hi i need to play sora and i need your help to do so
if you play from a canon you know i'm familiar with you can probably just leave a blank post (with a canon point) and i'll throw sora into your world because he can do that
if not (or if you have other ideas or are a castmate) then you can write something up to start!!
or just ask me about what we should do idk play with me
his canon point is post-kh2
how lucky that it's riku's middle name too! riku angst-broody jerk
Date: 2017-02-26 02:10 am (UTC)leave it to sora to counteract the brooding in the most sora-- no wait, most stupid way possible. same thing usually. this way also leads to riku snorting and smiling the softest bit. sora always has to be sora and that's the way it should be. as undeserving as he may be of this friendship (and kairi's, too), he wouldn't trade it for the universe.
though maybe him being a little less sora couldn't hurt in this case. eat his keyblade? really??]
Last I checked, skipping lunch doesn't amount to fasting for a month.
[just one meal won't make him hungry enough to attempt devouring a magical weapon, gosh!! he lets the keyblade vanish with a flash and drops his arm back down to his side.]
Weren't you eating lunch with Kairi?
[or at least that's the assumption riku banked on before coming up here.]
oh my god ... good thing he has a literal puppy for a best friend to help with that
Date: 2017-02-26 02:42 am (UTC)Sora plops down right next to Riku, proving he's not going anywhere soon, as he takes out his little boxed lunch he has today. If Riku thought Sora wasn't going to put him above himself then he's got another thing coming. ]
I was, but she thought I should go look for you, too. She's got the others with her, anyway. [ So both of your friends were thinking of you, Riku.
And he opens the top of his boxed lunch. ] Here, you can have half if you want.
[ Riku may be fine with skipping lunch, but as long as Sora has food, he's going to offer it anyway. ]
GOOD this walking mess needs all the help he can get
Date: 2017-02-26 03:05 am (UTC)they're not like him.
it's a nice feeling, though, knowing people care enough to find him. being in the darkness for so long made him almost forget how friendships work. mickey was a great friend, too, but different. childhood friends sharing their lunch with you doesn't compare to anything else. that brings him back to the original question at hand and also makes his expression return to its earlier somberness: does he deserve any of this?
riku looks back up at the sky before closing his eyes.]
It's fine. You gotta eat more or you'll never hit that growth spurt.
[one thing that never changes is his bad mouth. hey, sarcasm and teasing keeps a guy going even in his darkest hour.]
sora will help him to the ends of the earth
Date: 2017-02-26 03:23 am (UTC)Hey, take that back! It's just a little late, that's all!
[ Riku hit his first and that's why he's a tree, okay!! At least Sora's taller than Kairi!! (Like that's much of an accomplishment or anything to brag about.) And because Sora doesn't have much else to use against Riku in a conversation like this, seeing as Riku so clearly wins in the tree height department — ]
Are what're we gonna do if you resort to eating your Keyblade?
[ Yes, that's ... his comeback. The Keyblade eating thing again. He's just thinking ahead to whatever they'll face in the future and Riku needs his Keyblade on the outside of his stomach for it.
Of course, it's not like Sora thought it'd be so easy to get Riku to share his meal with him. He'll respect his wishes if he doesn't want to eat it, but regardless, he'd like to have at least tried. Riku means more to Sora than words could ever explain, and if he can even just do small acts of kindness for him (regardless of whether they are accepted), he's happy. Making his friends happy is his happiness, really. ]
ahh what a great friend! riku will always do the same
Date: 2017-02-26 03:53 am (UTC)looking over at sora and seeing that silly pose alongside that dorky pout only amuses him further (and it lifts his mood a teeny fraction. leave it to sora to be able to do so without any effort). tall like a kid and looks like a kid. that growth spurt may never happen at this rate, which is fine by riku. teasing the squirt about being vertically challenged forever is a-okay by the tree.]
Really? Come on, Sora, that can't be the best the Keyblade Master's got.
[at least try a little. riku's got his own sore spots and sora can hit them if he tries. or maybe he can't and this'll be one of his victories. what does this make the score? hmm can't remember so let's just say 10 to 1. sora gets a bonus point for saving his ass back with xemnas.]
c-cute ... they're so cute ... ;-;
Date: 2017-02-26 04:21 am (UTC)And he gives an exhale-like laugh, before laying down on his back next to Riku, hands comfortably behind his head. ] Maybe it is.
