Fifty-Third Keychain - [Voice/Action]

[Roxas is not stupid. Let's just make that clear. He's a bit of a derp, yes, but he's not stupid and he's been keeping track of the days. Valentine's Day is very soon, and he knows that that usually means the Malnosso do everything they can to mess with them on the holiday.

That being said, he's preparing himself for a weekend (or a whole week, really) locked inside KH house. In his hands he's got a stack of red origami paper, a stack of white origami paper, and a box of cookies. Food's important, after all.

As he starts walking home though, he starts letting his mind wander. A holiday dedicated to love. Xaldin explained love once. Axel explained love once, too. Roxas liked Axel's better, even if all of it was pretty unclear back then. Years later it's still kind of unclear though, especially given what he's seen with people around Luceti. It's due to that line of thought that he finally pauses in the middle of the town square, juggling with the things in his arms to open his journal and address the public.]


What kind of love stories are common where you guys are from? Are they real stories, or are they kind of like fairy tales?

...and if you can't think of love stories, maybe just talk about what you think love is.

[He's going to close the journal as he continues on his way back to the house. Don't worry, he'll open it again to talk to people when he gets back to his bedroom. Once there, he's going to be spending some time working on using his origami paper to fold a bunch of these. Once he's got a handful folded up though, he's going around the house and taping them wherever he sees fit. Could be the wall of the kitchen, could be the bathroom door, could be Kairi's bed, wherever! Housemates are free to catch him in the act of either making or hanging the hearts. And maybe steal one of his cookies.]

Knew a lad once what married a girl he could only see every ten years.

[It's the saddest story about love that Sparrow knows.]

Why did he marry her?

[Jack switches to video mode, holding up the creased photo of Kiera Knightly that he ripped out of Buffy's Cosmo magazine.]

That's why. And the rest is a bit complicated, to say the least, boy.

Pretty? Pretty? Lizzie was pirate king, son. Fierce and beautiful and sensuous and...and.....

Feh. Dunno anymore, myself, but I'm certain they're happy enough.
doubleppk: (Mm)

Dozens of love stories. I guess Romeo and Juliet is a really famous one.

I'm truly not sure anymore. People here seem to think my world might have a lot of versions of itself.

It's pretty popular, considered the basic formula for a love-romance story. Boy meets girl, girl loves boy, boy can't have girl, they both get desperate and do something ridiculous.

Though hopefully most romances don't end in a suicide pact or there wouldn't be much left of the population, ne?

Because. Those fairy-tale stories that make love into some all-powerful force? None of that exists in reality.

Well, if someone is your friend, then you want them to be happy. That means staying by their side, in the good times and the bad.

Oh yes. If you didn't want them to be happy, then you wouldn't love them.

Ever heard of the phrase, "it's a thin line between love and hate"?

Because love tends to be depressing.

Actually, I think I'd read a sequel to Romeo and Juliet where they're zombies. That'd be hilarious.

Me? Have a problem with it? Naaaaaah, I'm just curious.

You asked. What d'you think replaces those warm, fuzzy feelings once they fade?

Resentment, misery, rage. Even with friends... all it takes is one slip up to break that bond, huh?
