Characters: Riku (justabignobody), Various and Open
Setting: right after this, and the days following it
Format: Start off action, but I'll go for what's preferred.
Summary: [A] Escape =/= being safe. Clearly, the situation requires an adult, so Riku drags Xion to see the only person who probably fits all his requirements [B] Riku reports to the Higher Forces. [C] Paranoia is still a thing (or well... even more a thing than usual), but when has that ever stopped Riku from going through his day.
Warnings: None as of now? Will be updated as needed.
[A | Room 03-04 | Locked to Xion, Terra and the Anguished One, if they feel like being woken by exhausted Keybitties]
[If Riku were to think about it, he wouldn't be able to think of the last time he had been this exhausted; in this particular way at least - his left arm feels like on fire, the pain a constant throb on his mind and he is utterly burned out on both magic and Darkness. The only reason why Way to the Dawn is still in his hand is because he is clinging to it like a lifeline; as long as he is holding onto it he has at least something to defend himself with, even though he is not sure just how long he'd hold out, if he were to be attacked now.
Xion... doesn't really look much better - she isn't injured (not majorly at least), but the tiredness is written all over her face, and if one thing is clear, it's this. They need a safe place to stay for the rest of the night. Well... that as good as excludes both their rooms already, Xion's for obvious reasons and his just to be careful (even though he thinks/hopes he has not given himself away to Ganondorf) and leaves them... with very little.
They need someone trustworthy... someone stronger than either of them.
Someone who hopefully won't mind them knocking even though it's long past midnight.
There's... really only one person who fits that bill... and who Riku feels somewhat comfortable going to. And so he finds himself steering Xion towards the third dormitory floor, towards Terra's room.
He flinches just slightly when he lifts his left hand, pain racing across his skin, but he needs to knock and he can't let go of his Keyblade, not yet.
Not until they are safe.]
[B | Floor 29, 29th September | Locked to Zelda and Gandalf]
[It takes a while until Riku finds the strength to move and do what has to be done - his arm might still be hurting and the exhaustion drawn over his face, but his mind is clear and he is sitting on knowledge that needs to be passed on - starting with the attendance of that 'reunion' (or at least the names that he had been able to make out) as well as the plans he had come to overhear, ending with... whatever Reno had gotten himself into.
So he sneaks away to deliver some notes - neat, simple and to the point; a meeting spot, a time and a signature... he usually doesn't do things like this, but he hopes that Zelda and Gandalf will follow his invitation.
On the next day he finds himself sitting right in the middle of the garden in center of the maze on Floor 29, sorting through the information he had gathered, trying to figure how to best approach each topic. There isn't much else for him to do as he waits...that doesn't involve scratching at the bandage on his left arm anyways.]
[C | all around, 29th-30th September | Open]
[Even though he is still kind of unable to let go of his tension and can't help but stop before he enters a floor and sense for certain people, he refuses to let himself be effected more than that - he's gotten away clean after all; and even if he hadn't... by now it's too late to do anything about it.
So he spends his day as he always would (except for that little tidbit of extra paranoia of course) - wandering the floors, lingering at the libraries to look for one book or another (or pretend to anyways).
And well... if that leads to his running certain other people... he certainly won't be complaining about it.
Catch him if you can?]

[And well, if it isn't the admins, there are enough other people around that make life... interesting. To put it into more neutral terms.]

I think there are about twice as many floors now as there were when I arrived here.

[Or well. If there is any to it, then it's definitely beyond Riku. Not that he wants to understand it.]

That's certainly possible.
