First Flare

[A lanky redheaded man in a long black coat waves at the screen, apparently already comfortable with how it works. A komory bat is fluttering around above his head.]

Didn’t think I’d see this place again. Hey, everyone, my name is Lea. [He grins.] Don’t forget it, now.

I don’t know how I ended up here again, but does anyone know what’s going on? The moogle said you guys had been trying to work out what was up but that it didn’t seem like anyone had figured out how to get home. Since this isn’t the exam, I don’t think anyone’s going to try to wake me up any time soon.

Because it was us. What we did together for fun.

[He hadn't eaten it all. He was pretty sure he the kids and teens were his friends forever, though.]

I had to buy a lot, but it was worth it.

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, it was.

The ice cream didn't go to waste, right?

[eternalfrolicbond]

Nah, I found people who were happy to get free ice cream.

[Lea links his hands behind his head.]

I hope it's okay.

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, it's okay. Just, makes me think about how much has happened.

[eternalfrolicbond]

...Yeah.

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas shrugs. What to do now?]

[eternalfrolicbond]

So where are you staying? I guess I'll need a place to crash.

[seasaltkeys]

The Usual Spot.

[He shrugs]

I...didn't really want to go anywhere else.

[eternalfrolicbond]

Hey, anywhere decent to rest your head, right?

[seasaltkeys]

I got blankets and stuff from the moogles. It works for me.

[eternalfrolicbond]

Are you good there on your own, or would company be okay?

[seasaltkeys]

I dunno. I guess I'm alright.

If you don't mind sleeping on an air mattress.

[eternalfrolicbond]

I'd like a place to stay, and it would be nice to stay with you.

[seasaltkeys]

The Usual Spot's not much of a place to stay.

[He'd chosen it because it was familiar, because it was really all he had, because it was a good place to avoid people. He'd been scared to find out if his room still existed.]

[eternalfrolicbond]

I can scout out somewhere to kick back, then, if you want.

[He'd never really lived on his own and he's not ready to start now.]
