[Xion's not the only one who's been irritated by recent events. For most of the day, Riku's been pacing back and forth around the house, occasionally stopping to practice some of the magic Aqua taught him. He's on-edge because he's seen first hand what Vanitas can do, and it's not pretty.

But for now, he'll take a break and see what she's up to. It's obvious that she's not in the best of moods.]

We'll figure something out.

[ she doesn't really react to his approach, and for a long, quiet moment, she doesn't even respond, still staring down at the water. then, finally: ]

I hope so. I don't know if I'm ever gonna sleep again like this.

[That's fine. He'll go ahead and lean on the other side of the bridge, shaking his head.]

The way I see it, we have a few options. We could find somewhere else to stay, take turns guarding the house, or see if there's some way we can protect it.

[Sigh.]

I just wish there was some way we could stop him.

[action] poppetry January 8 2011, 04:21:53 UTC

You know finding someplace else to stay won't help. He found us once, he can just do it again. And even if we guard the house... it seems like he could probably overpower us. [ shakes her head. ] It's got to be the last one... I just don't know how.

[ a beat, and then she actually looks at him. ]

... me too. But I haven't been able to think of anything.

[Ven's a bit hesitant about responding, especially after their last conversation, but...]

You could always stay close to your friends. It's always safer when you're in a group.

[voice] poppetry January 8 2011, 04:17:19 UTC

[ Ven. Xion still isn't sure how to feel about him -- but she does feel bad about being so angry at him last time they spoke. It wasn't really his fault. ]

... I know, but ... what if that's not enough? Plus, we can't stay together all the time...

[voice] risingwinds January 8 2011, 04:23:50 UTC

I guess you're right.

[A beat. If he sounds a little more somber than usual, that's because he is.]

I fought him, y'know.

[voice] poppetry January 8 2011, 04:34:42 UTC

[ ... horrified!face. ]

You -- you did? Are you okay? I mean... I guess you must be, but -- what happened?

[Remember this girl? She's an awful lot quieter these days. And she's walking along the bridge, nose in a book. She looks up enough to chart her path around Xion instead of running into the other girl, and when she's close enough, she gives a polite nod.]

[Action] poppetry January 8 2011, 04:18:11 UTC

[ of course she does. how could she forget? even after so long...

she blinks when Ami passes by -- blinks again -- and then recognition dawns, and she can't help a: ]

Hey!

Re: [Action] no_use_running January 8 2011, 04:19:15 UTC

[Huhwha? Ami stops in her tracks and turns back to Xion with a somewhat questioning look.]

[Action] poppetry January 8 2011, 04:22:40 UTC

[ uh--

pauses. she ... does know this girl, right? ]

I'm -- I'm sorry, it's just ... you seem really familiar, somehow.

What you need, lass, is a security system what would keep the unsafe things away.

[voice] poppetry January 8 2011, 04:18:53 UTC

... something like that. But what?

[voice] lists_to_port January 8 2011, 04:37:14 UTC

Why not a slightly mad swordsman?

[voice] poppetry January 8 2011, 04:39:32 UTC

Slightly ... mad?

[ ... that does not fill a girl with confidence, Jack. ]

If you don't feel safe where you're living, I don't think there's anything wrong with asking for help or finding a new place to go.

[ voice ] poppetry January 8 2011, 04:19:36 UTC

... I don't think finding a new place would help... [ he'd find them again. she knows it. ]

I guess that's why I'm asking. I'll take anything right now.

[ voice ] savethelastchip January 8 2011, 20:58:21 UTC

[ ...he hates when people sound so desperate >: so while we're hanging under your anti-Vanitas and Saix filter, why not. ]

My name is Akimichi Chouji; I'd be glad to do whatever I can to help out.

[ voice ] poppetry January 8 2011, 21:35:42 UTC

... Akimichi? Why... [ would you bother, I'm just a stranger-- ] -- I don't know. I don't want anyone else getting hurt because they're trying to protect us... that wouldn't really make things any better. We need a way to ... to hide from him, I guess.
