some time later, from up above... euchres January 16 2011, 19:05:12 UTC

[ ... you can hear the usual Izaya noises. Maniacal laughter, the clashing and clanking of those anti-suicide bots: it's all there. Lizardmen invasions will never take these bare essentials away from Cydonia.

Only this time, there's a splash just outside that window Roxas is near. A shout pierces the atmosphere -- "CLEAR!" ... about a minute too late. Soap is everywhere now, leaking in through the broken windows, crawling down the tower walls, and cascading over the lizardmen who try with all their might to keep their grip on the slippery surface.

Maidbots to the rescue! They whirr down the sides and in the aftermath of their appearance, a very familiar, fur-ruffed coat whips over the broken glass on the sill. Two hands, each with their own gleaming silver ring, clasp over it and, soon enough, there's a leering grin peeking in from outside to complete the picture. ]

Ahhh. Home sweet home.

Gtfo, Izaya, Roxas is making ice sculptures. :B key_destination January 16 2011, 19:14:24 UTC

[There's no "Welcome back~" for you, Izaya. Instead, Roxas just stares back as if he has just seen a pig fly; slightly unamused yet somewhat in awe.]

I sent you a text. Where's your communicator? [One of the electrocuted lizards starts to get up slowly, but with an upward swing of the keyblade, a jolt of electricity shoots from the ceiling and stops its movement again.]

And what was all that about?

OUT OF LIZARDS?! :O euchres January 16 2011, 19:25:03 UTC

[ The emotion Izaya is trying to pass off here is probably 'perturbed', but really, he looks like he's having a grand old time swinging from a ledge with a lizard-infested six-story drop below his dazzling designer boots. ]

What's with the interrogation? I haven't even gotten inside yet!

There's an endless supply outside. :la key_destination January 16 2011, 19:34:33 UTC

Does it matter? We can't waste time! [Yes, Roxas is in MISSION mode.]

I have to go hunt down Sora-- gotta make sure he hasn't gotten himself killed while I've been running around. After that, I'm heading out to find the source.

There were plenty, thanks. Now it's just a matter of holding the things off.

[Text | Private] key_destination January 16 2011, 23:41:25 UTC

And we just got to wait for SAMM to fix things, right?

[Text | Private] soggypastry January 16 2011, 23:52:05 UTC

Unless you know how to fix a hole in the barrier that we can't even find.

[Text | Private] key_destination January 16 2011, 23:55:38 UTC

I might be able to find it. I'm good at tracking things down.

[ As the video feed clicks on Sora can be seen carrying a heavy, jagged chunk of scrap that he'd managed to find on the floor, tossed over his shoulder much like one might carry a baseball bat. ]

I'm fine, but thanks for the offer!

[ He heaves a great breath, letting out a call that could only be described as a battle cry as his makeshift club comes down on the head of one of the monsters trying to make their way through the windows.

key_destination January 17 2011, 00:42:38 UTC

[Roxas watches and is generally amused by the little show, but there's a seriousness in his tone that clearly hints he's partially concerned.]

Look, I know that we're both not as strong when we're without the keyblade, but I still have magic. [And now he just teases.] So you're going to take the keyblade whether you like it or not. Got it?

genuine_key January 17 2011, 08:42:29 UTC

[ Sora closes his eyes and rolls them, speaking just as playfully in turn. ]

What? Are you my Mother?

[ Shaking his head, chucking at his own joke, he drops the humor and takes Roxas' words seriously. ]

You might as well keep it. I doubt I'm any where near you.

key_destination January 17 2011, 17:05:40 UTC

[Roxas rolls his eyes, but the grin doesn't leave his face.]

Heh, you'd be surprised. Meet you in...30 seconds. [And click! The feed is off and Roxas is already working on a dark corridor close to Sora, but far enough away so he can't see the end portal. Once he switches locations, he walks around a corner or two and spots Sora.]

Or less than that.

Thread 22

[The audio clicks on he's pretty much yelling as he continues to fight. Roxas isn't the only one defending their "home," but unlike him, the silver-haired teen isn't able to heal himself, and he needs to constantly make sure that Dende is safe and OUT OF THE WAY. If that little guy knew that Gokudera was fighting and could get hurt, he'd never be able to shake him off]

Idiot! I always have it with me! I think this place can handle a little as long as the hits are dead-on!!

[Audio] key_destination January 17 2011, 04:07:42 UTC

Ugh, fine. Whatever. Have you at least seen Sora around? [A pause.] And where's Dende? I sent him a text.

Re: [Audio] bakudan_shounen January 17 2011, 04:12:56 UTC

Who?

Well, he can't read, you fucktard. He's safe.

[Audio] key_destination January 17 2011, 04:18:37 UTC

Oh, I guess you haven't- Sora. He's got brown hair, blue eyes, and big yellow shoes. Seen him around?

[INSERT EXASPERATED SIGH HERE.] Like I was supposed to know that.

[Dende stared at his text... just stared at it. Well he couldn't read... but he did know how to send one back]

Q QQQQ QQ

[despite the situation he enjoyed picking out the prettiest letter to send back to whoever that was...]

[Audio] key_destination January 17 2011, 04:37:52 UTC

[And now that Roxas has the time to turn on his audio, there's a relieved sigh.]

Dende! Are you okay? Where are you?

Re: [Audio] holy_pickle January 17 2011, 04:44:25 UTC

I-I'm f-f-flying above th-the city! D-do y-y-you know where Gokudera is? I-I have to f-find him a-and make sure h-he's okay!

[Audio] key_destination January 17 2011, 04:49:48 UTC

Whoa! Hey- don't cry! I just talked to Gokudera and he's perfectly fine. [Thinking fast.] But he's using a lot of dynamite right now, so it would be a bad idea to get close to him. How long can you fly, Dende?
