@darkheartedprince. / time for pain.

aqua can't remember the last time she & riku really spoke , if they ever had. the last time she'd met him , he was a boy still , hardly up to her hip. & now ... now he was fully grown , standing on his own as a fellow keyblade master.

it made it somewhat difficult to reconcile just how much time had passed.

❛ you really are grown up now. i guess terra was right. ❜

the admission is somewhat bitter on her tongue , but aqua smiles as she speaks , looking at riku from where she's curled up in her seat.

❛ it's good that you two get along. he needs someone like you around to keep him on the right path since i can't always be around. ❜

“…. Pool stick me… Daddy?”

{Campaign To Make Poolstick Daddy Claude Weep}: {x} || Infinitely Accepting

“Pool… Stick- you? I- Riku there is MONEY on this ga- DADDY?! JESUS PLESUS ON A STICK, NOT MY OWN DAMN BOYFRIEND NOW!”

“… I am going to hunt Maleaka Bertha down, hand her MOTHER this pool stick & let Mistress Maleficent handle the rest…”

the boy is staring out across the ocean, as if he's not sure of what he's seeing. a slow blink, and a tilt of the head, and he blinks again - quickly this time, as if he's trying to figure something out & is having more trouble than he might usually have. he murmurs under his breath - pretty... - before he perks up at the sound of shifting sand underfoot, turning to face the other person. "Sorry! I didn't notice you approach," a partial truth, but also a partial lie; he knew there was a Heart nearby, but not anything else. "Am I on private property?"

[ 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 ] : sender plants kisses on undressed receiver's scar/s.

The soft caress of lips upon marred flesh interrupted his musings. Though there was hardly much to reflect on given the circumstances. Dagon was nude, Riku was nude, they had finished a round moments ago and were enjoying the afterglow. A pleasant moment that Dagon had unashamedly grown an addiction for.

"Round two already?" The ageless inquired, not at all surprised if so. The resiliency and stamina of youth were well known and something Dagon had taken full advantage of in the past.

Silver hair shook with a refusal. So be it, Dagon was patient. He would let the young warrior marvel at his scars in the meantime. His facsimile form was littered with them so there was no shortage of ones to witness.

Or kiss apparently, as lips touched another one. That round two may indeed come sooner than expected.

Starter | Muse: Cloud

He reached up to pinch the bridge of his nose, feeling like some kind of headache was trying to start. Cloud was already annoyed, as is, and to have another come his way, acting all sorts of strange, just made him feel a little bit on edge. "If you're wanting to hire me for some job... sorry. I'm booked." Which wasn't exactly a lie, but he just didn't want to deal with more problems. Especially, other people's problems!

One glance over towards the other, finally getting a short look at him, and Cloud dropped his hand to his side in some slight shock. Whoever this was, they weren't the ordinary sort, and it was immediately noticed. And for whatever reason, that annoyed attitude almost wanted to melt away, as though a strange sense of calm washed over him, much like a warm wave; all from just staring at this person!

"I'm sorry... do I know you??..."

@darkheartedprince liked for a starter

"Y'know, it's weird..." Ventus started, staring out at the sea from his perch on the very Paopu tree that Xehanort had planned to leave him on to die what seemed like a lifetime ago. "I was with Sora for so long that this place almost feels like home to me. Then there's you and Kairi. It kind of feels like I've known you guys forever."

He'd said something similar to Aqua back at Master Yen Sid's tower. It felt like he'd had all these adventures while he'd slept and he was grateful for that. Sora had kept him safe all those years until he'd been ready to wake up.

"I see why Terra chose you, y'know? You're pretty similar. You're strong, determined, and you'd do anything to protect your friends. I'm glad Sora had you looking out for him."

@darkheartedprince

He reaches up and ruffles his hair. "Heya Riku, how's it hangin'?"

[willfulwayfarer]

He’s not going to say much — Riku never says much — he’s just going to stare at his mentor from across the room. “—Hey..” Perhaps he should have said more, but that was all he wanted to say as he leaned against the doorframe with his arms folded across his chest.

Terra looked up from his work, a smile appearing on his face as soon as he spotted his successor leaning against the doorframe.

"Hey Riku, how have you been? Have you been getting enough sleep lately?"

