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.]

[Well, they are more than just very colorful and fluffy pets. Though they quite excel at being just that too.

Riku doesn't really take notice of her reaction to his using Darkness - most people in the tower don't seem to care and Riku certainly has stopped caring about what people think of it (at least while he's in a battle situation); it's his element of choice, the one that he has most skill with (though he is quickly catching up to the others thanks to Terra). Besides, for now it's more important to clear out the floor, right?

Hopefully, that won't take all that long. He'll back up her Fission Firagas with a Fira or two for that.]

[that she knows. ...Vaguely. After bonding with a certain tigermom.

With the two of them utilizing Fire magic and other spells without much difficulty, it shouldn't take long at all. Though with how they are sparking, Aqua has decided not to use many skill that could potentially have her growing too close to them. Distance was key.

That was her thought process a few Glacier spells ago.]

[justabignobody]

[Well, maybe tigermom can show her some of her real moves sometimes! :3

Distance is indeed the name of the game, though it's admittedly one that Riku isn't quite used to - he is more a close-to-mid-distance fighter himself. But well, he might as well get some practice on this in, right?

Right now he keeps switching between Blizzard and Fire spells - might as well make this practice in more sense than one - while Highwind keeps hindering their opponents by casting Sleepra, Zero Graviga and Confusing Waves, while dodging around swiftly and cheerfully.

There are quite a few advantages to being the only one with the ability to fly on both sides.]

[destinedwaters]

[This doth seem legit! :3

Practice makes perfect! And it is definitely something even Aqua could get more of as time went on. Switching between Fire, Blizzard, and Time magic, she keeps her distance (and likely grows a little closer to Riku) before she jumps into the air, summoning several orbs of light. One by one, she smacks them towards their targets without a second thought.

At least she can rift and hover. It's likely kept her from a few electrical burns, at this rate.]

[justabignobody]

[And one day it will happen!

Riku pauses for just a second, watching as she summons those light orbs (and he may or may not look kind of very impressed), but is abruptly snapped back into the battle when a bolt of electricity hits him and he gasps in pain when the current painfully races along his nerves.

Highwind is at his side a second later, flinging out another Zero Graviga to clear up their immediate surroundings for a moment while Riku regains his bearings and casts Cure on himself before attacking with new vigor, because really that just now had served him right for not paying attention.

He's not going to make that mistake any time soon again. :|]

[destinedwaters]

[She sees that impressed look, but disregards it for now because she notices that gasp even more.]

Here!

[-she raises her Keyblade up into the air, and a fireworks display begins. Yet as the sparks fall on them and Highwind, it's almost as though a magical shield forms over their skin and clothing before she transforms her blade into a sort of crossbow. The monster she shoots with an arrow of light does not seem to like that...]

[justabignobody]

[After some months of training under Terra, Riku has almost come to expect to seeing magic that he wouldn't have thought possible - or useful (come on, fireworks?) - and he is still slightly awed by seeing a Keyblade shift into an entirely new form, but he tugs that feeling away, nods in thanks and concentrates on their opponents again, working combinations of Highwind's Zero Graviga and his own Blizzard magic.

They ought to reach the end of it soon, right?]
