[008//Audio] Time for a ~*Magnificent Adventure*~!
[For once, Riku's doesn't sound like he's smirking at the comm.]
Hey, Xanth.
[Wait. Hasn't something like this happened before?]
Meet me on the flower deck. Ten minutes. Got it?
[...oh, dear.]

...w-why?
no subject
You'll see when you get here.
no subject
A--Alright.
no subject
as much ofa jerk any more!He'll find Riku hanging out near the elevators, squinting at the temple. He's holding his wooden sword, and there's another laying at his feet. He turns and catches sight and flashes the other boy a friendly smirk.]
Hey, you made it. Great.
[He uses his foot to scoop up the other wooden sword, offering it to Xanth, hilt-first.]
Here. You might want this later.
no subject
R-Riku, I-- I'm n-not going to f-fight you.
no subject
Who said anything about fighting? C'mon, Xanth. We're going to the temple. Keeping a sword on you is good habit, that's all.
no subject
W-Why? I mean, it-- it's j-just a t-temple. I've never seen one th-that was v--very, uh, e-exciting.
no subject
Well, who knows? Maybe this one'll be better. We'll never know by just looking at it.

[Riku leads the way aaaaaall the way up to the temple. It's big and all earth browns and rust reds and is just completely unlike anything there ever was back on the islands. It kind of reminds him of Agrabah, though the colors seem a bit muted in comparison.
Riku spends a couple minutes checking out the outside of the temple--touching the stone, checking it over--but the exterior of the temple isn't what he came here to see.
So after a moment more, Riku motions Xanth on and heads inside.]

no subject
He looks back to Xanth, completely at ease. Come on, Xanth, don't seem so nervous--this is fun!]
Any preference?
[Nope, doesn't seem so. Riku waits while Xanth checks out both of the passages, chewing on his lip, but the other boy only shrugs.]
All right, then... let's try this one, first.
[Riku leads the way down one of the corridors, checking it out as they go. It's not really that interesting--until they get to the stairs. Long, dark, and winding, it's obviously leading somewhere. Riku grins at this, one hand unconsciously checking his sword by his side, then looks back to Xanth.]
Now this is more like it! Let's go see what's down there.
no subject
Uh-- y-you sure? There, uh, there's s-still another h-hallway to look th-through...
no subject
Why not? If we don't find anything interesting down here, we can always go back and try the other one. But if we turn back now, we'll never know what's down there.
no subject
...f-fine. L--Lead the w-way.
no subject
There's nothing to worry about--you'll see!
[And with that, he's heading down the stairs! Are you coming, Xanth?]
no subject
no subject
Still, there doesn't seem to be anything else within the area--no doors to lead them to another area, no nothing. Just the pit. And while on the islands he might have been willing to jump into a pit like that, he's definitely not about to do so here without at least a line to pull himself back with. So Riku checks out the area, going over it thoroughly, and then looks back to Xanth.]
Looks like we won't be finding anything here unless we decide to brave that pit. Wanna try the other hall first and see if there's something interesting there?
no subject
Y-Yeah, let--let's do th-that.
no subject
This is going to be pointless if they don't talk at all.]
So how long have you been on this boat, anyways?
no subject
no subject
[As they're speaking, they cross into the other hallway--at first, this one is much like its twin, but quickly becomes something else entirely. It doesn't darken, but instead they come across a flight of cement stairs, lit only by bare lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling. The effect is very abandoned, and Riku can feel the eeriness of the hall prickle over the back of his neck.
-This- is going to lead them somewhere.]
no subject
...h-here, you-- you need t-to know when not t-to mess w-with things and-- and w-when not to go r-running around where y--you m--might get k-killed.
no subject
Yeah, but how will you ever find out anything without taking a chance?
[The little hairs on the back of his neck are on end. Riku feels fantastic; he -lives- for this stuff. He stops to examine one of the portraits on the wall, a woman with a circle around her head. There's something peaceful about the picture, even though the very fact that it's down this abandoned hallway makes it eerie.
But the picture cannot hold his interest very long; there's only so much to examine there! Riku moves on, finding a wooden door. He looks down the hall and sees that the pattern continues, portraits on the walls and doors dotted here and there.
Riku looks back to Xanth with a grin.]
Looks like we've found something interesting.
no subject
Riku-- y-you weren't there, b-but-- a while ago, s-some people who-- they w-went exploring, i-into Spec--Spectacular Spec--te-- th-the theater. And th-they released a-a whole lot of t-trouble.
