[There’s a long pause and some hesitant breathing before a teenage boy speaks. Maybe he’s too confused to speak at first. Maybe he knows he’s not supposed to interact with people in other worlds. Maybe he’s just really shy.]

I’m not supposed to be here. I have to get back or I’m going to be in trouble. I’m probably going to be in trouble anyway.

It's called the City-

Hooray for unintentional good timing

"Lexaeus?" Roxas' eyes grew even wider. "Lexaeus is here? How? I thought they all got wiped out at Castle Oblivion!"

This place...what was with this place? Even the worlds with talking furniture and genies and bossy satyrs were normal compared to here. "I don't understand this world," he said. "I do want to go back. Me and Axel just finished having ice cream and Xemnas says they won't notice we're gone, but I'll notice."

Hooray~ Also, I just loled at 'bossy satyrs'.

"Well, yeah, but that's what the City can do. It makes dead people alive again. That's how I'm here. I've met a couple other dead people here, too." He said this conversationally, not realizing that Roxas didn't know that he was dead. He knew he was from earlier in time than he was, but it was something that he was used to now.

"When you're here, time doesn't pass back home. I don't know how, but it's true. So yeah, it could be a long time for us, but they won't notice. But hey, look on the bright side, no missions!"

It's truuuuue

[binarysky]

"How you're here?" Roxas didn't understand that. Demyx had been just fine the last time he'd seen him, and he couldn't imagine him allowing himself to get into a tough enough fight that he could die. Either way, he didn't like the idea.

"I guess...that's good, that he can be here again. Because we're still comrades, right?" He sighed. "No missions, really? But what do you do with all the time?"

[sitaronthewater]

"Yeah, when the-" Oh. Okay, he remembered now. He was pretty far behind the times. Maybe he shouldn't mention the kid now? Probably not. After all, the reason why he died was because he was trying to get Roxas back. Maybe if he mentioned it, it would trigger something that he didn't want. "There was a really bad mission."

He grinned a wide grin. "Yeah! I work in a music store, and I talk to people- they're really nice here. And oh! Roxas, guess what? I'm in a band now! With my sitar."

[binarysky]

It must have been a really bad mission. Maybe he and Demyx weren't friends like he and Axel and Xion were, but Roxas still didn't like the sound of that. But Demyx seemed to be handling it okay...

"Really? Xemnas lets you?" He blinked in surprise. "What about the Organization?"
