[The feed clicks on and we can see an image of a man's face. His bright eyes are wide with something like curiosity, and he's kind of grinning as he turns the device in his hands with a low whistle.]

Man, this is way fancier than any equipment I ever got at work. It's the swankiest walkie-talkie I've ever seen! [He gives an amused laugh, then ( Read more... )

Oh.

[Have one less than thrilled replica, stating the obvious in a flattened tone.]

You again.

There's ice cream in lots of places. You just have to look for yourself.

[It takes him a moment to realize this isn't Riku. Sure, Riku's kind of a jerk sometimes, but he wasn't usually caustic. That means this must be his old friend Fake! Will wonders never cease~]

Well look what the replicator dragged in--how have you been? Did you get shorter?

[And then he narrows one eye.]

And whaddya mean, me again?

I've grown.

[He insists a bit sulkily- he's not quite as tall as Riku, but his body has shaped itself to the maturity and growth that would meet the changing image of his Real Thing.]

Once would've been more than enough for you- but Roxas'll be just thrilled, I'm sure.

Grown surlier, anyway. [Seriously, who pissed in your Cheerios? And then he makes a face. While he certainly can't blame Fake for being less than excited to see him--they didn't exactly part on great terms in C.O. after all--that last bit catches him off-guard.]

Wait, how would you know what Roxas would or wouldn't be thrilled about? [They never met... And while he can't be sure Vexen never told him about Roxas, he makes it sound like he actually knows him.]

Because I found something better to be than Riku, or Zexion...

And Roxas is my best friend.

[There's a bit of savage challenge pushed up all over that declaration, too.]

We've been friends for more than a year. Ever since we ended up here. He lives with me.

[Then, with a knowing coolness]

We eat ice cream together. Every day.

Aaand DONE. got_it_memorizd September 12 2011, 04:04:14 UTC
--Hold the walkie, a year? Nice try, junior, there's no way he's been here a year. I just saw him.

[Granted, that was magical hammerspace after he died, but he has to cling to something here, come on...]

[A small huff, brash with confidence. He's got this one in the bag, although he's maybe forgetting his promise already, not to instigate too much trouble with Axel...

...oops.]

Ask anybody else around, if you don't believe me, how long we've been here together.

[Okay, that attitude has got to go. Sure, fine, maybe Axel was a little out of line in using him the way he did in the castle, but it wasn't like he hurt him or anything. If anything he helped him--they both benefited from the situation, so what's with the sour milk session here?

[His eyes narrow spitefully and he shakes his head. He is so not even having this conversation. Roxas is his best friend, no ifs ands or buts, and this is not up for debate.]

Okay, I really dunno what's got your hula skirt in a bunch there, kiddo, but you're really not doing yourself any favors carrying all that animosity around. Whatever bad blood there is between us is pretty old by now, so maybe it's time for you to, you know, let it go.

Oh sure. That's easier for you to say.

What are you even talking about, Fake? [Yeah. He went there. He can be a rude jerkface too.] Yes, it's easy for me to say--I haven't seen you since Castle Oblivion, and frankly I didn't really give you much of a second thought after that mission! [What. The. Hell.]

I'm not a Fake! Not anymore! I'm just me, not Riku, not anybody!

I did exactly what you said. When you see what you want to be, take it!

I did, and I don't care if it's original or a copy, this life is mine now!

[a bitter twist of irony then- he holds his head a little higher.]

...and having Roxas be my friend seemed as "good a place to start as any."