[ Sora's well aware of Riku's sore spots, and he could hit them if he really wanted to, but ... he doesn't. He's happy with his special brand of silly comebacks, even if it means he'll lose at things like this. A deep part of Sora's decided that giving serious comebacks isn't the right thing to do right now. ]
And you know, you're powerful with one, too. A Keyblade. [ So it doesn't feel quite right to be called "the" Keyblade Master, when others can wield them, and just as strongly or even stronger than he can. ] Maybe I'll never be the tall one, but ... I think we make a great team just the way we are.
[ Leave it to Sora to not only lift his friend's mood without trying, but to make it sappy, too. ]
ugh they are. they're two stupid, cute idiots
Date: 2017-02-26 04:53 am (UTC)that knowledge led to obsession which led to darkness.
though the mood feels less oppressive, the commentary and memories cause riku's mirth to vanish. his expression doesn't grow as grave as before, but it takes on a definite thoughtfulness. he isn't strong. sure, his skills with a weapon are impressive and, being realistic, he could win against most any opponent (modesty's never been his strong point) but that alone isn't strength. what sora has is strength. that heart --that kind and unwavering heart-- is the strongest of all.
his own heart... it's strong enough to wield a keyblade but still remains susceptible to darkness.]
Can you really say that even though there's still darkness inside me?
[can he really still be fit for a keyblade? can he really be fit to remain here at sora's side? riku honestly isn't certain.]
stupid cute idiots who are killing my heart
Date: 2017-02-26 05:05 am (UTC)Sora moves his head slightly to glance over at him, before looking back up at the sky. And with utmost confidence, he answers, unwavering in his opinion. ]
Yeah. You're still you, Riku.
[ Sora will always, always see Riku for himself. Even when he didn't look like himself at all — when he appeared as Ansem, and his darkness with a visible, tangible thing. Not even that stopped Sora from treating him as his best friend, so knowing any amount of darkness is inside him can't stop him from seeing him for anything less than who he is — someone he treasures above anything. ]
Is this why you were up here?
[ He may as well ask. If Riku wants to talk anything out, Sora's here to encourage. ]
same! i didn't expect these feels tonight but i'm so glad for them
Date: 2017-02-26 05:46 am (UTC)sora accepting him doesn't means riku accepts himself, wherein rests the biggest issue. this lingering darkness bugs him. ...no, lying about it gets him nowhere. it scares him. funny how the darkness once so eagerly embraced frightens him now. losing himself and harming his friends further isn't impossible, not as long as his heart still harbors darkness within.
he doesn't want to talk about it, truth be told, but there isn't any reason to lie when sora's got it figured out.]
Yeah. I thought I'd try to get my head on straight.
[he sighs.]
But all I keep coming back to is that I shouldn't be here.
[it's a hard truth to swallow, but riku can't find any other truth aside from this one.]
me too kjhsdg ... i'm so happy to play with you
Date: 2017-02-26 06:07 am (UTC)[ Sora can't do much to help Riku accept himself — Sora himself can accept him, but the rest is up to Riku, at that point. Though no matter how hard it may be for Riku to do that, Sora fully believes he'll be able to. Not having confidence in his friends is very un-Sora like, after all. And he can recognize when a problem is something he can't solve for someone — he fully recognizes that this process is up to Riku. But Sora can at the very least inch him in the right direction with his words — tell him how he feels.
And Sora is a simple person. The things he faces are vast and complicated, but he can still manage to come back to his own, simple reasoning, driven by his heart. ]
If that were true, then you probably wouldn't be. But ... you are, aren't you? [ He's here. With them — his friends who love him. ] I think that's proof that this is where you should be.
[ The most simple of reasoning — he's here because he's meant to be. And he deserves to be. Riku deserves to be in the light as much as anyone else. ]
same to you! your sora is darling~
Date: 2017-02-26 11:03 pm (UTC)Is it really that simple?
[so simple a logic ends up both endearing and difficult to swallow. riku rolls his head over in sora's direction.]
