[There is a general spirited undercurrent noise of gathered mingling people in the background, Link or Shiek or someone playing on The Lux's piano.]
[Private to Roxas]
Well, it looks like you're running a little late, but so far everything's going fine. I think she was really surprised, when she came in...should have thought to record it, but maybe someone else did.

Hey. Lets do that thing we were planning at the other place tonight.

It's a better day than last night, all in all, and that gossip newspaper is what I keep hearing about, but that's kind of silly and disgusting and I don't really care, but if that other bar place is really postering the walls with it instead of panties, it just goes to show how desperate that Matt person is for any shocker that'll catch people's attention.
[And from the dismissive snort emerges a brighter sound of smugness.]
In fact, if you're anywhere out there except for The Lux right now, a good question would be, why aren't you here?
Oh, and at least be sure to say Happy Birthday to Eileen, if you aren't.
[Private to Self]
Speaking of good questions, I've got a couple...
It's not spread back to here yet...but that's what 'twilight' is like, growing in the middle of the city, isn't it?
And what happened to him last night, Roxas? I hope he explains it, and I'm worried that Axel's got even more to be sneaky about than he lets on. What did Terra mean too, that it wasn't the first time?
I'm glad I've got this thing, to put down memories in. That way, even if anything ever takes them away from my heart, or tries changing things into a lie, I'll have it all recorded down here, so it is handy, after all.
Something else Important to Remember: Roxas' birthday is September 22nd.
[ooc: We're at Eileen's surprise birthday party, as planned here! Feel free to come up to Riqis for a chat, he'll be propped up on one of the front window seats with some food in his lap, staring down the street towards the central square.]
