So, is anyone else getting a a feeling of déjà-vu around here? Seems awful late for New Feathers to show up, especially this many.

[A beat.]

But something about this does seem kind of familiar.

[And with that said, Riku will head out to scan the village and see who he can find! It's awfully crowded, so of course he's curious.]

Comments

well, I'm a fan of your Ansem either way \o/

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

[Tch.]

After everything you've done? Yeah, I'm ecstatic.

F-Ffffff...! /FLAIL!

[turntodarkness.livejournal.com]

All that I've done...? Was it not your wishes that guided me?

[A faint, overconfident smirk.]

I speak only truth!

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Because all I wanted was for you to hurt my friends and plunge the worlds into darkness.

[He shakes his head.]

Get real.

./////. Th-Thanks.

[turntodarkness.livejournal.com]

You wanted Kairi, so I delivered her. You desired revenge upon Sora, so I gave you the strength. What you did with it was of your own doing. After all...

[He lowers his arms to his sides, giving a low chuckle.]

...I hadn't even revealed myself to you when you raised your sword in an attempt to kill Sora.

No problem!

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

[Kill...

That stings like a sword through his chest. He clenches his hands into fists and shuts his eyes.

Deep breaths, and then...]

I wasn't thinking. By then, I was too focused on how I thought he'd abandoned us. Nothing was getting through to him, so I had to use force.

[turntodarkness.livejournal.com]

Is that so?

[Riku's taken the bait. It's something far too easy, for too enjoyable.]

Did you not believe in your heart--the same heart that I have spent time in--that you would sooner see them dead than to let anyone else have them?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

I'd sooner die than let anyone hurt them again.

[He's getting increasingly agitated. Good show, Ansem.]

[turntodarkness.livejournal.com]

[An amused expression.]

And how far would you go to ensure that they are yours and only yours? Or was the envy I found within your heart false?

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

I'm not like that now! I know I was selfish, but all that's changed.

[turntodarkness.livejournal.com]

A heart rarely changes in such a drastic manner.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Rarely isn't the same as never.

[turntodarkness.livejournal.com]

And you believe that you are so special to have changed? Such denial...

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Hey, not many people wield both light and darkness, either. I don't know about special, but I've changed, like it or not.

[turntodarkness.livejournal.com]

Something I doubt. You seem quite defensive, Riku.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

What, you expect me to just sit back and take everything you say?

[turntodarkness.livejournal.com]

I expect little of you, Riku.

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Right. All you want is for me to sit back and let you take the wheel.
