[He exhales sharply from the cold and anyone listening the post can hear scraping in the background, then a grunt.]

There. That's better. The view's even nicer from up here.

[Roxas sighs.]

I wonder how he celebrates Christmas on his island. I think he'd actually want snow for once.

[A pause, and then a faint sound as he sits.]

I wonder if he misses it too.



[ooc: feel free to notice the small kid making a snowman with what little snow he can find on a rooftop]

Roxas.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

...Yeah?

[todomarishi]

Where are you?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Look out the window and up across the street.

[todomarishi]

... Stay there for a minute.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

...What are you doing?

[todomarishi]

When I arrived here, I didn't understand what purpose this world had in mind for me... Now I do. I'll be at your side in a moment. Don't move.

[of-flames.livejournal.com]

That would be my partner, you know.

[todomarishi]

I don't think so.

[of-flames.livejournal.com]

I know so. Try again. Find your own. This one is mine.

[todomarishi]

Wishful thinking won't sustain your empty existence, Axel, and I have no intentions of allowing you to turn the young wielder into a reindeer murderer.

[of-flames.livejournal.com]

Another would-be hero. Do you know how many I've dealt with that sound just like you?

I've outlasted them all.

[todomarishi]

I could say the same of you. How many with your name passed through that place? Ten? Fifteen? You were all the same: fire and wheels with no honor to speak of.

Go near the boy again and you'll regret it. That's the only warning I care to give.

[of-flames.livejournal.com]

That place isn't here, and I've been the only one for well on a year now.

Roxas is mine, end of story. Unlike you, I've played this game before, and I'm not going to throw a useless threat at you. Roxas is a lot like fire. You try to pen him in and dictate his actions, and he's going to hate you. That does the work for me right there.

[todomarishi]

Good to know.

You don't own him and you never will. He is beyond your ability to keep. Besides, his safety is my only concern at this point. Even if he doesn't particularly like me, at least he'll be safe.

[of-flames.livejournal.com]

Now, see, there you're stepping over the line. You try to keep Roxas prisoner or against his will, and they'll pick up what's left of you wish a whisk broom and dustpan.

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Purpose? What are you talking about?

[todomarishi]

Keeping you out of and away from trouble, Roxas. That's what I'm talking about.

Apparently I can't leave for even an hour to go get ice cream :|

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

If you don't want trouble, you won't get involved. I told you to keep away from the Castle and away from Axel.

Boys will be boys? :)

[todomarishi]

I can handle trouble. It's you I'm worried about.

More like girls if we want to talk about dustpans and brooms. >8|

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Then I think you need to start opening up about who you are. You want to protect me, sure, but I don't know anything about you.

Hey, he brought up the dustpans. I'm all for manly subjects. D8

[todomarishi]

I want to... I'm obligated to protect you because you're a fellow wielder. Wielders of the Keyblade look out for one another.

Manly subjects? Like what?

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

Fellow... Okay, back up. You said you knew me, knew of me, yeah?

... Being in a desert for ten years.

[todomarishi]

Yes, that's right.

Girls can be in a desert for ten years. Try again. :|

[onlytwilight.livejournal.com]

How much of me do you know?
