Let the games begin!

[several days late, as has been the trend lately, the Shuffle's transmission plays for the Fleet.

...or, it tries anyway. the music doesn't even make it--just a punch of static with sad, scattered pieces of musical notes trying to struggle their way through.

when Diamond's voice is finally heard, it's only intelligible in three little bites.]


--Three disappearing from-- ... --new faces, so-- ... --Captain Halliwell--...

[and then the music blends strangely with other sounds, like someone flipping idly through broken radio stations. it takes some time for anything to come in clear, and every frequency turns up the same interference. it isn't until several minutes later that one signal suddenly stutters into clarity, and music begins to play.

wherever you are, they are playing your song! and if there are multiple people in the room, maybe the speakers nearest to each person are playing different songs, each specific to the closest passenger. and after the signal connects, the speakers will continue to play whatever song they started with, even if different passengers move toward or away from them, and will only play something else when the controls are messed around with. and the signals and machinery will continue to behave in this way sporadically, all through the month.]

ooc: the musical madness has begun! feel free to use this post as a mingle for interactions relating to shuffle day and the ensuing musical chaos. if you have any questions, please post them to the January ooc post!

Yeah, they don't sound familiar...

[ He slows down. ] Think maybe they heard it and have someone else singing it?

[ riku makes a face. ]

Someone else, singing that song...

It'd feel wrong, shouldn't it? [ is this nostalgia taking over? ]

Maybe, but it's nice hearing it anyway.

[ they'd missed the last time the dance was performed, after all. ]

Who knows, maybe it's some kinda present to us?

A present? For what?

[ he hums softly, unsure.

but, his smile returns after a moment. ]


It's nice, though. To do this again.

Foooor sticking us out here without asking? I dunno. But we totally gotta do this when we get home.

[ riku starts to slow. ]

Hey, uh... about that. I don't know if going home is... you know, something I should do.

[personal profile] clownshoes 2015-02-04 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
What? Why?

[ Sora gives him a look like he's grown three heads, coming to a halt. ]

[ riku hesitates before speaking. ]

I need extra training if I wanna be a Master, and there's people we've gotta find... there's too much to do.

But you're not gonna stay away forever, right?

[ Not having Riku around ever again...he can't imagine it. ]

It's not like I'm gonna disappear again, [ he says it softly but earnestly, because he knows that's what sora may be thinking. ] I'm just... I don't think I can live on the island anymore.

[personal profile] clownshoes 2015-02-18 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course you can. The island is our home, man.

[ a frustrated noise. ]

I mean, I don't think I should.

[personal profile] clownshoes 2015-03-04 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Why? And if this is something about you not deserving to go back or something, you're wrong.

[personal profile] limitstorm 2015-03-04 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That's...

[ totally it, but riku just silently sulks, looking away and crossing his arms. ]

Riku, everyone was so happy to see you safe. You're the only person who doesn't think you should be there.
