Event Eight.





To thee I'll return, overburdened with care;
The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there.
No more from the cottage again will I roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.





he Town is quiet this week. No sudden quests on the forum post, no roars of werewolves in the distance... just peaceful, peaceful quiet. Of course, it's hot as hell right now, but that aside, it's pretty pleasant. You probably don't want to wander around the Town right now, but...

Naturally, now's when the Town is going to start thoroughly encouraging you to do just that.

You do want to find your doorway back home, don't you?

Better get searching! And don't mind the other worlds you might end up stumbling into first.




Welcome to Awash's eighth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post.

You are welcome to start your own posts or logs for this event as well. If there are any questions, please ask them here. Thank you!

[Riku with two heads would be way too weird. Please never go to Halloweentown if that's what Riku's form is there. Never.]

Well! ... You and me went off on our exams and everything was fine for the most part. Except at the end, we got caught up in this nightmare trap that Xehanort set up ... [Sora looks off towards the water, looking a little distant.]

It was just my nightmare. I couldn't keep the darkness back in the end and they trapped me in there. Organization XIII was trying to take my body so that Xehanort could use it. I almost didn't make it.

[Ha ... What a story.]

[What's wrong, Sora? Don't think you could handle twice the snark?

Staying quiet, he knows that something about this story must be hard for Sora. It's best to let him say what he wants and needs to get out without interruption.

But that last part has him react. The hands in his lap turn into white knuckles fists, nails digging into the skin of his palms. Heart racing. There's a certain amount of relief in knowing that his best friend survived, but Riku's mad.]


Guess they couldn't use me for whatever reason... so they went after you. [He gaze is hard, but not directed towards Sora.]

...But wait. You defeated them all? And why would he need a body?

Ahhhh... Yeah, that was exactly what it was, actually.

[Riku is too strong, too used to the darkness. He couldn't be manipulated with it anymore. But Sora? He has so little experience with that much overpowering darkness that...

He swallows a bit and a hand reaches out to pat over Riku's clenched fist gently. Pat-pat. Sora manages another smile.]


It wasn't me that got through them all. It was you, the King and Lea-- ... Axel. [That's probably another shocker for Riku.]

And who knows why he needed me so bad. Probably because he's old and falling apart...

[The confirmation sits about as well with him as everything else, and Riku turns away from his best friend to glare at his hands. This is all still new information to him, it's a bit of an overload. But eveeven if he saved Sora, Riku's angry but the sheer notion that he was targeted.

When Sora reaches out to him, some of the tension is released from his face. Closing his eyes and quietly sighing, he manages to subside some of the rising emotions by the time he opens his eyes again.]


...You realize this generates more questions than answers, right? [His usual smirk is back. Well it does answer why he's suddenly scared of the dark. But as for the future? There's so many unknowns.]

...Axel? How did he come back? I thought Nobodies just disappeared...

[He flips his hand over just before Sora pats it again, so he can grab at his friend's hand and just hold onto it. Giving it a bit of a squeeze.]

...I'm sorry, Sora.

I'm sorry, I know it's a lot.

[Sora decides to scoot a little closer, dropping his head to Riku's shoulder. He hopes that's okay. Sora just feels better when he can be close. Like Riku isn't going to go away.]

Axel somehow got his real heart back. So, he's Lea now. And he has a keyblade. It's actually really cool.

[Yeah, he realizes he's adding more questions to the pile but he's trying his best.]

[There's a sign until Sora leans against him. Of course it's okay. Physical closeness from his best friends are always okay, and he'd rather stay for Sora's comfort as well.

His relaxed expression is broken at that news. Staring at Sora with a tone of disbelief.]


He has a a what now?

[Gods, how many Keyblade wielders are there.]

He got really cool??

[Sora lets out a laugh, he knows that's not what Riku was asking.]

A keyblade! I'm not lying! You'll see it someday! I dunno how he got it, but it's the real deal.

[Axel... Cool...

Riku gives him something of an incredulous look, but Sora isn't known to lie, especially to him and Kairi. Exaggerating is one thing, but he completely believes him.

Which makes him chuckle and look back out at the sunset.]


It's so weird. It used to be just us that could use the Keyblade. Now it feels like there are so many of us...
