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]

[Blinks.]

...That's actually a really good idea.

[Look, he even manages to give her a small grin!]

You're smart. Something like that...you know, I think it would work!

[rebonding]

[Korra snorts. Smart? He's kidding, right?]

I dunno about smart, but... I guess we've just gotta think outside the box a little.

[But he's smiling! She lets her perplexity go, allowing a little smile of her own. They'll figure this out.]

I've always had a knack for... breaking rules, I guess.

[darknessinside]

I'm normally pretty good at it, too, but I completely forgot about the gem and the wishes.

[Crosses his arms behind his head and leans back against the wall.]

Probably because I've been so busy moping around everywhere.

[Looks a bit sheepish, like he knows he needs to snap out of his funk. Then he levels a curious look on her.]

Anyway, how are you doing? Looks like you managed to avoid getting hit by those ghosts, at least.

[rebonding]

[Korra's face falls. Too busy moping? His best friend just died, of course he's moping! She clinches her teeth and bites back her response to his former comment when he asks about her.]

I've been fine.

[Maybe it's for the better? Just avoid the topic?]

Frustrated, I guess, but no crazy curses. They definitely did something to my abilities, though. I can't do what I should be able to. It's... kinda hard to explain.

[She heaves a sigh, sinking down to the floor. Having access to the Avatar State during that fight for the shard would have ensured their victory, but that hadn't happened. Her connection, somehow, had been broken when she came here. That was the only explanation she could come up with.]

[darknessinside]

[Frowns a little, his eyebrows drawing together in confusion.]

Something to your abilities? [Thinks.] Hmm, you might not be the only one. A couple times since we've been here I've noticed...I can still do all my usual attacks, it's just. Something is different? I can't do as many. It's not an endurance thing either, just out of nowhere my energy will suddenly vanish. It's weird.

[rebonding]

[Korra perks up when Riku mentions his own problems.]

Weird... Back home, I have a connection with my past lives. I can harness it to talk to them, or use it to access their power all at once. Here... It's like someone's cut the connection.

[darknessinside]

Oh, cool. I've never heard of something like that before. Maybe it feels like the connection's been cut because of the whole different world thing? Your, uh...past lives, I mean, they're probably all there. Where you're from. Not here.

[rebonding]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. They're usually a part of me, but my world is connected with the Spirit World, so I'm guessing it has something to do with that.

[She was supposed to learn that kind of stuff in her spiritual training.

...Oops.]

I handled myself fine without the boost for a while, but... I hate not having it now.

[darknessinside]

[Nods.]

It's frustrating not being able to do everything you're used to. And it could potentially be a problem... Hasn't sidelined me yet, but what if something happens right in the middle of a fight?

[rebonding]

That's what I'm worried about.

[Korra huffs.]

We won't know until it happens, so there's no point in worrying about it, but still...
