[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.]

[Riku shrugs, his cheer unhindered by the lack of anything to find in this room. He starts for the door again, then looks back to Xanth.]
Unless you have anything else you wanna check out before we do?
omg i'm so sorry this is so late aaaah
N-No.
ffffff you were on hiatus, it's cool! <3
Next one down?
[He's already headed for the door in question. Sound good to you, Xanth?]

As Riku reaches the next door down, he feels that little bit of apprehension building again. This was a great idea; he hasn't had an adventure in what feels like ages.]
All right, here we go. Door number two--!
[What lies beyond it? Let's find out!]
no subject
On the fire side of the room there is a stack of towels on a chair, as well as a clothes rack with soft, white terrycloth robes hanging up like a row of ghosts. There doesn't seem to be a single soul in the room, but there are more red glass-stained windows.]

[This is weird. Xanth is already checking out the pool, so Riku makes his way to the fire side of the room, running a hand over the robes and the towels. They don't interest him that much, though, so he comes back toward the pool, looking towards the stained glass windows.]
More of those windows.
no subject
W-Weird. Can-- can you see a-anything through th-them?
no subject
Hello there, my children. Could I help you with something?
no subject
Or maybe someone actually -lives- in this place.
Riku glances at Xanth, quirking an eyebrow, then glances back to the door.]
Who's there?
no subject
no subject
Be at peace. I'm the priest of the Red Church.
Are you looking for something?
no subject
The Red Church? Is that what this place is called?
[They'd entered through a -temple-, though.]
We were just looking around. After all, nobody's ever come here before, right?
no subject
no subject
Yes, the Red Church. Perhaps you'll find what you've been looking for, within these walls.
[The voice is detached, very serene but not quite together.]
Though I'd advise you to be careful. There are things behind these doors you wouldn't want running loose.
no subject
Riku notes the ripples in the pool, watching them to see if the voice's source is actually stepping into the water or merely touching it.]
Like what? We haven't seen anything so far.
[He raises both eyebrows meaningfully towards the ripples in the pool; yeah, you might be here, mysterious voice, but he can't -see- you.]
no subject
Wh-why-- wh-- why c-can't we s--see you?
no subject
[Whether or not he intended to, the voice ignores Riku's question. The shuffling sounds move over toward the door.]
If you have any sins to which you would like to admit, please visit me in the confessional. I can heal wounds of the heart, but that pool can heal wounds of the body.
I hope you boys make it safely back to your rooms.
no subject
See, Xanth, this was -totally- worth it! That smirk has been restored full-force.]
We'll be fine.
[He pauses. And then...]
Thanks. For the advice.
no subject
no subject
[The door creaks slightly, as if pushed by a breeze, and for all intents and purposes the priest appears to have left.]
no subject
What do you think? We've about looked at everything in here, by this point. Wanna move on? Or...
[Riku trails off, giving the pool a glance. By this point he's mostly all healed up from his run-in with the tiger, but he can't help but wonder if it would have helped. Or to what extent it -would- help.
Something to come back here and check out, if he had anything to say about it.]

no subject
The scars, however, remain.]
