Night 60: M01-M10 Hallway

[mustbethesuit]

The words of the Head Doctor, back to power and gloriously maniacal as ever, slid cleanly past Peter Parker's ears and dripped unnoticed to the floor. The few that stuck - something about the radio guy, and losing a girl - they hit no notes within him. He held onto them, but set them aside for another day. Things were too woozy to even consider

What a waste of a day. But it wasn't like Riku was feeling any better about the taste of freedom mixed in with the sudden feeling of loss. Most of his day had been spent avoiding people. First, he skipped breakfast, assuming it would be much of the same, and he managed to make it out later to observe how everything had gone back to normal. The thing was, he wasn't surprised. If someone was determined for things to be the way they were, they would have them that way.

That seemed to be Landel's idea of a good time.

That guy blamed them for what happened. He had to admit that he wasn't surprised. Things had to change. And when they did, it was usually for the worst. Any level of optimism wasn't really his thing, so he didn't bother with that. If things were going to change, he'd just have to be ready. And, at least, when he was, he could make sure both his friends were with him. Riku didn't like admitting it, but knowing they had a shot at keeping an eye on Kairi from now on made him feel better. He forgot to mention to Sora to ensure she stuck by one of them every night, but he figured, from the night's assignments, that his friend clued in on that already.

Riku rolled his shoulders as he grabbed his sword and his nightlight and headed out. His roommate was still sleeping-that seemed to be the case a lot, actually; he wondered if he just bored them into it-so he didn't waste any energy on that. It was time to go meet this new guy.
