[darknessinside]

Who: Riku + Spade Pirates
Where: The ship.
When: Anytime during the Halloween Event!
What: SORA IS DEAD, Riku is a vampire, basically this week has sucked. :|
Warnings: Depressed Riku, I guess -- trying to keep his mopey lame times contained in one place, haha.
Style: Whichever! But I'm probably sticking with [brackets].
Status: Closed to the crew, whoever is interested (if anyone, totally cool if you want to avoid Riku being pathetic everywhere lol).


[Riku is basically either holed up in his and Sora's room, staring blankly at nothing, or he's up in the crow's nest, watching the sea. He'll still do whatever duties he has around the ship, of course, but his brain is totally elsewhere and overall he's not going out of his way to talk to anyone really. Save maybe Kairi if she's around.

Also that whole bloodlust thing? Yeah. He's ignoring it. And ignoring the need to eat or drink anything at all, really. WHO NEEDS SUSTENANCE. 8D]

Comments

[reluctantjinrou]

Thank you.

[He's grateful to have someone to sit with, even though really he's supposed to be doing the comforting. But maybe they can just commiserate together.]

Not to distract you, but have you eaten?

[darknessinside]

...

[Turns his face away this time. He's been trying not to think about that.]

No.

[reluctantjinrou]

I think you should.

[Natsuno speaks firmly.]

This is hard enough as it is...going mad from bloodlust isn't going to help you any.

[darknessinside]

[Groans a bit.]

I'm really not hungry.

[It's partially true... He's got a weird thing going where he's too miserable to even think about eating, though that underlying need and want, different from normal hunger, has steadily grown over the past couple days.]

[reluctantjinrou]

Probably as a vampire you can't eat normal food anyway. I know the Shiki couldn't. They could drink, but that was all. You know what I mean.

[Natsuno sighs softly and pushes his sleeves up again, holding out his arm to Riku. Perhaps the most interesting thing about his arm is the fact he's been bitten already.]

[darknessinside]

[Which Riku notices when he reluctantly turns to look at him.]

...Someone got to you already.

[reluctantjinrou]

I wouldn't say that, I made her. I can make you too.

[Natsuno warned with a flash of his canines.]

So it's just easier to bite me and be done with it.

[darknessinside]

[Raises an eyebrow.]

Yeah? And just how are you gonna do that?

[reluctantjinrou]

The werewolf thing comes with a lot of strength.

[He arches an eyebrow.]

I'd rather not though, it's tiring. Think of it as returning a favour if you have to, but you should eat Riku. I don't know if thirst can kill you. I don't think we want to find out.

[darknessinside]

Fine, maybe I should eat, but just how much blood do you think you have?

[Gestures at his arm.]

How long ago did that happen?

[reluctantjinrou]

Fortunately, I know the answer to that. It was a couple days ago. Besides that, I can do another bite.

[Wanting to is another matter, but fair is fair. It's not so bad when he can move.]

And I had a cure spell put on me, I feel fine.

[darknessinside]

...I can't do healing magic [yet], that was Sora's thing. And I don't have any potions with me here.

[STUBBORN.]

[reluctantjinrou]

It isn't necessary to do healing magic on me.

[Natsuno shakes his head.]

It's just a little blood.

[darknessinside]

But you were the one telling me it wasn't safe to be bitten too frequently.

[He lifts his head a little, though, failing not to look interested. The offer is so tempting.]

[reluctantjinrou]

[He sighs.]

Yes, there's a limit, but twice isn't it. Twice is fine.

[He holds his arm closer to Riku. He points above were Selphie bit him.]

If you bite too low, it will be problematic. Dr. Ozaki told me that.

[darknessinside]

[Has no idea who that is and doesn't really care at the moment. He's just staring at Natsuno's arm, inching closer.]

Yuuki, are you sure? You'll be able to stop me if...

[reluctantjinrou]

I'm sure, it's fine.

[He doesn't know if he can stop Riku once he bites him but, he's not worried. It's really hard to drink too much blood.]

[darknessinside]

[Ugh, this is pathetic, he should really show some restraint—

But in the next second he's lunging forward to sink his teeth into Natsuno's arm, and all other thoughts fly from his head. There's only the taste of warm, rich blood and a sense of relief as his hunger fades away.]

[reluctantjinrou]

[He feels that instinctive fear and tightening up, that makes it hurt a little more. He takes deep breaths to relax, to ease the burden on both of them.

Natsuno gets that feeling and lightheaded, he slumps forward this time, against the railing. His eyes are open for another moment before he faints. It's not Riku really, this always happens.]

[darknessinside]

[The shift in Natsuno's posture is enough to make Riku pause, and when he glances up at him out of the corner of his eye, it's just in time to see Natsuno's eyes slide shut as he conks out.

Which of course has Riku backing off immediately. He drags the back of his hand across his mouth as he stares wide-eyed at Natsuno.]

...Shit. Yuuki? Yuuki.

[Aw hell, did he kill him? No...no, he can still hear his heartbeat, at the very least. That keeps Riku from going into full panic mode, but it doesn't necessarily make him feel any better.

...He'll just give it a minute, and listen carefully to that heartbeat to see if it changes in a bad way, and then.

And then go get help. If he needs to.

After which Thatch will probably wring his neck. Awesome.]

[reluctantjinrou]

[His heart beats steadily, although a bit slower than it was before Riku sank his teeth into him. His breathing is normal and he just stays slumped there for a few minutes.]

Hnn.

[He grunts softly as he stirs a moment or two before opening an eye and blinking a few times. What happened? Oh right, he let someone else bite him.]

[darknessinside]

[In his face the second he starts blinking, looking worried.]

You're awake! Geez, are you okay??

[reluctantjinrou]

Yes, I'm okay.

[Natsuno rubs his eyes as though he's sleepy. That heaviness is setting in and his limbs are stiff.]

I uh, always do that. It's the feeling of being sucked on, kind of gets to me.

[darknessinside]

...

[Just kind of raises an eyebrow.]

Ew, don't say it like that.

[He sits back, though, relieved.]

It sounds weird. And you could've warned me, what the heck?

[reluctantjinrou]

I'm not sure how else you want to put it. I expect if I had to have blood drawn normally, it would probably be similar.

[He nods a bit.] Sorry. I should have. How do you feel?
