[ Roxas has returned to the Plane. He's sitting on the floor with some sort of large blueprint spread out in front of him, held in place by colorful blocks on each corner. In one hand, he's got a white pencil, and in the other, an eraser.

He leans forward over the blueprint, erasing one of the more dangerous looking components. ] Maybe if the Thundaras went on the bottom, instead...? Or the Verniers... Agh, but then it'll be too big! How does Cid do this all the time?

[ He reaches up to mess with his hair in frustration. Designing super-advanced spaceships is hard! ]

[Axel freezes. He has sea salt ice cream for two, but that's not the problem.

Hello, this is awkward.]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Roxas glances up from the blueprints by chance, and sees him.

Yes, this is pretty awkward. ]

... Hey, Axel.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[This is going to get worse before it gets better.]

Geez...

So, uh... I take it you're back to normal?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wasn't sure where you went, so I figured I'd wait here for you. So we could figure out what to tell the others happened... you know?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

I told them you were sick and really out of it.

[... ice cream?]

[Naminé makes her way over, sketchbook and a pencil of her own in hand. She had no idea what the blueprint is, but hearing Roxas mumbling about something... does that mean he's better? She hopes so, anyway...! She smiles and waves.]

Roxas!

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Huh? Oh! He looks up and grins. ] Hey, Naminé.

[breathenothing.livejournal.com]

[Her smile only grows - he's back. ♥ She sits beside him before pulling him into a hug.]

I'm glad you're okay.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Wh-whoa. /// Roxas blinks at the sudden hug, then quickly returns it. ] Yeah... me too. Sorry. It must've been kind of weird.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

...What is that meant to be, precisely?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Roxas looks up at the Master, then seems a little morose. ] A gummi ship.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It sounds edible.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

It's not. It's called that because the pieces are gummi...ish.

[asmallamoroso.livejournal.com]

[ There would be an Ai passing by with an armload of books - someone here has been putting the library to full use. And while she won't admit curiosity obviously got the better of her as she pauses just long enough to try and sneak a peak at those blueprints. ]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Roxas looks up from the blueprint, in an attempt to see if he can figure out how to properly balance the ship by simply not thinking about it, when he sees Ai. ]

Uh... hey.

[asmallamoroso.livejournal.com]

[ Have a fairly calm stare right back at you, Roxas. ]

... hello.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ He blinks at the weird calmness of the kid (not to mention the Leaning Tower of Literature), but smiles a little. ] Something up?

[maturelildevil.livejournal.com]

[peers over his shoulder at the blueprint, curiosity winning out] Hmmm? What are you trying to build?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Huh? Oh... it's a gummi ship.

[maturelildevil.livejournal.com]

[tries hard not to laugh--and fails] A ship made out of gummi?! You're joking right? That kind of thing won't ever fly!

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

I'm not! That's just what the material is called! Look. [ He grabs one of the blocks and holds it out for Kaoru. It looks solid enough... but if Kaoru holds it, he might realize it's pretty elastic, too. ]

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[... He might still be weird. At any rate.]

Um... hi, Roxas!

[Nervous smile is go!]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Oh—Roxas grins. ]

Hey, Emil.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[!!!]

Ah! You remember me now?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ ... heheheh. ]

Y-yeah. I do. Sorry about that... I guess it was an experiment or something.
