perplexme | Fifty-Eighth Keychain

[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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Battle dome. You up for it now?

You bet. You already there?

Actually I'm out in the kitchen. Nea and I are in the middle of a lesson.

...you're not trying to teach the cat to skateboard in the kitchen are you.

Of course not, don't be dumb. I'm trying to teach him how to paint.

[CAN YOU HEAR THAT, ROXAS? IT IS THE SOUND OF THE BIGGEST FACEPALM EVER.]

Riiight. I'll be out there in a sec.

[HE'S CLOSE TO BEING THE NEXT PICASSO OKAY.]

See you then. [Back to focusing on N-HEY DON'T STEP ON THE TABLE WITH PAINT.]

[Pops into the kitchen a moment later. But he just has to stop and stare at Roxas for a moment. Roxas you are the weirdest best friend ever.

But he still likes you so that's okay.]

[When Nea sees Axel, he lets out a pitiful meow. Redhair reasonable owner, please help. Ktnx.

Roxas though is busy trying to put paper down everywhere the cat steps so that he paints on them.]

Oh hey. Let me just wrap this up and we can go.

[Sorry, Nea, isn't much he can do at this point. Maybe he'll try and hide you in his room later. :|]

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if that cat clawed you one of these days.

[That'd help. Roxas just shrugs and...more or less shoves everything to the side. THERE. CLEAN.]

He will not. Nea and I have a better understanding than that.

[...pfft WELL OKAY THEN.]

Well, I guess this is better than you staying in your room all day doing "research".

Are you happy? I'm being a normal teenager today. [And he just. Sounds so proud of himself too.]

I don't know how many normal teenagers try to get their cats to paint but, yeah, I am.

It's a start though. [He reaches up to pet the cat behind the ears.] Okay, you're free to go. [And Nea meows before jumping off the table and darting toward Kairi's room.]

Are you ready?

Yup. So what's this cool thing you're showing me anyway?

We have to go to the battle dome, and I'm not telling you what it is. It's a surprise. Got it?

Not even a hint?

Nope. You never give me hints. [And heading out of the house!]

[Following~]

Oh so we're doing that whole walking thing.

It makes the whole suspense thing better, don't you think?

Pfft, for you maybe.

I promise, if you don't like it I'll get you all the ice cream you want.

Deal.

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