[So, uh, after an epic battle with Diva, Roxas appears to be back from the dead! He doesn't look very pleased, and really, who would after being killed? :|]

[He glances around the Astral Plane, sees the blood and gore, and unconsciously rubs his neck. There are tiny scars where the puncture wounds were, and he drops his hand, letting it fall back to his side.]

[Now he's a bit wary; his eyes scan the area, and when he's sure that there aren't any Crazy Ladies With Surgical Knives™ running about, he disappears from the Plane, and soon returns with an ice cream bar. It's time to celebrate his being alive again.]

[Woohoo. :|]

[Sora's eyes just... widen, shocked. He looks behind them for a moment, feet still moving. Just how much of that blood was Roxas'?!]

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

[Om nom nom.] Don't worry; I didn't spill much.

She drank most of it. [Roxas forces a smile. HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE CELEBRATING.]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[This would be Sora doing a double take.] Sh-she — she what?!

[Sorry, Roxas. Sora's concern is ruining the party.]

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

[Darn it, Roxas is almost out of ice cream. He finishes the last bite and eyes the empty stick longingly.]

Ever die before? [This is Roxas trying to be casual, nonchalant, etc. about it.]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

Maybe not in the way you're talking about—

[Sora stops walking and stares at Roxas with bewilderment. His mind is reeling at the thought of his not!Other dying.] You...? But... you're here. You're still here.

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

What other way is there? [Roxas tosses the stick over his shoulder, but stops mid-step and looks at Sora.]

I guess the Twins don't like it when we die on them.

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

Uh — er, fading away, in a sense? [Sheepish laugh~]

[Sora still can't believe it.] The Twins, huh? Are you sure you're okay? [He walks up to Roxas, looking to see if he has, uh, scars or wounds of any sort from whatever happened.]

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

Don't look very faded to me. Oh, or does that have to do with the... heart-thing? I mean, I guess you couldn't really fit in there if, uh, you looked like that.

More or less. [Look at all of the little puncture marks in Roxas' neck from failed blood-suckings! But you aren't allowed to look under Roxas' shirt, sry, IT'S JUST TOO SOON. :|b]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

Kind of. [Another laugh, then a smile.]

A vampire...?! [Sora looks horrified that Roxas got maimed. D:]

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess. I didn't know they existed. [Shrugs.]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

Halloween Town as a couple of them, but I doubt they're that violent...

I'm glad that you're alive, Roxas. ...I just wish that I was there to help you. [He frowns. To think, he was watching Roxas and his friends doing heelflips instead of preventing his not!Other from dying...]

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

Halloween Town? [:O!!]

Don't worry about it, Sora. You probably would've ended up like me, anyway. [Roxas doesn't even know who all else died, but he's pretty sure there's more. Too much blood and gore to just be his and that bottomless corpse.]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's a pretty cool place. It's really dark, but the people there are... interesting, to say the least. [He laughs a little.]

[Sora takes a moment to look at Roxas before he continues walking.] Still... I know how to fight. I could have taken that vampire.

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

It sounds neat, but I'm afraid I'd have to pass. [I don't think Roxas likes vampires anymore. :|]

Yeah, I tried. I'm lucky that key-thing appeared, or she would've diced me with her knife. [)8 And Roxas follows Sora! Yay, the beach. No blood here. He kicks off his shoes, rolls up his pants, and sits down at the water's edge, dipping his feet in.]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Understanding nod. :|b]

[Sora follows suit, in the middle of kicking off his shoes when he blinks.] "Key-thing"? You mean your keyblade? [Getting mauled with a knife secretly makes the Nobody cringe.]

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, it made Roxas cringe too. :|b]

Is that what it's called? That makes sense. So you know about it?

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Sora stands closeby, where the waves reach up to his ankles.] Yeah. I have one, too, but it's different from yours.

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

It is? What's it look like?

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Looking down at Roxas, he smiles.] Wanna see?

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

Okay. [Roxas smiles back.]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Sora takes a step or two further back into the ocean, holding out his right hand and closing his eyes, concentrating for a brief moment. Almost instantly, Ultima Weapon manifests with a flash of light, and the Nobody opens his eyes to see Roxas' reaction to the detailed keyblade.]

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

[And Roxas decides that Sora's keyblade is way cooler than his. DO WANT.]

That's really cool! Why does mine have to look so lame? [Frowns.]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

[Sora smiles, but what Roxas says confuses him, so it falls for a moment.] Huh? I always thought Oblivion and Oathkeeper looked great.

[glassboxmemory.livejournal.com]

It's really plain. Just gold and silver. [:|]

[mirroredsky.livejournal.com]

Really? Can I see it?
