Riku

[dragonbadfaith]

((continued from here))

[He really wants to argue and the look he shoots Riku is about as skeptical as one can get, because random fruit floating in midair can never mean anything good, but. Well.

It's not as though this situation could really get any stranger.

So he jumps up as they run beneath it, lifting a hand to snatch it out of the air. Immediately, the number 100! flashes where the cherry used to be and then fades away, and Draco grins.]

Brilliant, points! So probably I'm still beating you, then.

[...Easily distracted. But the ghosts remind him of their presence soon enough, and suddenly Draco's hauling the fruit back in his arm.]

I'm going to throw the cherry at them! Maybe it's a magic cherry!

[One that...solidifies ghosts! Or something. ...He really had NO idea how this game works.]

[undauntingdawn]

[really? points NOW? riku resists an urge to roll his eyes. okay, he gets being competitive, he can be stupidly so himself, but this level of stupid far surpasses that.]

Now's really not the time, ferret boy!

[what does the magic cherry do when it hits the ghost? goes right through it and rolls down the hall, that's what. good if you were trying to have a fruit tossing contest; bad if you wanted to actually do something.

that leaves the big pellet. maybe it'll end up being nothing more than an overgrown bowling ball; maybe it'll actually do something useful. only one way to find out. riku grabs it and then the weirdest thing happens. in addition to the ball vanishing, the ghosts, by now probably only a foot or two away, start flashing blue and then immediately run the opposite direction. the ghostly retreat causes riku to breathe a small sigh of relief.]

That did the trick... Whatever the trick was.

[dragonbadfaith]

For Merlin's sake, it's Draco. Draco Malfoy!

[CLEARLY ALSO NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW, but whatever. He can only take being called a ferret so much, and harrumphs slightly even as he launches the apparently-not-magic cherry at the ghost.]

...Bollocks.

[Then Riku does his thing and Draco watches in near disbelief as the ghosts suddenly turn tail and take off down the opposite end of the corridor.

...

Well.

Draco huffs and props his hands on his hips.]

You just got lucky.

[undauntingdawn]

[is that a little bit of jealousy at not being the one to save the day? riku snorts softly, almost laughing. one track mind, just like a certain little furry weasel-thing.]

Luck's what it's all about when you're running blind.

[or running away from ghosts, who might still be back if they just keep standing around. that means only one thing can get done now: keep moving and track down an exit. riku has no clue where one could be around here, but searching for a while beats standing and doing nothing.]

Come on. Maybe while I'm fire, I can land us a way out of here.
