perplexme | Fifty-Ninth Keychain

Okay...since Axel seems to think it's a bad idea to try and teach the cat to ice skate, let me ask all of you a question. A friend and I are thinking about starting a business. It's something really good, promise.

Think about this. You have an important item but suddenly you can't find it. You think it might have even been stolen. So who would you call? The police, sure, but what about detectives?

[The camera's soon going to get a view of the front cover of a detective novel he picked up from the library.]

Even if it's not something a lot of people would use, I bet at least one person could use a few detectives around here, so I'm volunteering myself and Naoto Shirogane. Need a mystery to be solved? Call us. We all know weird stuff happens around here all the time...just look at last week.

[And with that being said, he's going to wander through KH house to see if Axel's home. He's had a few discussions with the older boy involving another certain bff and a certain redhead replica. And so there's a few minutes' pause before the next bit filters through.]

[Filtered to Luke]

Hey. Axel and I want to talk to you at Fourteen. Come over.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I don't think we've thought of a name yet. [Hey it's cool, Roxas is pretty used to it at this point.] Any suggestions?

If it's your agency, you should be the one to name it. What's your selling point?

Solving mysteries and stopping crimes. What other selling point would a detective agency have?

Well said. However, the world is a judgmental place. You need both presence and presentation if you want your business to get around.

That's what we've got Rise for, I guess. That's what Naoto said anyway.

And trust me, I know. I don't need the reminder of how judgy the world is.

Rise is in your group too?

It would be great if people didn't always use physical appearance as a basis for interaction, right? Still, that's a surprising line coming from you.

...wait what's that supposed to mean?

... Ventus?

[...oh.]

...Roxas.

Ah... My apologies.

It's okay...you're not the first one, trust me. Sorry to disappoint.

So...who are you?

Call me Loki. I live with Minako Arisato, so I see Ventus over sometimes.

[Ohhh. That makes sense. He laughs a little though, if only because he has his own thoughts on Ven and Minako.] Nice to meet you, Loki. I bet you see him around a lot actually.

They seem to be close friends. Ahh, what they do is none of my business, though. They're too energetic for me.

You're more of a laid-back kind of person?

I appreciate peace. It's a surprisingly hard thing to come by sometimes.

Heh. Not that surprising, considering where we are. I don't think the Malnosso are that into peace.

There are times when I think our lives might be more peaceful than theirs. "Ignorance is bliss," as they say.

Yeah? ...do you really believe that? That ignorance is bliss? [Mostly because when he was left in the dark it really drove him crazy.]

No. But there isn't much I can do about it from here, so I've decided not to stress over it.

That's probably for the best.

...how long have you been here anyway?

This will be my seventh month. Why?

Just curious, that's all. I usually keep track of how long everyone I've talked to has been here.

That's quite the task. It's only fair if I ask you the same question, right?

A little, yeah. I've got it all on a piece of paper somewhere just for a reference.

Me? ...it's been a little over three years.
