The People United Will Never Be Defeated!

[justabignobody]

Characters: Everyone interested in getting back into their body
Setting: 9/18, after this post (may be extended to following days)
Format: Action, prose, whatever you'd like to go with!
Summary: Dax Is A Bro and left a clue. Now it's up to the Tower residence to unite and figure it out.
Warnings: None as of yet, will be adapted as needed.

[After making that post - the first he is aware of - Riku just sighs (one that turns into a cough all of sudden... don't tell him he's coming down with something on top of everything else?!).

There is really no telling how many people will follow his call out, but hopefully there will be some at least. And hopefully they will have more idea what this clue means than he does.

He turns his seat towards the entrance of the floor. Time to see who would turn up.]

[Riku is... well... trying to slouch in his chair (it's a little more difficult with a body and heart that is rather used to sitting straight, okay), as he watches just who all shows up for this.

Well... looks like he isn't the only one interested in teaming up.

(...There may be a tiny sigh of relieve escaping him. So maybe he wasn't quite confident if this would work. He usually isn't the one to call for this kind of thing, okay?)]

[shore_leave]

[That's right, sit up straight while you're in his body.

But from his spot nearby, he's noticing the turn-out and... yep. Grinning a little.] Not bad at all. We might be able to figure out how to fix this after all.

[There must be at least one scientist among this group that he can bounce ideas off of... if not, then just bouncing ideas around usually lead somewhere.]

[powerforfriends]

[But sitting straight is boring. :(

Riku nods at this, though he doesn't seem quite as optimistic.]

Might be.

[Time will tell.]

[shore_leave]

[It beats using Cure on a sore back.] ...

[Walking over, and as surreal as this is for him, considering that it's his body he's about to do this to?

... Sorry, Riku. That's a hair-ruffle. Your fault for sitting down.] I know it's tough, but try to stay positive. We've still got time to sort this out.

[powerforfriends]

[.........Okay fine. :|

It's probably as surreal for Riku because a.) nobody has dared to ruffle his hair since he turned eleven and b.) well. this is Terra's body he's in. He hadn't even ever thought he'd be subjected to something like that, because well... who would dare?

For a moment he draws absolutely blank on just how to react to it, before just settling on sending the other a slightly disgruntled glance (he better not do it again. :|), then shakes his head.]

A few days at most. If at all.

[He doesn't put it beyond Jason to lie about what time they have left until this 'experiment' blows up on them.

Besides, someone has to stay realistic Optimism is for people like Sora.]

[keymains]

[After meeting with Terra, it wasn't hard to guess where his double went so, after some hesitation, Riku sluggishly approaches.]

Hey... Looks like you lucked out this time.

[His tone's a bit... off for him to truly be Vanitas. It's soft. Slightly uncertain.]

[powerforfriends]

[Yeah... he doesn't sound like Vanitas - that's for sure. It's still a pretty vague statement, so. Excuse him, he's going to keep his face neutral for now.]

That so?

[keymains]

'least you aren't stuck in a body like this.

[He groans.]

It's me, the other Riku. And you might want to watch out because he's here, too. In my body.

[powerforfriends]

[Excuse him, he needs to stare for a moment. Of all the people possible, he hasn't exactly expected this.]

...I guess, I really lucked out.

[Okay no. Shaking that look off his face. Because yeah. Okay, he's all business now, because yeah, Vanitas running around in his doubles body.]

I will.

[keymains]

Yeah. And at least Terra won't try pulling any fast ones in your body.

[Riku groans.]

He's got Kairi's charm. And... Sora's necklace.

[He runs one hand through his hair, shaking his head.]

I'd try and take them back, but... I don't want this body getting anywhere near them either, on the off chance that we switch back soon.

[powerforfriends]

[...You have no idea how bad OU!ku feels for you right now, Keyku.

Really. Nobody deserves this.

And those items in the hands of Vanitas... they can't leave them there.]

You could get them and give them to me or Terra. They'll be safe and once this madness is over you'll get them back.

[keymains]

I just have to find the right approach.

[He sneers.]

One wrong move, and he could do some serious damage to them. And I don't even know how to work this body yet.

[powerforfriends]

[A nod.]

Letting him keep them isn't really an option either though. As for that... try not to think too much about it. You have his heart... it should remember how his abilities work.

[...Though it's maybe kind of risky to try out. Admittedly.]
