Night 50: Main Hallway, 1-West

Jul 09, 2010 20:42

[from here]It looked like the hallway opened up over here. Guess he couldn't expect to just run around and follow a linear corridor forever, but now he had to figure out which way he wanted to go. Normally, he'd just run down whatever hallway he happened to lay eye on first, but again, he was running a liiittle blind here ( Read more... )

And she had made it to the meeting place first. "Aha," she chirped happily to herself, grinning. She won this round.

Kairi moved towards the staircase and placed her sword against the wall, leaning her back against it as well. Sliding down the wall, she clicked her flashlight off, her eyes getting used to the darkness as she scanned through the black in hopes of catching sight of a certain brunette or silver headed boy.

After a few moments of nothing, she turned her gaze to look towards the Sun Room, her mind wandering. Who - or what - was lurking in there this night? They'd be finding out shortly. Kairi only hoped that whatever it was, it wouldn't cause them too much trouble.

[From here.]As Sora approached the stairs, he was shocked to see that Kairi had beat him there once again. Sure, he'd wasted some time looking for that ring and saying bye to Hanatarou, but he was so used to always making it here first. Then again, that pattern had started while Kairi had been gone. She was almost as used to Landel's as he was, so it made sense that she was able to beat him here sometimes ( ... )

At the sound of an all too familiar voice, Kairi instantly jumped up and off of the floor, smiling to Sora when he finally came into view. "Sora! Hi," she responded, nodding her head. So, they had both gotten there before Riku. Hopefully the boys wouldn't squabble over such a trivial detail ( ... )

When Kairi grabbed for his hand, Sora felt his heart start to beat a little faster than normal. This was just... not something that usually happened, though he could understand why Kairi wanted to get a closer look at the piece of jewelry. He couldn't help thinking that it would look much better on his friend's finger, and yet he realized that it would be kind of weird if he gave it to her ( ... )

[ from here]A few distractions caught his attention along the way, but Riku ended up reaching his friends before too long. It didn't look like they were standing there for too long. Then again, that was hard to tell, but their facial expressions didn't give him the indication that he was finally arriving at a bad time; he had a bad habit of doing that regularly, and he wouldn't be surprised if now was any different ( ... )

"I wouldn't mind trying out the ring," Kairi agreed, nodding her head. "What's the worst that could happen?"

... Well, many things could happen, but she chose not to speak of them, however, because at that time the last member of their team appeared, and the once princess turned to look at Riku with a smile. "Hi, Riku." Her eyes were drawn down towards his hand as he revealed his ring as well, and she looked between her two boys with a sheepish smile. "Oh, you both got rings! That's great! I didn't get one, but I don't mind. The man I was with last night was extra helpful, so I'm glad that he got it instead of me." At that point her hand was placed against her chest, and she smiled.

... Except she was feeling slightly left out. Again.

Shaking the feelings away with a literal shake of her head, Kairi clasped her hands behind her back and smiled up to Sora and Riku with a slight tilt of her head. "So, shall we try them out, then?"

There were a lot of bad things that could happen, true. Sora was completely aware that the rings could just be one huge trap laid out by them for Landel, but they wouldn't get anywhere if they didn't take some chances. So long as the three of them stuck together, then he was sure that they would be okay ( ... )

"I don't think that's a good idea," Riku replied to his friends. He didn't like the idea of being people who took the first steps, especially when there was a chance that others would be attempting much the same thing that night. It would be careless of them to overlook the possible consequences of not thinking twice, and he figured they should think about it.

"Let's do something else first." What, he didn't know, but he had a feeling that Sora and Kairi's haste was unwise. This was where his insight was needed. His fingers wrapped tightly around his ring, and he realized this was the best idea at hand. Having the ring made him feel confident, even if he confessed that he wasn't certain that it would help them. The electronics store wasn't exactly bustling with ways to get out at night.

Not having a suggestion stopped him cold, but Riku looked at his friends expectantly.

"And once again, Riku is the voice of reason," Kairi joked, smiling towards the two boys. Honestly, the older boy had a point. They had no idea what the ring could potentially do to them, and she knew that.

At the mention of doing something else, the once princess pressed her finger to her lips, tapping gently. "Hmmm, we could always go with the failsafe decision and once again try to get to the basement? Since last time we tried something stopped us in the Sun Room ..." the thought of whatever it was caused Kairi to shudder. It had been growing out of Riku, whatever it was ...

"Or maybe outside?" she asked in a softer voice, still somewhat worried about something lurking in the recreation field, whether it be a monster or someone under the control of the institute. "Or maybe something completely different, like up stairs to the other rooms ..."

What? Why did Riku want to hold back? Sora frowned for a moment, wondering if his friend was being contrary just for the sake of it, and yet he knew that wasn't the case. Riku was giving the opinion he thought was best, either because he was worried about the rings being a trap or... whatever else it was. But it looked like they would have to put it aside for now.

Especially since Kairi went along with Riku's suggestion without a second thought. If Sora tried to argue his side, he'd just look stubborn, and so he considered Kairi's suggestions with a sigh.

"Well, this ring should take us upstairs near the file room, in theory, so maybe we can wait on that," he said with a halfhearted shrug. "I'm fine with trying the basement again, if you guys are up for it. Both the Sun Room and going outside will get us there, so it's just what you prefer." He glanced between the two of them, waiting for a decision. In the meantime, he quietly slipped the ring off of his finger and placed it into his pocket. So much for that.

"Hey, it's not like I've always been a voice of reason," Riku joked. Their adventures on the Islands were often his ideas, and building the raft started from just that. Even if the source of his dreaming outside the Islands was very real, he hadn't always acted with reason. It was that fact that led to Kairi losing her heart and Sora being the keybearer in the end ( ... )

Kairi stuck her tongue out at Riku before smiling, and she turned towards Sora as he spoke. However, before she could say anything Riku spoke up, giving them an idea. "Outside ..." she parroted, thinking about it. "Okay ... but we have to be extra careful since it's special counseling tonight ... who knows who's out there?"

Despite ether of the boys not openly saying anything, the once princess could feel a slight tense wave pass between Sora and Riku, but she quickly tried to ignore it. She didn't want things to end up like they had before the whole keyblade fiasco happened. They had fought during that time, and she never wanted to see them like that again. She'd do anything she could to prevent it, in fact.

"Should we go over the wall?" she quickly continued, frowning as she bent down to pick of her sword from the wall. "Last night I was in a forest outside of the walls ... we could try to get there?"

Outside, huh? Well, Sora probably hadn't gone out there as many times as he'd tried the basement, so he didn't mind that idea so much. So long as they didn't go to the quarry, anyway. He was pretty sick of heading in that direction, even though he knew it pretty well by now. He'd rather they try to find something new -- or new to him, at least. And if it was new to him, it'd be new to his friends, too ( ... )
