Roxas

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas is not at all as brightly dressed as the other hosts, his outfit being patterned after a black jaguar. Apparently to make up for a lot of dark colors in the warm weather, the outfit leaves much of his chest and shoulders bare. Oops.

He'd be a little more comfortable with this if it weren't for the costume, but even so he has no idea what to say.

It may look a lot like stage fright actually.]

...hi. Um.

T-there's bidding, if anyone's interested.

[croceamors]

[Saix had just meant to pass by because [i]really[/i], but even has has to do a double take when he spots that familiar swirl of blond hair. Well. This certainly isn't what he was expecting coming to explore this little event.]

[Hi Roxas hope this isn't awkward oh wait he doesn't care]

I'm sure that despite all your misgivings towards the Organization, even you should realize we never decided to humiliate you in such a way.

[Just attempted murder, and some stuff he can't remember because replica memory shenanigans.]

[coolerthansora]

[He might've responded with something about the murders because yeah that kind of trumps a little embarrassment, but likewise Saix is pretty much the last person he expected to see at this festival.]

...what are you even doing here?

[Don't you hate fun?]

[croceamors]

[Wow rude- okay no it's kind of true. He does have a very strange vendetta against fun. Possibly because when you are the one sending everyone out on missions, you have to discourage it.]

Reconnaissance.

[Obviously.]

[coolerthansora]

You're doing recon on a festival.

Did you- run out of other places?

[croceamors]

[yes]

Just because it is a festival doesn't mean there's nothing to learn. Besides, I don't understand the point of it.

[coolerthansora]

The point is to have fun.

[So no wonder he doesn't get it.]

You could... try some of the games and stuff. [This is a difficult thing to imagine, so the suggestion sounds incredibly awkward.]

[croceamors]

We're trapped in an underwater prison to be used as batteries. I highgly doubt it is just for fun.

[But in response to that suggestion, Saix just reaches into his pocket and... pulls out one of those little plush goldfish it's possible to win. It looks like it's been chewed on...]

[coolerthansora]

Sure it is. They say it runs off emotions or something, right?

[Wow seriously, he won something? ... And kept it?]

...what's with the teeth marks?

[croceamors]

Then I don't see why I'm here.

[Those punches to Axel's face mean nothing.]

I gave it to a dog for a short amount of time.

[coolerthansora]

Well, there's something you're not seeing 'cause the rest of us Nobodies have been here a long time.

[Wouldn't it toss them back if they weren't useful to it?]

A dog? Why?

[croceamors]

It wanted it.

[Duh.]

[coolerthansora]

...and you care what other people want?

[ninthserenade]

<sub>[Oh jeeze this was too good of a chance to pass up. What's a festival without pestering some buddies?

But

Roxas that outfit. Roxas.]</sub>

Bidding for what?

[coolerthansora]

[C'mon, at least he's not dressed like a butterfly or something. It actually looks pretty good on him!

...or do you think he's scrawny, too?]

For- a date.

[ninthserenade]

<sub>[He's just going to sort of peek around him for a tail.

Shhh, he was dating Lea before, remember? It doesn't get much scrawnier.]</sub>

...Like the romantic sort or just anything? Wait--Is Axel okay with it?

_[DEMYX...]

[coolerthansora]

Like- however the first one is supposed to be.

[Not that he really expects it to go anywhere.]

...I don't need Axel's permission.

[ninthserenade]

Ah... Man, see, if I wasn't already dating I'd probably toss a bid in just to hang out or somethin', but if it's gotta be romantic... I kinda slipped with Lea before.

_{[Gosh Roxas, you gotta start putting your foot down!]}

Weren't you two together? Or did I miss something...?

[coolerthansora]

You don't have to bid on me to hang out, y'know.

...we're just friends. [You definitely missed something.]

[ninthserenade]

I know, but it'd be pretty nice to help you guys out 'n all that, yanno?

_{[...Oh, he did miss some things.]}

...Ah. Right...

[coolerthansora]

I'm sure everybody else'll bring in plenty.

[Totally just dropping anything about Axel.]

[ninthserenade]

C'mon, I'm sure you'll get tons of bidders!

_{[He can roll with that.]}

[coolerthansora]

I don't really think so. Maybe one or two.

[Would anyone really want to date him?]

[ninthserenade]

Hey, y'might surprise yourself!

_{[He could see it!]}

[coolerthansora]

So long as it's more than none, it's okay.
