[Riku chuckles lightly; he can't help but think of a certain collection of people with worst intentions in mind he had once upon a time agreed to work with back home.]

I'm not surprised. Those kinds of constellations tend to be volatile, even if there's a firm hand in charge.

[And undoubtedly Ganondorf is just as intent on keeping his ducks in row as Maleficent had been.]

Well, those have always been their target.

[The play is old and Riku is almost surprised that Ganon is aiming at it again. ...Though he supposes it has been a year since the last time.]

...What exactly is the next move beyond that?

[You seriously don't know how many times those memories have bugged him in his time sitting in on those meetings, or how he's imagined Sephiroth with a serpentine scepter instead of Masamune. Seriously why is he in those meetings again? ...Right.]

I know. The fact that they're low on ideas otherwise is a little unnerving. As for their next move... they are indecisive. Ganondorf himself is refusing to start the next campaign, likely hoping one of the others will act instead.

[Whether that will be so or not... well, they all know the hero population of the tower well enough.]

Right now they seem more focused on the explosions: namely what caused them.

[Well, that's an entertaining picture at least, though considering the rumors about him back home, Sephiroth levels probably far above Jafar in competence. ...But then again, he did have that screen smashing fit when they investigated Riki's room (and Riku will always maintain that while he undoubtedly set things off with his semi-successful Keyblade-hack, the screen smashing didn't help them any either). Anyway.

He hums thoughtfully at Ira's words, arms crossing loosely, one hand reaching up to touch against his chin.]

...That's interesting. Is he out of ideas himself or do you think he might be holding back for a particular reason?

[Because if he is... well, Riku isn't particularly interested to get himself or Ira involved in any infighting of this group, it's still a good idea to keep an eye on it, if there is any.]

The ones at the end of September?

[It still beats Oogie Boogie. Everything beats Oogie; even his own roulette.]

Likely just hasn't thought of anything yet. I'll give the lull until someone attacks one of the other members or something before he thinks of the next plot and lashes out.

[And considering what he did to Ryoji and whoever protected him? He would not be surprised in the least if that happened or the members of Pandora outlive their usefulness to his plans.]

Those are the ones.

[Yep. Oogie just can't win, can he?]

I'm not sure if I should find that comforting or concerning.

[On the one hand there is no need to worry about any schemes right at this moment, but on the other... Riku can't help but feel wary when things are getting too quiet.

He is however just waiting for the day that Ganondorf makes another attempt to a take over of the tower, that he calls for a loose alliance like back in July, only to stab them in the back in the last second. If/When it happens, it come a surprise, to him at least, but admittedly... Riku does have some experiences with allying with elements of evil that most of their 'faction' have not.]

Do they have any information about what caused those that we don't?

They don't. It's all guesswork, though their most consistent one is that strange retrieval unit.

[Meaning: Aria. Not that he knows the name yet.]

The one in the infirmary.

[Well... Riku may or may not have some information on that ~~his mun isn't quite sure~~, btu well if he does... he prefers to play his cards close to his chest for now.]

Anything else?
