seasaltkeys: (The brightest smile you ever saw)
[Today's video starts with a Pikachu.

The gear was left on the bed and so clearly, that meant it was time for the Sparky show! So, have Sparky the Pikachu waving at you. And making a few faces. Because that's clearly what the gear is for. However, Sparky soon grows bored of making faces and carries the gear over to the window.

Shakey camera will eventually reveal Roxas sitting at a desk, writing. It's hard to see what because with the way Sparky's dragging the gear, the image is all weird. Eventually, however, it evens out. Parts of the writing can be seen, but not a lot.]


{You.

I don't really know what to call you. I've really just known you as the guy in red, so we'll go with that.

I don't know why I'm writing to you, but I guess there's some things that need to be said, and since you're not here, I'll have to say them somewhere.

Two years ago, you trapped me in a digital world, made me think I had a life, friends, and that I was normal. You took me away from the life I had, gave me another one, and then tried to take both of them away. Because I wasn't supposed to exist. Because I wasn't light, I was darkness, and I belonged with Sora.

Well, your plan failed and I ended up in Johto. And what you said still stuck with me. That I wasn't supposed to be there, that I didn't matter.

But I've learned some things since then. I've learned that I do matter, that I do deserve to exist. I've made friends, I've got a goal, and that I'm just as much a person as anyone else, heart, or no heart. And one of those friends is Sora, and he agrees with me. I've got a life again, and this time, no one can take it away from me.

So I guess that's what I wanted to say. That I'm here, I'm existing, and I damn well deserve to. And if someday I do end up leaving Johto and going home, what happens then will be on my terms. Not yours. But I don't plan on coming back any time soon.}

[Roxas stops writing, and the gear shifts to show a shiny Rising Badge, a picture of a smiling Roxas and his team, and one more sentence]




{It's been 713 days. I'm still here.}

[ooc: Responses will probably come shortly after this, once Roxas realizes Sparky was recording. How much of the letter is seen can depend on your character. Thanks for 2 years everyone :D]

seasaltkeys: (Memories and meaning)
[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.

seasaltkeys: (I'll sit and think)
[Part A]

[Action; 6:30 AM]

[If you are staying at Minnie's house in Olivine, and happen to be awake early in the morning, you may encounter Roxas doing some cleaning, as he feels that he should pull his own weight there no matter what Minnie says. He'll be sweeping the floors and dusting and mopping and doing his best to make everything clean. Nothing breaks, surprisingly enough.]

[Part B]

[Action; 8:00 AM]

[Roxas has finished cleaning now, and is now passed out on the couch fast asleep. Sparky is flopped on his head.]

[Part C]

[Action/Video; 2:00 PM]

[Battle with Jasmine. Roxas wins his sixth gym badge! Stunning victories by Axel the Growlthe, Sparky the Pikachu, and Aggron! He can be found outside the restaurant eating his victory ice cream, and dealing with the fact that Aggron wants to be cuddly. Despite being a giant steel dinosaur. It's really just a big suck.

He recorded the gym battle, since it's a habit now, and will be accepting video calls.]

[Part D]

[Action; 7:30 PM]

[Roxas can be found on the roof of Minnie's house, watching the sunset and admiring the Mineral badge. It's been a satisfying day, he thinks, but he's kind of melancholy. Watching the sunset after a productive day always brings back memories of an old friend.]

[ooc: All parts are up for grabs, however, kindly indicate which part you are responding to in the subject line. Thanks]

OOC: This is a small introspection piece, as it is officially a year today that Roxas was accepted into Route. It's just a chance for Roxas to reflect so it's not really meant to be responded to icly, and there will be a follow up entry. For those who want to take the action option for it, Roxas will be on the Olivine beach. I'll probably come back and edit this later, but that will be when I have a brain. Other than that, hard to believe that it's been a year, so I just want to take a quick moment here and say Thank You to everyone who has played with me and made this game a joy to be a part of it. Playing in Route has been a great experience, and I'm grateful to have been apart of it. Here's to another year!

With my lightening bolts a glowin', I can see where I'm going )

 

seasaltkeys: (Being silly.)
[Roxas has mostly been relaxing from the chaos a few days ago. He likes Olivine City. It's nice here, but he's been so tired from the crazy bus ride and chasing down his slowking that he hasn't had a chance to really explore. Today though, he's at least made it to the beach. He's kind of proud of himself. Wasn't he supposed to come here a year ago?]

Looks like I finally made it....

Huh?

[BRIGHT LIGHT OF 4TH WALL BREAKAGE!!!]

That light again....

[He remembers it from last time, sort of. That really weird dream he had. He looks around for the pokemon that were in his dream, but fails to see them. Instead he realizes that he's now holding his keyblades! He starts, a little bit surprised but also kind of pleased. His Pikachu is looking at them intently.]


Hey Sparky, want to try something? Use thunder on that rock over there.

Chu! pi-Ka- CHU!

Thunder!

[Needless to say, the rock blows up. Roxas looks a little sheepish, and then proceeds to let out all of his pokemon, and is now sparring with them. There is Sparky the Pikachu, Axel the Growlithe, Xion the Luxray, Mosey the Houndoom, Pence the Slowking, and the currently unnamed Aron. Warning, the Aron weighs 132 pounds and likes to cuddle. Bother him?]


seasaltkeys: (It hurts | I can't | Why?)
[Once again, the feed clicks on during a gym battle, in the last few moments, since Roxas dropped the gear in excitement. Sparky is striking his victory pose as there is a fried Gengar not too far away.

Morty nods in approval and comes forward to congratulate Roxas, although our young hero appears to have other plans. He practically snatches the badge and TM from the stunned gym leader, and runs towards the exit, scooping up the gear on his way out. Sparky has to run to catch up and the feed ends abruptly. This ends the video portion.]

[Once outside, Roxas falls to his knees and is breathing pretty hard, pokegear and TM scattered around him, but the badge is held firmly in his hand. He'll be fine in a few minutes, but it should be obvious that someone really doesn't like ghost pokemon. See Day 13 for details. Once he recovers, he'll want to go for ice cream, so for action people in Ecruteak, feel free to encounter him in front of the gym or while getting ice cream. Video people, all responses will come after he's gotten ice cream and he won't want to talk about what happened.]
seasaltkeys: (Bring it on)
[Feed clicks on to see a pretty fierce pokemon battle going on. Roxas is going for the Plain badge today, and he seems to be doing pretty well. Girafarig and Clefable. All that's left is Miltank]

Slowpoke, use headbutt!

[A pink blur that seems to stun Miltank]

Use Rollout!

[Miltank curls into a ball and speeds towards Slowpoke. Roxas tells him to dodge but it doesn't work. He recalls Slowpoke]

Your foe's weak, Sparky! Get him!

Ka-chu!

[Another rollout, that Sparky managed to dodge, and then counters with Slam, which stuns the Miltank]


Finish it with thunder!

PI-KA-CHU!

[The bright light of the attack fills the screen, and when it fades there is one knocked out Miltank, and one satisfied Pikachu. Who might be posing. Roxas just has a bit of a smirk. At least, until Winry starts crying]

Uwaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! You big meany! Just take the stupid badge!

[Roxas catches the badge deftly. But isn't so successful with the squirtbottle. Sparky catches the TM]

You know, it was a good battle. You shouldn't cry.

[And with that, he'll pick up the pokegear and leave the gym, feeling pretty pleased with himself. If you want action, you can catch him just leaving the gym or getting ice cream. Because even though it's cold the situation calls for ice cream. If your name is Vanitas you will be getting text. I'll still be tagging the Christmas entry as well, if you want to continue a thread there.]
