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.]

[flaring]

[Even if you're still armed, Roxas, that might not help you very much. Axel has plans for you now. Terrible, terrible plans once he catches you.

Axel takes off after him, but quickly summons a dark corridor and steps through it, reappearing seconds later in front of Roxas to try and cut him off.]

What's the rush!

[action]

[perplexme]

[Roxas was very sure that he was going to be able to sidestep Axel, really!

...until the taller Nobody uses the dark corridor to ambush him.]

Don't shoot it!

[action]

[flaring]

Oh don't worry, I'm not.

[Instead Axel is making a grab for Roxas. COME HERE BLONDIE.]

[action]

[perplexme]

[And Roxas is going to try to move backwards, but he trips and quickly falls on his butt instead.

Well. Now what, Axel?]

[action]

[flaring]

[Roxas, you are the biggest derp. Axel chuckles as he sends the corridor away for now, advancing on the blonde with a smug look. Though he's also dripping wet so that might not be as effective as normal.

He comes to a stop just before Roxas and grins down at him. You're in for it, best friend.]

You proooobably shouldn't have done that.

[action]

[perplexme]

[Yes. This happens when your Other is a huge derp, too. He doesn't bother moving, knowing that he really doesn't have a chance for a quick escape and instead he just stares up...though yes, his lip is twitching a bit trying not to laugh. You look like a drowned cat, Axel.]

And what are you going to do about it?

[action]

[flaring]

Do you really want to know?

[action]

[perplexme]

...probably not. [And he's starting to crawl away now...]

[action]

[flaring]

[Nooope, you're not going anywhere. Axel takes a hold of Roxas' shirt and yanks him up ...only to drag him through a dark corridor. Where does this dark corridor lead to? Well it just so happens to lead to... the fountain. Yes. Axel drags Roxas out the other side of the corridor and promptly gives him a shove toward the water.]

[action]

[perplexme]

[And he's flailing all the way.] Hey! Axel, come on, let go! [But he doesn't get to protest much before he's dragged through the corridor and immediately flung into the water, landing in the fountain face-first. He comes up, sputtering and splashing.]

Okay, that wasn't fair.

[action]

[flaring]

[LAUGHING. OH GOD YOU LOOK FUNNY.]

Oh, my bad.

[action]

[perplexme]

[Here, have a giant splash of water from inside the fountain trying to hit you, Axel :|]

[action]

[flaring]

[THAT'S OKAY, HE'S ALREADY WET ANYWAY. Just more laughing. So angry, Roxas.]

Oh come on, don't be like that.

[action]

[perplexme]

Man, you're such a jerk sometimes. [Another splash and he's crawling out of the fountain.]

[action]

[flaring]

You started it.

[action]

[perplexme]

You're the one who gave me the idea, actually. Sort of.

[action]

[flaring]

Heh. Glad you're trying to be more of a teenager. A lot more fun, isn't it?

[action]

[perplexme]

Yeah, it is. [A beat.] ...I feel like I fit in again. Like how it was before I...well, you know. [Before he found out his life in Twilight Town was a lie. Before he merged with Sora. Before everything happened.] It's nice.

[action]

[flaring]

You should try it more often.

[action]

[perplexme]

Yeah. I just might have to.

[action]

[flaring]

Maybe even get into a little trouble!

[action]

[perplexme]

What kind of trouble?

[action]

[flaring]

Weeeell. You could always hide on top of one of the buildings in the town square and hit people with some of these water balloons.

[action]

[perplexme]

I thought about that. There's an extra bucket stashed at the top of our old apartment building.

...wanna come with me after the main game?

[action]

[flaring]

You bet. [Giving Roxas a playful slap on the back. lol you're wet.] Sorry about tossing you into the fountain, by the way. Gotta do what it takes to win, y'know?
