION~

[the_daybreak]

Hehe, cool.

Race? Where to?

[shardsofmemory]

[Roxas skates up to him, already mostly having figured this out from being a skateboarder] Hey, Riku.

[the_daybreak]

Roxas. [He rolls over onto his back, holding his arms up so he doesn't get the bare skin all red and chilly.] You're skating too? Guess I gotta go pick some up.

[shardsofmemory]

It's not that hard, actually. You want me to go get you some?

[the_daybreak]

Sure, if you want. Bring them back here? [Riku sits up, blinking up at him and standing carefully.]

[memorizethefire]

[Axel's laughing at Riku from a nice comfy bed above the ice] Need some healing, 'Ku? [And yes, he snickers more when he says the nickname]

[the_daybreak]

No, I'm good, cupcake-bunny.

[memorizethefire]

You sure? [Oh, he doesn't mind that name anymore]

[the_daybreak]

Yeah, pretty well.

[In Person]

[skyofreverie]

[He doesn't have on any skates because he'd just fall flat on his face. Instead Sora just has on his large shoes and seems to be doing just fine. First stop is to pick up Riku's 'berry then over to Riku's side where he bends over.]

You okay down there?

[In Person]

[the_daybreak]

Yeah. [Unlike Sora, Riku doesn't wear giant Disney shoes anymore, so he just sighs at him.] I'm all right, I think.

[In Person]

[skyofreverie]

[It's not just the Disney shoes that help. Sora's used to the feeling of gliding on ice due to his Wisdom form. He holds out a hand for Riku to take.] C'mon then. Let's get you off the floor.

[In Person]

[the_daybreak]

[He takes the boy's hand, grinning like an idiot.] Sounds good.
