[When the feed clicks on, there's a few moments of silence as Roxas thinks of how to phrase his question. He had been mulling this over for a while now, and he still wasn't any closer to getting an answer. ...man...Axel would know. Roxas really does miss the redhead sometimes, but each day's getting a little better. Sora, too, but that's an even longer process. It always helped to have something else to throw himself into though, and this was the perfect example.]

Um...hi. [Well, it's a start.] So...where I come from, birthdays aren't really something that are celebrated. Sure, we kind of get older, but nobody really acknowledges it. There's no big celebration, no presents, nothing like that. I've been here for over three years and I still don't really get it, I guess.

...anyway, there's this girl. She's a really good friend of mine, and I want to do something nice for her for her birthday. It's at the end of the week. I know that doesn't give me a lot of time, but it's really important it's something special. I guess what I'm asking is...who has a good idea? [Because he sure as hell doesn't.] Thanks in advance.

Weather's better today. Maybe I should get out of the library for a while. [Think, think, think...oh!] Hey, Luke! Wanna test out those roller blades? Get back to me, I'm bringing them outside anyway.

[And with that he's cutting off the feed. Shortly after, other villagers can find Roxas in the plaza riding on his skateboard, rollerblades thrown over his shoulder. Feel free to say hello.]

It's okay, I know what you mean. Back in my world, people kept thinking that Marta was my girlfriend too... then again, it probably didn't help that she kept telling everyone that.

...why would she tell everyone a lie?

I don't know. Girls are strange sometimes.

So I've noticed. Maybe that's what I like about Naoto...she's probably the first girl I've met that really makes sense. I mean the first girl that's not from my world.

The girls from your world actually make sense?

[That's a new one for him.]

You sound so surprised. Is it that weird?

No, I mean... well, the girls I traveled with in my world were nice, but sometimes it kind of felt like we were from different planets or something.

[... mainly because Emil just fails at girls.]
