[001 || Written / Voice at the end]

[After the escape from Yuezhong -- for those on the Spade Pirates crew, he's on watch up in the crow's nest. Things seem calm at the moment, though, which means he's a liiiiittle bored, so have some random jotted down thoughts.]

Well, definitely didn't pick a boring crew to join. And here I thought I knew how to stir up trouble quickly. Then again, traveling from world to world before, I learned how to keep a low profile, too.

Guess that's not happening here. Can't complain, though. Things are good.

The sea's really quiet tonight...

Watching the ocean like this feels like I'm back home again.

[You'll hear a faint splash suddenly, and there's a pause before the writing starts up again, this time accompanied by Riku's muttered voice:]

.......Except we didn't have fish that big. Or—what is that? Is that a whale??

[He said starting to worry... a little. ~~Which is, indeed, code for "I'm really very worried". Freakin' Riku and his knowing this.~~

Sora lets the mask slip off, all the same and sighs. Riku's trustworthy, and he knows he'll never say anything, so...]

You can't tell him you know this... [He pauses a moment.] It was... his best friend who did it. Who... [His voice grows a little quieter.] killed him.

[So, maybe Natsuno has a very good reason for having trouble believing things aren't that bad. He pauses a moment before returning to the game, his pen tracing letters over the empty spaces.

...Oh, he's almost completely sure, but he'll make another guess, here.]

I.

...

[Well, that hits a little too close to home. Riku looks up sharply, his eyes wide.]

What—why? That's. [Frowns, then shakes his head and looks away again.] Damn... Okay, yeah, I can see how that would mess someone up. ...A lot.

[Frooowns some more, rubbing the back of his neck. Eventually glances back down at the journal because he could use the distraction. He can't help giving an amused snort.]

You've gotta be able to guess this by now.

D _ _ T I _ _ I _ L A _ D _

[He gives Riku a slightly concerned look, before glancing back down. Yeah, it had actually brought up a pretty extensive conversation when Natsuno told him that--of course, he never did get around to telling all of the details (at least, not the ones about what really happened with Riku). That's really not something he'd ever tell anyone, now that he thinks about it.]

From the way he made it sound, it was something Tohru couldn't... help?

[He's back to the game, after that, the amused sound from his friend actually causing a faint grin to appear on his face.]

It's Destiny Islands, right? Yeah, I had kinda figured that's what it was.

What, was he possessed by the Darkness, too?

[That slips out without him really meaning for it to, his tone pretty sardonic, and he cringes almost immediately after. He takes a deep breath and releases it slowly, trying to gather his thoughts, though he makes sure to speak before Sora can.]

—Sorry. What I meant was...that's a pretty extreme thing to just. Do. Because you can't help it. [Slight pause.] Unless he's a vampire, too? Isn't that how other vampires are made, the neck biting thing? Did this Tohru guy just lose control and drink too much?

[Gets a thoughtful look that promptly vanishes when he checks their game, replaced with a small grin.]

Ding, ding, ding. And we have a winner.

[His expression had tensed and he looked a little... well, sad at that. He forced that away, though, and shifted in his seat.]

Yeah, Tohru was a vampire. And he was killed and turned into a vampire by this girl who had been...uh... stalking Yuuki? He said it took five days for Tohru to... kill him. [Sora pauses.] He also said Tohru had been crying when he bit him on the last night.

[Back to the game, Sora gives his own grin.]

Heh! Alright... your turn now!

[And, soon after that, the blank spaces appear!]

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

...Well, that sucks. Five days seems like a really long time. Is turning into a vampire that complicated?

[Looks curiously at the new game.]

Hm... S?
