Characters: Riku (justabignobody), Terra (earthshards) and everyone else who's blowing off steam that night
Setting: all across the tower, night time after the Q&A
Format: Go for whatever you want! /o/
Summary: After that little 'Q&A', Riku needs to blow off some steam. He's unlikely to be the only one.
Warnings: Violence, fighting, monsters all across the board!!!

[Well... for all that this meeting earlier in the day had been informative(-ish), thanks to certain situations with certain administrators, Riku really feels like punching something at the end of it, frustration and anger making his finger twitch restlessly.

It's really only good that he's long stopped acting on that kind of feelings, has learned to channel them into Darkness, into power, instead. It's really a good thing that the Tower provides them with outlets. And that Riku doesn't have a shift to work tonight.

Highwind is fluttering just over his shoulder, chirping softly as he walks down the stairs, hand tight around his Keyblade.

It's time to take out some monsters.]

[A: Floor 58]

[Miniblins? Really? Let's see, there must be... about a dozen this time. But even such a large group doesn't matter in such a big room when he doesn't need to stay on the ground.

Right now he's blasting electricity at one of the miniblins trying to crawl up a rafter to where he's hovering - it's never going to make it to the point where it can bite. Several others are crawling up other rafters, but if they get too close then Zett will just swoop somewhere else and they'll have to make their way back to him again.

He doesn't seem to mind if he brushes a hanging corpse or two. He's seen worse.]

[B: Stairways]
[Zett usually elects to walk just because it's less of a shock when he gets somewhere flying is disabled. He's careful as he goes down the steps, but keeps a relatively brisk pace.]

[Riku's batpet Highwind isn't quite as smart - it whistles cheerfully as it zips downstairs, careless of if it might enter a floor that will ground it seconds later. Riku just sighs as he takes the stairs a little bit more paced, before calling after his pet-friend.]

I told you to stop doing that.

[scentofmakai]

[Zett grins and picks the bitty thing up.]

Aww. Someone might mistake you for a monster, you know.

[justabignobody]

[Highwind flaps his wings, grinning widely at the new person. Pet him, pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaase? 8DDD

Riku arrives just in time to catch that statement and can't help but roll his eyes.]

Only until they actually look at him.

[Because that expression Highwind is giving you know? He's doing it all the time. And asking all the people to be nice to him and give him scratches and treats. Somehow he's getting away with it. Not even Riku is sure how.]

[scentofmakai]

Sometimes scary things come in cute packages.

[But this one gets all the pets he wants from Zett. Successfully swayed by that expression.]

[justabignobody]

Not with that kind of expression.

[Though Riku generally agrees... Shadows kind of look ridiculous cuddly after all... right until the moment they try to rip your heart out anyways.

Yaaaayyyy! 8333]

[scentofmakai]

Could be a very convincing actor.

[justabignobody]

[A snort.]

I suppose.

[And then he whistles once lowly; Highwind's ears twitching at the sound, then he starts to wiggle in Zett's grip. Let him down, pleaaase?]

[scentofmakai]

[Down you go, little guy.]

They come in all shapes and sizes.

[justabignobody]

[And off he goes and hops back to his human partner, who is crouching down to allow him to jump up into his arms and use them to somehow climb until he's on his usual place on Riku's shoulder, grin wide and content as he settles there.]

Can't argue with that.

[scentofmakai]

What're you doing out so late?

[It's probably the same as him, but he asks anyway.]

[justabignobody]

[Probably. Hence, have a shrug.]

This and that.

[Sorry, but Riku likes being vague about his business. Even if it isn’t much of a secret.]

[scentofmakai]

That's pretty vague. Must be fun, though, to be worth going out at night.

[justabignobody]

It's something to do, anyways.

[Not that he is being bored or anything.]

And you? What are you doing here at this hour of the night?

[scentofmakai]

Just beating up stuff. The usual.
