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.

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

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

Uh... to be honest, it's more likely you'd get a spoon or something that you thought was a horse.

I don't think I would have tried riding a spoon.

[...actually...] Then again, I saw some really weird stuff last week. Too many guys in dresses that wouldn't come off, and a friend of mine kept getting followed by animals.

Oh, I ran into someone like that too! [Now that he thinks about it, he kinda sounded like this guy... but a lot higher. Huh.]

I guess he was supposed to be Snow White? Though... I think I might've just made things harder for him.

Let me ask you something, but don't think it's weird. [He's tilting the journal so the camera's pointed at his face.] ...did he look like me?

[What. Whaaaaat.] ... Eh, sorry, but I kinda have to think it's weird?

Are you two twins, maybe?

Not exactly. It's a really long story, but we get that a lot. Different people. He's like, ten years older anyway.

Eh... ten? No matter how I look at it, something like that doesn't really seem possible.

There's a lot of things here in Luceti that don't seem possible, but they are. You can ask Ven yourself.

Ah... so Ven's his name? We were both a bit busy [making idiots of ourselves.] with the experiment, so I didn't really catch it.

Uh huh, Ventus. He's Ventus, I'm Roxas, and you are...?

Ah, I'm Aoba Kuronuma. It's nice to meet you, Roxas-kun! [Oh man, that's not too informal is it?]

Nice to meet you, too. Been here long?

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

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

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.

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

Yeah... I can see where you're coming from. Still, since you've been here so long, isn't the fact you're still doing well a little encouraging?

You're an optimist, aren't you?

Ah, I just think it's best to stay positive! ... I get really nervous if I don't, to be honest.

Nervous? Why?

Eh... I guess I focus too much on everything that could go wrong and end up unnerving myself...?

...okay that makes sense. We could always use some more positive enthusiasts around here anyway though.

... Yeah! It's not like being pessimistic will help anyone in this situation.

It just makes people a little smarter to be cautious, that's all.

Mm... but being too cautious can make you distrust those that can help you, don't you think?
