Thirty-Fifth Keychain-[Written/Action for Axel]

[perplexme]

[Private]
344 days. 21 more days before one year. Am I a different person than I was a year ago? Am I even a person here? I'm still part of Sora, but in a different place, can a person be a person without a heart?

I don't even have anyone I can ask without hearing the same answer; "You're not Sora, you're Roxas". I know that. To the Organization, I'm number XIII.

Xemnas is gone. Xigbar's actually trying to keep the Organization together, but for what purpose? It's useless to fight Sora, he already defeated all of them. Kingdom Hearts doesn't exist here, so what's left?

It was easier to be here without the Organization, without Olette even. I never had to explain things I didn't know how to really explain, and I was the same to every single person except for Sora, Riku, and Kairi.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be better if Aros was still here. He didn't talk a lot, but he got it. He completely understood.

When I was first born, my journal entries during my time in Never Was were very short and simple; "Today I did this. I completed this mission and then me and Axel met at the tower to eat ice cream." Suddenly they're much longer now.

Axel finally returned. He seems to be all right, but he's been sleeping a lot since he came back. He didn't seem injured, just tired. He's been sleeping almost straight through the past few days. I've been sitting on his bed reading. He wanted me to stay and so I did because best friends do what their best friends ask.

Kairi's gone though. Kidnapped, not gone. Sora and Riku are trying to find her but she's been missing for about a week. Maybe she'll be back soon. It seems that the Malnosso do a trade. Return one, take another.

Riku says I should "butt out" and let Sora and himself take care of it. Because Kairi's their friend and not mine. Because I'm not Sora and I'm not helpful. Because they don't need me. I don't know if he's right or wrong.

The sun hasn't been as bright as it should be.

It's been quiet lately, hasn't it? August is almost over, shouldn't people be out more?

[Is awake for the most part, but he's still there in bed with his eyes closed.]

You think too loud.

[Action]

[perplexme]

What makes you say that?

[Action]

[flaring]

You're over there writing something. And I can hear you thinking about whatever it is you're writing. Got it memorized?

[Action]

[perplexme]

So tell me then, what is it that I'm thinking?

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

I think people are waiting for the leaves to change color!

[perplexme]

The leaves to change color?

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

Autumn. It'll cool off more, and people will be more likely to go outside!

[perplexme]

I guess that makes sense.

[Voice]

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

I think people should. They should enjoy what's left of the summer.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

[Don't mind his quiet tone, Axel's still sleeping in the same room after all] Exactly. What have you been doing to enjoy it then, Bella?

[Voice]

[outofplaceklutz.livejournal.com]

I've been spending a lot of time reading outside. Either by the lake or in one of the fields. It's a little more humid here then Arizona, but I still like it.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

Arizona?

One a the reasons'm throwin' a birthday party in the first place!

[Voice]

[perplexme]

...birthday party?

[Voice]

[inuzuri.livejournal.com]

Yeah, wrote about it in the journal a couple days ago... Anyone with a journal'n wings's invited, so if ya wanna come just so things ain't so quiet, no problem.

[Voice]

[perplexme]

What exactly do you do though?

[Written]

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

Maybe it has something to do with the unusual what was it called? New Feather cycle?

[Written]

[perplexme]

It could, but you would think with all of the new feathers, people would be more vocal about how strange it is. It's possible though.

[Written]

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

Perhaps people are just feeling a little uncomfortable, and don't want to talk. A change to the I hope I'm saying this right cycle is really rare, right?

[Written]

[knightofratatosk]

I'd like to go swimming in the lake once I'm feeling better... maybe you could come with me.

[Written]

[perplexme]

That wouldn't be a bad idea. Sounds like a plan.

...

When you're feeling better? What's wrong?

[Written]

[knightofratatosk]

I was just sick, that's all. I'm doing much better now, but I probably shouldn't go swimming just yet.

[sevenyearsgone.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. Before we know it'll be winter. I wonder if it snows here during the winter?

[perplexme]

Last winter it snowed a lot. It was pretty cold but at least it was interesting to look at. People made snowmen and everything.

[sevenyearsgone.livejournal.com]

Really? Awesome. Winter's fun it its own way, too, I guess... but it's not exactly the best for swimming or picnics or stuff like that.
