[Open] July Catch-all
Who: Riku and YOU
When: Throughout July
Where: Aefenglom, Dorchacht
What: Quests catch-all.
Warnings: N/A
a; Blink and Miss 'Em;
[By the time he reached seventeen Riku had traveled a multiverse, gone on countless adventures, and fought agents of darkness. With the help of his friends, of course. But even still, with a track record like that he's predisposed to certain notions about himself. Such as, that he's prepared and equip to deal with any situation.
Including herding and looking after two kittens who can vanish before his eyes in an instant. Despite the fact that he's never owned a cat, or any kind of pet before. It's something the most average of people can handle (minus the teleporting bit) so he should have it under control.
He couldn't be more wrong.
It will soon become a familiar sight to see the silver haired teenager running around the city in exasperation as he strives to follow the trail of his two foster kittens.]
Have you seen any kittens go by? The ones I'm looking for are white and brown.
[As for the mischievous kittens, they delight in their little games and are likely to appear in front of someone and curl around their legs for ear scratches, or follow after anyone in possession of food. You might even find them suddenly in your shop after closing or in your home, curling up on your favorite chair. Luckily, they possess collars with tags that read: If found, please return to...and the address of the Keyblade House.]
b; Doppelgangers
[One day in mid-July more chaos seems to surround Riku as he wanders around the city with his Keyblade strapped to his back. That wouldn't be so strange in and of itself if it wasn't for the fact that the teen begins to start trying to instigate a fight with whoever he thinks looks like they would be a strong opponent.]
Hey you! You look pretty tough. Think you'd stand a chance against me? [He says before striking some kind of tough guy pose with his weapon. Those who demure or try to walk away will find themselves being blocked by the teen as he continues to try and goad a fight.
Those that know Riku will probably find this behavior very strange and clue into the fact that something is going on.
Some may even, in fact, run into the 'real' Riku who is searching for his doppelganger and Keyblade.]
I know this sounds crazy, but if you see a clone of me walking around with a big sword, can you let me know? It's important.
c; Don't Make Waves
[Despite having been on his fair share of missions similar to this since his arrival in this world, Riku can never sleep easy knowing that danger lurks nearby. So most nights he stays up long after most have gone to sleep. The rumors surrounding the lake had made him anticipatory to get here and see it for himself, but in the light of day it had just been a lake. He doesn't sense anything magical about it. The water is clear and Cwyld-free as far as he can tell.
Maybe the rumors of disappearances is just rumors after all.
With these restless thoughts he goes a sits by the side of the lake, anyways feeling a sense of comfort and homeliness when he's by a body of water. Gathering some pebbles up in his hand, he begins to toss them into the water one by one.
There's nothing at first. And then something large and shadowy moves within the depths of the water and begins to rise.]
What in the world...
[A large, hard shell burst through the surface of the water and Riku scrambles back from the edge, reaching for his Keyblade in one hand, and summoning a ball of fire into the other.]

A; rolls in late with kittens
Both are clambering around in a basket that Noctis is trying his best not to swing around too much, lest he hurt the cats. Fortunately, they seem okay with it, rolling with the swings and mostly distracted by attacking the end of his tail, which he's purposely shut the basket loosely around.]
White? With a collar?
no subject
He's expecting to hear another negative response which is why Noctis' question draw a surprised reaction from him.]
Y-yes! Have you seen her?
no subject
[He reaches into the basket; Riku's kitten immediately pounces on his hand with all of her tiny teeth and claws so he just pulls his hand out like that, with the cat curled around it.]
Must you? [He's very clearly addressing the cat, but doesn't sound too mad.] That hurts, y'know. [And then, to Riku:]
This her?
no subject
Yeah, that's her alright. Sorry about that.
[Riku reaches out to dislodge her from his hand. As he does so he directs some comments at the kitten.]
Bad girl. What did I say about biting?
no subject
[He says this, never having actually owned a cat and only adopting random strays either back home or here in the city.
'Adopting' being a strong word, as he has yet to bring home any cats other than the blink kittens he's agreed to foster and the lone kitten of Riku's. The latter doesn't really count, though.]
'Sides, it doesn't hurt too much. I mean, I'm not trying to encourage the biting, but y'know...
no subject
She shouldn't though. I've been trying to train them to stop but...it's been hard getting them to stay still.
[Now that he's got one of the kitties in his charge tucked safely under one arm he feels a bit better. For a moment. And then he sighs.]
One down, one more to go...
