One of those weekends where all the weird stuff's affecting people differently, huh? Sorry, guys. At least it's almost over.

[ooc: yup, another one with no clue the memory was added. though he won't mind so much when he realizes.]

....It's not very safe to eat ice cream while you're hanging off a roof.

[ but his voice is fairly muted, and lacking his usual pointed edge. ]

[binarysky]

What? Oh—

[There's a period of silences while he looks again and realizes what's been shown.]

Maybe not. But we never fell.

[forhishonor]

Just because you never fell before doesn't mean you won't fall in the future. Idiot.

video;

[binarysky]

I know we won't.

video;

[forhishonor]

[ --that's awfully certain. ]

How can you know that? No one knows the future.

video;

[binarysky]

Back where I come from, we don't really have one.

video;

[forhishonor]

'One' what? Future? [ scoff ] How do you not have a future?

is this one of those curses
that video

text;

[binarysky]

Yeah. This one's happened before. I just didn't notice right away.

text;

[sickbeat]

what is it anyway

text;

[binarysky]

The curse or the memory? The curse just...makes videos out of stuff that's happened to you, I guess. I remember it happening just like it showed.

My memory was just a day me and my best friend were hanging out. He isn't here now.

[sickbeat]

so the memory can be anything
like if The Deities wanted to they can show off all the times you picked your nose when you thought no one was looking
or that one time you got away with the perfect murder if it werent for those meddling kids and their dog

Re: text;

[binarysky]

Uh. Yeah. If that happened. Or I guess if it didn't happen, but I've never heard anyone say they showed a fake memory.

video;

[zipperbent]

I feel like I just watched a movie. [HE KNOWS ABOUT MOVIES NOW!!!!!]

Of your life? Or the life of someone who looks exactly like you?

video;

[binarysky]

[AREN'T THEY AWESOME BRO]

It was, sort of. But that really happened. It was a memory...made into a movie.

video;

[zipperbent]

[THEY ARE TOTALLY AWESOME. and he's just gonna nod because....ok sure we can roll with this.]

So what's the Organization, exactly? And why are you guys dressed all in black? Part of the uniform?

video;

[binarysky]

It's..uhh...a group I used to be in. Left a long time ago, though. And yeah—we all wore the coat. I still have mine.

video;

[zipperbent]

[chin in hand]

Just a group full of people in black coats. I see.

video;

[binarysky]

There was a little more to it than that, but yeah.

[skylight]

[ WANDERING INTO YOUR PERSONAL SPACE BRO. Wherever you are. They have bro-radar maybe. In any case before Roxas sees Sora, he'll probably see the ice cream cone proffered, stuck into his line of vision. Sprinkles included. ]

Hey.

[binarysky]

[ Always, bro. He'll take that cone. ]

Oh, hey.

[skylight]

[ Tilting his head as he drops down beside him, he folds his legs up under him - criss-cross applesauce another kid once described it and Sora's not really sure why but the phrasing still makes him smile. ]

You okay?

[ He's not sure still how to navigate waters involving Axel, involving anything Organization with Roxas which on the one hand is maybe silly. He's never given this much thought to inter-workings before, but maybe that's the result of being in one place for so long. He wonders if he'll think about this stuff when eventually they leave and hopes as fast that he will. Some people say they forget but Sora doesn't want to. His time here is important to him the way all individual things are - like nothing else, and irreplaceable. ]

[binarysky]

I'm all right.

[ He really is. If it were another memory, or if he were in a different place emotionally, maybe he wouldn't have been. But while he still doesn't like the idea of his past going on display, and there's still a painful tugging sensation in his chest, there are good feelings, too. ]

It was kind of nice to see him again.

[skylight]

[ Sora can, in a sense, identify with enjoying just seeing or hearing someone. It's how he feels he supposes about dreams; he often dreams of home and it's something ultimately he'd rather experience than, well, not. With Roxas of course it's different, these being memories, things of history rather than subconscious missing. But there's a common ground somewhere between the two - the appreciation of things even if they aren't immediately here or simply are no longer.

Their shoulders bump purposefully as Sora leans to one side briefly before straightening. ]

It was nice for me too, if it's okay to say. [ He pauses, takes a lick of the ice cream, pauses, kicks his feet. ] Wish I got to know him more.

[ For his perspective on Roxas and for Axel in and of himself, Axel who Sora can never and will never quite believe didn't have something of a heart. 'Facts' pale in the face of gut feelings for someone like Sora. It's part of why he is who he is and sometimes it's folly. But sometimes it's not. ]

[binarysky]

You would have liked him.

[ He bumps back, a little playfully, certain in his assessment, and not because he knows Sora well now. He knows Axel too, the real Axel, and he can't imagine people not liking him.

Maybe not Vexen. ]

It was like that most of the time with us. He didn't have to worry about the rest of the Organization when we hung out, or about putting up some kind of front—that was the good part. We got to just be ourselves, best friends.
