[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]

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.

[todomarishi]

"They"?

[of-flames.livejournal.com]

The Task Force. The guardians of good and all that around here. They're usually the ones who find the corpses in the morning.

[todomarishi]

Corpses you were responsible for?

[of-flames.livejournal.com]

Not that they can prove

Did I forget to mention that I'm part of the Task Force?

[todomarishi]

I suppose I'm not obligated to take this Task Force seriously if they allowed you to join it.

Keep away from Roxas or he will be kept away from you.

[of-flames.livejournal.com]

You do realize that for quite a long time, I was the only one of my world here, yes?

I got a dustpan with your name on it if he doesn't stab you first.

[todomarishi]

Congratulations.

I fear your dustpan won't see much use.

[of-flames.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't be the first to say it and be wrong.

[todomarishi]

Patience, Axel. Your end will come soon enough.

[of-flames.livejournal.com]

I've withstood worse than you, and didn't you know that death means nothing here? Two days, and I'll be back to life and ready to return the favour.

[todomarishi]

You don't know what I'm capable of. As far as the revival issue goes... I'll figure something out.

[of-flames.livejournal.com]

Can't say I'm too worried either. Not having a Heart pretty much stops the whole fear thing.

[todomarishi]

I wasn't aware that state of being prevented you from exercising common sense, too, but I guess that must be the case if you're trying to shoot down flying reindeer.
