[At first, Riku wasn't going to say anything. But being that he is, in fact, an arrogant ~~awesome~~ brat, he can't resist. So when he speaks, you can hear the smirk in his voice.]

Hey. Nice job yesterday, guys. That was a pretty good game.

[And he's even being sincere! How about that.

Riku's a bit bruised up from his bout with Pamela; you won't be able to see the long bruise on his side from where she hit him, but the two dark stripes on his neck from her broom are readily visible, and Riku's not making any attempts to hide them at all. These are his battle scars, his badge of honor; they're something that tells the world that he is one badass kid. Or something, who even really knows.

Riku won't be taking a break though; the game might be over but he's still on the move. You'll be able to find him all over the ship today--he'll be in the forest on deck 3 first, just wandering the forest a bit, then he'll be on deck 12 looking through the luggage for anything that might be helpful in building a tree-house. (Hey, maybe next it'll be a little boat they can sail around the caverns! That might be fun...) He'll be checking out the statue on deck 18 (cautiously, though, things aren't always what they seem), wandering around the flower-field to see if there's actually anything interesting (hey, graves? Hmmm...), and of course hitting up the Coffee Shop for breakfast and later on The Cool and Kuma-Ko for lunch and dinner.

Feel free to run into him anywhere; winning capture the flag has put him in a pretty good mood!]

[It's okay, Zuko, Riku had his ass handed to him by a what is basically a four-year-old with pink hair! Make you feel any better?

Riku gives a short nod at Zuko's question.]

Yeah. A bunch of us on the islands used to play. This was a bit more intense, though.

There's no magic on the islands, for one thing.

Hmm.

[Zuko takes a moment to think about what capture-the-flag would be like in his home world. He figured it probably would last long before Toph buried the flag underground (or put the jail there) or Zuko burned the flag to cinders.]

Magic, huh. [His mind flashes back to an unfortunate conversation with Kage.] People keep calling what I can do magic. But it's not. It's bending.

Bending, huh? What makes it different from what anyone else can do?

[Zuko leans forward a little and stretches out his palm, where a little flame blossoms.]

Bending is about controlling your element with how you move your body. I haven't seen anyone else here control their powers in that way. I mean, besides the people from my world.

[Riku's watching that flame pretty intently there, trying to see how it's different than magic. He's also kind of thinking about Hades--now -there's- definitely an example of fire being controlled by the body, but he's pretty sure that's not what he's talking about.

...yeeeeeah, nope, he's not seeing it. Sorry, Zuko.]

Maybe not. But it looks a lot like magic does. You can't really blame people for the confusion.

[He frowns stoutly and let's the flame flicker out.]

Maybe you'd understand with a more proper demonstration. This isn't exactly the best place to be starting fires, though.

Just take my word for it. Bending is different than magic.

[Riku gives a shrug. He doesn't get why Zuko's so incensed over the matter--bending seems like just another form of magic. Just because you're controlling it with your movement instead of words doesn't make it that much different.]

All right. You'll have to show me some time.

[Normally that would be the end of that, in Riku's eyes. But hey, he's not leaving until he's done with his dinner, so why not ask some more?]

So can you only use one element?

Yes. That's the case for most people in my world. The only one who can control all the elements is the Avatar.

[He pauses, and there's an obvious shift in his mood. The Avatar...wasn't exactly something he liked to think about right now.]

He was here. A while ago. But then he just...vanished.

[Oh, jeez, here they go again with the disappearances of the ship. Talk about bending? It's gonna have to wait.

Though that's probably a good thing, seeing as how Riku's comment might have been that bending sounds a bit less useful than magic. At least with magic there are different spells.]

Don't tell me you believe people die when they disappear from this place, too.
