Yes, I'm back. No, I didn't die. I didn't leave the city. It doesn't matter now, but if anyone could tell me what all happened these past few days...other than those dark monsters...I'd be grateful

It's like I told you, before those monsters you didn't miss much. Just me and Prince, looking around for you and Yuffie.

Are you gonna tell me now, or what? What did Marluxia want with you, anyway?

She did decide on Solstice Day? I thought she was still thinking about- um, well...if you're going to see her today, can you do me a big favor?

[Private]

[onlytwilight]

Yeah, but you don't read half of the posts people make.

Marluxia? What are you talking about? What does any of that have to do with Marluxia?

She told me she liked it. If she changed it, I'll just give her gift to her on Christmas. So long as no gods mess it up.

...Sure, what?

[Private]

[myownmemory]

Hey, I read the important ones! Most of the ones I can see! Unless it's people talking to certain friends, or being ridiculous. I can't just nose over what everybody says everywhere! I've got work to do like getting wood and checking the rambit traps and stuff- Oh! Oh by the way. They've gotten nastier.

Wait...Marluxia took you to the castle, right?

My first Christmas...Did you see that note on the board? I don't know who put it up, but it's a big list asking for what things you want.

Can you bring her something from me? And don't tell her it is, unless she guesses.

[Private]

[onlytwilight]

But the ones you look at aren't the same as the ones I do. And I'm not nosy!

No. Who said that?

Oh, really? Maybe I'll look at it. I'm not sure what I'd even want.

Riqis, you're going to have to see her, sooner or later. That, or you...I don't know. You can't avoid her forever.

[Private]

[myownmemory]

Well guess what, I'm not you! I didn't say that, just that I don't have the time to read everything.

...I...[because he really doesn't want to mention that he's been talkin' to You-Know-Who] Well I just figured. Marluxia'd be the one to be up to something fishy.

You don't know? You could ask for more ice cream? Or...more fireworks! Or for the gods to fix Chez Nobody.

I know. Someday. But I'm not ready for that yet. I'm not the person she needs me to be, Riku's got it all covered. And she doesn't want to see me jealous, or trying to protect her too much. I don't know how to make things right. Even if I say sorry, I know I'll just mess it all up with her again the minute I feel anything. She can always tell.

[onlytwilight]

Geez, Riqis.

No, I didn't even see Marluxia when I was there. I don't think I interest him.

Fireworks? That's something you'd want.

I'm so sick of the fighting and the arguing over who's better. No one's better. ...Fine, fine. I'm staying out of this. I'm just sick of it. I'll take your gift to her.

[Private]

[myownmemory]

Hey, I'm sorry, I told you what I know, okay?

You...you mean he isn't interested in the keyblade? Then who-

You liked the fireworks too!

Roxas, I'm trying not to fight, to stay out of it...to let her be the person she wants. I'm trying. I'm sick of making her upset too. You think I like having her mad at me one minute, almost crying the next? I can't handle that! I don't know what to do! So I'm just going to let her be.

...She's in okay hands, with Riku.

Thanks.

[Private]

[onlytwilight]

It's okay, don't worry about it.

They're all interested in the Keyblade. But Marluxia didn't touch me.

I know I did!

I know, I know. I just... I don't like seeing you upset either, Riqis.

No problem.

Re: [Private]

[myownmemory]

Then....then who-?

What do you want, then? You could just ask for clothes. Lots of people were asking for clothes. Or a new keychain for your keyblade.

I'm not upset. I am upset, but- It's not anything I can help. Just a feeling. Maybe it will go away.

I'll leave it on the chair in the room, okay?

[Private]

[onlytwilight]

None of your business. You shouldn't be roping yourself in with them anyway. You'll just want to kill them for it.

Maybe.

Riqis...

Okay, I'll take it. Maybe Terra wants me to take his too.

[Private]

[myownmemory]

If they deserve it.

...what.

Terra's giving her something too? I thought they weren't exactly friends anymore.

[Private]

[onlytwilight]

No.

I don't know if they're friends. It's not my business.

[Private]

[myownmemory]

I miss Yuffie.

[Private]

[onlytwilight]

I know. I'm sorry.

Re: [Private]

[myownmemory]

I boxed up her stuff today, for the lost and found room.

...found a lot of what I'm pretty sure was other people's stuff, too.

[Private]

[onlytwilight]

Great. Maybe we should look through and use what we can, and return the obvious.
