Seventh ★ [Video] - Forward dated to Sunday, 1:30am

[limitless_land]

[He's been quiet for a while, and he was still drying off again from coming back when a mask appeared on his face in place of his blindfold. Though, that didn't worry him have as much as what he'd just seen...]

...I go "home" for a while and things go to hell again? Figures.

Comments

[beforemoonfall]

...No idea what's up with Lea.

[limitless_land]

I hope it's just a curse. [Even so, what if he follows through on the threat? Being the kind of person he is, Riku can't exactly press the ignore button on this situation.]

You alright over there? I know he's your friend, but we may have to prepare for the worst.

[beforemoonfall]

...I'm not sure. I hope it's a curse, but...

[He shakes his head, rubbing his temples.]

...I just want Lea back.

[limitless_land]

...I can understand why.

[He feels for you, Isa. He really does. The reason he said most of what he did was because... It doesn't matter; he's screwed, either way you look at it.]

Is there anything I can do for the time being?

[chosen_derp]

Riku?

[ Oh good, this guy was starting to get a little worried because he hadn't heard from his bud for awhile. It was good to know he was still here. ]

Sure am! But... where have you been?

[limitless_land]

...I went home for a few days.

[And they weren't courteous enough to actually, you know, let him stay there until you woke up.]

[So have someone knocking on your door, Sora.]

[chosen_derp]

[ Home? Wait, without him? Nice going, Riku.

Sora was about to open his mouth to say something, but the knock on the door caught him off guard. Brb, opening it now to see who it was. ]

Hello-?

[limitless_land]

[Hey, it's not like he wanted to go home without you. He just woke up back in Hollow Bastion, for Light's sake!

But anyway, you have a wolf sitting on the other side of the door, tilting it's his head to the side- wait, was that Riku's...?]

Down here.

[xstaresintosoul]

Welcome back again, Riku... I'd had a feeling you'd return.

[ Just... staring, son. STARING. ]

video; 1/2

[limitless_land]

That voice... [What the fuck is with all that staring?]

[limitless_land]

...Muraki?!

[And he thought becoming a wolf-man was weird.] What happened to you?

[xstaresintosoul]

It seems the city happened, plain and simple.

[ Incubator slightly pacing around his desk now. ]

Another curse, it seems.

[Text]

[oh_neku_dear]

[Yes, you heard right. You're getting a text.]

Welcome back. At least you were considerate with the pin this time. Very clever, by the way.

[Voice]

[limitless_land]

[Oh goddammit, so hard to do this with paws. After the first couple attempts, he flips it off and goes to voice.]

I try to be, every now and then. Saw it in a store and thought it was fitting in case I'd have to leave for any period of time.

[oh_neku_dear]

[Sucks to be you, Riku, but it might be better than seeing him.]

How thoughtful of you! So, what happened to you? Here, I mean, not back wherever you were. Unless you want to share that, too.

[limitless_land]

[And why would that be?]

...I can transform into a wolf, apparently. What about you?

[Private video]

[boundbynaught]

You act like you knew that was going to happen to you.

[No, of course he wasn't worried.]

[Private video]

[limitless_land]

[...it takes him six hours to reply, and when he does, the real thing is soaked. Just like when he first came back not even twenty-four hours ago. Yep, good to know that curfew or whatever was still in effect. Thanks, locals. (You're welcome! 8D ...oh wait, that was sarcasm, wasn't it. 8|)]

With my luck? Anything could and did happen.

[No, of course he wasn't noticing that. Nor was he noticing the burn marks on his left leg. And, he may be quietly muttering about 'death by roadkill.' No, that doesn't make sense in the least.]

[Private video]

[boundbynaught]

[Noticing that tone of voice, mister. Don't be steppin' on his schtick, now.]

What's that even supposed to mean, after all that flickering? I've never been not able to sense you before - [lies] and then it just happened again?

Is this some new power you developed? [Only slightly jealous. He couldn't hide his darkness if he tried.]

[Private video]

[limitless_land]

[Hey, not his fault Lea was an ignorant douche last night and he tried dragging him to safety but didn't make it.]

Blame the coral for this one...or whatever that thing was. [Yes, you saw that right. He just visibly shuddered. But he quickly covers it up with a smirk, however faint. How much to tell his Replica... and how much to just let him find out on his own, no matter what price he himself has to pay?]

It might have been only a couple days here, but it was two months for me. I've been getting the hang of keeping the darkness under control.

[Part of it meant hiding it completely, the other... well. He can't play show and tell for a week, anyway.]
