I really don't think this is a good idea. But I guess it's your choice.

And I get that you're nervous. Just don't forget about me, okay? I'm not you. I'm in your head, but I'm not you. I'm just not going through the same things you are. Otherwise, this could be fun, you know? Don't take it too seriously. Just throw me out there and see what happens.

Relax. You'll get the hang of it.

...Look who!

Hey there, Roxas. It's been a while.

1/2

[theotherpromise]

Axel-!

2/2

[theotherpromise]

Yeah, it has. You're usually late anyway. How've you been?

[doestheickyjobs]

Me late? Hey, now, I'm always on time. Mostly.

-- Anyway, I've been fine. Hanging around in this bashed-up city, dodging rains of fire, you know, the usual. What about you?

[theotherpromise]

You mean whenever it was my turn to pay for the ice cream? In that case, you're always on time.

What kind of city is that? I would think you'd be the one to make it rain fire, not the one dodging it.

Nothing yet. This is my first time being outside of private roleplays. It feels strange, and the mun's pretty nervous, but I'm excited too.

[doestheickyjobs]

[Axel grins.] You've got it. Hey, it takes time waiting in line, right? ...And tell whoever it is not to be nervous. You're doing pretty good.

They call the place Adstringéndum.

[He plants one hand on his hip, the other describing an illustrative arc.] And to be fair, it only rained fire once. It's not as much fun as you'd think to be on the receiving end!

Ahh thank you ; ;!

[theotherpromise]

[Have a grin right back.] Sure it does. I'll let her know. Thanks.

Well, it does kinda' sound like a place that would rain fire, even just once. What are you doing there anyway?

[Roxas chuckles a little.] Yeah, that doesn't really sound like fun. At least you can say you lived through that sort of thing?

I like your Roxas! ♥ Are you looking for a game for him?

[doestheickyjobs]

Been there, done that, don't want to do it again... [right. A casual shrug, and he lets the subject go. The house-sized illusion monsters hadn't been a whole lot of fun either.]

I've been there, oh, just over a year now. Xion, too - and a couple of other people you'd recognize.

You've even been through a time or two, but you're better at getting out than me.

I am! But I'll be honest: I really haven't played a game before!

[theotherpromise]

Let's hope you don't have to. [That sounds like loads of fun. Though Roxas can't say he hasn't faced Heartless that have ended up that big.]

Xion too? [Others?] Is it a mission?

I guess. I just got lucky. I doubt I'm better at it than you.

[doestheickyjobs]

It's not a mission. [He pauses, briefly debating with himself whether he should offer any more details - if Roxas doesn't know what happened, then... well, maybe it's easier to just let things slide.

Nostalgia hits him with a sudden pang. He can't remember if anyone said it out loud, but he remembers wishing that time could have gone on forever, before everything started to go wrong.

Of course, it couldn't. And trying to keep it that way would just ruin everything all over again. He runs over the words silently first, but his tone is still uncertain when he tries them aloud.] ... I'm not exactly taking orders anymore, you know. I quit. More or less.


[ooc; You would be very welcome at adstringendum! We've got a fairly big cast, but we lost our Roxas a few months ago. It's a medium-sized, reasonably fast game, but I've found it to be very welcoming, friendly and laid-back for the size it is~]

[poppetstrings]

Roxas!

Don't worry, I don't think anyone could forget about you.

It's ironic. That we're talking about forgetting. :'''')

[theotherpromise]

Xion!

Let's hope not. It's great to see you!

:')))) MY BEST CHOICE OF WORDS!

[poppetstrings]

Yeah! I've missed you a lot, you know!

[theotherpromise]

Missed you too, Xion. Sorry I was gone for so long. But hey--I'm back now, right? [Which means they can do things together again, along with Axel. Right?]

[poppetstrings]

Right. Besides, I knew you wouldn't be gone for too long.

[Exactly. Like eating icecream together.]

[theotherpromise]

Where else would I wanna be?

[And making Axel pay for it.]

[poppetstrings]

Out on a mission with Saix, obviously! [she giggles.]

[theotherpromise]

Oh, sure! Especially when I have a death wish. [Roxas chuckles.]

[thefloorislava]

[ have a not-quite-Axel ]

Forget about you? Ha! That's pretty much impossible.

[theotherpromise]

[Not-quite-Axel is way better than no Axel!]

You'd be surprised at the things my mun forgets sometimes. But really, thanks.

Hey, what happened to your tattoos?

[thefloorislava]

[WAY better!]

You're way too annoying to be forgotten, kid. [elbows!]

Ah... they went away. I didn't have them before I was a Nobody, you see. [wink]

[theotherpromise]

Hey! [Playfully shoves his shoulder and laughs!]

'Went away?' [Que confused stare.] Axel, what happened?

[thefloorislava]

Hahahaha! I'm right, though!

Well, for one thing, you don't have to call me Axel if you don't want to. I'm back to being Lea. [He grins] Turns out if a Nobody dies, they go back to being whole. Go figure.

[theotherpromise]

Don't be a jerk! [Another laugh!]

[Roxas is totally lost.] You've- You're whole again? What about everyone else in the Organization? [Xemnas? What was everything involving Kingdom Hearts for then, if they just had to die to get their hearts?]

[thefloorislava]

Sorry, it's in my bones!

[he nods] .. Most of them. You wake up in the place where you lost your heart in the first place. So I'm guessing Demyx and Larxene and everyone after me basically woke up in their own worlds, but I don't know for sure. Isa -- Saix -- should have woken up with me. But he wasn't there... but ah, that's not important, right? I don't want to bog you down with dirty details.
