Das Nachtpfauenauge

Please leave a comment with any constructive criticism on how I'm playing Riku (I've never played him before, so this would be very helpful~).

Also, if you'd like Riku to interact with one of your characters, feel free to comment here as well.

Thanks!

There sure have been a lot of birthdays recently! I wonder when Shaaru-chan's birthday would be... the same day as Charles's? No, that probably wouldn't work.

Shaaru-chan, when would you like to celebrate your birthday?

I've been learning a lot in Ema-sensei's class. Though I don't think Charles would like it if I asked to analyze his fingerprints.

Saya-neechan, did you like your White Day chocolate? I'm sorry it was bitter. I couldn't find any white chocolate.

This is a bit belated, but thank you for the card, Charles. I'm happy you're here with me.

Shaaru-chan, would you like me to read some more of A Midsummer Night's Dream after work today? Saya-neechan, I'd appreciate your help balancing the roles. Charles too!

MakubeX-san... I'll be strong for everyone. I won't let anything happen to them. I promise.

Charles, Watanuki-san, should we do something about the store?

Still falls the rain - dark as the world of man, black as our loss - blind as the nineteen hundred and forty nails upon the Cross.

Dame Sitwell expresses the atmosphere better than I could. I'm worried. A lot of people have gone missing, and the weather keeps getting worse. An ice chunk nearly hit me and Charlie on our way back from work. Scientifically speaking, there shouldn't be any possible way for ice that big to reach the surface... but I guess there are a lot of things here that can't be explained.

I feel disconnected

I can't let myself get upset. I have to be strong for the people I care about. MakubeX-san, I'll search for food today. Is... is there anything else you need?

[voice post]

[Riku's voice is high and panicked]

Saya-neechan, MakubeX-san, anyone - does anyone know where I can find gauze and bandages? I can't stop the bleeding, and I can't remember what I'm supposed to do for a chest wound, and I know I can't use a tourniquet, but I don't know what else to do but cover the wound, but there aren't any bandages in the house and I looked and looked...

[murmuring incoherently]

It's just like that time; I can't leave him again; I can't let him hurt Cha-

[Riku gasps, interrupting his rushed thoughts, and when he speaks again, his tone is more decided, with a bare hint of pain]

I have to find something I can use.

[voice]

MakubeX-san, I'm going to be helping Charles out part-time at the library, if it's all right with you. Don't worry; I'll help you sort out rations and help with the food crisis I guess that's a good part about being a Chevalier...

I see from the other network posts that other people woke up with words written on their foreheads too. The Seven Deadly Sins... I hadn't thought the Gods here were Christian, but it would make sense. Repent for violating God's law and find absolution. I wonder if the selection process is based on religious affiliation. I'm not really a Christian myself, but I am a little familiar with the theology.

I just wish this would come off.

Does any-

[Riku stops speaking abruptly and there is a significant pause before he continues. When he does speak again, his tone is distracted.]

Sorry. I thought I... Never mind.

[Private to Charles]

... I want to talk.