Is it really okay for me to be here even if I may end up hurting everyone again?
[not that he actively plans on doing so. it's just, you know, things happen. whenever darkness exists, it has the potential to get out of control. no one can fully wield the darkness to their whims; it overpowers your mind and body the instant you show any weakness. it won't ever go away, either. darkness will always lurk in his heart. he won't give in to it, not as long as he has the keyblade to guide him toward the light; it's just a worry that somehow something akin to ansem will rise from that darkness anyway.
or may he's worrying too much. using one's brain has that downside.]
uwah thank you ;o; and your riku is fantastic weh
Date: 2017-02-26 11:44 pm (UTC)He turns his head towards Riku's direction with his response, smiling confidently. ]
Yeah. You deserve to be here as much as any of us, Riku.
[ He of course genuinely believes that, otherwise he wouldn't say it — so confidently, too.
Turning his head back at the sky, he speaks again with a little more somberness to his voice — more understanding. ]
Even if you don't believe it right now.
[ He understands that Riku doesn't believe he should be here — Sora may give simple answers to complicated problems, but he does so with the understanding of the problem. And he just sort of wants to push that — that he understands it and that even if Riku may not believe he belongs here, that doesn't stop him from belonging here regardless. ]
thank you! i feel so rusty with him so i'm glad you're enjoying him!
Date: 2017-02-27 10:38 pm (UTC)You're right; I don't. [a beat.] But maybe you, and Kairi, believing it is enough for now.
[although that fails to solve the question of whether or not he belongs, it'll suffice until riku figures stuff out for himself. at the very least, he plans on protecting what matters while sticking around. a small smile tugs at his lips. oh. right. darkness or light, good or bad, he can --and will-- do that much. a hand reaches out toward the sky and his keyblade flashes back into his hand.
does he deserve it? can he overcome the darkness? who knows. but one thing becomes clear and that's what riku gained.
the strength to protect what matters.]
And regardless of what I believe, I still plan on protecting those precious to me.
[doubts won't stop him from doing this much.]
of course i am! ;a;;;;
Date: 2017-02-28 02:10 am (UTC)He glances over at Riku's Keyblade when he summons it, before smiling at his words. ]
Yeah. That's the Riku I know. [ A small nod. ] You can't let your thoughts stop you from doing the things you wanna do.
[ And just that act — Riku deciding to protect those precious to him despite his feelings — proves to Sora that he has plenty of strength within him. Even if their inner strength manifests itself in different ways, he knows it's there. He's never doubted it, really. ]
<3
Date: 2017-03-01 01:58 pm (UTC)no wonder friends give sora so much strength. knowing people stand by you and remain connected no matter how far apart makes anyone feel as though they could take on the world. he has that now. or again, rather. to think he thought it impossible to have friends like this after so long in the darkness or that he scoffed at the idea of friends providing strength... boy, was he stupid. maybe he still is, but at least he isn't alone.
it's nice having friends.
friends also wouldn't be friends without some teasing, hence why his smile turns the teeniest bit mischevious.]
All right, I guess I'll do what I want now then, too.
[and what does he want? to ruffle sora's feathers a bit. nothing much, just a little fun between friends.
thus after letting the keyblade vanish, riku sits on up, reaches for the lunch sora brought up and digs in. what? eating sounds good and sora did offer! does he make sure to grab sora's most favorite part of it to start? of course. half is half but not specifying which half is a bad idea with someone as big a jerk as riku. some things never change.]
<3 <3
Date: 2017-03-02 01:09 am (UTC)But Sora watches as Riku sits up and moves towards the lunch, happy to see that he's finally got it in him to eat something. Even if him not eating lunch isn't the end of the world, he's glad he brought the food for him regardless. But when Sora props himself up as well, he looks over to notice Riku in the middle of eating his favorite part, and — wow some best friend he is!!
Sora immediately moves forward, putting a hand on Riku's shoulder, a distressed expression on his face (and in his voice). ]
Wha — h-hey, wait, don't eat all of that! Leave some for me! You know that's my favorite part! [ Shaking his friend's shoulder a little. ] Riku!
[ HOW COULD YOU :(
Look how fast you turned this conversation around. Feathers successfully ruffled! ]
