Rikku's conversation yesterday with AJ reminded her: where was Valentine? She'd been too distracted by classes and everything else going on, and he was bound to turn up sooner or later, except he kinda hadn't. Not good.

She'd paid a quick handwavey visit to her little sib, just to be sure. Nope, Valentine hadn't been back to the room.

Maybe he really was racking up some good money juggling. But something felt weird.

Chewing her lip, Rikku stopped in Will's doorway. "Uh, hiya. Do you have a second?"

Will looked up from where she was copying down the lyrics to Ever the Same for Kurt. She smiled at the visitor.

"Sure, Rikku! What's up?"

Rikku smiled back, still worried. "Maybe nothing. Probably just me being whatever. But, uh ... do you still have the teleport-thing that got us to Valentine's world?"

Will nodded, her face taking on a more expression.

"I always do. I'd have to go through Candracar, that big sparkly white place, to get there, though."

the_merriest July 4 2007, 01:14:35 UTC

"Oh." She scratched her head, thinking. "It's ... if that's a big pain or whatever, it's okay. It's just, uh ..."

Rikku stepped a little more into the room, shivering. "Did you know he's not back yet? I mean, he said he was coming back Monday, like, the next day Monday, and ... I mean, he made some joke about juggling for a bit, but he had classes and all that and ... I mean, what if he's stuck?"

notawitch July 4 2007, 01:26:15 UTC

"It's not that much of a pain," Will said. She stretched out her hand, and the Heart of Candracar floated out of it.

She frowned at Rikku's news. "I knew that I hadn't seen him around yet, but I didn't know that he hadn't come back at all from his world. I really hope that nothing happened to him."

"I just thought I hadn't seen him, but this one girl was looking for him and seemed kinda upset? So I asked Gavin, his roommate, and he said the bed's just ... like, not been slept in or anything." Rikku shook her head quickly. "Something ... something feels wrong, you know?"

notawitch July 4 2007, 01:52:31 UTC

"Yeah," she said. "I don't think Valentine would stay there without sending something back to tell us. He's not that type."

She looked over the glowing crsytal to Rikku. "Shall we go pay him a visit?"

the_merriest July 4 2007, 01:55:23 UTC

"Yeah. I mean ... he wouldn't forget this long, yeah? And ..." She bit her lip. "Someone would've heard."

Rikku looked at the crystal and then at Will again. "Just like that? You don't mind? I mean, it's not gonna ... like, drain your magic for the day or anything, is it?"

notawitch July 4 2007, 02:03:00 UTC

Will shook her head. "Nope. I think there's an endless supply of energy in here. I might get stared at a bit for bringing outsiders into Candracar, but we wouldn't be there very long."

the_merriest July 4 2007, 02:08:25 UTC

"Is it, uh, better if I don't go? 'Cause I can stay behind if that helps." Rikku bounced a little on her toes. "And, uh, thanks, 'cause I didn't know how to get there, and Pops' airship is back home anyway."

notawitch July 4 2007, 02:11:18 UTC

"No, it'll be fine if you come along, but you'll have to move in closer. I'm not sure how far the range is," Will said.

the_merriest July 4 2007, 02:22:19 UTC

Rikku blushed. "Oh. Sorry." She walked over and stood on the other side of the crystal, nodding to the red-haired girl. "Are we good?"

NFB notawitch July 4 2007, 02:52:05 UTC

"Yep."

Will focused her energy on the power of the crystal and let it flow through her. A beam of light shot out of it, wrapping the pair up in a pillar of pure energy. There was a tingling feeling, before they touched down on the marble floors of Candracar.

Will took a step backwards and took a deep breath, trying to prepare herself for another jump.

Re: NFB the_merriest July 4 2007, 02:55:58 UTC

Rikku jumped a little on impact. "Whoa. Still not used to that." She shook her head quickly. "Okay. Yeah. So, we, uh ... do that again?"

Re: NFB notawitch July 4 2007, 03:01:18 UTC

Will nodded. "Yeah. This place is right at the middle of the universe, so it's easier to get there from here. So long as nobody catches us and chews us out, anyway." She looked at Rikku. "Are you ready?"
