asgardeventide | [video]/open for freya

[ His curse may have ended a couple of days ago but between the impromptu camping trip and needing some downtime, it's only now that Roxas manages to get to cleaning up his room because someone told him he should collect flowers for everyone. Which is what he did. Almost a full room of them in fact--and without the knowledge that flowers generally die without water he just left them on his floor.

It is now a huge, shrivelled mess he is having to clean up--they are literally everywhere. So today's video feed starts with him standing in his room with several garbage bags and flower remains just everywhere. ]

Does anyone know if there's like...some giant compost or anything we can use if we've got a lot of stuff that could go in it? All I could see are garbage bins and there's kind of a lotta stuff here... [ THANKS ARTHUR. ]

--Oh. And um...I guess. Sorry if I worried anyone a while back. I was cursed and couldn't really think that straight. I'm all better now though! Uh...yeah.

[ And then the feed ends and he'll get back to dragging these giant bags of dried-out flowers down out to the front of Freya's Welcome House until he can figure out what to do to them! ]

[ ooc; feel free to run into him anywhere in Freya c: his room will be open while he cleans up, so! ]

I knew it! Next time I see him, he's toast.

[ Shoot-- ]

Sora, just leave it! I can handle Vanitas myself okay?? I don't need any help.

[He shakes his head.]

No way! Anyone who hurts my friends has to deal with me too!

I don't need you to look after me--I owe him one and I'm gonna do it myself.

Do you know how to fight?

I'm been re-learning...and I remembered a little bit about that. I'll be fine.

You can't fight him alone, he'll cream you! You need someone else with you!

Sora, just... It's my problem okay? I can do it.

[Sora is really frustrated. He steps closer, begging him not to try it.]

He could kill you, Roxas. You can't go alone!

Just because you're my Somebody doesn't mean I need your help all the time...!

[ He blurts it out without even thinking, swinging an arm out and looking to the side once he realizes what he's said. ]

[Frozen in shock, he stares right at Roxas. There are so many thoughts flying around his head. He doesn't want to see Roxas lose his memories again and he doesn't want to lose his friendship. Before he can address either of these worries, Sora needs to know who told him.]

Who told you that?

--It's not important. [ He doesn't need to accidentally out someone else by accident too. Riku may or may not mind, but...

Having said it out loud, finally, leaves him with an uneasiness in the pit of his stomach. ]

[Suddenly cleaning up isn't so important and he drops everything in his hands. Keeping his mind clear enough to form a response is difficult, but he manages.]

You're not just a Nobody though. You're Roxas... You're my friend.

[ Roxas wishes he could do the same. It feels like his throat's constricting when he hears what Sora has to say, and he can't even look at him. Riku's assurance or not there's still just a small part of him that worried--thought that maybe...it was all just because he was Sora's Nobody, when he found out. It'd explain why Sora was so nice to him, acted like they were friends... ]

It's because I'm yours though, right? Your...Nobody?

Yeah, you're my Nobody. But you're still you. I think you've always been you.

[This is the first time Sora's ever felt sad while talking about Nobodies. Before they were just heartless killers. Now things are different.]

I've always been...me? But--isn't everything about me from you...?

Maybe at first, but you had to make your own decisions. I don't have any of your memories. We're different people.

...Trust me. There wasn't a whole lot of "you" in me at first. [ He was just a blank slate with a whole lot of nothing going on in his head. It wasn't until all of Sora's memories started filtering in--from his time in Twilight Town--that he really started to feel like someone else. ]

It doesn't look like there's much of me in you now.

[Sora's trying to be funny but he's also serious. They may look similar, but they differ in personality and behavior. It's very clear to him now that Roxas is his own person.]

[ Well yeah Roxas could always tell there were different--he was more serious, Sora was a dork and just so overly kind to everyone--but he'd always figured at the root of it all...whatever he was, was because of Sora. His thoughts, his feelings. Everything he had was based off of what Sora had. That's what Namine had told him.

So now he hesitates a bit, caught between looking surprised and more than a little unsure ]

There's not...?

We have different memories, right? It's because we've been through different things.

[This is something he's sure of. He can only hope he can assure Roxas too.]

We're two different people.

...And what about you being my Somebody. You said--when you first arrived... "I got out." Are you taking me back?

I think where you are right now is good.

You--do?

Did you think I would make you? What kind of guy do you think I am?
