011

Characters: Riku and WIDE OPEN!
Setting: after this thread; Floor 14 - Media Floor
Format: Action preferred, but I'll match
Summary: Riku asked about his Halloween costume, Ruana supplied a DVD. Clearly this calls for a MOVIE NIGHT~!
Warnings: flailing, popcorn throwing, but I doubt there will be anything beyond that. Also, feel free to threadjack around as you like? |D


[At first, Riku isn't entirely sure what to do with the disc Ruana left with him... the terminal wouldn't play it though, which leaves him with one other floor that probably suits his needs.

...He is probably a little to curious/bothered by all of this, he thinks as he climbs up the stairs to the Media Floor.

And still it doesn't keep him from tracking down the right slot to stuff that disc into and settling back into one of the couches, glancing down when Highwind materializes from a cluster of clouds and curls against his side, frowning down at him as the ballet starts. Then he just shakes his head and focuses on the film before him, one hand absently settling in the bat's fur.

Time to see what this story Ruana had spoken of was all about.

Care to join him?]

[And coming into the room is a familiar blond girl. She spots Older!ku's bat] Oh hey, is that Highwind? [She hasn't noticed the other two Riku's yet]
keybearer: (startled)

[Awww, that's no fun! The little dragon whines and squirms, flailing its front legs. Yet despite its whining, Riku maintains a firm hold on the critter.]

Wonder if they're related somehow. They're definitely both bursting with--

[Oh, hi, Colette. He'll pause mid-sentence and raise an eyebrow at his double.]

Wait, you named yours after the raft?
clumsyjesus: (Smiling back)

[personal profile] clumsyjesus 2012-12-11 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh come on, FLUFFY IS THE BEST NAME EVER! AFTER POOCHIE! It's then Colette finally notices the two boys. She gives a little wave] Oh, hello! I know you both!

[Glancing at them both, she realises that they look really similar. Oh, maybe they're brothers! Or something like that. And what's that weird lizard?]

You do, huh?

[Well, that's interesting... not to mention ironic. The question is, does she know they're both Rikus?

Whatever the case, the dragon whines and flails his front legs. C'mon! He wants to say hi to this new person, let him go!

Riku, unwavering in his grip, glances back to his double.]


And even if they do share an emblem, that doesn't exactly explain what they are. Definitely not Heartless.
clumsyjesus: (Huh?)

[YOU DARE CRITICIZE COLETTE'S CHOICE OF ANIMAL NAMES?]

Yeah, I do! [And she glances at the two of them, blinking. They do look really alike. She still doesn't know about the alternate realities thing, so...]

Um.....I'm sorry for asking, but....are you two related?

keybearer: (listen)

[personal profile] keybearer 2012-12-27 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, actually...

[Riku pauses, folding his arms over his chest. With the new found freedom, his dragon scurries closer to Highwind and Colette and cocks his head to the side.

Ignoring his Dream Eater, Riku focuses in on Colette.]


We're kind of the same person, just from different universes.
clumsyjesus: (I've realised something!)

[personal profile] clumsyjesus 2012-12-27 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, at least you guys have prevented her from having the theory that you're either brothers or one of you is a convincing body-double]

What?! The....same person from different universes?! [Shit.....Colette knows about the concept of different worlds - after all, her world, Sylvarant, had a parallel world called Tethe'alla and Tethe'alla even had its own Chosen One. Still, she had never heard of anything like this before!

Maybe there was another Colette out there. That would be weird...]
keybearer: (o rly?)

[personal profile] keybearer 2012-12-29 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

[He brings a hand to his chin.]

Think of it like this. We both started out on roughly the same track, but our lives took a different turn at one key point. We're both Riku, but we have completely different experiences under our belts.
clumsyjesus: (^_^)

[personal profile] clumsyjesus 2012-12-30 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
.....So there might be another Colette out there. [And she looks deep and thoughtful for a second. Maybe sad?]

Maybe one who's....[And Colette suddenly stops there. She was going to say "Maybe one who has saved the world". Maybe there is a Colette out there did not fail her role as a Chosen.....or was, rather.

Not that Colette is going to say anything about that for the moment. She feels that it would be selfish of her to talk to the two Rikus about her problems - especially since they are in a terrible place like the Tower, anyway, and probably have suffered enough from it, already. They will have enough on their plates.

So instead, she just puts on a smile.]


Well, I admit it's kind of strange. I never would have believed something like that would have happened until I came here. So there might be fifteen Professor Sages out there. That would mean more homework!

Only if they ganged up on you. If it's any consolation, though, I've never seen more than two versions at a time.

[Which is probably for the best. Otherwise, it'd get way too confusing. If doubles started pouring in from every nook and cranny, they'd need a whole slew of name tags.]
