[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?]

[Sora's excitement is infectious, but as soon as the scene starts rolling, Kairi's face falls.

That... That had not gone well. The impulse to knock their heads together for the whole thing is overridden by a wave of sympathy. Kairi's had more than one conversation recently which has turned into a complete and total misunderstanding.]

So that's why...?

[Kairi falls silent and looks between them. Should she really put the tension that's been hanging about them into words? No. Instead she tries to think of something to bridge the gap, but a moment later she's glaring at Maleficent on screen.]

She's-...

[Kairi doesn't have words appropriate for what Maleficent is. Instead she clenches her fists on her knees and watches.]

[sunnysidesora.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah, shut up. [He laughs none the less. But.]

[Sora's bottom lip is gone again, stuck between his teeth as he gnaws upon it. He remembers this encounter. He'd been so.. deflated, when Riku left. When he just up and vanished. He hadn't said anything, but he had been more than a little upset at Donald for doing that. There really was no problem with him coming along, but.. Back then, he hadn't been as close with those two as he was now.

But hindsight is a great thing. Kairi's reaction is a little more eye-catching anyway. Maleficent. Even Sora is cringing, brows heaving in the center of his forehead, eyes down.]

She was annoying to defeat, I'll say that much. [But it would be quite a while to do that.]

[oathbreakers]

[She was -right-, was what she was.

When Kairi makes poses her cut-short question, Riku can't help but snort quietly, derisively. He's not even looking at the screen--Kairi, you haven't seen -anything- yet. Just wait.

And then Maleficent's onscreen, and even looking away from the screen as he is he can't miss her reaction. He speaks under his breath, quietly, nudging her almost imperceptibly, though he's -still- not looking back. Sorry, Sora, this is something he doesn't want you hearing.]

It was nothing, Kairi. Don't worry about it.

[And then louder, slightly impatient, as though by pushing forward he can make them forget the scenes they've just seen:]

Are we done here? Let's move on.

[lightwithin]

Um... Sure.

[Kairi gently takes the controller from Sora and walks game!Sora up to the bell tower. Another crash-trinity and three tolls of the bell later, and the keyhole's revealed.]

Hey, didn't we already beat this one?

[No, apparently not. Kairi frowns; since when does switching your hands with your feet bring you back to life?

She's actually not doing too badly against the second Guard Armour. She manages to get three of its limbs and is chasing the fourth when suddenly, it turns into a canon and shoots her.]