@darkheartedprince​ sent:  5, 6, and 7, of the munday meme

5. Least favourite thing about roleplaying?

The expectancy to always be able to whip out writing at the drop of a hat and have a consistent writing schedule else you fall into obscurity. Catty cliques of people, the traps people can fall into pushing a character one way or another far enough that they don’t feel like the original source anymore. I’m old. I’m crusty. I have a low tolerance for a lot of things.

6. OTP for your muse?

Gladnis. Gladio and @tenebriism​ ‘s Charlotte Scientia. Basically. Gladio and the Scientias. But in all seriousness, Charlotte was the surprise instant ship that I love so endlessly to this day, there aren’t enough good things I can say about these two characters and it’s a shame that they aren’t known like Gladnis because it’s just something for us and the dash.

7. NOTP for your muse?

Gladnoct, Gladio/Cor, Gladio and any of the older carded characters, really. But, I have seen Gladio/Cor and it gives me a very strong Ick.

[erthshaker]

Be honest … Would you still marry me if I completely gave into the Darkness ?

❛ yes. ❜

there's an easy confidence to his answer , as if terra hardly had to think about what he was saying. loving riku wasn't something he had to think about , he didn't have to wonder , it was just something he did , almost as naturally as breathing. they both had darkness in them , but terra didn't fear riku's darkness , just as riku didn't fear his.

❛ i'd still want to marry you , even if you were so far gone i couldn't recognize you. ❜

❛ i love you. & that's a promise as much as it is a fact. no matter what , i'm with you. & if you did lose yourself to darkness , then i'll be here to bring you back. ❜

he says it so simply , as if it's the most obvious thing in the world , because to him , it really is just as simple as that.

❛ besides , you should know by now that my love for you isn't conditional. ❜

@darkheartedprince

He had been having some... strange dreams recently, and it was starting to become hard to tell if they were real or not.

Joshua was no stranger to nightmares; out of the twenty-eight years that his heart had been beating, eighteen of them had been spent living a life after he had been nearly beaten to death and then kept hidden away from the few people left that he loved. It wasn't a living situation that bred happy dreams, and it had only been made worse when a fragment of Ultima had become sealed away inside of him.

So when he had nights where his dreams were... strange, but on the whole not unpleasant, Joshua found he enjoyed them. Strange dreams where he was summoned into worlds he couldn't even begin to imagine. Worlds where people lived and breathed magic like it was second nature, where music was almost a living thing that shaped the world around it, worlds filled with living playing cards and people who lived under the ocean.

The ones where he was in a strange world filled with buildings that stretched to the sky, where everything was dark and illuminated with strange unnatural colors, were the worst... but he still couldn't quite call them nightmares.

Each dream always felt like it lasted for a fraction of an instant and always seemed to be presented as if from the Phoenix's point of view. There was always also the same boy, a young man with silver hair unlike anything Joshua had even seen before. The young man aged, slowly cresting the awkward journey from youth to adulthood, but there was never any interaction between them. Just a brief flurry of flames as the young man fought beside him, or sometimes rode on his back.

But they were just... dreams... weren't they?

When Origin fell after Clive cast the spell of Raise, Joshua's body should have fallen into the ocean. And it had, only his body fell... down, down, down, far deeper than it ever should have been able to go.

And then he was falling - not through water, but through the sky.

The shift from man to eikon had happened without Joshua's awareness. It was the form of the mighty Phoenix that barely caught itself before crashing into the shores of the strange beach that seemed to stretch out into forever. The young man he had seen before was there, and now Joshua noticed that there were other.... things. Creatures made of shadows that flickered about, crawling atop each other before lunging for the man.

Normally the summon brought with it a wave of fire to incinerate the heartless (or nobodies, or... anything else) before the Phoenix stayed to continue to fight by Riku's side for another few minutes. This time the bird let out a shrill panicked screech as it flailed, wings slapping at the surface of the beach and the water. Fire still spewed from it, burning any shadow it touched, but it hardly seemed to be in control of itself - and Riku was just as likely to be caught in the crossfire as anything else.

“ … And how am I worse than you, Princess?”

“… Well for one if you knew anything about me, you know the girl you’re APPARENTLY dating, you’d know I fucking hate, utterly despise when people fucking call me “Princess”.”

“You suck worse than me so bad you couldn’t make it out of the question you asked me without pissing me the fuck off,” she replied stonily.

