Has anyone seen Roxas lately? 

Axel, Xion, Is he with you?

Comments

[madcuriosity]

Ah... I've not met a Roxas, but I can look for him, Mr. Sora.

[keyofthesky]

Thanks, Alice.

He looks kinda like me, but has blond hair... But make sure he's not my friend Ventus instead, who looks just like him.

[madcuriosity]

How would I tell them apart?

[keyofthesky]

Good question. Hmm.

I guess you should just ask them if he's Ven or Roxas.

[madcuriosity]

They shan't think it rude?

[keyofthesky]

Nah, they'll understand

[madcuriosity]

Oh then I shall help look for them!

( permavoice. )

[firagas]

... No. He's not.

Likewise

[keyofthesky]

[Okay, he's actually surprised Axel just.. replied.]

Have you seen him at all lately?

[firagas]

He... ( his hesitation should be indication enough that he doesn't like sharing these things, sora ) ... had something to take care of.

[keyofthesky]

[He really doesn't want to press Axel if it makes him uncomfortable, yet at the same time, the way Axel is acting is making him worry more]

Axel... if--

If there's something you know...

[firagas]

You know, I'm kind of surprised he didn't fill you in to begin with. What with how chummy you two were getting, and all.

( avoiding the question? who's doing that? )

[keyofthesky]

Axel, please!

&locked

[firagas]

Last I saw him, he said he had business with the boss. ( leaving out that whole 'got my ass kicked' part, okay... )

[permalock]

[keyofthesky]

You mean Xemnas?!

What if something happened to him! What if he got hurt, or worse!

[firagas]

You think I don't know that?!

[keyofthesky]

N-no.

We have to do something, Axel!

[whodoyousee]

...You can't find him either?

[that would be a 'no,' from a very unhappy Xion.]

[keyofthesky]

Where could he be?

[whodoyousee]

I don't know... I feel like I've looked everywhere.

[keyofthesky]

He has to be somewhere.

[whodoyousee]

I know, but... [she really has looked everywhere]

[keyofthesky]

We'll find him.

[whodoyousee]

[She sucks in a breath before nodding, looking stubborn.] Yeah.

[They have to, or... she's not sure what she'll do.]

[keyofthesky]

... You...

You gonna be okay, Xion?

[whodoyousee]

[there's a long silence, and there is totally not a stifled sniffle on her end.]

Yea. I'll be ok.

[keyofthesky]

We're friends, right? If you need someone to talk to I'm here.

[whodoyousee]

[no she'll just... go search some more. and then mope on the beach later.]

Ok.

[keyofthesky]

[Nooooo, Soras don't mope D:]

Uh. O-okay.

[permavoice]

[pullstringcowboy]

Roxas has gone missing?

Re: [permavoice]

[keyofthesky]

Yeah, he has. It's been a while.

[pullstringcowboy]

Oh Sora. Hey now, don't worry, maybe he'll come back.

Let's not assume the worse just yet.

[clumsyjesus]

Roxas? Hmm....I don't think I've met a person who goes by that name.

What does he look like? Maybe I can help!

[keyofthesky]

He looks kinda like me, but with blond hair. And of you see someone like that, make sure to ask them if they're Ven or Roxas.

Sorry this is late, orz.

[clumsyjesus]

If they're Ven or Roxas? Does Roxas have a twin?

[halfdarkened]

I haven't seen him either.

Private to Riku

[keyofthesky]

Riku. I...

I think Xemnas did something.

Private to Sora

[halfdarkened]

[Pause] You might be...

[Another pause.] I'll... Keep a look out. Strange things happen here.
