an ocean so deep, he will drown in his sleep.
Date & Time: July 16, around noon.
Location: Initiative Hold: Virtual Reality Training room
Characters: Riku (open)
Summary: Upon deciding to give the virtual reality software another go, Riku decides it's high time to start trying to work out some problems of the other transports'.
Warnings: FOR CUTE. Seriously, we've got cute animals all over here. Beware. This is an open social post, so reply to other threads if you'd like! I will be turning off notifs for this post and will have a thread for the special cases that will need extra help from Riku.
[ the last two months had been particularly hard for the transports within the initiative hold; it was unlikely that it'd get any easier, with the natives angered.
he was a master. it probably didn't mean anything here to most people—it barely meant anything to him back home—but he knew that he had to do something. he was supposed to. … he wanted to. all these people were taken from their worlds, and after seeing what had happened when the initiative tried to send someone back, might be despairing. wars, he knew, took time. time some people didn't have, or want to have. After the full year he'd spent here, he didn't like having to just cope with what happened—he'd healed, but that'd been from back home. Some people couldn't heal. He wouldn't have, had things gone differently.
destroying nightmares was a small thing. it didn't take much energy at all, but as someone plagued with nightmares himself... he knew what a difference it was, to be able to sleep comfortably at night, not lie awake in panic and go about the day only half-energized.
he slipped into the virtual reality room, unsurprised when it flashed into a familiar backdrop. traverse town was the first place he'd come to in the dream realm—didn't surprise him, now, that it'd be the first choice.
with stellaluna in tow, he launched himself up towards the tall building in front of the first district, calming himself by watching the floors below, knowing the other districts were in his reach. the second district, third district, fourth district and fifth district were all open as well--but this was his virtual reality. if he wanted to pop off to the fifth district with its indoor garden, he could.
... maybe this was how joshua felt—omniscience and all.
as a few spirits and nightmares started to peek out, materializing to their own schedule and to whomever they fancied, he lay back. he wasn't going to interrupt; not unless he needed to step in to save someone or talk to them. his powers may not work on his own nightmares, but this was as much calming for him as it was for everyone else. ]
[ ooc: for reference; how a dream eater normally reacts to cuddling and affection.riku will sparkle too but he's not gonna be rolling over anytime soon. video here for sounds. and last, but certainly not least, have the music that plays when interacting with spirits. because it's cute. ]

... Wow.
[Technology in his world couldn't compare to what the Initiative can do, really. But this is virtual. It can't be that bad. So he takes a breath and steps out into the city, jumping the first few times he encounters the dream eaters but eventually realizing their harmless, giving a couple of them some attention but ultimately keeping his hands to himself in case they weren't all friendly and not human-eating.
When he sees Riku, he nearly jumps out of his skin because holy Christmas that was a person and not a weird cute creature.]
-- Um. [oh is he coming this way oh god what did he do] Can I help you?
no subject
Actually, I was wondering if I could help you.
no subject
[He's not defensive, but he's definitely and unmistakably nervous, a little suspicious.]
Why?
no subject
[ he understands that nervousness; his tone of voice is quiet and subdued. ]
Something's wrong with your dreams, right?
no subject
What do you mean? I mean, I guess... it's kind of weird that I've had the same one for ages now but I don't think it's that weird? It's just a dream.
