Fifty-Eighth Keychain - [Voice/Action]

[perplexme]

[Housemates will probably find Roxas in the kitchen with newspapers on the table, a palate of paint, some paper...and a very disgruntled cat who doesn't understand why his human wants him to dip his pretty paws in the wet colors.]

Nea, come on. You were doing really well, too. You can't just give up now.

[There's a hiss from the cat before he swats at the paint palate. Roxas sighs and shakes his head, giving up for now. Artists can be pretty temperamental, after all. Instead he'll focus himself on the journal, opening it up and idly leafing through it. His conversation with Naoto's been on his mind, and he has an important question.]

So...what's the main difference between being a boy and being a girl? I mean, girls can do things boys can, right? So what difference does it make? [He doesn't quite get why people were upset with Naoto for being a girl detective, that's all.] Answer me that.

And answer me this: how come everyone else got a horse last week except for me? Total bummer.

[Filtered to Axel]

I've got something cool to show you, but you have to go to the battle dome with me.

[Filtered to Xion]

Do you need anything? [He's worried about you, bff dos. He's in overprotective mode now.]

[perplexme]

Nice to meet you, too. Been here long?

FFFF and I noticed nothing

[perplexme]

That's one way, yeah. But I've wanted to go swimming on the shore and look, too.

voice

[perplexme]

I've got my own fighting style.

[voice]

[perplexme]

Then you work harder to break the barrier. That's a minor detail.

voice;

[perplexme]

Thanks for the approval. I knew you seemed like a pretty reasonable guy.

[perplexme]

Tell me about it. [Sigh. He gets that.]

There has to be a way to still pull ahead though.

[voice]

[squaring.livejournal.com]

Huh... since the end of July, I think? Nowhere near as long as some people. How about you?

[voice]

[perplexme]

Just a little over three years. I kind of don't like telling people...seems pretty anti-climatic to me.

[mistyarc.livejournal.com]

. . . There would be no point in disagreeing with logic, would there.

[He's not reasonable at all, what are you talking about, Roxas, you're just sensible.]

[projectiled.livejournal.com]

It takes a lot of hard work and determination but it may be possible. [ she shrugs. ] If I can spread my influence else where while I'm here about being powerful, it could change someone's view on women.

voice;

[perplexme]

I guess I'm just used to some people arguing with me, that's all. It's not anything new.

[perplexme]

You've got time. People will listen...they have to.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

I wasn't okay with the idea of being kidnapped here, but finding my way around.. well, you learn after a while. Compared to being held captive here finding your way is not a big deal.

[voice]

[squaring.livejournal.com]

Three... [Oh, wow. That's a lot more than anyone else he's met!]

I can see why you wouldn't want to bring something like that up... Sorry.

[action]

[flaring]

Deal.

[projectiled.livejournal.com]

People listen sooner or later, most of the times when it's too late. It usually takes some life changing experience like being saved by a girl or something, which is bullshit.

voice;

[mistyarc.livejournal.com]

. . . I see.

[What does this boy argue on a daily basis, then?]

voice

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah?

[This is relevant to her interests, oh yes.]

[ voice ]

[perplexme]

...yeah, that's one way to look at it that I didn't think about. I guess I've just gotten so used to it.

[voice]

[perplexme]

Oh, no I mean...I don't mind, but it makes everything sound even more hopeless. Does that make sense?

[action]

[perplexme]

...what's the faster way of getting there?

[perplexme]

Still, it's a start. Maybe it doesn't have to be being saved by a girl. Maybe you should put on a demonstration or something.

voice;

[perplexme]

But it's not like it's my fault. Some people just don't understand that research is necessary and that it's not obsession.

...that's not the point though. The point is, you're smart and so I can trust your answers. So...thanks for that.

voice

[perplexme]

Yeah. I guess I could show you sometime, but I try not to show off much.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

Gotten used to 'it'? What do you mean.. used to the way things were back home for you?