"in Another Life" {Therius}

Send “in another life” and my muse will say something they’d be doing in another lifetime, were it not for circumstance, possibility, or regrets

@darkheartedprince

Therius paused, thinking. That wasn't a question he usually got, if at all. He usually didn't think of what he could be doing in another lifetime.

"In another life...In another life, I probably didn't leave Lazulis immediately after the war between Lazulis Island and the Gurak Continent ended." He knew why he had to do such a thing at the time - Lazulis was sorely lacking in genuine, real knights, and Therius knew that he had to carry on the work Asthar once did to train them.

"If I hadn't left Lazulis so soon, I probably would've dealt with the current knights at Lazulis Castle and set them to rights. I'm sure Zael and Lady Calista wouldn't mind me doing so." After all, both Zael and Calista were more than aware of the knights being incompetent at their duties. A sigh left him as he closed his eyes.

"If not for General Asthar passing during the war...I think that's probably what would've happened."

Unprompted: Always Accepting darkheartedprince: Riku pressed a trembling hand to his side then looked at his now crimson-soaked palm . His vision suddenly went hazy as the world started to spin . “V-Van-. . . “ Before he could finish his love’s name , Riku’s eyes rolled back into his head then everything went black as he collapsed .

⌜☬⌟ ➡ Xehanort had nearly won and all that was left was the final three heroes and the last three Darkness’s to hold the Light at bay. The Young and Old Master had been off fighting and Vanitas was left to survey, instructed to strike the Hero when the moment arose to secure their victory. Even now Darkling was nothing more than a puppet but it was a price he was willing to pay if he could keep one person from falling in this battle. His soul and sanity be damned, and that was a promise that he would keep. The heart shaped moon shone above the battle and all  it did was make his resolve falter.

The cry of pain had Vantias looking over in time to watch the Young Master strike the Princess but that wasn’t what caught his attention. “No…” it was a harsh and dull sound. Golden gaze widening as he saw the Old Master swing his keyblade sending Dawn flying to the side, a sickening spray filling the air in the process. “Please.” the word a soft beg to whatever he could pray to for this to stop. Body refusing to move as if the connection to nerves had been severed. Even the young Hero cried out for it to stop but that only seemed to egg the Older male on. That sickening laughter filled the air as he struck Riku again but this time it was a deeper wound to the side.

This finally caused Darkling to snap out of his trance and reach out his hand towards the male as he ran. “Riku no!” This time much louder and the fear evident in voice. He had been close enough to hear his nickname pass lovers lips before he fell to the ground. Vanitas had been fast enough to catch his body but sadly not that fast. His attempts to Cure nothing short of in vain as he pleaded to see those cyan eyes once again. The cackle of his Master seemed to freeze blood within veins before looking up to Master Xehanort, who just sneered at him murmuring some sort of remark. It fell on deaf ears as a ring took root and the world faded around him.

He could feel the heat slowly drain from Riku’s boy, this was reality and not a cruel dream. “I told you not to leave me…” he murmured, staggering to feet as head lulling to the side as his own element flared and roared to life. This action even had his Master shuffling to the side in concern, everything falling still for a moment. It was the calm before the storm as golden gaze stared up at the moon that was mocking him in its brightness. “Don’t leave me.” Vanitas choked out before head fell into hands as a gut wrenching sound slipped past lips. Darkling was never known to be a crier or even one to grieve as that required emotions but now this gnawing hole took root in his darkened heart. 

All at once the Darkness seemed to answer his plea, the shadows quivering as they moved towards creature of the Void. That notorious golden look now staining crimson the more the World's Darkness joined him and became one. With a scream of pain and heartbreak Darkness shot out from body and began to engulf all.

If his Dawn could not remain by his side then Darkness shall swallow all.

[voidedgear]

"I don't want to live like this anymore."

ASK OBTAINED!

"Live like what?" Vanitas retorts, crossing his arms over his chest. This guy... he was one of the people Sora had grown up with. His tie to Sora's heart was strong; Vanitas could feel it. He tilted his head to the side for a second, before snorting under his breath.

"Then don't. You can do whatever you want, can't you?" It was an enviable position. It'd been a little surprising to hear that coming out of the mouth of one of the Guardians of Light, but now Vanitas was starting to feel a little irritated.
