so about that flyer...

[thalassino]

[ there's a bit of a commotion tonight, and many locals are talking about something happening up on the island. anyone curious enough to check it out would first notice a glowing shore to match a starry sky; it seems to be a type of jellyfish causing this.

immediately afterward they would undoubtedly see a very large boat having apparently docked itself on the shore. there's no captain in sight and it appears to be completely inoperable, so it's a full-blown mystery on how it arrived on the shore. it certainly doesn't look like a normal boat though— probably due to the fact that it is utterly decked out for a party.

there are streamers, balloons, and a whole lot of glitter on deck. there's even a large banner that reads:

☆ HAVE FUN!!! ☆

on deck there are speakers blasting a nautical-style party music should dancing be your thing. nearby there's plenty of good food for the eating, along with a gratuitous amount of chapagne (with a non-alcoholic brand for the underage); a champagne tower can also be seen. party games are encouraged, and a few are even already set up (such as the large whale-themed piñata).

have fun, mingle, and enjoy the party! ]

[Well, Riku's a pretty big jerk, so she doesn't blame him--

Ahem. That is, she follows his gaze for a moment when he looks back out, contemplating silently. There were probably a few people she wouldn't be able to get along with at all--but all in all, she's impressed with herself for keeping her nose out of trouble for this long. It helps that the Coral hadn't brought anyone like Ikutsuki, she supposes.

Hm, but she simply shrugs.]

...How 'bout your friends? I assume you met up by now.

[coolerthansora]

[At that Roxas smiles and nods.]

I saw Axel down by the beach.

[tsundyne]

Oh, yeah?

[Man, it's been ages since she's seen him. She doesn't really know why, but it is a big nostalgic, hearing his name--

She should definitely head over and see him later, if he's still around.]

He never struck me as much of a water person. [By which of course, she means, she's seen what he can do...

But then, she supposes you don't have to be swimming to enjoy the beach; especially not when it looks like that.]

[coolerthansora]

He kind of isn't. But it's not like he went in or anything.

[Unwittingly voicing her thought, Roxas starts picking at some of the food on his plate.]

Didn't realize you knew him.

[tsundyne]

[Haa, yeah. She figured that much, so she doesn't look surprised. But at the question, she lifts her shoulders into a bit of a shrug.]

Not super well. It's been months...and I don't think he remembers me anymore.

[He'd left and come back and...

Yeah. She pretty much is assuming...that he doesn't.]

[coolerthansora]

Oh... You mean, you knew him when he was here before.

[His smile fades. He's learned by now that he's been here before, too, and he doesn't like the idea of forgetting.]

[tsundyne]

...Oh. [That would be a 'yes' reaction. She doesn't like the idea of possibly forgetting all of a sudden, either.]

Um, I guess...someone told you?

[that those kinds of things happen--]

[coolerthansora]

I've heard from a couple people now. It's- weird how people just kind of take it in stride.

[tsundyne]

It kind of is. But...I don't think anyone's okay with it at first.

[being forgotten hurts.]

It's just kind of something you have to accept, like being trapped here. And it's not like yelling and screaming at them will make 'em remember you, anyways...

[Ultimately, it's not their fault.]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas gives a wry smile.]

I guess some people still hope they can jog your memory that way. Can't say I blame them.

[tsundyne]

[She looks contemplative at that. She wonders if that kind of thing really worked--

Heh. But she's pretty doubtful.

If it really is like some form of amnesia, only familiarity would work.]

Did he remember you?

[Just checking.]

[coolerthansora]

Huh?

O-of course he does.

[The idea of Axel forgetting him... it's a little scary. He can only imagine how much it sucked for Axel when it was the other way around.]

[tsundyne]

That's good.

[She looks a bit relieved at that, realizing it was kind of an insensitive question--but she was curious.

There's a light nudge, and a grin as she tries to lighten the mood.]

Don't look so spooked. I was just making sure.

[coolerthansora]

Right, it's just- [..not that far-fetched.

He shakes his head and gives her a sheepish smile.]

Well, I don't think anyone would want to be forgotten.

[tsundyne]

...Yeah. You're right.

[It's not much fun being the one forgetting, either. That nagging feeling that you should know more than you do, that there's something there that you don't know...

But she thinks being on the receiving end is probably worse.]

No one wants to be, but...there probably are some who wouldn't mind it.

[She's not one of them.]

[coolerthansora]

I couldn't understand that.

[Why would you ever be okay with someone forgetting you?]

...unless maybe it was someone really annoying.

[tsundyne]

[...At that, she has to laugh--though she was being kind of serious before. She could probably name a few annoying people who she could only wish would forget her...and whom she could forget in return.

But in the end, she just shakes her head.]

Well, I just meant they'd be less likely to take offense is all. I guess it'd still hurt, either way...

[She winces a little.

...Because she's forgotten before, too.]

[coolerthansora]

Well, there're definitely people who'd take it worse than others.

[Here's looking at you, Axel.]

[tsundyne]

[He's just SO FLATTERED. ♥]

Yeah. You seem like a pretty level-headed guy, though. Probably keep it all to yourself, huh?

[coolerthansora]

Um... Most of the time, I guess.

[tsundyne]

...Guess I can't fault ya for that. But you keep it bottled up and it's bound to explode on you.

[almost sounds like she's speaking from experience.]

[coolerthansora]

Explode?

[Sure, he's gotten pretty angry before, but he thinks he had every right to.]

1/2

[tsundyne]

Yeah. You know. Your emotions, how you feel...

It gets harder and harder to control them, until finally it just all comes out. Whether you want it to or not.

[tsundyne]

[...ah. She realizes she's rambled a bit though, and shakes her head.]

Um, but, you said he remembers you so...I guess we don't have to worry about that.

[coolerthansora]

Oh... Yeah. I'm not sure I have that problem anyway.

[Seeing as his emotions aren't really real. He thinks.]
