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.]

[arrowgunner]

Well look who it is.

[ Xigbar is just gonna slide an arm around you, Roxy, old buddy old pal old friend.

Who killed him. ]

[binarysky]

[AUGH BADTOUCH NO]

Wha—

Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.

[arrowgunner]

Is that any way to greet an old friend?

[ Friend. R i g h t. ]

[binarysky]

If I knew you were coming...actually, I would have made sure to be somewhere else.

[arrowgunner]

Ouch. Why so hostile, tiger?

[ars_scientia]

One would hope that visitors and guests alike were notified, although I would assume by your request this is not the case.

[binarysky]

Well, you did kind of use me for a year and then try to kill Sora.

[binarysky]

No, not rea—

[Blink. Blink.]

Vexen?

[arrowgunner]

Oh. That.

[ Shrug. That arm is still around your shoulders, Roxas. ]

Well, orders are orders.

[ars_scientia]

It's Even, and I would thank you to remember it.

[endtome]

[WHY DOES HE ALWAYS START OUT NOT KNOWING WHERE HE IS?]

...Sorry?

[His bad, bro.]

[Also what's with his face?]

[binarysky]

Your orders stink.

[It buuuurns.]

[binarysky]

No, I'm pretty sure it's Vexen.

[binarysky]

[Woah. There's someone he hasn't seen in a while.]

Hey, I know you...Ventus, right?

[arrowgunner]

Hey, I'm not the one who gives them.

[ars_scientia]

I would trust that even an ungrateful whelp would believe that I know my own name. Besides, the name those pitiful shells carry are hardly proper names and I can assure you that I do not intend to lose my heart so carelessly.

[binarysky]

Not like you have to carry them out, either. [Grumble grumble]

[endtome]

That's me, yeah. [He'd share a friendly smile; he's actually rather partial to them, but...]

Who are you?

[binarysky]

It wasn't your name when I knew you. [shrug] But I don't know if you lost it carelessly or not. Never asked.

[a_parting_word]

It's kind of you to handle shopping matters for your mother.

[binarysky]

[Awkwardly friendly smile on his face, bro]

I'm Roxas. I met you once, a long time ago...actually, I almost forgot about you until now.

[ars_scientia]

And it isn't my name now. Given that it is also unlikely to be, I would hope you had a care to use the proper name, now that it has been given to you.

[arrowgunner]

Sorry kiddo. I like not being a Dusk.

Know what I'd like even more?

[binarysky]

My—

Oh come on.

[binarysky]

Sheesh, sorry. Nice to meet you, Even.
