08 - accidental voice/video [action for Sora and Kairi]

[Well, after that storm and the hassle of making camp, Riku had been sleeping, but in the midst of his sleep something seems to have disturbed him, as he wakes up with a groan... Only, everything's pitch black, and it feels like there's something covering his face. Oh yes, and he's suddenly in a cloak, one that some may find familiar...]

What...?

[Ugh. Reaching up for his face now, he can feel the blindfold.]

Is this some kind of joke?

[ooc: Because he doesn't like his future. B) Still mentally the same, though.]

Right. So, let me get this straight, giving into the darkness changes me?

Think of it as a side-effect. You did it willingly really.

At least it was just to help him, unlike some of the other things you've told me.

[ugh, still.]

So how do I change back?

Well Ansem the Wise had a machine that more or less exploded and Kingdom Hearts itself exploded as well, releasing millions of Heartless...so that changed you back then but now I'm not sure.

Can't say that helped much. I mean, it's not like this Ansem guy's around.

[...or that he got most of that, but.]

Guess I could try putting that blindfold back on.

...yeah could you? Sorry, it's just really awkward looking at you right now.

Fine with me. I'd rather not look like this, anyway.

[aand, putting it back on. After a moment, he's back to looking more Riku-like.]

This should only last for about a week. Then you'll be back to normal. [there's a small satisfied sigh as Riku returns to well, her memory of current!Riku]

Great. So I have to go around wearing a blindfold for a week.

[pff. He'll just push half of it up again, so he can at least see.]

Guess it could be worse.

Guess this makes up for you not being affected by the last one? [trying to make a joke of it, really]

Gee, thanks. But at least I can still talk.

[...that might just be a bit of a smirk.]

So, Xehanort's Heartless. Just who is that?

Don't push your luck.

Anyway, Xehanort's the man who was the apprentice to Ansem the Wise. He's Xemnas' Other as well.

Wasn't last time more like possession, anyway?

[pff.]

That doesn't explain much, Kairi. Like what he has to do with me.

Sora might have better answers for you. He knows more about it.

You know...maybe we should head back to the village in the morning just until this is over. Just to be safe.

But will he actually say anything? Neither of you wanted to say anything in the first place.

[shakes his head]

Anyway, I don't think we need to leave. This doesn't seem dangerous so much as annoying.

Just tell him I said it was okay.

Maybe, but I'd feel better at least...and who knows, maybe some of our friends need our help anyway. At least think about it?

Worth a shot, I guess.

[shrug]

If it really bugs you that much I'll think about it. Maybe we better see what Sora thinks about this.

It wouldn't hurt. [shrugs as well]

I just...I'm kind of worried, that's all. The last experiment had a couple of stages to it, we don't know if this one will.

It'd probably help if we knew what kind of experiment this is...

That's true. Obviously form-altering. Maybe we can ask but I guess it's up to Captain Sora.

Could just as easily ask over the journals.

[though, hm. He pauses for a moment.]

All I know is that most of what you've told me is pretty recent. Think that has anything to do with it?

...maybe...you really think it's okay that we don't go back? [Kairi does not approve ~~mun's being selfish and needs Sora back in town~~]

Well, I guess we could always try this again later. It's just a pain. We've been held back so long, and then this happens.

[groan]

But it's really up to you and Sora.

...if Sora thinks we're okay staying out here, we'll stay. You've got a point, I can easily just talk to people from the journals.

Exactly. Might as well start somewhere, anyway.
