Entry tags:
All hearts begin in darkness, and all so end... [BACKDATED to the event]
Characters: Riku [AU3] and OPEN
Setting: All around the tower.
Format: Action preferred.
Summary: Riku's collar has shifted to orange, leaving him extremely lightheaded and his darkness out of control. What he once had in check is now raging inside him. Somewhere around the 13th - 15th, I guess! I'm not too picky.
Warnings: May get kinda violent? We shall see!
[The moment his collar changed colors, he knew something was wrong. All of the sudden, he could barely keep his head on straight. It was like he was in a constant daze. To make matters worse, he felt like something was squeezing his heart. Crushing it, even. To make matters worse, he kept thinking about his guilt, loneliness, jealousy, fear... and rage. Rage because of his own selfish actions, rage because of that Replica who'd stolen his best friend, and rage because of the Organization that rewrote his memories.
Since then, he's tried to keep his mind off of these harsh feelings. To find something to distract himself despite his dizziness.
It's just not working.
Those wandering the tower may find Riku stumbling around with his Keyblade in hand, complete with a darker appearance than usual. As he moves, he often stops to clutch onto the front of his shirt, breathing heavily.
His eyes are, oddly, gold in color. He probably hasn't noticed this yet. However, he does frequently stop to launch dark fireballs at any approaching monsters or, heck, anything that gets too close. He's not thinking straight. He just can't control this power. After all, it's a power he refused to use before. Now that same darkness is eating away at him.]

He uses the opportunity to take a step closer and reach out to place a hand on his doubles shoulder.]
You are dealing with your Darkness. It's not supposed to be easy.
[Read: Suck it up. >.>;
So much for the unhelpful. He'll try to do better now.]
Breath. Try thinking about Kairi. You wouldn't want her to see you like this, right?
no subject
Kairi... she wouldn't--
I believe in you!
Those words ring in the back of his mind, and he shuts his eyes tightly. He does just what his double instructed him to and tries to breath slowly. Carefully.
His head's still spinning, his heart's still throbbing. Any minute now, he could send more darkness flying through the air-- there's definitely some forming around his hand, even if he's trying to hold it back.]
no subject
Just knowing something is maybe not quite enough to instruct others with any semblance of sense though - even though he's been trying to instruct the other Sora, it's hard to find the words for something he just realized... with maybe a little help of Naminé.
...Especially when he has some control issues himself.
Speaking of which, his Darkness just started to act up as well - maybe as reaction to his double - his shadow darkening, then slowly crawling up his feet... He takes a breath of his own, eyes closing, grip tightening even more, as he wills the Darkness away again.
He takes another breath, blinking to get some of that damn lightheaded feeling to pass, as he well tries to explain what is maybe kind of hard to put in words.]
You can't fight it directly. The Darkness... it fights back, grows stronger the more you deny that it's there... and that's not a battle that can be won on the long run, especially not with the tower interfering.
