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?]

[(Perhaps a good thing, considering who his master is--)]

[Her eyes follow his frown, his gesture not missed either. She's quiet a moment once he's answered, regarding them both. Then,]

Then I hope he'll help you. [Without asking too much in return, preferably.] But you know-- I think you're right. Something about him makes it seem like he really is from our worlds. [He's the right style for it--]

[justabignobody]

[(A very good thing! 83)]

If I find anything out, I'll tell you.

[He chuckles.]

He looks silly enough for it, doesn't he?

[Highwind just headtilts at both of them and grins widely. (Whether he understood what was being talked about him or not, will forever be a mystery.)]

[lethechained]

[(Gotta be a rebel to hang out with that guy--)]

[A nod.]

Thank you.

[His chuckle gets a smaller, quieter giggle out of her.]

He does. [Pause. -- Oops, just thought of something funny. Don't mind that mischief in her smile.] You suit each other.

[And maybe it's silly, but she reflexively tilts her head in response, albeit more shallowly. HYPNOTISM-- no, just silliness.]

[justabignobody]

[Exactly! ~<3

He shoots her a thoughtful look before joining her in head-tilting at Highwind. No, no, it's really hypnotism. Hypnotism per cuteness!]

You think so?

[lethechained]

[She's not sure she counts, but if that's a prerequisite for being around him, she kind of hopes she does.]

[Her eyes flicker briefly to that look and then back to Highwind. ... They've got to look silly like this, but she finds she doesn't care.]

Mm! [And it's partially a joke, but in truth,] Something about you being together just seems right.

[justabignobody]

[There are no prerequisite to be around him, but she certainly does. There are only very few people who can guilt trip bully talk Riku into taking care of himself properly and she is pretty much right at the top of that list.

Maybe they do look silly... but as long as it's just them it should be fine, he thinks. He keeps his eyes on Highwind just a bit longer, then turns back to her with a faint grin.]

Hmm. I guess, I'll take that as a compliment.

[lethechained]

[Phew! Well, if someone has to strong-arm (read: guilt) him into looking after himself, she's content to be that someone. It's a worthy goal, as far as she's concerned.]

[And she looks over at him upon seeing him turn, a smile on her own lips.]

Hee...! If you say so~. [(Except it sort of was, but details.)]
