When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West
Who: Everyone! EVERYONE!
Broadcast: IF YOU WANNA
Action: Everywhere! EVERYWHERE!
When: Mid-September - Mid-October
[How's your ship doing, pardners? Is it still pretty damaged? Is it glitching out hardcore? Well, there is one place to land to take care of all that, and that's on a dusty old moon in front of a planet that no one wants to go to. On this moon, you'll find a civilization that looks a lot like one's stepped into a wild west movie, hardened cowpolk and mutant horses and all. Will you become a vigilante, hunting bounties and stopping gangs from doing their dirty work? Will you go exploring planetside, with a cowboy hat and a stalk of wheat in your mouth to complete the look? Good luck with that; there is no wheat. This town ain't big enough for all you flooters, but make it so! For the ratings!
In other words, it's a planet mingle! Get 'er done!]

riku at least has the decency to look guilty, and then he just sighs again, hunching his shoulders. ]
I can't remember how it felt to be in control.
no subject
Control is kind of a funny thing, I think. You get used to it, you get complacent, and you don't really realize how tenuous your grasp on it is until something rips it away. It's really a rude awakening, but if you had it once, I think you can find it again. What is it they say, about riding a bike? You never really forget how, it's just a matter of remembering the motions.
no subject
I just... don't want anyone to be hurt. Maybe everyone would be better off if I stay here when the ships pack up.
no subject
Wait, what? You're kidding, right? [He shakes his head.] Riku, nobody's getting left behind, come on. Who's gonna keep Robin out of trouble without you around? And think of how upset Kairi'll be if you just ditch us to live in Dusty McSandsville.
[He makes a face halfway between a pout and a scowl.]
I'd be pretty upset too, okay? Nobody's as fun to harass as you are.
no subject
I'm not kidding... I dunno about any of those, but isn't not being hurt because of me and being a little sad better?
no subject
[He shakes his head, leaning back on his hands again.]
If it were Kairi who was having trouble controlling her powers, you'd fall on your Keyblade before you left her behind. Don't you think she feels the same way?
no subject
... yeah, but... [ any risk is a risk. ugh. he huffs and steels himself, crossing his arms. ]
Why couldn't they just give me back my powers without my Darkness?
no subject
Gee, I dunno, why couldn't they just give me back my heart? Sometimes you get the short end of the stick and that's just the way life is. You've got your powers back, now you've just gotta learn to control them again--personally? I think that's a pretty good deal.
[Axel gives a hefty sigh then, twisting one little finger in his ear.]
Tell you what. You know I can feel that Darkness, right? If it'll make ya feel better, if I feel your powers start going all haywire or something, I'll portal right on over to the Bloodsport and knock you out, okay?
no subject
riku hesitates, looking up at him. should he...? ]
Ah, how're you gonna feel it all across space? Come on, you've got limitations too. Don't put yourself out there for my sake.
[ he's blushing. and crossing his arms.
baka i don't need your help it's not like i'm grateful you suggested it BAKA ]
no subject
[There's a beat of silence and he gives him a sidelong look.]
You can ask for help when you need it, you know? That's what friends are for, right?
[And that's what they are, these days... right? Friends. It's a little strange to say it, honestly, but Axel enjoys Riku's company well enough. He would help him out if he needed it!]
no subject
since when are they friends? riku would call lea a friend, but can he call axel one? riku looks at him a little warily, unsure of where to stand. but then, he supposes that just an ally wouldn't have helped him calm down when the thunderstorm hit... maybe they are friends?
riku's not sure where that line begins or ends, really. he sighs after a moment, holding his head. ]
W-well, yeah, I just... didn't know we were friends.
no subject
Well, sure we are! We talk, we hang out, I'd give a damn if you were kidnapped by hostile aliens, I think that's grounds for a friendship, don't you?
no subject
no subject
I-it's not like there's a rubric, sheesh. But yeah, I figure kidnapping is a good place to draw a line in the sand. If you don't care if someone gets kidnapped by hostile aliens then you're probably not friends.
no subject
Okay, okay. Well, I guess I'd care, so I... [ hesitates. ] I guess we're friends.
no subject
no subject
You're right.
I do care, okay? Admitting it's just weird to do it, especially so plainly...
no subject
Riku, I'm just messing with you. I'm not so good at talking about feelings, either. S'kinda hard when ya haven't got any, anyway.
Let's just settle on this: if anything goes wrong with your powers, I'll try and help ya out, okay? [He offers his hand to shake.] I can't promise I'll be able to do anything--you've kicked my ass before, after all--but I'll give it my best shot. Deal?
no subject
[ he hesitantly takes his hand, and then gives a firm nod. ] I'll try not to kick your ass as hard.
no subject
I guess that's really all I can ask.
