[dualkeys]

Summary: Roxas arrives and things aren't to his liking.
Warnings: Derpy kid and some minor breaking of things.



Graveyard

[ if he had known what this place is and what it's meant for, there might be some dim irony. a Nobody in a place for the dead, someone that doesn't even exist lingering amongst empty tombs. this honestly isn't the most ideal of situations. Roxas had been on his way back to keep a promise. now he's stuck in some place that he can't get out of. he's tried. OH MAN has he tried.

but he can't get anywhere. can't leave. that, along with everything else, just puts him right back in a bad mood. so what does he do? he takes his frustration out on his surroundings. just repeatedly beating one of his Keyblades against the wall of a mausoleum.

after a while Roxas throws the Keyblade down and starts to struggle with trying to get that collar off. ]



Cafeteria - later

[ when Roxas finds the cafeteria, he just kind of sits there. unsure about what to do. his mental state is simply drained. kid can't process this much going on in one day, right? heck, Roxas isn't even sure what this place IS. but don't mind him. he is just watching the people around him. it looks like a place to eat...

cue zombie mode. ]

Comments

[Xion frowns, though it's more thoughtful - and perhaps a bit worried - than anything.]

There are a lot of different floors in the Tower. You have to be really careful. Some of them... [She thinks of the floor she and Sora and Axel fell into when Axel had arrived here] some of them aren't anywhere you want to go, and plenty are dangerous. But some of the others are safe.

I've been here a while, so I know where most of the safe ones are.

[At some point, her fingers had curled around the hand he'd been holding, so she was holding it back. She takes a few steps, still holding his hand, an indication that she can lead him to one of those safe floors, if he'll let her.]

[ welp. he gives that some thought. ]

It's okay. We're both here now, right? It'll be fine.

[ and he really does believe that. two thirds of them are together. maybe he can't keep his promise, but if they're all together, does that really matter? at the very least, Roxas is more at ease. ]

Go where you want. I'm just happy to see you.

[Xion glances back, a little surprised. Had... something been happening back home? Had he just come from the time she'd been on the run from the Organization, or when she'd been avoiding the Clock Tower for a while? The earlier comment he'd made - about her being "okay" seems to indicate the former...

Of course, there was a third option, but she doesn't want to consider that yet. Regardless, it seems finding out when he was from would be rather important.

She frowns. They could take the stairs, but that would mean passing some floors that might dump them into dangerous situations. Literally. So instead she raises her hand to make a corridor down to Floor 38.

Once they get there, she leads him to a couch over by the window.]

I know it's not the Clock Tower but... it's still a good place to hang out.

[There was a place like the Clock Tower, she'd found, but it too was outside. Here at least they were a bit warmer...]

[dualkeys]

[ he just keeps looking around. you know how Roxas is. man, he is still just so okay with things at the moment. confused, but when is he not? life is complicated. friendship isn't. ]

You think the Clock Tower could even fit in here?
