[ The morning promised to be a normal one. His alarm clock went off at 9 as always and he got up, went to get ready to prepare breakfast... when he realized the

[chocobo_bartz]

[After getting himself settled in his new living quarters, Bartz decided to get some food for his kitchen. He left his bedroom and entered his living room to see a guy staggering around.]

Hey! Are you alright?!

[Rushes over to help him out.]

[xlillackeykitty]

[ He's wobbly but he's okay. Shaking his head a bit to clear his vision, he looks back up at Bartz, nodding.

Drat this curse. ]

[chocobo_bartz]

[Sighs and looks at Luka, confused.]

How did you even get in here in the first place?

[xlillackeykitty]

[ A shrug. Then he looks around a bit and points to the wall, stopping to emphasize that a moment before doing his little "I disappear into a puddle of darkness and scurry around then pop back up" routine.

But the look on the creature's face is apologetic to say the least. ]

[prominence_glow]

[Excuse Lea, he'll just be panicking and lashing out with fire whips. Kishin brand paranoia and jitteryness, you know. And please ignore the complimentary hallucinations.]

[xlillackeykitty]

[ The following reactions can only be conveyed in one emoticon: OAO

Cue this shadow stumbling over his own feet as he tries to run out of the way. Damn these portaling-melting-into-the-floor powers. They don't work when you want them to. Meanwhile, more flailing as he tries to explain who he is without talking. ]

[prominence_glow]

what are you what are you what are you-

[Lea has now scuttled into a pile of rubble to hide in. This means he has to do the ultimate kind of leg stretch, bent in half with his arms and legs awkwardly sticking out, gold eyes shining in the shadows, but he doesn't seem to care.]

You're a monster- a bad thing, I need to.. to... [Wait.] Scarf...

[xlillackeykitty]

[ Oh man those eyes. Freaky eyes. Lea, bro, whahappened to you?! But he starts shaking his head at the whole monster accusation deal but he stops when Lea gets to the scarf and slowly starts to approach him, nodding.

Hopefully the poor boy's gotten to his senses. ]

[chosen_derp]

[ Oh hey Luka it's nice to see you-- AH OKAY WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE.

This table is for eating, not randomly popping up to try to scare Sora in mid-bite. So much so that-- yup, the poor peanut butter and jelly sandwich he worked so hard to make is now lodged up in his throat.

C-COUGH. ]

L- Luka-!? What are you-- [ COUGHCOUGHHACK. ]

[xlillackeykitty]

[ Meanwhile, this little shadow has crumpled up and is holding his head. Owowowowowowow... table leg. ]

[chosen_derp]

[ Okok FIRST THING IS FIRST-- finish the food in his mouth.

NOW time to assist the one crumbled on the floor. On taking a closer look, his eyes squint-- feeling the sense of him looking very familiar before it hit him. ]

A heartless- !?

[ BACKS UP NOW. Whoa wait, there were actual Heartless here? And in the shape of his friend?

Cue confused look right about... now. ]

Luka... ?

[xlillackeykitty]

[ He stops staggering around for a sec and just rapidly nods at the name. Yeah, yeah, it's him, Sora. Riku told him all about how lethal keyblades are.

D: He's not a real heartless so he won't give munny or exp! Don't hit him. ]

[limitless_land]

[Well, at least he didn't portal too far. Have an extremely concerned roommate- darkness. Darkness... WHAT IN HELL-?!]

...Luka?

[xlillackeykitty]

[ Woozy shadow. Veeeery woozy shadow. Stagger as he rubs his head and looks up at the sound of Riku's voice. There is vague hand waving around but he's pretty much panicking as he gets up off the floor.

Then more flailing as he starts patting his face. Can't find his mouth. CAN'T TALK! ASDASFDGFHGJ

But he nods at the name. Pretty evident from the fact he grabbed his scarf beforehand. Then a shrug to indicate he didn't know what was going on. ]

[limitless_land]

[Dear, sweet Light what was this madness, he doesn't even- Sigh. One moment, he's pulling out a pad and pencil before handing them to the crazy uncle.]

Luka, the curse turned you into a Heartless known as a Shadow. I'm sorry, but only the loud mouth has one that can speak.

...You may want to avoid anyone with a Keyblade until it's over, too.

[xlillackeykitty]

[ The ultimate look of defeat until he gets the writing materials. Thankfully, this thing kind of sort of had opposable thumbs.

Dammit, Vatheon. But he starts scribbling anyway. ]

Great. So I'm stuck like this the whole week? And what's with the keyblade warning?

[vermillionlotus]

[Hey bro, help is here! By that it is surprise help, because somehow, Luka managed to find his way into her lounge room and she was just about to hit him with her oar, until--]

...Luka?! What on earth happened to you?! And how did you even get in here?!

[...the door was locked, after all.]

[xlillackeykitty]

[ There is great relief as she doesn't smash him in the face with an oar. It's no keyblade but sure as hell it was gonna hurt. He shrugs at the first question but to answer the second, he holds up one finger...

Then melts into the floor as a... well... shadow... scoots around a bit and pops right back out.

And another shrug. ]

[vermillionlotus]

[Reflex is telling her to go for it, but she cannot. Or at least knocking him out cold might help him. NO, knocking anyone out never works.]

I...see...

So, the curse?

[xlillackeykitty]

[ There is very very very very rapid head nodding going on right here. Yep, it's the curse. It's all because of the curse.

But there's a tentative step backward. Please don't hit him. ]
