Day 319: ~ Emblem ~

[key_destination]

[Roxas' video feed is clicked on with a grunt and a soft thud as the teen hits the ground, and his grip is loose enough to let it slide away from his hand. The only clue that he's still alive is the slight rise and fall of his chest as he remains face-down in the dirt with his hood up. Wherever he is exactly, it's hard to tell, but it's just as

[it took her a bit to remember how the filters lilly showed her to do work, sry.]

The creature with you?

[Private Video]

[key_destination]

[Switching to video, there's a view of the abandoned building's ceiling he's currently hiding in before it's angled to the Nobody kneeling on the ground not too far off from where Roxas is standing.]

Yeah, it is.

[Private Video]

[thenobledie]

What will you do with her?

[Private Video]

[key_destination]

Good question. [The video now points to Roxas with his hood down, and his face looks really dirty along with the over-all tired expression.]

Nothing right now. I could try sending it out to look for the Heartless, but it might get destroyed in the process. [He's not bothering to try to avoid switching to gender-neutral. It would be a pain otherwise.] I don't even know if it has her memories from before...I might just let it drift until I need help.

[shirley notices it, but she still distinctly thinks of the nobody as an aspect of a woman's soul. memories or not.]

I find it odd she would answer to you.

[Private Video]

[key_destination]

... [Is that a guilty look? You bet it is. And his gaze is just going to move away from Shirley to the Nobody.]

M-maybe it was because I was looking for her. Or...maybe because I created it.

[Private Video]

[thenobledie]

[you are such a liar, roxas, and shirley can tell. but she won't ask.]

Perhaps... You can search for the Heartless with her, hm?

[Private Video]

[key_destination]

Ummm...Maybe. I don't know if I want to risk it, and I've never had one of these help me search for Heartless before.

[Private Video]

[thenobledie]

Keep her near, regardless. Other creatures in the Mist will not be so easy.

[Private Video]

[key_destination]

I know. I've been exploring it a lot, so I have some ideas.

...Hey Shirley, is it normal to, uhhh black out after having a bad headache?

[Private Video]

[thenobledie]

It is, but such pain isn't normal. Should I encourage you to come to the clinic?

[and her smile is a little fond, a little teasing.]

[Private Video]

[key_destination]

W-well... [The slightly pouty look is not from the teasing, but more from embarrassment.]

Okay, but healing magic doesn't really work on the headaches. I've tried it before.

[Private Video]

[thenobledie]

We will find something for it.

[Action]

[key_destination]

...Alright, I'll be over soon.

[With his feed clicked off, Roxas dismisses the Nobody as he uses a dark corridor to relocate somewhere close by the clinic before walking in.]

Shirley?

[Action]

[thenobledie]

[is exiting a hall, having barely left the empty room she was in to speak with roxas. she pauses in her step to acknowledge him, hands clasped together. then, beckons him to follow and walks toward the patient areas, hands returning to their clasped position.]

[Action]

[key_destination]

[It's not that he wasn't used to being in the clinic that made him fidgety, but more because he was there for something that couldn't be healed with any of his Cure spells. It's a weird thought, but he honestly has no clue what Shirley has planned as he follows her and finally takes a seat.]

Sooo...what do we do?
