[ ...

riku makes a face. ]

Now that you mention it...

[idealistic]

You knew another guy named Riku?

[ does this involve dimension shenanigans again ]

[wilder]

[He points a finger at Riku] Hey now, you had your chance when we first talked. No take-backs now.

[And he glances at Lloyd]

Yeah. More...alternate dimension stuff, I guess. You get that a lot.

[limitstorm]

[ he sighs and shrugs. ]

I already trust you, no point in takebacks.

Apparently we met on a different world--I've never been there. Unless it's in my future.

[ time to play: time travel or alternate universes??? ]

[idealistic]

This is already confusing me...

[ and they didn't even delve into things fully. what happened to life when it was simple? ]

So... you met Kaneis already... but you also didn't?

[wilder]

[Argh that T word again, he glances at his feet- and pretends to just huff at Riku confusing Lloyd MORE]

Argh- don't go throwing time travel theories in too, Riku. You'll hurt him before the bears even get a chance.

[limitstorm]

[ riku makes a noise and then sighs. ]

Alright, alright. I'll figure out a way to explain it later. Trying to make illusions on the go isn't too safe.

[idealistic]

Illusions?

[ whup-- interest piqued. ]

[wilder]

[He gives Riku an expected look. ITS ALL ON YOU BRO]

1/2

[limitstorm]

[ he looks at kaneis to expl--

wha

oh god really

fuck ]

2/2

[limitstorm]

[ dear light why

riku runs a hand through his hair slowly, ending with him rubbing the back of his neck. ]

Little ones. Not enough to be dangerous--like... magic models. My Master taught me how, in case I need to explain stuff to people.

[idealistic]

[ do you see those stars in his eyes, Riku? because they're definitely there, brightening the more he explains. ]

Really? You can do that kind of stuff?!

[ THAT IS AWESOME RIKU YOU'RE SO AWESOME ]

That is so cool! You have to show me sometime!

[wilder]

[He gives a nod]

It does sound pretty cool.

[limitstorm]

[ as riku's shoulders hunch, his face slooowly turns bright red, hands in his pockets. ]

I-it's not that impressive.

[idealistic]

Of course it is! I never heard of anyone who could make their own illusions.

[ did anyone else forget that they're supposed to be on the job? because Lloyd sure did. ]

Is it like summoning?

[wilder]

[He gives a sigh at Lloyd; nevermind being distracted from the job as well]

Oh c'mon- unless these illusions are living creatures, I doubt it's summoning.

[limitstorm]

Aren't you guys on a job?

[ exasperated attempt to divert attention, get! ]

[idealistic]

[ now see, Lloyd was about to argue that he thought it was LIKE summoning not that it WAS summoning (Riku didn't mention making any sort of pacts so he knows it's not summoning DUH) until Riku spoke up. ]

Guh-- I-I know that! [ lmao OOPS? ]

How far is that mine shaft again?

[wilder]

[-!!]

Oh! Right! That!

[TOTALLY PROFESSIONAL HERE YEP YEP]

Uh...I think it shouldn't be far now. They said due west- [a beat] This is west right?

[limitstorm]

[ ... sigh. ]

You're both hopeless.

[ riku stops, closing his eyes and tipping his chin down as he focuses. they aren't too far from the city... are they headed west away from it? with a quiet grunt, he opens an eye and peers around them. ]

We're more northwest, but we're on the right track.

[idealistic]

[ ...now see, he knew about the cardinal direction bit (navigating through forests ye). but as long as they aren't far - or didn't end up missing it completely. ]

You think we should turn a little to the left here? Head more to the west?

[wilder]

I...guess?

[HE'S FROM THE CITY DON'T ASK HIM THESE THINGS. Why don't these trees have street signs jeez]

[limitstorm]

[ this is weird. riku has never felt this kind of disturbance from his darkness before--he frowns and opens his eyes, pressing his hand against the side of his head. since when did it become even a little harder to sense things?

... well, this is their job, so he'll let them figure it out. at least they know where they are, now. he doesn't want to overstay his welcome. ]

[idealistic]

C'mon.

[ TIME TO PLAY LEADER AGAIN, THEN. he gestures to the left before making his way due west. it's harder in the snow, but if he could find anything resembling a cleared path, this'll make their lives easier-- actually... ]

I wonder if we can see it from here.

[wilder]

[YAY LEADERSHIP. Kaneis follows along, giving a slight glance at Riku pressing his hand on his head- but making no comment on it. You okay man?]

[But he'll address Lloyd]

Probably not with these trees, but... [Right. That reminds him that he could try listening. So he pauses and tries to pay attention to the sound going on around him. And sure enough, after a moment of trying to filter the sounds- he can hear the faint sounds of bear growls and what sounds like heavy footsteps against stone - much too heavy to be human.] ...I think I hear 'em. Unless there's other mines with bears around, we should be there soon.

[Will he bother to explain how he can hear this to the human in the group? NAAAAH]
