Seventh Key

[optimistickey]

[Cambot is just wandering around the halls on the Recreation Deck when it happens to catch Sora heading by. He happens to wave to the camera, when there's a flash of black and gray from above. Sora's spectre jumps down from one of the walls (how did it get up there?) and lands on Sora.]

HEY! You--

[Sora tries to flip the spectre off of him, but having his strength, it just flips him back over on the ground again. There, it proceeds to grab his throat with one hand, effectively pinning him down.]

[The spectre is talking to him again...and whatever it says, it puts a rather horrified expression on Sora's face.]

...No!--

[Sora struggles to get the double off of him, but it just presses down harder on his throat...then brings a leg up, preparing to smash its shoe into Sora's face.]

[Then, all of a sudden, there's a bright pink flash, and POOF! The spectre screeches, and then disappears.]

[Sora slowly gets up, and looks around. The spectre is nowhere to be found, but he still looks shaken.]

...Is it gone? What happened?

Sora! Are you okay?

[he's moving as he asks this. He's familiar enough with the ship, barely, to recognize the recreation deck and he's on his way down there. Yes, he's worried.]

[optimistickey]

Um...yeah... [He rubs at his neck a little. That was not a good surprise...] Just came out of nowhere at me...

[thirteenth_brat]

[Roxas is just about to the recreational deck as he replies now.]

Seems like the favorite way to do it when they decide to get violent. What was it saying to you anyway?

[optimistickey]

[Sora isn't entirely sure he wants to share...how much does Roxas know about his Antiform, anyway? On the other hand, he knows it can be annoying to hide that stuff.]

Just...a whole lot of bad stuff. It kept talking about...my darkness now.

[thirteenth_brat]

[Roxas does know something about Antiform. Perhaps not everything, but enough, he thinks.]

Do you want to talk about it?

[He wants to know, if at least to have an idea what to say to Sora to make him feel better about the situation, but he won't force him to talk about it if he doesn't want to.]

[Cambot broadcasts Riku's initial reaction: jumping from the chair, hunching over and saying a few choice words as his side hurts him (that are strangely kid-friendly), and snatching up his sword before making his way down the hall.]

[optimistickey]

[Sora doesn't notice Riku moving at first, until he hears those painful sounds. He's not trying to move now, is he?]

--Riku?

[halfdarkened]

[Riku manages to hide his pain pretty well as he moves down the halls. He's good at that.]

It may have vanished, but we don't know it's gone yet.

[optimistickey]

[Sora is less concerned about that and more about the fact that Riku should be resting! At least his didn't hurt him that badly!]

What're you doing? Your side's still injured!

[halfdarkened]

[His expression is very firm.] And you're my best friend. Being hurt doesn't keep me from fighting. [Trufax.]

[usernameinator]

Ha ha! It does work!

[optimistickey]

Wait...what works? [Sora missed Doof's post about his -Inator.]

[usernameinator]

My EvilCloneAwayinator! It got rid of all the evil clones on the satellite! That pink light? Yeah, that was all me.

[optimistickey]

[Color Sora impressed! That pretty much saved his bacon there.] Wow! So...you just got rid of them all with a machine? I didn't even know you could do that!

[usernameinator]

Well yeah. You can do all sorts of evil stuff with a good Inator.

[punsofiron]

Sora, you alright?

[optimistickey]

[Sora lets out a sigh.] Yeah...I think so. I'm just not entirely sure what happened to it...

[eroded_earth]

It just...vanished.

Sora? Are you all right?

[optimistickey]

Yeah...didn't make a nice noise, either.

I think I'm okay. [Mostly he just looks shaken up, and a bit worried.]

[eroded_earth]

[Well, he has some idea as to how bad his was.]

Do you want to talk about it?

[optimistickey]

[Sora rubs at the back of his head...he doesn't know if he should go bringing up his darkness to someone like Terra. Not because of Terra, but because he doesn't want an older Keybearer to think that badly of him.]

Maybe, but I dunno...

[salvagedlight]

Sora?! What happened?

[That is not the kind of thing he wants to see - especially since it is so confusing.]

[optimistickey]

[Sora is still catching his breath a bit.]

I dunno...it just jumped me out of nowhere, and now it's gone.

[salvagedlight]

But it's really gone, right? It didn't just vanish into thin air or something?

[optimistickey]

I don't know for sure...but I think it is. It didn't sound like it was happy with whatever happened to it.
