Fifty-Fifth Keychain - [Action]

[perplexme]

[Okay, it's warm. Very very warm. Even for the evening it's hotter than usual...but that doesn't explain why there's a blond boy wandering through the forest without his shoes and without his shirt. True to New Feather nature, the boy's wearing just the white cotton pants as he shuffles along through the forest.

It isn't until he gets to the center of town that he stops, staring at his surroundings with blank eyes. Well, great. None of this is registering.

Attention, Luceti. Would the owners of a blonde derp please come and claim your friend? He's not going anywhere for a while. It's a little too hard to process anything right now.

Is he staring at you? Or you? You seem like someone interesting.]

[Oh bro you are not interesting...more like kind of scary. Roxas is going to jump back and swing his arm, his own weird way of defending himself. He doesn't run off, and he doesn't attack the creature, but he gives it a cautious look. What are you and why are you approaching? Okay, okay...walking closer again and peering down.]

[ Repliku startles at that. Whoa, dude, what's up with you? ]

[perplexme]

[It's a long story that Roxas can't quite remember. He gives Repliku another blink, crouching a little to get a better look while still being on guard.] ...what...?

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ ... "What", what? Did your memories get screwed up? He's only been like this for almost a year now. ]

[perplexme]

[He steps back and waves his hand, summoning his Keyblade. The problem is, it's just a normal Kingdom Key. He points it at Repliku for a moment, tilting his head as though deciding what to do with him.

On the bright side, he's not going to kill him. But better to be safe than sorry.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ ...

Yeah okay, he is not scared of the Kingdom Key. He's more... okay concerned is totally not the right word here because HE IS NOT CONCERNED FOR ROXAS OKAY 8| but... what happened to you?

Still, he takes a small step back. It doesn't look like it was done in fear, but more just to give Roxas a bit of space. ]

[perplexme]

[As soon as he sees the creature is backing off, Roxas slightly lowers his Keyblade down. Huh. So that's how this thing works without killing. Neat. Still, he holds it loosely in his hand, regarding the figure carefully.

Heartless. His mind tells him that that is a Heartless. But it doesn't seem so bad...]

...hello. [He's curious. Can the creature speak? Can it interact? He's thinking no, but this place has been rather enlightening today.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Stare. Stare stare. Headtilt.

...

He nods in response. That's about the best Roxas is getting. ]

[perplexme]

[And waving the Keyblade away completely. Blinking, blinking.]

...Heartless. [He's assuming. Is he correct?]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ ... Kind of. Not really. But whatever, close enough, he doesn't have to deal with explaining this when he can't even speaking. Nodding again and tilting his head. Wow man the Malnosso really did a number on you, huh? ]

[perplexme]

[And you know what? We're just going to plop on the ground right here and continue staring.] ...why...are you here? [Why Roxas is expecting Repliku to answer him, nobody's quite sure.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ He's here because the Malnosso haven't sent him home yet. 8| Same reason why you're here. Although, apparently what's waiting for him back home isn't going to be fun, so. Maybe he's here to put off that. ]

[perplexme]

[He's going to start drawing in the dirt with his finger.] Kidnapped. Right?

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Repliku nods and scoots a little closer. What are you drawing there? ]

[perplexme]

[It looks very much like one of the droids that came to kidnap him, along with one of the Malnosso that tested on him and briefly spoke to him. The Malnosso is pretty void of detail, but Roxas is tentatively drawing anyway. They're the few memories he has, after all, and they're precious to him.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ He scoots closer again to get a better look. Rep doesn't really remember either of the times he was kidnapped that well, so it looks pretty unfamiliar to him. ]

[perplexme]

[He uses a finger to tap the one that looks like the Malnosso scientist.] He brought me. [Back to the village, he means.] Not sure why.

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Repliku scoots closer again and tries to study it for the detail that isn't there. ]

[perplexme]

...Malnosso. [And he wipes away the drawing, trying again even though it's just the same blank man.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Well he figured. You're not doing a much better job this time around, dude. ]

[perplexme]

...you're staring. [Why are you staring.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Fine, you know what? He's going to try writing in the ground next to Roxas's drawings. ]

'what happened?'

[perplexme]

[And again, he jerks his head a bit because WHOA.] ...you understand. [He's going to focus again.] I don't know.

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ ... Well if he didn't understand he'd probably be trying to attack you right now, so. Yeah. ]

'You don't remember anything?'

[perplexme]

[He reads the words again, shaking his head.] ...I'm Roxas. [That's to say that's about all he knows about anything.]
