What am I supposed to say to this thing?

[10 seconds pass]

I'm Roxas. This is my phone.

{A small graphite drawing of an old fashioned skeleton key - not a keyblade, just a key - with a cloth bunched around it but not folded over. The item of interest in the drawing (that is, the key) is clearly visible.}

[HE'LL JUST. STARE FOR A FEW MINUTES. Turn, wheels, turn.]

[voice] Monday Morning, probably at some lulled mid-point in their stadium shift.

[madeinoblivion.livejournal.com]

[He hadn't said a word to Roxas on the walk over that morning, and had skipped out absent on ice cream time, the evening before.

...and the cold shouldering and the shake offs of 'its nothing' took on immediate clarity when terse, accusatory voice message finally blinked onto Roxas' NV.]

So I hear you've been keeping someone from me.

[voice] Monday Morning, while Roxas is filing alone in a back office because there's no game on

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

What? I didn't—

[And maybe it shouldn't technically exist, but Roxas still has a sinking feeling accompanied almost immediately by a twisting sensation, like he ate something bad.

He knew, or should have known this was coming. Even if it was easier to let Riku or Zexion himself handle it.]

...I didn't mean to.

[voicemail]

[madeinoblivion.livejournal.com]

Hey. Where are you going? There's no way I'm ever letting him have your bunk.

[voice]

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Sorry.

[masking.livejournal.com]

Yo, Roxas! A lil' birdy told me yer lookin' for 'nother job?

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sort of--who told you?

voice;

[key2destiny.livejournal.com]

So um...it's me. I'm renting a boat for the 23rd that'll go all the way around the island in continuous loops. At 5pm it'll be at the Southwest dock for refueling and I'm jumping off 'cuz I gotta take Hikaru for a walk. I won't be going back as it'll leave at 5:30 and Hikaru's walk takes longer than that so...yeah...

If you wanna go with your friends you could.

voice;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

You can do that, with the Pull?

Why?

voice;

[key2destiny.livejournal.com]

[Two calls from Sora in one day?! Roxas must feel special.]

It was you?!

voice;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

[Blink blink, he has no idea what this is about, and the fact that Sora has dared to talk at him twice in one day is confusing enough that he answers instead of giving him the cold shoulder.]

What was me?

voice;

[key2destiny.livejournal.com]

Hey, I know it's been like...unbearably hot and all. I'm not really using my apartment right now so there's two bedrooms and a couch, it gets a bit of a cool breeze if you open all the windows because the ocean is cool. Plus it's like five minutes down to the water and I've got a bunch of beach stuff.

Don't got an air conditioner but I've got a swamp cooler that should help during the hot parts. You all can use it while I'm gone, if you want.

Leon's the only one there with Hikaru and Ebony.

voice;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Oh...thanks. [Awkward surprise, herpaderp. But...appreciation, maybe, on some level.]

Actually, it's not that bad...we froze the couch, so that helped. And me and Xion and Axel are kind of used to it. It was worse in Agrabah.

Voicemail;

[madeinoblivion.livejournal.com]

Hey. Riku says he can't find Sora anywhere...so I'm going to help him look. To take sure he didn't take a boat out again, or anything.

Do you...can you feel it, connected, when he's around? Riku sounded worried.

Voice;

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

What? Not anywhere? But he wouldn't do that again!

I don't know...maybe sometimes, if he's really close, but...I thought I would feel it if he ever...

Left on a counter at Kahve;

[todomarishi]

[One large, white envelope with the name 'ROXAS' printed on the front. A pack of stickers can be found inside. The first sticker sheet is made up of glow-in-the-dark stars, the other sheets are assorted symbols and smiley faces. There's no note with the envelope.]

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

[At the end of a long, busy shift, he's uncharacteristically irritated and nearly misses the envelope until a co-worker nudges him and points it out.

Despite his annoyance, he can't help the small grin that lights up his face for a moment or two.]

voicemail;

[hexyoutotuesday.livejournal.com]

Hey, kid. It's Jinx. I'm just calling to check up on you. Well, at least we know Terra's not crazy? Just, if you need to talk, I'm, uh, here? For you. Or whatever. This overly polite dude's got nothing on you, okay? So... yeah. Stay you.

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

[There is no reply, because someone left his NV behind when he went haring off to have a freakout.]

[wtf-keyblade.livejournal.com]

[ Ringy dingy~ to your NV Roxas <3 And since she'll probably get voice mail: ]

Roxas? It's Kairi. I wanted to know if you still want to go to the mall after work today. We can stop by my place too; dinner's my treat.

[ OOC: Can handwave the shopping trip if you want to go straight to the chat though! Also I would have done this last night but was up late goofing off :D; ]

callback

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Kairi, hey! Yeah, today still sounds good. [He still has no idea what to get most people after all.] I'll bring my money to Kahve so we can go from there.

Thanks. This is really cool of you. [Be careful girl cuz this is resembling a date. We know you miss Sora but this is not the way to pretend he's here. ;D ]

[ooc: sounds good! Maybe pick up partway through their trip when the bulk of shopping has been done or something. Also if you want to toss something up go ahead--I'm getting groceries in a few minutes but I'll be around all day otherwise because I am sicky mcsick.]

Hello? Xion?

Backdated Voicemail to Monday morning.

[mirroredmemory]

Roxas! Guess what, Axel found us a new place to live! It's really nice, and we can decorate it however we want. You should come and see it later today if you've got time; I think we need a housewarming party.

Not that the house isn't warm, because it is.

Anyway, give me a call when you get this, OK?

Backdated Voicemail to Monday evening

[mirroredmemory]

Hey, you never called me back, didn't you get my message? Anyway, I'm not mad. But, um, I'm going to try and make spaghetti tonight for dinner, and you should come over and eat it with us. We don't have a table yet, but we can have like a picnic or something, it'll be fun.

Call me back and I'll get started on your spaghetti!

Backdated Voicemail to Tuesday morning

[mirroredmemory]

Roxas, are you OK? I haven't heard anything from you, are you sick or something?

OK. Here's what I'm going to do. If you don't call me back by lunchtime I'm going to come and see you at work, and if you're there then you have to buy me ice cream because I'm starting to get worried.

Please call me when you hear this?

Voicemail, Tuesday afternoon

[mirroredmemory]

Roxas, please please please call me! I went to your work and they said they haven't seen you all week, what's wrong?

Voicemail Tuesday evening

[mirroredmemory]

Where are you? I just want to know that you're OK...
