Fifty-Ninth Keychain - [Voice]

[perplexme]

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.

Well yes but... [She's just not used to it, that's all. For most of her life, only her grandfather has been known to do things like this, not her friends since... she didn't exactly have any for sixteen years.]

[action]

[perplexme]

...but what, Naoto? [Come on, share. :(]

[action]

[fortuneprince]

[Flustering] It's nothing.

[action]

[perplexme]

Naoto. You're choosing now to keep secrets from me?

[action]

[fortuneprince]

N-No! It's just... [Sigh] I'm not used to people doing things such as this for me.

[action]

[perplexme]

I guess I just don't really count as people.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

What do you mean?

[action]

[perplexme]

Never mind. [He just keeps walking.] Get used to it though. A lot of us here like you.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

[Roxas you should know better. :| Never tell Naoto 'never mind' because it'll just keep bugging her. So she's just going to grab your jacket sleeve but keep walking] Tell me what you meant.

[action]

[perplexme]

I'm half a person. Maybe that makes me an exception around here.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

[ ...She let's go and stuffs her hand back in her pocket] Don't be stupid. You are a whole person. [--To her, but she won't add that part] But you are an exception.

[action]

[perplexme]

I guess I'm just getting used to it, that's all. It's dumb but it's still something to remember. No matter what happens here, when I go back it's back to merging with Sora.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

It isn't dumb. [She falls silent after that though. She doesn't want to think about Roxas going home or even merging with Sora, but now the thoughts there and she's frowning]

[action]

[perplexme]

...think about it this way. It hasn't happened so far, so it probably won't happen for a while.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

Right. [She won't let them take you away anyways] Ah--I apologize. I didn't mean to go off our original topic.

[action]

[perplexme]

Somehow we do that a lot...have you ever noticed that? It's not a bad thing, it's just a thing that happens.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

Hm... I suppose we do. [She nods and chuckles lightly]

[action]

[perplexme]

Do you do this with other people too?

[action]

[fortuneprince]

Go off topic like that?

[action]

[perplexme]

Yeah, exactly. Do you?

[action]

[fortuneprince]

[She gives that some thought] No, I don't believe I do it all that often with other people. On the rare occasion I do. [She likes to stay on topic]

[action]

[perplexme]

...what do you think that says about us anyway?

[action]

[fortuneprince]

Perhaps that we... seek more information from the topic at hand?

[action]

[perplexme]

...I guess that makes sense, yeah. It's not that weird.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

Not at all.
