9th Dawn [Video]

[limitless_land]

[Three, maybe four people that could respond had known of the former puppet's reactions to what had happened. Needless to say, after this he really had been busy with what had happened, destroying the Heartless and releasing the Hearts captive in the City so that the Nobodies could be Whole again. There was plenty to do once they recovered, but...

[ooc; s-sob I was gonna make a thread with a dying Hope but then life punched me in the gut and... yeah. 8D; Not gonna jack the thread with him and Conan, but if Riku gets to the clinic, this'll be here? /shot]

[Once Riku gets to the clinic? It's pretty easy to figure out where Hope is - the crystal he holds glows brighter the closer it gets to the boy in question. To be more specific, it's as if it gets warmer, sensing the holder. As for the other, he'll be in one of the empty clinic rooms, almost still, unresponsive to many.]

[ooc: asjdasdohfq Hoooope. ;A; /grabby hands]

[And it really doesn't take him that long to find his way there. Though he'd never been there himself, maybe it was a combination of Kairi's guidance and his sixth sense that led him right to the location. Well, at least until the crystal begins to glow and get warmer. ...Huh. So this was what a small part of its owner's world was like.

Riku approaches the clinic room, knocking on the door lightly before entering. He can see the other boy lying there... and the flashbacks sting.]

...Hope, I take it?

[action] is that a glasses icon-

[resolvetolive]

[ooc; SUP RIKU GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION ;; /reaches for]

[When the door opens, there's hardly a response. To his name though, he manages to sit up and the crystal begins to hum in response to his presence. Hope's expression is more than confused, and it's as if he doesn't even register his crystal is in the room.]

[action] yes we call it the "Dr. Riku" icon thanks to him being a therapist elsewhere. :|

[limitless_land]

[ooc: NOT MUCH MAN AND FFF ;; /brohugs]

[There's a faint smirk. So... at least he can sit up. He walks over, holding out the humming crystal to the almost comatose Hope.] We found this while taking care of the remaining Heartless last night. I was told it belongs to you?

[action] smooth. 8|< does he get a nurse?

[resolvetolive]

[Oh, he's definitely in pain - hasn't done much since the crystal got taken, but when the object in question is offered to his face, he lifts his head and stares.]

That's- [Reaching up, the crystal glows a vibrant yellow-green and the haze over Hope's eyes fades.] -y-yeah, it is. ... It's okay.

[The crystal hovers in Riku's palms, then hovers over to Hope.] T-thank you.

[action] Kairi :|

[limitless_land]

[Yeah, he can understand that far too well. There's just a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth at life returning to Hope's eyes.

Hopefully someone else will be like that soon.] Yeah.

[He lowers his hand when the crystal's returned to it's owner, nodding his head.] No problem. Sorry it took so long to get it back.

[action] . . . course. :'D

[resolvetolive]

[Tilting his head, it looks as if Hope's expecting the crystal to do something - instead, he stays in his hands and he stares with mild confusion.

However, since he's lucid and with someone else, he'll be looking back to Riku and shaking his head.] You don't have to apologize - l-least I got it back.

I... R-Riku, right? I've... kinda heard about you.

[action] . . . XD And dangit lj, why'd you eat the notif? :|

[limitless_land]

[But you looked like you were about to die... he thinks, but doesn't say. Instead, he shrugs.]

Fair enough. [But then... what Hope says. He almost frowns.]

Yeah. ... Hope it wasn't nothing too bad.

[action] lj is a horrible thing sometimes. >:

[resolvetolive]

[In Hope's mind, he wants to live but if it means everyone else gets hurt, that's not happening. The crystal's not going away, but at least he's coming back to responding - not that its down anything for that sick complexion.]

Huh? Oh, n-no! Before this whole thing. [He looks down.] ... I.. You shouldn't beat yourself up over this.

[action] It really, really is. >:

[limitless_land]

[Funny; that's what he was thinking all of last week before someone almost literally slapped him in the face to get him out of that line of thinking.

Sick complexions normally do take a while.] ...Sorry. [A faint, dry chuckle, before he feels led to poking Hope on the forehead.] But what I said wasn't just limited to that.

[After all... he used to be one of the bad guys.]

[action] /hug?

[resolvetolive]

Well... [Hope fumbles, makes a motion for Riku to sit.]

What happened is past - if you keep thinking back on it, it'll catch up.

[action] /hugs

[limitless_land]

[He nods, taking a seat.]

It doesn't mean we can't learn from it while we move forward.

[action] /o/!

[resolvetolive]

Yeah, b-but there's a difference between learning from something and keeping a grudge.

[He looks up, and attempts a grin.] Aheh.. Sorry, didn't mean to say that.

[action] \o\

[limitless_land]

[TELL THAT TO LIGHTNING, TELL THAT TO LIGHTNING OW.]

[It just earns a chuckle.] It's fine; I know you meant well.

[action]

[resolvetolive]

[AHAHA YOU GOT IN TROUBLE WITH BIG SIS. c: I mean. ]

Yeah... Hey. [A small pause.] If you don't mind me asking, what are the heartless made from?

[action]

[limitless_land]

[JUST ONE PUNCH TO THE FACE AND A FLASHBACK TO SNOW I MEAN--]

[He shakes his head.] I don't mind.

The Heartless are the darkness made real; what's left of someone's heart and soul when they either give in to their negative emotions in my World or fall victim to the Heartless themselves.
