Fifty-Third Keychain - [Voice/Action]

[perplex_me]

[Roxas is not stupid. Let's just make that clear. He's a bit of a derp, yes, but he's not stupid and he's been keeping track of the days. Valentine's Day is very soon, and he knows that that usually means the Malnosso do everything they can to mess with them on the holiday

[Axel was out doing Axel-things when he returns home to find Roxas hanging paper hearts everywhere. Y'know this isn't the correct way to be making Kingdom Hearts, Roxas.]

What's with the hearts?

[perplex_me]

[But Kingdom Hearts is light and...and paper is light? D:?]

Valentine's Day's on Monday. Did you know that?

[flared]

Can't say I've been paying that close attention.

[Sorry but he's plucking down one of the hearts.]

[perplex_me]

You'd be surprised. [But that's his hard work!] Hey! What're you doing?

[voice]

[lists_to_port]

What mean you by "real love stories," boy?

[voice]

[perplex_me]

Stories about people you actually know versus made-up stories. I could find a lot of fairy tales in the library, but I'm curious about what love's like on other people's worlds.

[lists_to_port]

Knew a lad once what married a girl he could only see every ten years.

[It's the saddest story about love that Sparrow knows.]

[voice]

[perplex_me]

[That's just enough of a tagline to ping Roxas' interests.] Why could he only see her every ten years? Why did they get married if that was a problem?

action - they had to meet sooner or later in person B)

[risingwinds]

[Hey, it's Roxas! And not only is it Roxas, it's Roxas carrying... paper and cookies? This is of utmost importance!

...besides, he needs to stick close to people.]

Hey, Roxas!

action - ...omg I never realize they hadn't yet XD but yay!

[perplex_me]

[It's truly an unusual sight to see Roxas carrying paper and cookies. He's not going to mind the interruption though, especially when he's the one that went on about Ven needing to stick close to people.]

Hey. [...man, looking at...well, yourself kind of never gets old. At least he's not hostile about it now.] Where you headed out to?

action - it's crazy how they haven't, really!

[risingwinds]

I'm not sure.

[He shrugs, looking around.]

I'm just trying to stay close to other people right now. Don't wanna let my guard down or anything.

action - but at least now we've fixed it :D

[perplex_me]

Being in the middle of town is probably the best way to be close. You haven't heard anything from Vanitas lately, have you?

[voice]

[vanityunbcoming]

Love's overrated. The emotions that come out of it, though, aren't.

[ooc: Also, thank you for getting this song stuck in my head.]

[voice]

[perplex_me]

[YOU. He knows he shouldn't ask, and he probably really should just walk away from it but..] How do you figure? [Was it the same theory as with the Nobodies?]

[ooc: ...fffff. Great. And now it's in mine, thanks Zan XD]

[voice]

[vanityunbcoming]

[Been a while since he's 'checked in' on you, Roxas.]

Because. Those fairy-tale stories that make love into some all-powerful force? None of that exists in reality.

[ooc: S'what I'm here for. 83]

[voice]

[perplex_me]

[And he liked it that way, thanks very much.]

So says you. I've seen it, I just don't get it.

[lostinmyway]

I think love is always being with your friends, so that they're never lonely or sad.

[perplex_me]

Someone once told me that love is a little bit different than that, but...I mean you gotta have your reasons, right? Why do you say that?

[lostinmyway]

Well, if someone is your friend, then you want them to be happy. That means staying by their side, in the good times and the bad.

[perplex_me]

You've got that right. So wanting someone else to be happy counts as loving them, basically. Right?
