[Roxas sounds especially annoyed and harassed today, yet rather resigned.]

Oof—hey, stop shoving—it's one of those weekends again, huh?

Hey, new people, try to be a little more considerate. I know it's confusing but some of us live here. Don't be so pushy.

So, anyone I know show up this time? [There might be one or two people he hopes will show up one day.]

[OOC: GO FOURTH WALL GO. Canonmate visitors would be especially loved.]

Comments

[letxequalnull]

Yes, I do recall something of that nature. Although I cannot claim surprise that people are yet inconsiderate.

[So about those canonmates....]

[binarysky]

[Oh, for—it's a good thing he's half-Disney and doesn't know many curse words, old boss.]

Not like you could feel it anyway, right?

[letxequalnull]

That is correct. I see you have learned, since I was last here.

[binarysky]

Oh. So you remember.

[Whee, he's thrilled.]

I knew that much before. Nobodies aren't ever supposed to feel.

[letxequalnull]

Also correct. Anything else is mere delusion, although I shall not stop you from believing you can yet feel. Not today.

[fourteen]

Ow-- Sorry! I was just--

[ ...... wait. ]

Roxas?

[ Have a roughly 17 year old girl with violet wings and black hair down to her shoulders staring at you, bro. ]

[binarysky]

It's okay, just try not to—

[And this sixteen...sev—okay who really knows—he's struck dumb by the sight of her. It's strange, because he has no idea why.]

[fourteen]

... Roxas? Are you okay?

[ Looking at him with some concern ... then her eyes flick to his shoulder. Over which there is a distinct lack of wing. ]

Oh! Wait, where am I? [ Spinning around. ] I thought something was strange... [ Turning to face him again. ] What is this place?

[binarysky]

I'm fine, just kind of claustrophobic.

It's called the City, this sort of thing happens once in a while, but it's still... [He shakes his head, as if to knock the cobwebs out.] I'm sorry—who are you, again? I feel like I'm forgetting something really important.

[fourteen]

[ That pings a memory in her, too, if her soft gasp is anything to go by. It's been years... but how could she forget that moment? When she died...

The answer she wants to give is immediate, reflexive, and awful. Nobody. I'm nobody.

But she stays silent. She's not that 14 year old girl anymore, and hasn't been for a long time. Her voice is soft when she speaks. ]

... Xion. My name is Xion. [ Her wings flutter in a nervous way. ] Um-- I think this happens sometimes where I'm from, too. Though I can never remember it when it's not happening...

[ A beat. ]

Maybe I should go...

[beforethemoon]

Maybe you should watch where you're going.

[binarysky]

Maybe you should have stayed where you came fr—

[Blink. Blink. Woah.]

...do I know you?

[beforethemoon]

Yeah, I think we met not that long ago... It was Ventus, right?

[binarysky]

No, I'm not Ventus...I met him before, though. A while ago.

I'm Roxas.

[beforethemoon]

Long lost twin?

[wondernyan]

[Omnomnom, there is a blue cat/dog/catdog/squishy thing eating cake in your vicinity.]

[What do, Roxas.]

[What. Do.]

omg

[binarysky]

[...the heck is a dog like that doing here? Wait, is it a dog? He can't really tell.]

Uh...hey there, boy...or girl...

:3

[wondernyan]

[Wait. Wait.]

[Oh my gosh oh my gosh that smells like my boy.]

[WONDERNYAN! AWAY!]

[Bounce bounce bounce.]

[Think fast if you don't want to get squished.]

[binarysky]

[That is a very enthusiastic bouncing. At least, Roxas is pretty sure it is. Who knows about the body language of...whatever species this is?

No, it's definitely enthusiastic, he decides as it bounces closer.

And closer.]

Uh...

[Surely it'll stop, right? OR MAYBE NOT sob Roxas is about to be the most squished lil Nobody in the City.]

[wondernyan]

[LOVE ME!]






[...you know, whenever you can get up from under the wriggly, squishy bulk of my love. Sorry about that.]

[foroblivion]

Shove back.

[binarysky]

[...welp. His attention, you have it.]

Axel.

[Just a name. Because what else do you say when you never thought you'd get to say anything to a friend again?]

[foroblivion]

Hey, partner.

[binarysky]

H...hey.

It's been a long time.

[foroblivion]

Yeah? Why don't you tell me all about that, after explaining what this place is.
