Fortieth Keychain-[Voice/Action]

[perplexme]

Yeah, yeah, we get it, new people. Can we stop talking about it already and figure out what we're supposed to do with all of them?

[Currently Roxas is sitting on the ledge of the roof of one of the community buildings. Don't mind him.]

[Roxas is totally wary of this guy still.]

Never Was. And I guess Twilight Town. And I guess the islands, too.

Never Was, Twilight Town? The islands? Which one is it? I've never heard of any of those worlds.

[perplexme]

I've lived in all three in the past year.

[mastersavenger.livejournal.com]

But where were you born?

... You know, a vivid imagination won't help you become a Keyblade Master.

[perplexme]

...I think technically I was born in Hollow Bastion, if Sora's memories are right and what everyone has said is right.

I already know how to use the Keyblade though.

[mastersavenger.livejournal.com]

Sora? That kid's best friend?

I know you do, but you're not a Master.

[perplexme]

What kid?

I don't need to be a Master, I'm already better than you.

[mastersavenger.livejournal.com]

The boy with the silver hair.

Are you now? [Skeptical look is most skeptical.] What makes you think that?

[perplexme]

Riku.

Simple. [Give him a second and he calls forth both Keyblades.]

[mastersavenger.livejournal.com]

Riku. Riku's best friend. What does he have to do with you?

[What. A soft, surprised noise is his answer, and he drops his arms.]

Two...? Where did you get those?

[perplexme]

That doesn't matter to you, I'm guessing.

I've always had them. [Which isn't a total lie, but..]

[mastersavenger.livejournal.com]

Of course it matters. You're saying you're not you... not Ven!

[He hesitates, starting to really wonder about the kid's identity thanks to those keys.]

Is that so? [Holds his hand out, summoning his own Keyblade.] I don't know how... How you got those or how you could be someone else when you look just like him. But there's one thing I can be sure of: no matter who you are, you're not better than me.

[perplexme]

Because I'm not Ven. I'm not Ven, I'm not Sora, I'm Roxas!

[He gives his Keyblades a few test swings then.]

Wanna find out?

[mastersavenger.livejournal.com]

Forgive me for saying it, but I think you're lying to yourself.

[And slips into his battle stance.]

You bet.

[perplexme]

We'll see about that. [And now he's just poised and ready. He's waiting for Terra to move first to see what his fighting style is and since I have no idea if Roxas could really beat him or not.]
