Thirty-first Keychain-[Action]

[perplexme]

[If anybody's looking at the window of room 23 in building three, they'll see a bright flash of light before it goes dark again. Coming out into the rain late at night there's a figure walking away from the building through the center of town, hood of his black cloak up and dragging Oblivion behind him. It's assumed that while resting, Roxas could still be aware of what was going on, so he's completely on guard. He's on a mission right now, but he's walking pretty slow anyway. A lot spiraled this past week and he's ready for a fight if he has to. Feel free to find him walking through town.]

Yes. I remember your name, too. You spelled it out for me.

[perplexme]

Heh. [Yeah, that'll earn you a slight smile Rosalie, really] I think it's a lot easier now that I can, you know, talk for myself.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[Glad I could be of service.:|b]

It definitely is. So can you now tell me what you couldn't before?

[perplexme]

Do you actually remember what it was?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

I don't forget anything. My memory's infallible.

[perplexme]

Sorry for being a little skeptical, but can you prove it? [At least he's honest and hey, in his line of work and the people he knows, you can't be too careful]

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[She raises an eyebrow.] Do you think I'm particularly forgetful or something?

*mun goes to check the thread because her memory is fail, unlike Rose's*

[perplexme]

No it's not that. I'm just cautious I guess.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

Are you thinking that I'm not who I say I am?

[She smirks and then relays what happened word for word to Roxas.]

[perplexme]

No, I still believe you're a vampire.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

Why are you being so cautious, then? [/is becoming annoyed.]

[perplexme]

Because there are people here I don't trust, that's all. You're obviously not one of them though, so I can trust you, I guess.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[Huh.] Right. So what are you doing walking around in the middle of the night?

[perplexme]

I just got back to town, thought I'd make my rounds.

And you? Why are you out here?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

I'm bored.

And you still haven't explained to me how you're "from the dark".

[perplexme]

I'm half a person. I'm...the dark side of the heart, I guess you could say.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[This reminded her of someone she met when was first brought to Luceti. Namine called herself a Nobody. But she's gone now. Perhaps this was a similar case?]

Have you heard of something called a "Nobody"?

[perplexme]

...[raises an eyebrow. She's smart. Very smart.] Who told you about them?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

A girl named Namine, but she's not here anymore.

[perplexme]

...I didn't realize Naminé told anybody. But yeah. She's a Nobody...so am I, and so are a majority of the people I don't trust here.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

There are more of you people here? Are they all spouting nonsense about how they're not supposed to exist?

[A pause.]

You don't trust your own kind?

[perplexme]

It's a long story. You don't trust every single vampire you meet, do you?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

No, but I make an effort to form relationships with most of the ones I know. Otherwise it would be a pretty lonely life.

[perplexme]

It's hard to have relationships with people who keep manipulating you.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[Silence.]

I guess that's not very pleasant.
