[011//Audio & Commentlog] More 4th wall fun :D

[oathbreakers]

K--Kairi!

[Riku sounds surprised, but also excited. What has he found?]

You've got to come see this. Deck 12--around the left side of the luggage.


[Riku's on the luggage deck, off to one side sitting on the floor. Scattered around him is an entire collection of interesting things, including a bunch of Disney movies--but what -Riku's- looking at is a game. Yeah, he's holding Kingdom Hearts I and II, and is staring at them both. There's a PlayStation 2 nearby, and you can bet he's planning on figuring out how to play these things.

What in the -worlds- has he found here?]

=| Youuu twwwwo....

[Sorry, boys. The arms are being folded and she's looking squarely at you both-- although she is honestly has to fit the little smile that is twitching at the corner of her lip at Sora's teasing. Addressing Riku:]

Apparently, I'm in for another adventure that involves making sure you two don't have a contest to see who can sneak more crabs down the other one's shirt while they aren't looking. [This seems just a little more serious though. Kairi senses are tingling.]

So, what did I miss? [And you better be honest because she's pretty sick of being left in the dark with these things, okay? She's waited a year for you before-- which, by the way, that only ended when Axel decided to show up, you know?]

IT'S ALL SORA'S FAULT I PROMISE

[oathbreakers]

[Riku shoots a glare towards Sora for that one--so first you're going to pull everything you did in Monstro, then you're going to remind him of the fact that in spite of everything he did, -you- were the one to wake Kairi up, and now you're going to take a stab at his -height?- Oooh, bad plan, man.

But as he folds his arms across his chest, he responds to Kairi:]

No luck there. I haven't seen any crabs here except in the restaurant sometimes.

[He actually sounds as though he regrets that a little bit!]

But I'm the one that should be asking that. You and Sora come from a year later than I do, right?

WHAT NO WAY YOU TOTALLY WOULD'VE LAUGHED

[toysword.livejournal.com]

[That glare only serves to remind Sora that this isn't the Riku that he had gone through the Door to the Light with, who would've smiled a sad smile and looked at him with only the barest hint of that old sense of humor at a joke like that, before possibly ruffling his hair or giving him a noogie. He only barely manages to suppress the wince, but that 'Sorry' look on his face says enough.

And, he responds to Kairi with more than a little of his usual exaggeration:] What?! No way! I learned my lesson about the crabs last time!

[But Riku's half-statement, half-question makes his expression go serious again. A whole year... yeah, that sounds about right, even if he slept through a lot of it. Who knows what Riku was up to while he was asleep? Or how lonely Kairi must've been on the islands without them?] Yeah... we do.

[What should he say? Would Riku even believe him, or listen to him? This Riku wasn't filled with guilt--he was still stubborn, and jealous, and hurting from what he thought was abandonment.

It... would be difficult. Very difficult. But maybe... he and Kairi could help him stop hurting?]
