Characters: OU!Riku and open
Setting: Dormitory floors, Cafeteria (001), both libraries (003 & 019), Block 1 Outdoor Floors (011 & 020), Meadow Floor (025), Hedge Maze (029), Beach Floor (062); just all the places where Riku is prone to hanging out; taking place over the course of the week following the event
Format: Action, but I'll match
Summary: With Zelda and most of Dax's Armee compromised, Riku struggles with his paranoia as he tries to figure out just what the hell the rest of them is supposed to do now.
Warnings: Nothing note worthy, probably?
[After the first shock of Guy's network announcement passed, Riku has spent most his time feeling on edge, quiet and more withdrawn into books and magic practice and just waiting what consequences Jason's success would bring (It's thankfully not really that differently to how he acts usually).
He observes the changes with a light frown, quietly taking note of the increased number of retrieval units in the tower and around certain people, and while he is utterly stumped on what they are doing on the power draining floors when about half the tower is on disadvantage there anyways (though he supposes, that works in his favor at least), it's hardly hard to guess just why they are around latter. He hasn't been overly involved in the Princesses' efforts - not in any visible way at least - and there are only few people that know of his visit on the administrative levels back in Febrary. All things considered, he should probably keep it that way.
It's kind of maddening he thinks as he moves through his day; he's long been aware that privacy isn't all that big around here, but overall he still can't help the paranoid feeling of being watched - it's utterly irrational and really... being too much on edge is almost just as bad as being too careless. It won't help anyone, least of all himself, he knows that.
What might help is to act as normal as possible... and to figure out how to go from there.
To say that that's easier said than done, is a bit of an understatement though.]

Why Ivan? How does that fit it?
[He doesn't see it, to be honest.]
no subject
Well, in The Master and Margarita, there's a character named Ivan who has a very long chase scene with the Devil and his posse. He tries his best, but since it's the Devil, he fails to nab him. This drone keeps chasing me just like Ivan would chase the Devil, so I gave him that name.
no subject
[Somewhat. Though why Tohko would liken herself to the Devil is beyond him.]
no subject
Good..come to think of it, have you ever read The Master and Margarita?
no subject
I haven't.
[He doesn't read much fiction anymore.]
no subject
Maybe you should then! It's a wonderful novel, and I'm sure it would help you deal with some of the people in this Tower sometimes.
no subject
[Maybe. Though he has no idea what to do with that statement; he's never needed much (or really any) help dealing with the people in the tower.]
no subject
Alright then..hopefully you'll decide to read it then. It's a fantastic story that can be enjoyed at all sorts of different levels: a satire, a slapstick, humorous novel, a fantasy novel with love mixed in, or a message that the Devil isn't as bad as we make him out to be sometimes!
