[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.]

So how long have you been on this boat, anyways?

Date: 2010-08-28 09:16 am (UTC)[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.]

Date: 2010-08-28 09:43 am (UTC)...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
Date: 2010-08-29 06:54 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-08-30 08:29 pm (UTC)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.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-30 09:53 pm (UTC)But that's gone now, right? Even if there is something there, it's better to know rather than be taken by surprise.
[But he's not moving on. Not yet.]
Are you really that afraid?
omg teal deer
Date: 2010-08-31 03:15 am (UTC)N-- No. You-- you're r-right.
no such thing!
Date: 2010-08-31 04:01 am (UTC)And he's kind of glad that Xanth is steeling himself like this.]
That's more like it. You'll never get anywhere by standing still.
[That's his version of encouragement. Riku continues down the hall, passing by a couple more paintings, a couple more doors.]
What do you think? Any one in particular?
no subject
Date: 2010-08-31 03:40 pm (UTC)Th--this one, I-I guess?
no subject
Date: 2010-09-01 02:27 am (UTC)He's pleased to see that Xanth is taking some initiative, so he comes over to the door, reaching out to knock on it. Couldn't hurt, right?]
All right, sounds good to me. Keep your sword ready.
[Riku reaches out to take hold of the doorknob, looking to Xanth.]
You ready?

Date: 2010-09-06 02:18 am (UTC)Across the walls are ornate stained-glass windows depicting various scenes; a woman with a child on her knee, a man speaking from atop a mountain, a nude couple walking within a luscious garden. However, most of the glass pieces are blood red, so it may be difficult to discern what exactly the figures are unless one moves closer to examine them.
On either side of the room sits two sets of pews, red carpeting dividing them through the center and leading up to the altar itself.]

Date: 2010-09-06 03:00 am (UTC)Is... i-is that... all?
no subject
Date: 2010-09-06 03:57 am (UTC)What were you expecting? Come on, not everything is a trap.
[Riku strides into the room without another word, reaching out in an attempt to grab Xanth by the shirt collar and pull him after, heading for the altar. He'll check out the windows after he's examined that thoroughly, but there's gotta be something interesting to find up there!]

no subject
Date: 2010-09-07 11:39 pm (UTC)[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
Date: 2010-09-13 08:14 am (UTC)N-No.
ffffff you were on hiatus, it's cool! <3
Date: 2010-09-13 05:04 pm (UTC)Next one down?
[He's already headed for the door in question. Sound good to you, Xanth?]
