[Roxas is rubbing his eye as he clicks on the video.]
Guys, don't look up if you go outside today. Even if it seems like the, uh, rain is done, it could come back. And these things can hurt.
They're good, though. [He pops another one into his mouth and chews it with a thoughtful crunch, zoning out slightly before refocusing on his communicator.]
But I think some of them aren't good for you. I had one before and got all these weird pictures in my head—it was like a city, but not real, because it sort of...folded up. That was cool, but I'm pretty sure candy's not supposed to make that happen.
Just be careful, okay?

What—this again? Hey, deities, can you let us know ahead of time when we're going to have guests? I'd have done my shopping earlier if I'd known.
[Roxas sounds more resigned than annoyed. Although he is a little annoyed.]
Sora, Demyx—I'm gonna be late getting groceries for dinner tonight. The streets are really crowded. Again.

You guys have it all wrong. People aren't born because of men and women doing...that. They're born when someone sticks a Keyblade into their heart to free it and makes a couple of new people without hearts as a result. They don't even need diapers.
[pause]
At least, that's how I was born.

You know...I really don't get people sometimes. I was in the store earlier buying some ice cream, and these ladies in the freezer section were talking about how they were "totally breaking their new year's resolutions" by buying their fudge ripple.
Except new year's just happened. It hasn't even been two weeks! I didn't even know that was something people were supposed to do…does everyone make a resolutuion? Is that normal? I never thought about it. I guess this is the second year I've had the chance to make one, but I wasn't thinking about that kind of thing last year.
Seems early enough I could still make one, but if everyone just breaks them, I'm not going t bother.

Dec. 19th, 2011 10:02 pmSo I have kind of a problem. Well, maybe not a big problem...worse things have happened.
[His voice sounds louder and then quieter as he speaks, the result of pacing across the room as his communicator sits on the desk.]
Something happened to me and it changed a few things about me. And now I'm not sure what to do.
[The audio feed abruptly switches to video, but a shadow obscures the camera for a moment until the cat's paw (for that is what the shadow is) pulls away to reveal a little gray kitten, looking intently into the camera.
It seems that Roxas has been turned into a cat! Could some foul magic have done this? Another curse?]
Riku! Get off of that!
[...or not. He sweeps the kitten away and picks up the communicator, looking exasperated.]
I told you, buttons aren't toys...uh, anyway. My problem is I don't know much about Christmas. This thing that happened made me think I'd celebrated it before, but I haven't. I know everyone here is from a lot of different places, and it's not a big deal to all of you, but I want to get it right.
What are the most important parts of it? [He's going to take notes.]

Nov. 27th, 2011 11:01 pm[ The first sound is an explosion, a large one; in reality, it's the ignition of a Firaga spell, but for the two boys reliving this memory, it's a self-immolating attack, one that should come from the heart.]
You're...fading away...
[It's Roxas' voice saying the words, but at this moment, he sounds very much like Sora.]
Well, that's what happens when you put your whole being into an attack. You know what I mean? Not that Nobodies actually HAVE beings...right? Anyway, I digress. Go, find Kairi. Oh, almost forgot... Sorry for what I did to her.
[And this is Sora, a mix of self-deprecating humor and regret evident in his tone.]
When we find her, you can tell her that yourself.
[Stubborn and certain.]
Think I'll pass. My heart just wouldn't be in it, you know? Haven't got one.
Axel, what were you trying to do?
[There's sadness on both ends now, but a mutual acceptance as well. The end is near, but not without purpose.]
I wanted to see Roxas. He was the only one I liked. He made me feel...like I had a heart. It's kind of funny... You make me feel the same.
[And then there's only silence. Neither boy moves.]
[ooc: this scene, with Roxas as Sora and Sora as Axel, a follow-up to this post.]

Nov. 10th, 2011 12:30 pm[At first there's just the sound of ambient outdoor noise, quickly followed by several snickers.]
Okay...is there some kind of laughter curse today? Because I don't get what everyone thinks is so funny.
[Then there's a pause, a gasp, and a sound remarkably like a teenager dashing into the bushes. Because one has.]
Can someone please bring me some pants?

Oct. 26th, 2011 10:30 pmSo...is this going to stop anytime soon? It's getting kind of old.
[And Roxas sounds kind of bored. Creepy living puppets aren't much bothered by other monsters and the slaying of them.]
It's hard to move like this.
[But then, sounding rather distracted.]
Did you know that people make really interesting faces when they're sleeping?
Really interesting.
I've been watching.

Oct. 9th, 2011 09:17 pm[Residents of the City who happen to be checking out the network around this time will hear a very loud **thump** as a teenage boy suddenly lands where there was no teenage boy a moment ago.]
Oof...what?
[There are a few moments of silence and shuffling as Roxas feels around to make sure he's solid. He's as surprised to be as he is surprised to be here in particular.]
I'm just me again...
[There's a swift intake of breath as he spots the communication device. When he speaks again, it's something others are meant to hear.]
Hey, City. I'm back. I don't know how long it's been...but it feels like a long time.
My name is Roxas. I guess I should say "it's nice to meet you" if I didn't know you before.
[A brief pause.]
...Sora? Are you still here?
Oof...what?

You know, I don't think this curse is so bad. I never thought about flying before--never even dreamed of it--but it's kind of cool! I-whoops
[That last word is slightly more distant and followed by a soft thump as Roxas loses grip on his communicator and it lands on the floor. After a few moments of awkward silence, he calls out, hoping the mic will pick it up.]
Does anyone know how to get down?

[There's a rustling sound before anyone speaks, as if they're fidgeting and not sure they have to do this.]
Did anyone else wake up...not themselves today?
[It sounds like Sora. If he turns on the video, it'll look like Sora.
But it's not. It's Roxas.]

swapskyWhat is wrong with people today? They keep...dancing? I don't know. Something like that.
Someone danced right into me, and they didn't even apologize. It was kind of...
It was weird, okay?
[ooc: if anyone wants to claim the position of bumping-into-creeper, feel free! Otherwise it remains a Person Unknown.]

Oh, great. Like the City hasn't been crazy enough this week, now all these people are back?
[There's the sound of him shoving his way through a crowd. Jumping the fourth wall seems to require a lot of pushiness.]
Ugh. I don't even know why I came outside today.

[It's late Friday night, a little before midnight. Quite close to midnight, actually. Someone's restless.]
This whole thing with the harpies got me to think. Has anyone ever--
Huh?
[Roxas' train of thought is apparently derailed by the appearance of someone offscreen.]
"RIIIIKU! Where'd you go? Okay, you won, now come back! This isn't funny! No fair, I can't run as fast as you!"
[And whatever Roxas was going to say is lost as his jaw falls open. Perhaps automatically, perhaps coincidentally, the camera swings around to reveal Sora.
At five years old.]
