we showed up in a place full of darkness a voice talked to us of the light in our heart and how the longer we stayed in darkness the harder itd be to see the light it said a lot of mushy shit about friends and friendship we had to fight a bunch of monsters there was a rat bastard
you know ive heard and been through a lot of strange shit but thats one of the weirder things ive heard so he helped you a lot i still want to throw something at him the next time i see him
He is absolutely oblivious because of course he is. Look, his girl doesn't ever cock her arm back and sock them. (Even though she SHOULD because they are STUPID.)]
Ah--!
[He doesn't fall over, but he has to step back with a foot to catch himself. His other hand goes up to hold the spot she punches. He's not even angry, just extremely bewildered.]
[ This should be one of the things Kairi's taught before she learns how to wield a keyblade: how to throw a proper punch. If Kainé ever meets her, it's going to happen. ]
Because he's the type to come in to help at the very last fucking moment and then he fucks off again to do whatever business and shoos everyone away instead of helping the entire time.
[ That's the vibe she got anyway.
But also she's just ANGRY because she came into this game with her memory fucked up because NIER is STUPID and then a Kingdom Hearts CYOA all about MEMORIES came along and fucked up her memories EVEN MORE and she wants to take it out on Mickey Mouse. ]
[KAINÉ ISN'T WRONG IS THE BAD PART ABOUT THIS. Riku just makes a bit of a face. He can't--
He can't argue, and yet, he stans Mickey Mouse so much?!]
I know it's frustrating, but... don't say that. He helps when he can, and where he can. It's the best he can do. He has a lot to deal with just like the rest of us.
Mm. We've been friends since we were kids. [He sort of looks away. The fondness there is sitting in a cup of nostalgia. The love isn't... hot and intense, like the passionate honeymoon phase of lovers. No.
It's deep. Soft and deep, the love that has become second-nature. The love you don't ever have to think about because it's always there sitting on the top of your heart.] He's my best friend.

You were in the place where your heart wakes up.
Wait
You saw the king??
no subject
yeah
he called himself a king at least
no subject
King Mickey. Of course he would be there to help you. Somehow he always comes at the right time.
You can trust him. He's helped me more times than I can count.
no subject
[ riku explain
but since he can answer all of this, kainé assumes he's riku now. ]
i dont know if id call it the right time
the right time could have been at least a platform before he got there
you really respect him huh
no subject
I do. When my heart was full of doubt, he was there to remind me I wasn't alone.
no subject
so he helped you a lot
i still want to throw something at him the next time i see him
no subject
[Does she at all see why he was so gung-ho about the bear now?]
Traveling through places like that, and through the darkness is harder than you think. If you see him again, you should thank him.
no subject
where are you right now?
no subject
[
no subject
can you meet me outside it for a second?
no subject
Uh
Okay. I'll be there.
[He is very stupid like Nier, so he will be there.]
no subject
and then swing her fist fast to slug him in the arm. ]

[He doesn't fall over, but he has to step back with a foot to catch himself. His other hand goes up to hold the spot she punches. He's not even angry, just extremely bewildered.]
Ow! What was that for?
no subject
Don't tell me to thank someone like that.
no subject
He helped you, didn't he? He did what he could.
Why is so hard for you to say thanks?
no subject
[ That's the vibe she got anyway.
But also she's just ANGRY because she came into this game with her memory fucked up because NIER is STUPID and then a Kingdom Hearts CYOA all about MEMORIES came along and fucked up her memories EVEN MORE and she wants to take it out on Mickey Mouse. ]

no subject
He is lucky she likes him enough to do this. ]
Is that kind of place something you have to go through often?
[ the station of awakening. ]
no subject
Not very often. Well, not me. Maybe Sora. He always talked about having weird dreams all the time.
no subject
Hm... ]
You're close to Sora, yeah?
no subject
Mm. We've been friends since we were kids. [He sort of looks away. The fondness there is sitting in a cup of nostalgia. The love isn't... hot and intense, like the passionate honeymoon phase of lovers. No.

no subject
Cute... His fondness is very sweet. There are a lot of things she could say in response to this, but that would require terrible sincerity from her. ]
He seems like the type to get up in arms about this place.
no subject
He is. He would be. He's always stupid enough to sacrifice himself to save other people.
no subject
But wow, that sounds faintly familiar to her. ]
I know the kind of stupid you mean.
