Riku hasn't tried to go up the stairs of the bar in a very long time. He has good reasons to avoid it, so, he does. He doesn't want to deal with Rhyme's death. He doesn't. Nor does he want to see a place full of so many memories ( Read more... )

"Is this really going to work?" Riku asks, staring at the door. He's in civilian clothing, cargo pants and a shirt and some good sneakers. He has his hair tied back for the day ( Read more... )

The nice thing about Destiny Islands is the weather is always pretty awesome. Sure, they have snow and rain, but those seasons are relatively short. For the most part? Perfect, warm weather~.

Occasionally the thing gets frustrated and smacks him for turning the pages too fast, but Riku just ignores him.

Pfft.

Riku's prone to sleep-walking a lot, lately. This usually doesn't lead him into trouble, but he usually doesn't have a girl staying in his family's guest room, either.

He's sleep-walking, today.

He happens to sleep-walk in there.

Riku is in his and Rhyme's room, sitting on the floor. His shirt is off and he's got a first-aid pack next to him, working on bandaging some wounds from a fight right before he entered the bar ( Read more... )
