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]

[Filtered to Xion]

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

[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.

[action]

[flaring]

[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.

[action]

[perplexme]

[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.

[action]

[flaring]

[...pfft WELL OKAY THEN.]

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

[action]

[perplexme]

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

[action]

[flaring]

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

[action]

[perplexme]

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?

[action]

[flaring]

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

[action]

[perplexme]

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

[action]

[flaring]

Not even a hint?

[action]

[perplexme]

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

[action]

[flaring]

[Following~]

Oh so we're doing that whole walking thing.

[action]

[perplexme]

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

[action]

[flaring]

Pfft, for you maybe.

[action]

[perplexme]

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

[action]

[flaring]

Deal.

[action]

[perplexme]

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

[action] latest tag ever omg

[flaring]

Corridors of course.

[action] /chews on it

[perplexme]

Let's go then. Open one?

[action] <3 lmao now in the right place

[flaring]

[He extends his arm out and summons a corridor.]

After you.

[action] ngl I think I liked it in its original spot XD

[perplexme]

[And because he has no reason not to trust Axel today, he'll be walking right through that corridor, just walking ahead and waiting for Axel to close it up so they can get to their destination.]

[action] FINE, DON'T TAKE MY HEARTS ;;

[flaring]

[Aaaand following after him~ He's not lying either because when they come out it'll be there in the battle dome]

See? Much quicker.

[action] ...can I change my mind ;;

[perplexme]

All right, all right. I guess you were right just this once. [And he's heading straight toward the simulation panel to program what he wants to program.] This might take a bit...I want to get it all just right.

[action] it's too late now (nottalking)

[flaring]

Hey I'm always right. [Wandering over there with Roxas to see what he's doing, since Axel still has no idea what he's up to.]

[action] rude :(

[perplexme]

Except for all the times you're not. [Don't rush him man. A few more adjustments annnd...] Cool, I think it's ready. Wanna go?
