[ The day started a little off, but it's only after the Core throws its little fit that things start to change. He feels 'full', like the shell he inhabits is to small to contain the power within.

Thus, when he hears this over the NV, it doesn't take a genius to realize it's a problem. ]

[ He plays it off, regardless. ]

Sounds like someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

[walkthedawn]

[He grits his teeth at the voice, calling out above the din of the ruckus in his heart.]

Shut up.

[madannoshashu]

[ He never shuts up, Riku; you should know this by now. ]

This would be a bad time to bring up my two weeks notice, wouldn't it?

[ Yes, even in the midst of crisis, he still insists on being a jackass. ]

[walkthedawn]

[He leans his head back against the wall, struggling to focus.]

[Now, of all times to bring this up, Xigbar--]

[madannoshashu]

[ He has a talent for these things. ]

[Jerk. Riku snaps.]

Don't you dare talk to him.

[madannoshashu]

Relax, tiny brooder. I'd much rather talk to you.

[ Switching to private for this. ]

Need a hand?

[madannoshashu]

A Void can't take away what's already there, kiddo.

Just suppress it.

[walkthedawn]

If it's suppressed long enough, I can deal with him on my own. I can't do it like this.

[madannoshashu]

You suuure?

Positive.

Whatever you say.
