Characters: Terra(?) and open
Setting: Dormitory Floor Three Hallways, then Floor Three
Format: Action to start off, but I'll match
Summary: It's not the first time Riku finds himself having a size that is not his own. Needless to said he is not amused. Or well... more like panicked. I accidentally a Meteor spell. After that... time to figure out just what in the Light's name is going on.
Warnings: total panic, magical mishaps and slight property destruction. Other warnings will follow as needed. Also, tags will come from powerforfriends!


[A - Room 03-04/Dormitory Floor Three Hallways]

[Over all, ever since coming back Riku has mostly woken up on a positive not - sure fighting the shadows had been exhausting, but over all? All of it is better than wandering the destroyed remains of the worlds by himself.

This day really isn't all too different at least not at the beginning. He rolls off the bed and straightens, eyes barely open...

...He is too tall.

...He is too tall.

...He is right at the height of-

Blood drains from his face within seconds, eyes widening as he stumbles over his feet, trying to move-

Nononononononono, this just can't be-

He won't remember how he had gotten out into the hallway all of sudden. Or the feeling of magic building up and up and up until-

There's a loud crash and a flash of light when the Meteor spell collides with the ground, the rock cracking and scattering all over the floor and Terra!ku is just standing right in the middle of the hallway and making a pretty dumb face.

...What exactly happened just now?]


[B - Floor 03]

[Later that day (once he has calmed down and realized that he's not quite trapped in the body he thought he was), Terra!ku can be found in the library, sitting at one of the terminals, frowning at the screen.

Well... at least from the looks of the Network, he and Terra (and whoever else he might have so far) aren't the only ones in this situation. That at least made it easy to figure out the one responsible for this mess.

Thanks a lot, Jason.

He sighs as he leans back in his seat, eyes closing as he reaches up to massage his temples. (He can feel a headache forming, flickers of memories pushing to the front of his mind, just what-)

...Next on the list; just how to reverse this again?!

Because yeah. Riku, for his part, definitely prefers being himself. No offense, Terra.]

THIS POST WAS MUCH BETTER THE FIRST TIME before my internet crashed and killed it

[Even so, she's not quite able to trust herself, because even though she chooses to do the right thing, she knows that she's capable of doing the wrong one. Though the part of her that was selfish then has been burned away and crushed down by guilt into something so small and covered over by so many other things and so much strength, those critical failures so long ago left her ever vigilant and ever fearful that she might one day be weak again. He's quite good at doing so, at least where she's concerned.]

Mm. In the mean time, maybe it would be best to try to find Terra, or your body. [Considering the situation,] Maybe both together.

[Everyone is capable of doing the wrong thing though. And everyone had a selfish streak - Riku could definitely vouch for that - and it probably couldn't be helped some of the time. Was probably even healthy to some extend at least. There is the worth of experience though, and that is what makes it quite unlikely - in Riku's eyes - that there'd ever be a repeat of Castle Oblivion. Good sheepdog?

He nods once more.]

Hopefully both.

[That would make resolving this bodyshuffle issue a little bit easier at least.]

[Maybe so, but very few of them do something that could ruin someone else's life, could ruin countless lives and even lead to the end of the universe. Few are capable of as much damage as Naminé is to not just one person but countless people, should she misuse the ability she's been given. She already has destroyed lives and taken parts of others, and that's something she can't quite forgive herself for. (The weight and worth of the experience are heavy, it's true; she's just always been her own blindspot.)]

Hopefully. It would make sense...!

[But that doesn't mean, of course, that the Tower did it that way, because since when did the administrators really care that much about what was reasonable?]

[He could continue that debate by arguing that she isn't the only one responsible for what happened, that the Organization is just as much (and really, actually even more) at fault as she is, but by now they have been at this point several times already, haven't they? Riku is certainly not going to change his mind, but if words aren't enough to show it, then actions will have to speak for him. Even if all he can offer in that regard is his unconditional trust into her. For now at least.]

It would. But it might be too optimistic to assume as much.

[Because indeed... the administrators find these kind of games amusing it seems, and their sense of humor is rather lacking. There's not much room for reason there.]

[lethechained]

[It's true, they could go round and round for some time. Such an offer is already much more than she'd expect or believe she deserves, but there's at least one thing that's certain; she'll always appreciate his trust more than she's capable of expressing.]

Of course. We'll have to wait and see.

[Precisely - which is why she didn't put too much stock in the idea in the first place, but-- well, hope is hope. Belief is something else.]
