[Day 182] Boys and girls it's time to look ahead [OPEN]

[bastionpc]

Who: Everyone!
Open: Open
When: Day 182
Where: Skyway
What: More places have arrived, and one of them is coming with a little extra
Format: Any
Warnings:Talk of blood re: Hope's Peak Academy location

[There really seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why these places are showing up, nor does there seem to be any set schedule. Days can pass between the next sighting, or they can be one right after another. Either way, it's keeping the Bastion survivors on their toes.

As the announcement goes out yet again that there are more places to explore, Zayna admits something strange: she thinks she saw something moving about at one of the locations. She can't be completely sure, though, and more than once place so far has had something potentially dangerous in it - so be careful, she warns. Now more than ever they need to be careful and diligent...]

That's only to be expected. It's been torn from Never-Was, after all. And even that world was never so... ruined.

[Just empty and desolate. Abandoned. It always suited the Organization well in more ways than they all probably admitted.]

I want to go check something.

[Even if he doubts he's here if he wasn't in the remains of Twilight Town-]

[The largest of the screens flickers again, full of static and 8 8 8 eight VIII 8 repeating against it, bright searing red.]

If I leave you with Chandra, will you be fine on your own Frederic? Roxas... Whatever you want to do, you can do it.

[Chandra is apparently the Berserker Nobody, who turns to presumably stare at the musician.]

[orzelbialy]

[Frederic returns the look, though all of that annoyance from earlier has faded and he simply looks more... stunned and uncomfortable than anything. But he nods, touching the odd, intricate looking weapon at his hip.]

I can handle myself. I will be fine.

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas gives the Berserker a curious look. How and when did it get a name? But he looks back to Saix with a nod.]

I'll- check around here.

[He feels a strange mixture of hopeful and tense in this place. As much as he wants to see Axel, part of him almost expects to turn around and find Riku. But this world doesn't want to screw with him that much, does it?

He glances over at Frederic. This is the second time he's come along with Saix.]

You're- a friend of Saix? [It's still a weird thought.]

[orzelbialy]

[One would think that, wouldn't they? But...]

Acquaintance would probably be the better term..

[coolerthansora]

I guess he's not so good at friends still.

[Maybe Roxas isn't either. If he'd just gone with Axel whenever it was that he left, then maybe...

He turns to check around the rubble at the base of the skyscraper, and maybe down one of the nearby alleys, ready to summon his keyblade at the first sign of Heartless.]

[orzelbialy]

He doesn't seem like it, no... but not everyone is capable of social skills. I doubt that means he doesn't care at least some one.

[After all, he continues to come for Frederic at the moments when he needs distraction the most...]

[coolerthansora]

Well- the more you care, the more you want to show it, right? Even if you suck at it.

[Yeah, he's not really talking about Saix anymore. He's halfway to forgetting he's even talking to anyone.]

[orzelbialy]

[Frederic notices that, so he simply gives a faint smile and nods.]

Yes, that sounds about right.
