two | which to bury, us or the hatchet?

[ the classroom is utterly silent.

there are twenty polished wood desks of high caliber, each stamped with 'Alabaster Boarding School for Youths' in gold leafing. of the five in the first row, Riku is seated atop the third desk in a school uniform, pressed navy blue blazer and trousers with a sky-blue tie, a white dress shirt underneath (oddly enough, no shoes). the teacher's desk is empty, every desk is empty, and the back half of the classroom is practically shrouded in darkness.

none of that matters to Riku, though. he's just staring ahead to the dry-erase board in front of him, staring at it.

it's covered in red marker, messages ranging from 'you're a fake' and 'stop conning us' to 'please just talk to us again' and 'i miss having you around', although the latter are marginally less frequent than the formers. and in the middle, the only phrase in black, is you're a menace.

there are no erasers or markers anywhere near the board, or on Riku. as the door opens to shed more light, he looks over. ]


Why are you here?

[ ooc: permissions! ]

[There are few humans who'd stand a chance against her powers, if murderers lurked here after all.] I'm not afraid.

[That fear keeps everyone else out, instead of hurting him. She can understand the thinking. Besides, as he said, this is a dream. She has the unsettling feeling of wanting to do something to repay him for this gesture, and for showing her a place so important to him, but she doesn't know how to say it.

Instead, Ami walks on.]


If it's somewhere you come to be safe, I want to see it.

A change from what?

[The tone suggests looking too closely at how she chooses to present herself might be best handled very, very carefully.

Of course, he might have only a meant a change from the people who are afraid.]
