[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?

[croceamors]

No, but a dog isn't a person.

[coolerthansora]

You like dogs.

[Things he never knew about Saix.]

[croceamors]

Yes. That shouldn't be so strange.

[coolerthansora]

Well-

[It shouldn't be, but.]

...I didn't think you liked anything.

[croceamors]

[God he hates the people he used to work with.]

I imagine this would come as a surprise to many of you, but I did in fact have interests outside paperwork.

[coolerthansora]

How am I supposed to know? It's not like you let anyone get to know you.

[croceamors]

It should be common sense. Besides, you were all to be busy with your missions. There wasn't any time for socializing.

[coolerthansora]

There wasn't a lot of time, but there was some.

[croceamors]

Not for me.

[When it wasn't the paperwork needed to keep track of and fill out and send to Xemnas, he'd had his own plans that needed careful watching. He needed to try and keep track of what the other members were up to, plot how to keep the most dangerous ones out of the way. He had to make plans with Axel. 'Free time' was a myth.]

[coolerthansora]

[Saix you workaholic.]

...were you- jealous?

[croceamors]

I can't be jealous. Besides, what was there to be jealous of?

[yes he was totally jealous and is still in denial of it, sssh]

[coolerthansora]

Having friends?

[He at least half-believes Saix because it's Saix. But hey, he just found out the guy likes dogs, so maybe he does feel things besides lineface and berserk.]

[croceamors]

People who call themselves that can't be trusted.

[His mind, without a fail, wanders to a stupid little glow up star thing that's now in his house. He really should just get rid of it. Maybe another dog will want it.]

[coolerthansora]

Yes, they can.

Sometimes they screw up is all.

[croceamors]

After a certain number of mistakes, of screw ups, they don't deserve anymore chances.

[coolerthansora]

I don't know what happened with you guys, but- Axel's a good friend.

[croceamors]

[Just a moment of silence as he crosses his arms.]

...He's a good liar, as well. Something to keep in mind.
