[He switches the pistol over to his other hand, so he can hold out his right one. Small orbs of light glimmer into existence and siphon quickly around his hand to form the keyblade from before.
He turns it a bit to test the feel of it in his hand, and then, uh, shows it to her.]
[ ignoring that callout because who doesn't love the thrill of a good battle, lux kind of - hops over excitedly to look at his keyblade closer. ]
Oh! Is it enchanted? Like a Sentinel's weapon? But it doesn't look anything like those. I wish that I could just summon a weapon. I wonder if that's something you can do with wands?
It's... [Hm. I hate Kingdom Hearts.] Hard to explain, I guess. I can wield it because my heart is strong enough. So I guess, technically, my heart summons it.
Well, it's a vast kingdom, but its capitol is close to the sea, and just south of the mountains. We see a lot of blue skies and sun, but the air is cool and refreshing. It's surrounded by tall walls to keep us safe, and many buildings are so white that they glow beautifully in the sunlight.
[I looked for a picture, but couldn't find a good one, but it's fine, I will force Cola to use her imagination. Essentially, Lux gets a blip from his mind of Destiny Island when it is about to be annihilated by darkness and Heartless.
Sometimes, you don't make things better when stuff fucks up.]
Oh... Are you... going to get a new king? I guess... that's one of the problems, huh?
It's just me. I'm - not marrying Jarvan. And I'm not joining Sylas's rebellion.
[ and those kind of feel like her only options, so now she's just... Now what? I don't know. I don't know, yet. ]
The rest of Demacia will do as the prince commands. Give more power to the Mageseekers and let them root out any "threat." Create more enemies by their own hand, from within their own walls, who will later seek retribution.
[He really didn't want to bring anything up because it's... He hates this week! The most! It's personal. It's not... his business. He isn't judging, but he also knows he has NO room to judge even if he thought to.]
You think it's your fault. [HE'S BAD AT THIS.] Do they... also think it's your fault then?
[He makes a kind of surprised grunt as he shot. It makes the keyblade evaporate into the ether in a cloud of shimmering as he reaches up. There's a funny splotch of darkness from the water soaking his shirt over his heart.
[ she's still an injured bitch so she's not going to complain about a head start. at least she's got like four weeks of natural healing (haha except for some fresher burns) behind her , so she's not just hobbling anymore.
so she darts off towards the bridge to draw him out towards the rest of campus and everyone else that's playing. ]

The thing you were holding when you came back to yourself for good?
A strange weapon, that.
no subject
It's not so strange where I come from. Not... exactly.
no subject
[ ... after a moment of thought: ]
But not in combat?
[ Even if it could be fun. ]
no subject

Fun, huh?

I've heard that their guns and crossbows don't even have triggers. They just have to channel their souls into the light that they fire.
no subject
[Said in the "I don't have a clue what this means" sort of way.]
It's... kind of like that, yeah. They're used to save worlds whose hearts are threatened by darkness. The Heartless, and things like that.
no subject
[ The black mist. ]
Then you've saved worlds before?
no subject
I--well, that was a little more of Sora's thing. I was... [Being an idiot...] Anyway, um.
I've helped save one or two.
no subject
One or two worlds? It takes many to protect a single kingdom!
no subject
I guess... the smaller the thing is you want to protect, the harder it is to protect it. Like a kingdom, or... your heart maybe.
no subject
But you're right. It's small.
[ no comment on the heart thing. she is so tired of thinking about hearts in, like, any context. ]
no subject
What was it like...? Demacia.

Well, it's a vast kingdom, but its capitol is close to the sea, and just south of the mountains. We see a lot of blue skies and sun, but the air is cool and refreshing. It's surrounded by tall walls to keep us safe, and many buildings are so white that they glow beautifully in the sunlight.
It's always been a shining place.
[ Imperfect and ruined, now. ]
no subject
Sounds a lot different than an island with little houses.

Did... something happen?

[ Thanks to me. ]

but: ]
Prince Jarvan IV will take over. This should be a good thing, but... He's still grieving. And that means that he's lashing out.
no subject
That... makes sense. What do you guys plan to do?
no subject
[ and those kind of feel like her only options, so now she's just... Now what? I don't know. I don't know, yet. ]

--Lux squirts Riku in the chest, point blank with her water pistol. ]
... Let's have a water fight.

[He makes a kind of surprised grunt as he shot. It makes the keyblade evaporate into the ether in a cloud of shimmering as he reaches up. There's a funny splotch of darkness from the water soaking his shirt over his heart.
...]
...Better run. I'll give you a headstart.
