Day 55: Courtyard [4th Shift]

Mar 23, 2011 13:13

Talking with friends usually put Anise in a better mood, but the subjects that she, Guy, and Tear covered at lunch were so heavy that Anise couldn't help but feel weighed down afterward. It was hard to think and talk about the terrible things that came about from her lies. She wasn't going to cry, not now, but she felt like she needed a little ( Read more... )

It seemed that Sora's luck with the club had only been increasing as the day had gone by. First shift had been a no, second a maybe, and third a yes! While Rapunzel hadn't agreed to come along for tonight, she was planning to try it out next time, which was more than enough for Sora. The boy knew that there was no guarantee that she would stick with the club for good, but he tended to set his hopes pretty high ( ... )

Roxas's stomach was empty and hurt and was currently grumbling at him despite all he tried to do to assure it. The smells of the cafeteria trailed after him, the pleasant greasy smell of chicken rubbing in his face. Maybe it was dumb that he hadn't eaten that pink stuff, but he was still pretty sure he didn't want to put it in his mouth. Sure, the Nobody's experience with food was pretty limited to what Landel's had served (and the occasional Fried Nomura nights in the Organization), he still didn't want to eat something that looked like slime and was the color of Marluxia's hair.

That thought made him shudder.

Though his stomach pains weren't completely forgotten as his soldier helped shove him into a big black coat (his hat still didn't fall off), they certainly were when the door outside opened and he was greeted with his first eyeful of -

Snow, he thought. Snow. He had never seen it before, but he knew exactly what it was. Even in the memories that were disconnected from himself, Roxas didn't recall ever seeing it. It was like ( ... )

When Sora heard the sounds of someone running through the snow to come meet him, he quickly glanced up, expecting to see Kairi or Tsubaki or Scott. Instead, it turned out to be Roxas, who was just as welcome as any of the other names who had popped into his head. Maybe even more so, seeing how they were -- in a way -- one and the same. He grinned by way of greeting, waving at the boy with his free hand while the other clutched onto the small snowball ( ... )

"A snowball?" This was just going to keep happening, wasn't it? Someone saying something to him and expecting him to know what they meant... at the very least, he didn't mind so much with Sora. There was always this feeling of rightness when he was with him that it was hard to be embarrassed or weirded out or anything like that. Besides, Sora would understand why Roxas was confused, right? So it wouldn't be like he just looked dumb.

Roxas stared at the snowball for a moment before he went back to Sora's face with his own full of perplexity. "Are you going -" his stomach growled loudly, making him pause for a second to sigh, "to eat it or something?" Okay, so part of the blame for that question could go to the fact that it was really hard to think about anything besides food, but part of it also came from the fact that Roxas was thinking that it... looked pretty edible, really. He wasn't sure why that came to mind, but he figured it was a relatively safe feeling. It's not like he got urges to eat grass or other inedible things ( ... )

It was a question that Sora had probably had to ask at one point himself, and so even though it was kind of odd that his Other asked him if the snow was edible, Sora didn't laugh at him or anything. The truth of the matter was that Roxas had just never seen this stuff before, so it was no surprise that it had to be explained, right ( ... )

Barricades... right. Right! The Nobody could actually picture it: little white heaps of snow, rounded and shaped by the signs of obvious hand prints patting every inched of them. A snowball fight. He actually grinned at the idea, watching coyly out of the corner of his eyes to see if any of the soldiers were watching him -

Er. The answer was yes. And they didn't look particularly thrilled about anything, though he didn't know if that was was just them or it was because of his rank or because he was with Sora or whatever. Or maybe they could read his thoughts.

"It sounds fun, at least. I've never been in one, but I don't think they'd like it if we tried." Maybe the snow didn't actually make the best ball considering how easy it fell apart. The Nobody bent to pick his own handful of snow up, curving his fingers like he'd seen Sora do, packing it as tightly as he could as it crunched under his gloves. "Does it help if you do it harder?"

From the looks of it, Roxas wished that they could have a snowball fight too. But both of them realized that that wasn't going to be possible, and so Sora figured that they should just abandon the idea before they got too excited over it. It was sad, how they were limited in what they could do during the day, but it was always too dangerous to try anything at night. Not to mention the fact that they had better things to be doing ( ... )

Oh, he could see Sora's point. He'd put a lot of arm strength into packing the little ball together and once he removed his top hand the whole thing split apart into two neat parts. He dumped it all on the ground, brushing his gloves together to get the remnants of the powder off. He didn't want to give the soldiers any ideas, anyway.

"A snowman?" he asked, looking up from his hands. They were cold now, the fingertips kind of losing their feeling a bit, and his cheeks were red and cold, just like his ears. Why couldn't he have a cap or something? (Did they have caps?) The coat was warm, but the rest of him really wasn't! Even his feet were getting cold, but at least the snow stayed out of them pretty well. Cold and wet wasn't exactly working out well for his hair, anyway.

"Um... I think I've heard of it. It's kind of like..." he held his arms out, leveling his hand right next to his head. "This high, right? And they're like giant snowballs?" Why did he know this? He'd never seen snow before, but once Sora had popped the question ( ... )

Oh, it seemed like Roxas' attempt at making a snowball had also failed. Sora pouted for a moment, even though it didn't really matter. Besides, if the weather stayed like this then they were going to have all sorts of opportunities to practice. It had never really been warm here at Landel's in the first place, but this was definitely the coldest that he had ever seen it ( ... )
