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.]

Beating stuff up, meow.

[Action]

[perplexme]

That doesn't tell me much, you know.

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

[It is to someone like Tao whose IQ is in the double digits.]

But that's all that Tao does! Kind of.

[Action]

[perplexme]

Kind of? [Double-digits or not, Roxas is really puzzled here.]

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

And I spar with people, meow. Like with Boobie Lady!

[Action]

[perplexme]

And funny enough I have no idea who that is. What do you spar with?

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

My claws, meow!

[Sure enough, from the slits of her paw-sleeve things spring out metallic claws.]

[Action]

[perplexme]

Uh. Wow. Um. [He's going to just stare.] They look...sharp.

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

They're good for slashy-slashy things!

[Action]

[perplexme]

You could do some serious damage with those things. [A beat.] You sure you can throw balloons without popping them?

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

[Yep. That's not even talking about her combos. But she retracts her claws.]

...Maybe!

[Action]

[perplexme]

[When she retracts her claws, Roxas reaches into the bucket of water balloons he brought with him. It's only a few, if anything just to show people what they look like.]

Here, try one of these. [He tosses her a green one to see if she'll catch it or pop it.]

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

[She does catch it, with a little bit of fumbling. She's scared it's going to pop, but it doesn't.]

Huh?

[Action]

[perplexme]

...huh. I guess it works out, doesn't it? Try throwing it back.

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

[Throwing it back, but with a bit more force than necessary.]

[Action]

[perplexme]

[And it takes some effort, but he catches it and juggles it in his hand.]

Pretty strong, aren't you? Try not to hurt anybody.

[Action]

[catus_carnival]

Tao will try.

[There are no guarantees when she's involved.]
