Characters: OU!Riku and OPEN
Setting: All the floors, Night time
Format: Gonna go with action; but if you are more comfortable with prose, go for it!
Summary: Riku decided to go out at night and take on a private fact-finding mission. Someone has to start taking notes on the different monsters after all, right?
Warnings: Some violence, will update as needed

[Ever since the Tower had folded itself together into one room and almost overwhelmed its residents/prisoners with that army of monsters, the floors have become far more unsafe... at least, as far as Riku had noticed.

He is used to the constant threat of being attack, has gotten used to it long before he had been drawn into the tower, but the constellation of creatures it has thrown at him so far... is interesting to say at least. Some of them he knows of course, but there are many, far too many, he thinks, that he knows nothing of, that don't feel like Heartless or Nobodies or anything else he's ever encountered and he's pretty sure that only some of them are creatures of the tower.

Tonight he has assigned himself a fact-finding mission in that regard - to find out just which Heartless have made it to this place, just how many other creatures aside of them, to get an idea how to fight those he doesn't know.

He is wandering the floors in silence, head slightly bowed, his hand gripping tight around Soul Eater as he stretches his sense the best he can - he prefers not to be surprised if he can help it. While he won't ask or even accept help if offered aloud, he most likely won't stop anyone from helping out either, if he happens to be in the middle of a fight. He won't hesitate to come help out, should anyone find themselves in trouble either.

Help/bother/distract/talk to him?]

[...Generally, he probably does. He doesn't sleep all too much anymore, barely more than a few hours per night and even those are uneasy. Still it's not (or at least only partly) the reason why he's out right now, so he shakes his head.]

No. What about you?

[selenic]

I just wanted to make sure no one needed any help.

[justabignobody]

[He crooks his head slightly.]

Do you have experience with fighting the monsters here then?

[selenic]

Not here, but there are many different types of monsters in my world!

[justabignobody]

[Hmm...]

...Do you recognize any of the monsters you've seen in this place so far?

[selenic]

No, but not all of them are terribly different.

[justabignobody]

[He nods.]

I see. Thank you.

[selenic]

[She smiles.]

You're welcome. What are you up to?

[justabignobody]

[A pause.]

...I'm collecting information on the monsters that have started to appear recently.

[selenic]

Oh! That's a wonderful idea! Would you like help?

[justabignobody]

[Another pause as a flicker of uncertainty flashes over his face. He hadn't meant to invite company.]

...I'm fine by myself right now.

[selenic]

Oh. Okay.

[She shoots him a little smile.]

Let me know if you change your mind?

[justabignobody]

[He nods.]

I will.

[selenic]

My name is Estelle. It was a pleasure meeting you!

[She gives him a little bow.]

[justabignobody]

I'm Riku.

[He returns the bow.]

Likewise.
