[There's a stillness that fills the room as the PCD turns on, the camera aimed directly at the bed located in a room at the clinic. The sheets are stained and bloody, an obvious sign that someone who had been gravely hurt had once laid there. However hurt they might have once been, ( Read more... )

[Best greeting ever. You'll never get a better one, Riku.]

[Sarcasm, it comes back so easily.]
It's my weapon. I'd show it to you, but it's probably out collecting rust in the waste.

Tsk. It's not gonna be easy to find it back out there. Or does it have a special function that has it beeping when you're close enough to it?

[God. Damn. It. He's tried to summon it, but it won't come back to him. Which means one of two things. His death price was having it's power taken from him, or someone has it and it's staying there because that person's heart is strong enough to bear it's weight until they can give it back.]
No. Usually when I summon it, it appears in my hand. [Which means...
Sigh.]
I'll look for it when I leave.

I can go look for it with you. If no one else volunteers of course.
Anyway you wanted to know what's new in town, right? Well two more villains have arrived. A thunder demon from Inuyasha's world and [Wait for it.] an evil pony. [Only Raven can manage such an announcement with a straight face.]
Oh, and Harry's back too. He wasn't sent back after all, just got lost in the wastes. [She's trying to say that in that detached way of hers. But the simple fact that she's mentioning it betrays her happiness about his return.]

Thanks, Raven. But I... [Don't want to go out to that place again, alone, knowing what happened there and see my own blood dried on the ground.] I think it's best I go on my own.
[What. The. Hell.] Please. Tell me you're kidding. [An evil pony. Really, Animus? Really really?]
Well there's some good news. Tell him I said welcome back, okay?
Reply
On your own? [She snorts softly.] That's not gonna happen any time soon. Anyway I hope you'll find it back. [She pauses for a bit.] You fear it has something to do with your price, don't you?
Believe me I'd like to be kidding. But I certainly don't have enough imagination to come up with a black unicorn called Nightmare Moon...
Sure thing.

I'm not crippled, you know. [A pause. Yeah, that's exactly what he's thinking.] I'd make sense.
Come on now, don't sell yourself short.
Reply
That's not what I meant either. [Just that she knows a few people who'll refuse to let him go there on his own any time soon.] You think they took the sword away or whatever gave you the ability to summon it?
This is not selling myself short. This is me trusting myself to be saner than that. Oh, and the evil pony wants to rule the place too. But I figure you had already guessed that.
Reply
Makes sense, wouldn't it? Why not leave me weaponless?
Oh good. We didn't have nearly enough people vying for that position.
Reply
Well even if it were so, you'd still have other powers and abilities, right? [Raven doesn't use weapons to fight so it doesn't seem too bad to her. But she gets the impression it's not quite the same for Riku.]
That's why one more doesn't make that much of a difference after all.
Reply
Because none of them have names like Midnight Moon. He has my vote already.
Reply
[Have a mock-reproachful glance as Raven tsks gently.] So first, it's Nightmare Moon, which admittedly is a tad scarier. And second, it's a 'she'.

I think we can wait a minute or two before we do. But not much more than that. Do you have a closet in your room to hide yourself into?
