☼ 004 [video]

[See Axel. See Axel looking puzzled. See Axel looking puzzled with a very small cat sitting neatly on his shoulder, mesmerized by this strange device in Axel's hands.]

So this happened. [He shrugs the shoulder that is not a cat perch.] I was near the ruins and... Well, she followed me home, you might say. As in she staged a hostile takeover of my hoodie pocket.

[He looks a little uncomfortable. Watch out, Axel, your squishy side might be showing.]

I think she's still too small to take care of herself, you know? So... [Fidget fidget. The little cat blinks at the screen, then turns to look at Axel and impulsively bonks her head against his jaw. Great. Cat, you're not helping that squishy side showing thing at all.] I've never had a cat before.

[Translation: HALP?]

Fair enough. I try and stay on top of things, but everything has been a bit jumbled since the bombings and all.

I am, however, at least 90% sure this cat is not a zombie. What I am not sure of, unfortunately, is... what to do now. She kind of commandeered my pocket, but I didn't really plan past here. Is there even like a vet in town? I don't see many animals around here that aren't of a woodland variety.

Yeah, and people sure get repetitive on this thing.

I got no idea if there is. The only animal that I had share a place with me turned out to be a zombie. Soooo I'm not what you call an animal expert.

It's true. S'why I don't wind up posting much myself, but I figured somebody might have some advice.

No big. Your anti-zombie precautionary advice is well-received all the same.

How's the leg?

I'm sure there's some catlover here. And ah, yes good. My anti-zombie mission is complete!

Just got off my crutches yesterday, actually!

Oh yeah? Congrats!

Man, one of these days I should really just figure out how to not suck at white magics. Wish a friend of mine was here... she's quite the mage.

[Well that isn't the only reason, but it sounds less sappy than saying he misses her.]

Heh, thanks!

White magic? Is that what you call healing artes?

Edited 2013-07-02 03:53 (UTC)

Yeah, white or restorative magic, that's the stuff. Elementals are black. There's a few others, too: green and blue, time and arcane. It's kind of an old system, so far as I know--most folks just call 'em by their spell names anymore. I kinda like the old color-categorizing though, it sounds cooler.

Ahah...sounds more confusing to me than anything. I mean, I guess I can get white being healing stuff since light is the most common element for those kind of spells. The rest? Not so much.

I guess maybe it is: my life's mission is to overcomplicate everything as much as possible.

Really? Wow. What a dastardly fiend you are.

Damn, you have learned the dark secret of my true nature. Now you must die.

Aw man. But I don't want to die an overly-complicated death!

Really? You'd rather die a boring humdrum ordinary kind of death? No one remembers the guy who dies in his sleep, you know.

I know, but I rather not be remembered as the guy they found in three different fridges either. That's a sucky way to be immortalized.

All right, okay, fine, ruin all my fun.

Sorry. Think of it as saving you a whole trip across the hall.

You could just come over for dinner one night or something. That'd be two birds with one stone: saves me a trip and my cooking might just kill you.

Hmmm, doesn't Sheena do all the cooking over there? She might suspect something if you volunteer.

Nah, we trade off. Come by on a Thursday and it'll prolly be my turn.

[He's stopped trying to keep from snickering throughout this. TRUE FRIENDS JOKE ABOUT HOMICIDE AMIRITE??]

[TRUE FRIENDS TOTALLY DO. And he sounds pretty amused himself]

Ohhh.

Well, if it's on a Thursday that makes it different. Maybe dying could get me out of one of that crappy Friday night shift at work.

Well, I mean, if you just wanna get out of a shift, I'd be happy to like set your shirt on fire or something. I could do that anytime, really.

[He's kinda serious. But really, there's got to be a better way to schlep work.]

Ahahah....I'll take the death by food poisoning thanks. Then I don't have to replace a shirt later.

[Laughter and amusement. He doesn't get to joke like this too often--Roxas and Xion never quite got the hang of jokes, after all, and Riku tends to get flustered (which is a whole other barrel of fun).]

Tell you what: since I find you so very entertaining I will let you live so long as you swear to keep my secret. And continue being entertaining. Deal?

A deal huh?

Well- alright. I will take your secret to the grave, whenever I get back to it anyway.

[... Now that's an odd comment. He squints a bit, though he knows Kaneis can't see it.]

Hey now, wait a second, you're not a zombie.

Are you?

[Perhaps it takes one to know one?]
