What—this again? Hey, deities, can you let us know ahead of time when we're going to have guests? I'd have done my shopping earlier if I'd known.

[Roxas sounds more resigned than annoyed. Although he is a little annoyed.]

Sora, Demyx—I'm gonna be late getting groceries for dinner tonight. The streets are really crowded. Again.

[ooc: Fourth Wall time! Visitors are free to network with him, overhear him in person or just bump into him on the street.]

Comments

[binarysky]

[He turns his head when he hear his name, but there's no one he recognizes in sight. Shrugging, he starts to move again.]

[recidivated]

[well, that makes her tilt her head.]

Roxas? Over here!

[she jogs on up to him, giving him a curious look. to further... do the opposite of helping him recognize her, she's not wearing her Organization coat; instead, she's dressed in rather casual clothing.]

I'm sorry for being hideous

[binarysky]

[Woah. Suddenly he feels like he's just been thrown off balance. There's something...really familiar about this girl.]

Um, hi...do I know you?

oh my god tears

[recidivated]

... You don't remember me, huh?

[she should have expected something like this, to be honest. it's happened to her more than once—this is the third time with Roxas alone. and she'd been prepared for it, hadn't she? it was bound to keep happening. that's why she responds to his innocuous question with a smile instead of a frown, albeit one that's rather melancholy.]

IF IT HELPS, HE'S GOING TO DREAM ABOUT HER SOON IN-GAME

[binarysky]

I...should I?

[He sounds baffled, feels baffled, but in the back of his mind, he has an answer to his own question. He really, really should know her.]

what kind of dream are we talking—i mean what

[recidivated]

[she shakes her head and laughs a little. trying to explain this is always painfully awkward. how should she go about it this time...]

...It's kind of a long story.

Traumatized confused remembrance of their fight :c --NOT THAT KIND

[binarysky]

I have time.

[He can't take his eyes off her. Something's very strange—and very wrong.]

oh no 8(

[recidivated]

[she pauses for a while, contemplating her response... with a deep breath, she continues:]

... All right.

[she then looks away from him for a while, taking a chance to glance around at their surroundings.]

Is there anywhere we can go? It might take a while.

[plus it'd be nice to have a seat when she lays some stuff on him.]

/is more horrible

[binarysky]

I don't know, it depends where you want to go...there's an ice cream shop nearby, though. Do you like ice cream?

WOW THAT'S SO BAD ;_;

[recidivated]

[... hearing that response coming from him initially startles her; but after a few seconds, that shock fades. what else could she have expected Roxas to say, after all? she can't help but let out a little laugh... and hope she doesn't cry while doing so.]

That's perfect—I love ice cream.

[binarysky]

[Somehow, hearing that makes him feel better.]

Okay. Come on, this way.

[recidivated]

Right behind you.

[...despite her words, she chooses instead to stay by his side—or, at least, as close as she can be without making him uncomfortable. she's closely watching for his reaction toward her, gauging it...]

[binarysky]

[He leads the way, but otherwise he's waiting on her. He just...doesn't know where this is going.]

[recidivated]

[...well, she figures she may as well start up some small talk, if only to break the awkward silence until they get to their destination.]

What exactly is this place?
