Day 4 - Text

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas is sitting at a restaurant patio in Violet City, enjoying some of his hard-earned wages. He's been working at the poke-mart since yesterday. If you are in the area and want to bug him go ahead.]

Does anyone know anything about the Sprout Tower? I've walked past it a few times but it's hard to tell what it is.

[pause]

Also, Nanoha? Falkner uses sfkjghajkfd

[abrupt end to the entry. Rattata may or may not have stepped on the keyboard]

Comments

[justicereigns]

Nope. The rubber brat isn't rubber either. [Not that that explains anything.]

[there's a pause. Roxas decides not to try.]

I know the feeling. I can't summon the weapon I use back home.

[justicereigns]

Seems to be the case with a lot of people. Kazooie used to be a bird.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Is that why she sits in your backpack?

[justicereigns]

Yes. She's used to being carried around in her world.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

A backpack seems like a weird place for a bird.

Uh...I'm Roxas. probably should have said that earlier

[justicereigns]

That's what I thought, but her best friend is a bear. And she can run faster than me. I stopped trying to figure it out.

Smoker. Nice to meet you kid.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I...think I'll leave it for now to.

You to. Are you working at the Pokemart?

[justicereigns]

Yeah. We're staying in Violet City waiting for some people to catch up. And if I know anything about the punks I'm going to end up paying for their damages the whole trail.

Aren't you a bit young for a job?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

They like to make a mess? At least the only thing they can damage is the forest.

I'm fifteen. They said I could work part-time.

[He assumes it's alright to say he is, since he doesn't actually know his age.]

[justicereigns]

They're pirates. Depending on their mood they might rob half of everything.

Oh, fifteen's not too bad then.

[Heh good old Roxas age confusions.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Wow, really? So why do you have to pay?

[justicereigns]

Because I'm a law officer where they come from. And I can't in good conscious let them loose on the world without trying to mitigate some of the damages.

Besides... I don't really want them to starve either.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Well, hopefully they won't cause too much damage or eat too much and spare your wallet.

[justicereigns]

[Coughs and laughs lightly.]

Yeah... a guy can dream.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

So you chase pirates back where you're from?

[justicereigns]

Hn. Yes. I had a perfect record in Loguetown except for one.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Who got away?

[justicereigns]

Hn. Someone I'm still chasing.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Maybe they'll show up here.

[justicereigns]

They did.

But there are... complications.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Did they come from a different time than you?

[justicereigns]

By ten years.

I can't arrest a kid.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Wow. Maybe you can keep an eye on him and have him not become a pirate.

[justicereigns]

Unfortunately, that's exactly what I'm trying. I'm pretty sure it's a lost cause though.
