Twenty-Eighth Keychain-[Action]

[perplexme]

[For the first time in a long while, Roxas is walking through town during the day, though a big group of shadows seems to be following him and he's moving in such a way that's not really walking, more like stalking and creeping around. His wings have grown much larger and are glowing a bright white, though the shadows are dulling them a little. If you so wish, feel free to notice him slinking through town being absolutely silent]

[Rosalie's hanging out in the shade, but her vampy senses indicate that Roxas is skulking around!]

Your wings are blinding me.

[perplexme]

[Hey, hey Rosalie wanna see a cool trick? Given that Roxas can control light, he'll turn his head to look at the direction her voice came from but the wings will dim their brightness and more shadows appear in their place]

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[She laughs.]

That's better.

[perplexme]

[He'll nod but then he stops. Hey wait, you're a new face we don't recognize. Roxas walks up to the shade where Rosalie's hanging out and while he won't say anything, he just examines her curiously]

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[What is this look? It's not the usual look men give her, anyway.]

What is it?

[perplexme]

[...he senses something. Not human? Well she looks human but there's something about her that's being given off that convinces him otherwise so he'll just blink and stare, trying to figure it out]

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[Maybe he wants her name?]

Um...Rosalie Hale?

[perplexme]

[nods in acknowledgement at this. However, he still doesn't speak and instead he bends the light enough to form five letters in front of her] R-O-X-A-S.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[She looks on confusedly. Good thing she was in a good mood, or else she would have strangled this boy already.]

Roxas?

...are you mute?

[perplexme]

[He shakes his head no, not really sure why he doesn't just talk like a normal person. Though he tilts his head again before bending more light to "speak"] W-H-A-T A-R-E Y-O-U?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[Eh? Not another weird one.

Her face darkens when she sees the light shifting. What. Not who.]

I'm a vampire. Got a problem with that?

[perplexme]

[He smirks lightly, simply because he was right, she wasn't human. Her energy was much different. But he shakes his head again, nope, no problem here. He allows the light to shift again to speak for him (sorry if this starts getting old)] I S-E-E. N-O-T B-A-D.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[Her expression softens.]

Sorry. I'm a bit defensive.

How do you sense these things, anyway? I can only sense fellow vampires, and you certainly aren't one.

[perplexme]

[He pauses again, trying to decide how the best way to approach this was. Trying to explain that he was a Nobody would mean he'd have to explain what a Nobody was and then he'd have to explain about Heartless and Sora and that would just get too complex.] I-M S-O-M-E-O-N-E F-R-O-M T-H-E D-A-R-K.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[She raises her eyebrows.]

Same here.

[perplexme]

E-X-A-C-T-L-Y. [Once again he's just examining her, making a mental note to ask Aros about vampires and their energy the next time he sees the Heartless. Though because of the embodiment, the stare's coming off a lot creepier than it should]

[crownwielding.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, hey. Sora hasn't seen you for awhile. So he'll just slink on over. ]

Hey, Roxas!

[perplexme]

[Roxas turns his head, just giving Sora a blank stare as the shadows follow after him]

[crownwielding.livejournal.com]

[ Well, that's creepy. But it's still not enough to deter Sora. So he's pretty much following after the shadows that are following Roxas. You can't ignore him forever. ]

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

...yes?

[perplexme]

I W-I-L-L E-X-P-L-A-I-N A-N-O-T-H-E-R T-I-M-E. [with that, Roxas walks out of the shade and bows his head, shadows following him as he starts walking away]

[perplexme]

[Roxas stops walking once he notices that Sora's following and he turns his head again. He stares again, still blank and silent waiting to see if Sora will say anything]

[crownwielding.livejournal.com]

[ Well, Sora, he can't stand silence for too long. And after a long moment of blank staring he's had enough. ]

So, uh. Your wings! They look different.

[ Yeah, kind of lame. But that's all he can come up with at the moment. ]

[perplexme]

...[just nods and flaps his wings once, practically blinding Sora with the sudden change from darkness to light]

[crownwielding.livejournal.com]

[ Now that isn't very nice. Blinding it is, and Sora moves shield his eyes with his arm. Still light seeps in through the cracks, and it takes him a moment to get the spots out of his eyes. ]

Hey, what was that for!
