.10 video // Out of the darkness...

[xblood_lusting]

[ And he's back in his apartment, looking much better than he has in a while. ]

As I was making my way through town today, I'd chanced upon a certain number of people who I hadn't seen around these parts before.

Interesting set of faces this bubble's managed to gather.

[ The doc tilts his head slightly. ]I suppose it would be proper to extend a

[video | private] FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

[Well, shit. He was back to normal, and now two thirds of Riku's support was gone from this hell of a bubble. Don't mind the dark background keeping everything from being seen; Riku's been quite the recluse as of late, Doc.]

... I was wondering when you would resurface.

[video | private] you been a good boy while daddy's been away?

[xblood_lusting]

[ And a smirk as he tilts his head, watching Riku. ]

It seems it's your turn to go into hiding, isn't it, Riku...?

[video | private] What is this good of which you speak of, old man?

[limitless_land]

[Smirk all you want, old man. This is just his place to go think, now... because he can't bring himself to stay at the apartment he and Kairi shared with Sora.]

Been there, done that. [The people he'd been hiding from are gone... with the exception of one bitty who tried setting the entire bubble on fire.]

[video | private] Daddy is proud.

[xblood_lusting]

Though it seems you've had your silence as well... what have you been up to without me, dear boy?

[ Seems you saw the darker side of things when ones loved ones are taken away from you. ]

[ninthserenade]

Hey, doc! Where've you been?

video;

[xblood_lusting]

Recuperating, suffice to say.

[ And a sigh. ]

Better than ever. Though you seem chipper.

Re: video;

[ninthserenade]

Still?

Well, why wouldn't I be chipper?

[xblood_lusting]

With everyone who's gone back home... the atmosphere of late has been less than chipper.

Seems you're quite a breath of fresh air.

[dystopiadreams]

Unfortunately? What's that supposed to mean! There's loads of super nice people around here!

I mean, okay, there are some grumpy people too, but...

[video]

[xblood_lusting]

Ah, I apologize for the confusion.

[ There's a small smile, tilting her head slightly. ]

I meant to say unfortunate that they have no way to return home.

[dystopiadreams]

*Selphie smiles and giggles - have the same face back*

We've just gotta make the most of it while we're all here together!~

[video]

[xblood_lusting]

I suppose we'll have to, now won't we...?

[ Enigmatic smile. Oh, he'll make the most of it, alright. ]

[Video forever]

[dualpinkpistols]

Oh! I'm one of them. Nice to meet you--Maya Amano, star journalist for Coolest, editorial division!

[ She smiles cheerfully. ] I'm happy to see not everyone is taking things so hard.

WHOO!

[xblood_lusting]

You must understand... there were a few who lost people quite important to them, after all.

[ And have a polite smile back. ]

Kazutaka Muraki. A pleasure to meet you.

[dualpinkpistols]

[ A laugh. ]

Of course. But that's no reason to get down. Would the ones who we can only assume are better off than us--well, SOME of us, anyway!--want people to be sad? It's like I always say, you should "think positive!"

[ Since they are both Japanese, enjoy hearing her mangled untranslated English suddenly. :D ]

Muraki-san, if you don't mind me asking, how long have you been here?

pardon my lateness! D8

[xblood_lusting]

[ He chuckles at her enthusiasm... ah, positive thinking. ]

I've been here for several months... since October, if I remember correctly.

[ttly video] No, Kaoru, run AWAY from the creepy one-eyed man...

[uchimata_ja_nai]

Does this happen a lot? I mean, do people tend to show up at this place in... batches?

video; NO, PERFECTLY SAFE HERE.

[xblood_lusting]

[ He pauses to give this a moment's thought. ]

At times... it seems that they come in groups... then there is a lull before new faces start appearing again.

[video]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[Giving this some consideration himself] Mmm. Is it a regular thing or does it just... happen?

[video]

[xblood_lusting]

It seems to be regular, considering situations as of late.

In fixed intervals.
