[Pretend this is early on the 20th. Okay? Okay.

Riku's glancing back and forth between the communicator and his back, looking a cross between curious and kinda worried-ish.]

Did everyone become wind-up people today? Like music boxes. I can't reach the key at all, I'm not sure what I'll do when it starts winding down. [but it's already winding down, technically...] If it runs out am I going to fall asleep until tomorrow? That's a long time to sleep.

[......Y'know what, he's gonna try winding himself up again. Reaching both hands back--nope. Maybe reaching this way--nope. Feel free to watch him spin around in an attempt to grab that key, City.]

[ Oh, it's the boy who talked to him that one time! ]

Do you need help...?

[Oh it's that girl! You get a smile.]

Ah, yes, help would be nice! I'm not sure I want to know what happens if I can't wind myself up.

[ Close enough. ]

It really doesn't sound good...

I'll come over now, if it's okay.

Okay, thank you! I'm at [insert wherever he's living] right now, I hope it's not too far.

It's fine! You helped me before, after all.

Oh, well, I'm glad I could help that time!

Ehehe, and now I'm able to return the favor. I'm glad!

Yes! So now we'll have both helped each o...ther.....

[oops winding down...]

[ adsjfladsjfasd!!!! ]

Oh no! Please hold on, I'll be there soon!

[slowly...moving....]

.....'kay....!

[ Though Riku will have likely stopped moving by the time Chihiro gets there, it won't feel like much time passed at all, maybe. ]

[Luckily he'd gone outside while they were talking, so he shouldn't be too hard to find, stopped right outside the door and all.]

[ Oh, phew! With only a moment of hesitation-- what if he's not strong enough to help?-- he takes a deep breath and...finds that turning the key is not as hard as he expected. Thank goodness! ]
