[Action / Video] Day 94 - That Foolish Me

[notquiteanobody]

[Hi Ruby City. Take a look at that. The video image you're seeing is in one of the resting rooms of the clinic. Seems like someone's been out of the loop for awhile considering the indistinguishable groaning and grumbling that the microphone's picking up. Finally, the image somewhat jerkily pans around before a pretty beaten-looking Roxas comes

[Celty...
Could it be that Celty? Needlessly saving people, that sounded like her style. Only one way to find out~]

Wah! Celty-san is here? It can't be!

Ne! Ne! maybe you can tell me. It won't be too hard to tell if it's her or not. Not many headless people around.

[His voice carries a playful air, but behind it, there is something darker]

[Video]

[notquiteanobody]

[This was curious... someone from Celty's world? The voice sounds friendly enough, but something in his gut seems like it's trying to tell him that something's not quite right here. Still, he'd already mentioned she was around, so no sense in trying to back out of that.]

She's around in the city, if you're asking that.

[It's times like this that he's glad that his encounters with the dullahan have always been on neutral ground and that he had no idea what her living accommodations were.

If she contacted him though, he should make sure sure knows that someone from her world seems to be looking for her.]

Who's this?

[i_love_humans]

[Already some warning bells around him? It's fine, he's dealt with people who didn't like him at first. He can take his time. Anyways, all humans would love him one day]

So Celty-san is here... Looks like things are a little more interesting...

[The playful attitude didn't disappear, but it relaxed into something less bubbly]

Izaya Orihara. Information broker.

[Video]

[notquiteanobody]

[Okay, this is definitely one to keep an eye on. Granted, they seemed friendly enough, but something about someone that bubbly just struck him as odd. And he'd been around enough Nobodies to have seen a wide variety of emotions over-acted, something he'd associated with his former compatriots... many of whom, he wouldn't trust father than he could drop a Thundaga from.]

Nice to meet you then.

So what's an information broker do? I mean, is it as simple as the name implies?

Vid and I was hoping you'd post soon <3

[wingblades_wind]

You look like me... [Blink. Blink.]

OH! You must be Roxas. Everyone keeps mistaking me as you.

[Video] Yeah, it's been a little busy. But it's good to finally tag with ya.

[notquiteanobody]

[Wait a minute, he knows that face and that voice. But... didn't he disappear? He remembers Aqua being pretty worked up over that. Honestly, he'd been a little bummed out too because he'd just been getting to know him at the time.

So he's going to stop and think for a moment before replying. The way he responded said it wasn't the same Ven he'd known... but it was still Ven. Man this multi-world stuff got infinitely more complicated when time got involved.

Oh well. Video reply with a kind of sheepish, awkward grin.]

Yeah, I could see that. Especially with all the downtime I've had lately. I'm guessing you don't remember me, but it's nice to meet you again, Ven.

Thanks. I can't wait to log these two derps sometime!

[wingblades_wind]

[Ven will be happy to get to know Roxas though. The derp is way to friendly for his own good right now, and it's not been tempered even a fraction by travels other worlds and fighting Unversed and meeting Vanitas ect. And nothing bad's happened just yet...]

You were hurt? But this world doesn't seem that dangerous... [:(]

Be looking forward to it. Poor Roxas didn't get to know the last Ven too well.

[notquiteanobody]

[Conversely, Roxas has not only been through all his troubles, but actually comes from another city like this inbetween. So while he's trying not to dwell too much on all that has gone wrong for him, he's a little more reserved with his optimism sometimes.

Oh well, this will be a chance to make up for not getting to know Ven as well last time he'd been in the city. In fact, aside from knowing that he and Aqua were friends, he really knew nothing about him.

Not to mention there was the mystery of why they looked so alike.]

It's usually not, but every so often, things happen. Were you here when the world was turning all strange?

[Video]

[notquiteanobody]

[That's right... Larxene is in the city. And now Axel was missing... he'd actually hoped she'd been spirited off with the rest of them. Suddenly, he finds himself somewhere between modestly nervous and modestly peeved.]

You're still here?

[Ooops... maybe should've kept that response quiet.]

[Video]

[notquiteanobody]

[Oh yes, the look he's getting tells him that he really should've kept that part quiet.]

Well I mean, I thought you'd just jump at a chance to get out of here.

[Trying to back out of this...]

[Xion had happened to forget her watch back where she had been currently staying. That place being... Well, it wasn't exactly her old home there in the city. She wasn't even yet sure where that was. But it wasn't like she really stayed in one place for long around there anyway at the moment, constantly trying to explore, trying to remind herself. Piece herself back together. Day by day, she had become more and more certain that there really were memories she had been missing. And day by day, things had slowly clicked, linked up. And she was becoming more and more confident, day by day, that everything else would line up the more time she spent out and about

[notquiteanobody]

[Entertainment while bed-ridden seemed only to come in the form of the network today, so he'd more or less contented his interests for now to looking at what he'd missed either while moping. Hopefully, he'd be able to get a hold of Emil, Tenebrae or... well, Lucia would be smart enough to pick out a book for him if he asked for something to read. Well, maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea. She'd probably drool on it.

Still, the sudden knock on the door was something to raise his curiosity. It was a small clinic and he figured that the residents here had already checked up on him. But then, this was the first time in awhile that he was actually feeling up to being awake for more than a handful of minutes... maybe one of them even saw his post and decided to check up on him. If nothing, he still did have to say thanks for patching him up last time too.

Or maybe it was another friend in the area. With only one way left to find out, he propped himself up against the headboard and just yelled.]

It's open!

[Xion had been pretty set in backing off after even only a few seconds passed, pretty certain that she was just getting her hopes up and hearing things because of that. She had already taken a step or two back right afterward. But then she heard that shout. And that? That was definitely... Without a doubt....

She reached out for the doorknob, clutching it tightly. And then, after a hesitance. After pondering a myriad of reasons, she finally found herself slowly opening it, a solid creak signaling her entrance if not for the step or so she took into the room, very well in sight... and very well seeing the sight of him as well. She stood there, stock still. Staring at him from under her hood. And for a moment, she had forgotten how to breathe.]

....R-Roxas?

[Action]

[notquiteanobody]

[She wasn't the only one to freeze. Glancing at the door, he'd expected maybe Naoki, Emil, Conan or perhaps Hungary. Instead for a moment he just stared as that familiar hooded figure walked into the room. It was like seeing a ghost. And all at once he found himself crashed upon by so many different and in some cases, entirely conflicting feelings that he didn't know how to respond

[Text - Locked]

[tsundullahan]

[She's glad to hear that he's all right, definitely. But then her mood turns somewhat sour as she's seen Izaya's caught the message as well. Well, it was only inevitable, but still...]

[[How are you feeling?]]

[Text - Locked]

[notquiteanobody]

I'm doing a lot better now, thanks. I would've been finished back there if you hadn't pulled me out.

[Now's his chance to check into those mental warning alarms that the other person from her world.

Actually, wait a second... Celty was headless? Maybe his head had been jarred around once too many, but somehow that detail confused him. But it did explain why she only texted.]

I think someone from your world is here and they're looking for you. Do you know who they are?

[Text - Locked]

[tsundullahan]

[[Glad to be able to help. You don't have to do things alone, you know.]]

[She pauses before typing her response to the question. Ah, how to word this.]

[[His name is Orihara Izaya. Please be careful around him.]]

[i_love_humans]

OOC: Oh, Celty, already warning people about him. So mean.
