2.25;

[binarysky]

It's that time again, huh? Okay. Here's some advice for the visitors.

[Roxas whips out a small notebook. He's ready for this, man. He knows the score.]

If you're hungry, or you just want ice cream, this is the best place for it.

[Insert directions to the shop HERE.]

If you wanna meet up with anyone you know who's already in the City, the fountain's a good landmark [that is HERE.]

And, if there's anyone who knows me...well, I'm here. [Have some COORDINATES.] Just in case.

Does this happen a lot? [ Hey facetwin. :|a ]

[binarysky]

[ Yo, bro. ]

Once every few months, yeah. It gets pretty crowded for a couple of days, and then it's back to normal.

[conjoins]

Oh. [ Thinking.. ] So... there's a possibility we can see people we know?

[binarysky]

Yeah. That happens sometimes.

I hope it happens today, too.

[conjoins]

[ His eyes light up with hope - that could possibly mean.. ]

Oh man. [ even though it's only a prospect, Ventus is grinning already. ] That's great! I hope your friends come!

[goshdarnbatku]

[Well this is certainly a surprise; the new world thing he's confused about but trying to take in his stride because hey, new worlds aren't exactly beyond his ken, but suddenly coming face to face with Roxas outside of Sora's heart?

Yeah. Surprising.]

Roxas?

[binarysky]

[Roxas' eyes go wide for a moment, and then he sighs as he lowers the communicator.]

You know, when I said I was here if anyone I knew showed up, I didn't mean you.

[goshdarnbatku]

[Well. Definitely Roxas, and not that other guy who looks just like him.]

I don't blame you for thinking like that.

[binarysky]

[Go bug him instead =n= ]

Whatever.

Welcome to the City. You'll probably be gone in a day or so.

[goshdarnbatku]

[Sorry Nobrody, you don't get rid of him that easily.]

How did you get here? And how long have you been here for?

[sorabug]

[did someone say ice cream.]

[binarysky]

[Did someone say adorable child.]

[sorabug]

[mayhaps!]

Um — could I get those directions again?

[and, after a few second's thought:]

Please?

[binarysky]

Hey, I remember you.

[He...technically is you, or was half of you, once upon a time. Kind of.

He crouches down in front of the kid. D'aw.]

We had ice cream together, didn't we?

1/3

[sorabug]

We did?

[Sora may be only five years old or so, give or take, but that's more than enough time to accumulate hundreds of days of ice cream ventures.]

[look at how many Roxas managed to accumulate, after all.]

[so he pauses, mulling over that question, turning the thoughts over and over in his brain....]

[sorabug]

Ah!

[sorabug]

I remember now!

[he claps a tiny fist over his chest exaggeratedly, a big grin on his face.]

You're that talking firefly! I mean — well, you're not actually a bug... [bug or human or not, wings or not, a friend is a friend in Sora's eyes. though, he'll probably go back to his bug theory once Roxas informs him that he's not Ven.]

Do you feel better now?

[foroblivion]

Guess I'll just have to go check out that ice cream shop, then. Since you've recommended it so wholeheartedly.

[binarysky]

[Slowly, a smile spreads across Roxas' face. Now there's a familiar person he was hoping would show up.]

Guess you will.

[foroblivion]

But these stores won't take my munny. Guess I'll just have to suffer without.

Unless of course, someone else is willing to treat me.

[binarysky]

If only you had a best friend somewhere around here.

[recidivated]

[sup bff. have a Xion who's... slightly older than usual, with a little longer hair and casual, normal (at least by Square Enix terms) clothing.]

What if I want to get ice cream with you?

[binarysky]

[sup, bff he will inexplicably remember for the duration of this visit and then forget again when you're gone ;A;]

Well, I'm pretty close to the store so there's no problem.

[recidivated]

[oh... /deadcat]

That's convenient. [a laugh] It's nice to see you, Roxas.

[binarysky]

Been a while.

[His expression softens.]

At least the deities do us a favor once in a while.
