Fifty-Seventh Keychain - [Voice/Action]

[Private, 90% Locked only because it's not that secretive.]

1,095 days. Maybe I should stop counting, but I can't stop. It's weird...it's like nothing's changed, but everything has. In the last three years, I've seen my best friends come and go, I've seen Sora come and go, and I've met someone who looks just like me and a psychopath who kept hurting my friends. But in the last three years, Axel's still as goofy as ever, Xion's learning just as much as I am, and the two of them have stuck with me even with all of my strange thoughts and patterns. I guess that's really what friendship is.

It took three or four tries, but I think I finally understand Sora. I'm still not sure what it all means to me, but I can at least say I feel better about things.

I guess...I've grown. We all have. But what happens after that? Do we all keep growing, or are we going to run out of places to grow? Maybe I'll have an answer to that next year.

...what's the longest amount of time any of you ever thought you'd be here? And were you guys disappointed when that amount of time passed? [Not if. When.] Not to scare the New Feathers or anything, but I know a lot of you out there have been here for a while.

Maybe I should say welcome to the new people anyway. I'm Roxas. I'm not sure how I can, but let me know if I can help somehow.

...oh,Axel and Xion? I know you guys are probably busy but I've got something for you. You know where to find me...and anyway I have something to ask you two. [On the roof, specifically.]

Sora you can come, too. And Ven. And...whoever. [He's got enough to share with everybody really.]

[[ooc: as a side note, currently at work and tags may be slow but I wanted to get this post up. Thanks guys!]]

Okay, so if it's that important you can tell me, right? So 'fess up!

[flaring]

My lips are sealed, man.

[perplexme]

Even though it's my birthday?

[flaring]

Hey, hey. Don't give me that look.

[THAT'S CHEATING.]

[perplexme]

There isn't a look.

[flaring]

...

[Giving Roxas a playful shove.]

[perplexme]

[Yeah, he just starts laughing and tips over a bit.] All right, all right, no more looks. They work for everybody else but me I guess.

[flaring]

[No, they work on Axel too. He's just not telling you that.]

Good, your face might get stuck like that.

[perplexme]

Would not. [A push of his own.] I still think you're just making stuff up.

[flaring]

Maybe, maybe not. [Laughs for a few seconds then turns to look down at the village.] Time flies, huh?

[perplexme]

Tell me about it. I can't believe it's been this long and things are still pretty much the same. Should we be worried?

[flaring]

Would you want anything to change?

[perplexme]

Nothing here no besides changing things that have already happened. [You know, like Xion dying. Sora's wing. Axel leaving. Xion leaving. Sora leaving. Namine leaving and never coming back. Those sort of things.] But in a way those things had to happen so we'd grow...I think.

[flaring]

[Axel stares for a moment before chuckling a bit.]

Man, you really are getting old.

[perplexme]

What's that supposed to mean?
