[April 15th, Daytime, Open]

[Roxas needed to get out of his temple and fast. Being cooped up in there trying to figure out a way for Raichi to get in and Sora visiting has left him with the feeling of cabin fever. His first target of course will be a book store. There's plenty to read up on, plus he wanted to expand his ever growing manga collection. This one is already putting the one back in Koriko to shame.

His next stop would be any place where there's animals, such as a pet store or possibly a dog park. Roxas wants a pet that isn't a deer, what he thinks might be a bear somewhere in the woods, or an assortment of game birds. Having those as sacred animals was rough on the nerves. A dog might be nicer as a companion.

Roxas, before heading to a spot he really wants to check out, will wind up in a park. It's nice and comfortable there, and being pretty unnoticed by people makes it much easier to doze off in the grass. He's still awake enough to notice people nearby... but maybe not someone who walks quietly.]

[April 15th, Sunset, Prompt for Dataroxas]

[There was a lot of things to mull over. So Roxas found the highest place in town and just sits on the roof to enjoy the setting sun. He was always drawn to high places. Part of him wonders if Axel and Sora were, too, or that guy. That guy who he disliked immensely from the moment they met. Thinking about that guy was ruining the moment, so Roxas shoves him as far out of his mind as possible so he can enjoy ice cream in peace. He's rather lost in his happier memories from back in Twilight Town.]

Maybe I should bring Axel up here sometime...

[April 15th into April 16th, Evening to Morning, Artemis' Temple, Open]

[Since his discussion about gods and their family times, Roxas has wondered how he could reach out to the other Greek pantheon gods. He isn't actually all that sure about who was who past Aphrodite and Hermes. At the moment it just didn't jive with him to ask about it on the BBS again. Hermes would let him know if more were found. Right?

He's mostly wandering on the edge of his temple grounds to check on the statues during the night. When that's done, Roxas sits by the walkway to his temple watching everything else go by. Seems this little god can't sleep tonight.]

[April 16th, Daytime, Prompt for Axel]

[It was time to see where his best-friend-yet-not works! Roxas had suggested an ice cream stand to the red head. Was it take seriously? He's determined to find out. It's not hard to find Axel with that red hair and those green eyes. Walking right up to him, Roxas puts his hands on his hips, looking up at his friend.]

Found you!

[April 16th, Evening, Open]

[The Near Shore was really fascinating at night! It was like a different population of people were out and about. Roxas was so used to seeing spirits, ghosts, and monsters instead of humans, so he's utterly fascinated by all of the humans. This kid can be easily spotted just watching people walk around, listening to their conversations, and just... rather enjoying this activity. He might need a less weird suggestion for entertainment.]

[OOC: Feel free to either specify a time or place not listed above. I'm up for anything. These are just general prompts for people to go on! You can even have a private prompt of your own! Contact me at chromatus or pm his account!]

[chainbroke]

It is very easy to speak with him...

[missingache]

I gotta ask him if he likes Kairi as much as the other one.

[chainbroke]

[ ...? ]

Why?

[missingache]

The other Sora, when I asked him what it felt like to like someone, got all red and kept talking about Kairi. I think he really likes her.

[chainbroke]

Oh.

[ ... ]

Does that bother you...?

[ ?????? ]

[missingache]

[He thinks it over for a moment before nodding a little.]

Kind of. It's like an annoying little voice in my head. Most of the time I didn't care, but sometimes I got mad.

[Like how Shiro was close to some people that Roxas either didn't know or didn't like. Jealousy?]

[chainbroke]

Oh...

[ Huh. She's not really sure what that means. ]

You're not mad at him... or Kairi, are you?

[missingache]

Of course not! I feel bad for feeling like that.

[If he was back in Koriko, Hane would know what's going on. She was so good with things like this.]

[chainbroke]

Okay. I'm sorry.

[ ... ]

... I don't think I can help you, Roxas... I don't really-- have much experience with things like this... Um, maybe ask someone who'd know more?

[ Who? We don't know. ]

[missingache]

It's okay! I've had a lot longer to figure out this heart thing. It's not fun sometimes...

[He nods.]

Not Sora, and not Axel.

[chainbroke]

[ ... Speaking of Axel. ]

Roxas... I've been meaning to ask. Are you... okay? With Axel not remembering you? Or... or anything.

[missingache]

[.....]

I hate it. Now I know what he felt like when I forgot him, but I still hate it. I called him my best friend when I saw him... and now he's going out of his way to be friends with me. I shouldn't have said anything. I should have backed off the moment I knew he didn't remember me. Let him remember on his own and not force him into being my friend.

[chainbroke]

[ She hates it, too. ]

... Mm. I don't like it, either. [ She definitely doesn't like that Riku doesn't remember her-- anything else, too. ] But, Roxas... I think, if it makes you feel any better, Axel isn't the type to do something he feels forced into. Or... that's how he's been, for me.

[missingache]

[He couldn't care less if Riku forgot him if he wasn't so set on getting a rematch.]

.... Everyone keeps telling me what he's like. What if he feels guilty for forgetting me? I wanna hang out with him, but I wanna know how he actually feels about me.

[chainbroke]

Mm... well... if he does feel guilty... Um, if it were me, I'd tell him it wasn't his fault he forgot. That I'm not mad. I think... just talking about how you both feel will be good.

[missingache]

[He's not good at that, Naminé.]

I just don't want him to lie to me if I do tell him those things.

[chainbroke]

[ ... That's actually a valid concern. ]

Then... all you can do is hope he doesn't lie to you.

[missingache]

He's lied a lot since I've known him.

[It's no wonder that he takes everything his friend says with a grain of salt.]

[chainbroke]

... Mm. But... maybe... maybe if he's here, things will be... different.

[ ... Which reminds her... ]

Did you... um, did you see who arrived?

[missingache]

Maybe. He doesn't remember anything, so he can't lie about any of that.

[Have some faith in Axel, Roxas.]

Huh? I know someone who looks just like a friend of mine showed up. There was a lot of new people.

[Please don't say Saix.]

[chainbroke]

That's true...

[ ....... ]

Um... Saïx. [ Before he can protest-- ] He was... nice, to me. [ ... Her tone is very distinctly "this is really weird." ] It's strange... but maybe being here will change them both.

[missingache]

... he did try really hard to find me sea-salt ice cream...

[He tenses, staring at the ground.]

I met him, too. I almost attacked him... even if he can't remember anything, I can't trust that guy.

[chainbroke]

I think... that's a very good sign.

[ Oh, she's made him uncomfortable. Naminé fidgets. ]

I'm sorry-- for bringing him up. For what it's worth, I don't think I can completely trust him, either...

[missingache]

The other Roxas has some. I don't think I'm gonna tell Axel that.

[No, it's alright friend.]

I wonder if Sora's run into him. Or the others.

[chainbroke]

Mm. Maybe we should ask him...
