Day 41 [video]

[The video opens on a sunset, though it's a bit hard to see. Roxas has climbed onto the roof of the pokemon center, since that seems to be the tallest building around in Mahogany. After a moment, Roxas's hand moves into the camera, holding a newly won Glacier badge. He admires it, and the way it glitters in the sunlight. He hasn't won a badge in a while, so this is a feel good moment.]

Just one more to go. For Johto anyway.

It's too bad Mahogany town doesn't really have taller buildings. You can't really see the sunset from here.

[There's a pause]

Haven't heard this music in a long time.

See, easy. And roof's pretty stable so we don't have to worry about falling or anything.

I'm s--

[Ah, she's doing the apologizing thing again. She nods, and smiles instead.]

I'm just not used to it, that's all. Unlike everyone else, I... was never someone whocould move freely around.

Don't forget that you're able to do that now. We're able to do a lot of things.

More like I'm not suited for it. Um, I never had the training you had.

[DO YOU SEE HOW TWIGGY SHE IS, ROXAS? DO YOU?]

[He knows, he knows.]

I never really got a lot of training. I think everything I knew mostly came from Sora.

... but you were used to taking missions, weren't you? That counts as training, I suppose.

I guess it does. I usually just thought of them as missions though, as something I had to do. Not training. That was something outside of missions.

What was it like? Being a part of the organization?

It's still kind of fuzzy, but I guess it was alright. I mostly stayed out of the way, doing missions like I was supposed to, meeting Axel and Xion for ice cream.

[He pauses. It still sounds weird to say because all of his memories of that time just have him and Axel, but he knows Xion's supposed to be there.]

I mean, some of the others were okay, like Demyx or Luxord. But still, they were using me.

You had friends. It's better than being alone.

[Yeah, unlike her. ): She's not exactly org material, so that's why she probably wans't given a number.

That or Organization XV doesn't sound as badass.]

I guess so. Though...it'd be better if I could remember Xion from back then.

You're not alone now though.

I wish I could have kept the memories, but there wasn't anything I could salvage.

I know.

[She's been smiling more often lately.]

When are you planning to get the final badge for Johto?

I know. It was all or nothing.

[He shrugs.]

Whenever you're ready to head out. There's not a lot here so there's no point in sticking around.

We'll have to go through the Ice Path though.

... what's in the Ice Path? Do we need to bring anything?

[Sounds like it could be cold in there.]

Probably Ice Heals, and stuff like that. Winter jackets probably.

I'll drop by the store later then. Is your jacket still fine, or do you need a new one?

I'll get some stuff to. And yeah, my jacket's still good. What about yours?

... not really. I sometimes use it to wrap new pokemon eggs I get, and the new ones that hatch seem to always tear it at one part or stretch it in some way. I'll have to get a new one.

[Roxas knows he shouldn't really laugh but that seems like something Namine would do.]

We'll make sure you get one then. We can probably order it from the department store in Goldenrod or something.

[She's a worried breeder, okay ):]

Coats... um, anything else?
