Sixty-Third Keychain - [Voice]

Four years, huh? That's a surprise. Makes me wonder if it's a blessing, or a curse. [There's a long pause in speech as Roxas continues scribbling out words on another sheet of paper. In the background, a cat meows and soon jumps on the table, stepping over the journal. Said-cat's paws may or may not be covered in paint, and said-cat may decide to lay down right on top of Roxas' notes.]

...Nea. I can't keep working if you don't move. [His only response is another meow. Nea's clearly a disgruntled cat.] ...man, you sound just like everyone else. I do not work too much. [And he's pushing at the cat to get back to his notes.]

So...what's your favorite flavor of ice cream? And what kind of songs do you like? Does anyone even know about writing songs? These...may or may not be related.

Hey, Ven. Come over sometime, I think I've got a plan you'll like.

[Because why shouldn't Luceti have an ice cream game to play?]

Hey, we can try working out that songwriting thing together! It can't be too hard.

[Heh.]

Anyway, I'll be there in a sec!

Yeah, that's actually what I wanted to show you. I'll see you when you get here.

[Ice cream and songs? Together? Which should she get to first?!]

Yotsuba is good at songs, and ice cream! I'm the best at ice cream! It's really yummy, delicious! Don't eat too much, you get tummy aches like that. Can there be a song about ice cream?!

My favourite ice cream...would have to be Sea salt ice cream. I also liked that song Sebastian composed for Ariel a lot!

But, Roxas, what are you doing?

Then that's all the more reason for me to pick up the pace! See you soon, Roxas.

[And, indeed, he will be there relatively quickly... and probably panting by the time he knocks on the door.]

Four-? Holy shit, Roxas-kun.

[He's going to take his time to head to the door, and when he opens said-door he's still got a pad of paper in one hand and the pencil tucked behind his ear.]

What'd you do, sprint here?

[He can't help it. He's amused...sort of weirded out, but mostly amused.] That's what we're hoping to do. What kind of ice cream should the song be about?

And I wonder why that is. [Heh. No surprises from this one.]

Ven told me about this machine from a world he's been to. It sounded pretty cool, so I want to see if we can make something like it.

Yeah...I know. And I've never even had a chance to leave. [Everyone else has though.] It's weird, isn't it?

Lots and lots of different ice cream! Ahem... The strawberry is good~♫ And so is the vanilla~♫ Banana is the best~♫ Mint is okay~♫

[That was meant to be her shot at a song about ice cream. The tune doesn't vary much between lines and it seems pretty clear she just made it up on the spot.]
