Fifty-Sixth Keychain - [Voice/Action]

[perplexme]

Man, what's up with this heat wave? Like three days last week and now the second day in a row this week? Axel, maybe you had it right. The ocean's sounding pretty good right now. It's probably too late in the day to get out there though.

[And maybe Axel was right about a few other things. Mainly, Roxas needs to be more of a teenager and less of researcher. So today he's taken the redhead's advice and enlisted in some tomfoolery of his own.

It just happens to be in the form of water balloons. A whole bucket of them, and he's sitting next to them outside of what would be KH house if it was visible to everyone.]

So...I've got a bunch of water balloons that are dying to be popped. Who's up for a fight? Some of you actually don't have a choice, but I'm pretty sure you know who you guys are.

[Don't ask him; he read about it in a book.]

...more like ice cream, not hotdogs. [Though Oswald has it nailed. Those things are important to him because, well, think about it. His two best friends are dead at home, his Other absorbs him and resumes to not having his own life. Of course the little things matter.

Then again, there's the fact that he has to protect everyone from people like Vanitas...]

There are other parts of it, too, but you're pretty close.

But those aren't real responsibilities. Those are just things you do to have fun. Nobody's countin' on you to do anything you don't want to do, like... go to school or... do your job. [Or keep giant Shadow Blots sealed inside thinner jugs.]

[lostinmyway]

Yes, it's always more fun when you have lots of friends playing together with you.

[THIS FACE]

Nothing is on a man's mind during summer except girls, girls and you get to guess for the third but if you guess wrong you'll be punished- Hint: t's girls.

I meant it as something you should thank me for, Roxas. [Which is to say...it was meant as a compliment, even if it didn't come off that way.]

...I believe ya. This time. [She throws an arm around his shoulder as they walk again.] So where are we going?

[action]

[fourteen]

Huh? [ She jerks to attention, finding him suddenly beside her. Jeez, when had that happened? ] Sorry... it's nothing, really. I'm just ... thinking.

[ Her mouth tightens, briefly. But she shakes her head, slow and gentle, and the look disappears. ]

... ... Giving them ten seconds to run.

[perplexme]

Do you have any friends you want to invite, Grune?

[action]

[perplexme]

[He blinks in surprise at her reaction.] You sure? Sometimes your thinking is kind of...intense.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Hey...you. [Just. Staring.] Um. You awake?

[Action]

[perplexme]

...kind of a huge assumption, don't you think? I've got a job here.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Okay fine, thanks then. [He's starting to get that sometimes Lina says things he doesn't quite get.]

Just this time? [He raises an eyebrow at the arm, but he doesn't do anything.] We're going back to my h--[Hold on. Probably not a good idea to tell people you're going to your specially-hidden house.] Just an empty lot. Lots of room to run and everything.

[perplexme]

I get it, I get it. What's your point?

[perplexme]

...maybe five if they actually see the balloon. That should give them a good head-start, don't you think? Never knew you were so devious.

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

Tao is neow!

[generalflirt]

Point Two: ...I'm actually thinking about girls right now.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I'm sure Fenimore would want to come, and Stella, too. And Link--oh, and Dhaos.

[Action]

[kingofwaste]

Whoah, really? No kiddin'? A real job?

[Oswald can't figure out why anyone would bother to get a job here, considering the Malnosso take care of everything anyway.]

[perplexme]

...so you looked conflicted because you were thinking about girls?

[perplexme]

You can call them and have them meet us at the play sight if you want. We've got plenty of balloons.

[Action]

[perplexme]

You weren't asleep long, were you? [Sorry, Roxas is busy trying to figure out what the heck you are.]

[Action]

[perplexme]

If you count protecting people as a real job. I patrol around the area a lot to make sure everyone's safe. I fight monsters if and when they show up. It's not very different from how things were at home.

[Action]

[kingofwaste]

[Oswald wouldn't count that as a job. Not unless you're a cop/knight/soldier. But he'll let it slip because what Roxas says next catches his interest more.]

You fought monsters back home? What kinda monsters? The ones hidin' under little kids' beds?

[lostinmyway]

All right! I'm sure they'll be very happy to join. [Well, Link might be….]

[OOC: So how do you want to do this, anyway?]
