asgardeventide | (001) Video/Action for those in the castle

[For those who are currently landlocked in the castle as well, they're going to be spotting a hooded female figure pacing around the castle as if looking for something. Or, perhaps, she's more accurately inspecting and observing everything she can. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem like she's in a very cheerful mood while doing it.]

[For those inspecting the network at this hour, however, the same hooded figure is going to show up in what seems to be an accidental video. Judging from her squeak of surprise, it looks like she accidentally activated her bracelet's holographic screen and is now staring at it in what can only be assumed to be surprise.

The staring goes on for a couple of seconds, with her hand coming up to touch the screen as well, before she so eloquently starts to speak.]

I... [A pause, trying to figure out what to say now that she realizes it's recording.] ...Hello. Can someone please tell me more about this place? I'm... I'm not supposed to be here.

[...aaaaand, then she just proceeds to stare awkwardly for another second before shutting this video feed off. Mostly because she's worried sick about what's going to happen if she's here and partly because what is she doing what is going on this is hideous.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I do.

[This time, it's said with a bit more conviction.]

...Alright.

[Riku's not sure if he can handle this. Her knowing him but him not knowing her only means that he forgot, and the idea that someone was tampering with his memories is not comforting at all.

He'll have to talk to Namine about this later.]

I'm sorry I don't remember you.

[And, shaking her head at that. If she was going to tell him this much, she should at least reveal this too.]

It's okay, Riku. You're not supposed to.

Because of... The memories?

[Which would mean because of Sora... But even Roxas was remembered.]

It's not just me, is it? Don't give me names, but others too, right?

[She doesn't respond verbally to that, but instead gives him a small nod. That's the equivalent of a very big yes, Riku.]

[And he takes it as such.

Man, what a mess. Its one more problem to deal with and try to solve, and its not even something anyone has the ability to look into.

At the very least, he'll keep a close eye on her. Kairi look a like or not, he gets the feeling she should and needs to be safe.]

I can tell that these questions haven't been easy, but thank you, Xion. I appreciate the answers.

[A thoughtful pause.] If you want, you can ask me things about this city.

It's okay. Thanks, Riku. [--for not blowing her off, above all.

She pauses for a moment, thinking about what to ask, before shaking her head.]

I don't know what I should ask about this city.

[He only nods to her thanks with a bit of a wry smile.]

In that case... [Hummm.] you met the maid, right? What house were you placed in?

I did. She told me I was placed in... somewhere called the Heimdall house.

Heimdall...

Heh, well, you shouldn't have to worry too much Xion. You'll have a friend in that house.

[Not that... He's sure their friends or could be called such. But he wants to relieve her worries a bit.]

Friends...? Is someone you think I know in Heimdall too?

Yeah.

Me.

Oh.

[Well, that does relieve her a lot.]

...Guess I'll see you around there, then?

We'll probably run into each other, yeah.

What was the power you received?

She said I got something called Power Lending. Don't know how it's supposed to work, though.

[Pondering.] I don't know much about that one, unfortunately.

You have a different power?

Typically, all the houses rules by the gods here have two powers, and no two powers are the same. They're all unique in their own sort of way.

The one I have is Damage Drain, Heimdall's other power. I can take someone's injuries onto myself, and heal the.

Damage... Drain?

[Processing that name with the description he just gave her. After a second or two, she's going to be less confused and more utterly preoccupied.]

Wait--! Then don't you get hurt using that?

I do. [A beat. Is she worried about him?]

...But, I'm careful.

How careful?

[Because, yes she's worried and won't stop being worried about this.]

I know my limits, Xion. I won't go past them.

[Except his limits are pretty much... limitless. But he's not about to make promises on how much hurt he can take. He couldn't to Aqua, and he certainly can't do it to her.]

...Okay. If you say so, Riku.

[Not that she won't be keeping an eye on him, knowing this.]

Don't worry about me. I know how to take care of myself.

[He pauses. She doesn't know what to ask, but what can he tell her that might also tell him more about her.]

...Did you arrive with your Keyblade?

...No. Even when I try to make it show up, it just doesn't.

[Not... that she was expecting it to, all things considered.]
