Day 224
Who: Saix, some Dusks, and you whether you like it or not
Open: Open
When: 224
Where: Your room! Yep. ALT: around the Bastion
What: As it turns out, Dusks are assholes.
Format: I'll follow
Warnings:
Normally mornings in the Bastion are... routine and occasionally dull. That's just how it is.
Yet this morning, a few people might feel something... wet and cool on their face. Moving? The moment they open their eyes, they'll- Okay what the fuck is that. That might be all the thought they get to have before the Dusk Nobody suddenly vanishes in a swirl of Darkness and... Was it holding a sharpie in its hands?
...You might want to go take a look at your face in a mirror. Or give chase. One or the other.
Alternatively...
Whether you've been a victim to bored sharpie scribblings with your face on the canvas or just going about your day as normal, you'll suddenly find a golden retriever and another (or maybe even the same) Dusk Nobody nearly barreling into your kneecaps. The dog moreso than the Nobody, really. The dog looks up with a happy tail wag and what looks like a stick in its mouth before a sharp whistle has both creatures returning to Saix's side.
"Sorry about that." It sounds more obligatory than sincere.

"What would you suggest? This wasn't something that was particularly considered back in the Organization." Partially because Dusks weren't expected to live for too long as resident cannon fodder. "It's not as though I can play fetch with them."

"Well, they're not dogs." Roxas gives a little sigh of his own. "I don't know. I've been having a hard time- trying to explain free time to my Samurai at all."

"...maybe they'd like drawing." They sure like drawing mustaches anyway.
no subject
"...I suppose it's worth a shot. Maybe I'll be able to enlist their help in something I've been wanting to do. Whatever keeps them from harassing the rest of the residents here."

"It's not quite drawing, but maybe it would catch at least one of the Dusks' attention."
no subject
"That- actually sounds really nice."
no subject
"It's something that I did before I was taken in by the Organization. I figured... if there was anyplace to start, it was there."
no subject
Roxas nods in agreement. "Y'know, back in Vatheon, one of my friends gave me this- star projector lamp. You'd turn it on and there'd be little lights all over everything. It was neat."

Only now he doesn't have anyone to eat ice cream with. He's trying not to let on how much that bothers him.

"Um, thanks. Are you saving up for something?"
no subject
no subject
"If you were saving up for that, you probably do have a lot. You could get all sorts of stuff."
no subject
"Actually, I have a question I've been meaning to ask you."

Saix shifts in place, letting his hand fall down to scratch the back of New Moon's ears. "You're generally more social than I am, which is really the only reason why I think you might have any idea about this, but... How do you make a person want to keep on living?"
no subject
"...it's probably really hard. Like getting your heart back. ... You're not- talking about you, right?" Saix may not be the most enthusiastic about living, but Roxas is pretty sure he's not interested in dying.
no subject
"There's a girl who went out onto the Skyway to die but who I..." Okay, he can't really say 'convinced' here in any shape or form. "I told her I'd kill her if she worked for it. It was the only thing I could think to say as a delaying tactic."
no subject
"Try- not to bring that up again if you can help it. That can't be good for her to hear." He frowns, trying to think of what would help. "Did she say anything about why?"
no subject
"It was a bit of a list, but, from what I can tell... Being useless, her loved ones being dead and not caring about her if they weren't, being called a monster presumably for her powers... The Dusks haven't reported her doing anything foolish lately, so at least she's slightly better but the issue still hasn't been solved."
He already made a promise, so he doesn't want it coming back to bite him in the ass.
