[Christmas is one of those weird holidays for Roxas. He just sort of goes through the motions rather than actually getting anything meaningful from the season (though he may one year. If someone can explain to him what Christmas is all about). Last Christmas was actually pretty nice, when he thinks about it. This Christmas...this year he's a little bit...well, he's back to being melancholy]

[The video feed shows Roxas looking kind of morosely out a window. There's a pile of presents, that he hasn't opened yet because he got stuck on the first one, beside him on his bed. But his focus is on a simple popsicle stick, with the word "Winner" on it. Roxas's memories are still fuzzy but this one sticks out. It's making him think of a lot of things. Of Axel, mostly, but also of the fact that he can't remember Xion (at least, in terms of the past), of his friends, virtual as they were, from Twilight Town, of friends that were in Johto but aren't anymore.]

Why is this here?

[And business it is indeed. Given that Roxas is hanging out in Goldenrod for the holidays, he might as well be working. Which is where he is this time around, working at the Goldenrod Department store.

He doesn't really notice the light of fourth wall breakage this time around, being a bit more focused on stocking shelves with Christmas things. He pauses only for a moment to stare at a thing of pokemon elf ears, wondering what sort of trainer would try to humiliate their pokemon with these thing.

The next thing he knows, he's standing in a room full of Pikachu and Pichu and where did all of these rodents come from and what does he do about it?]

Where did you all...come from?

[Guess who just heard about the whole Magnet Train thing? This kid. Guess who's worried about his friends? This kid. It was meant to be private to several people (Xion, Sora) but in his worry. That kind of failed.]

( Text to Xion )

( Text to Sora )

[So, a couple days back, Roxas got in a fight. Vanitas was being a jerk and punishing Dartanian the Charizard and Roxas, being a defender of pokemon, or at the very least, a typical shonen pokemon trainer, intervened because you need to be nice to your pokemon. Given that Vanitas is a jerk, a fight broke out and words were exchanged. Along with black eyes.

But when words are exchanged with someone like Vanitas, they usually aren't good words, and if anything, they are words that will make Roxas think, and Roxas thinks way too much when it comes to these sorts of things. These things being matters of the Heart. Roxas has always figured that he doesn't have a heart, probably isn't worthy of one, and that he's not that nice of a person, despite what people may say to the contrary. But that makes him wonder. Why does he care so much about pokemon? Why did he step in, violently, to protect a Charizard that he really had no association with? Where did this mentality come from? It's a new thing for him, that's he's never really reflected on. He's just sort of assumed that's the way things were. But now? Now he's not so sure.]

What does it mean to truly have a heart?

[Today Roxas can be found wandering around Goldenrod. Since the tournament is over, he'll probably be heading out of Goldenrod again soon, towards future badges and safari zones. He's doing his best to stay out of the rain as much as he can, even with an umbrella. Mostly because he's packing pikachu and an electric mouse getting wet on your head doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

Anyone who runs into him might find him a little tired and worn out. Lack of sun seems to have an effect on Roxas and he looks like he'd rather be curled up in bed.

But errands must be run]

[Ooc: I figure there are people who Roxas hasn't seen in a while who are hanging out in Goldenrod. So if you have CR and want to do something, now's your chance. Alternately, if you don't have CR and want to do something, you are also welcome :D]

[So, despite the dark things going on with the Rockets and all that, Roxas has really been thinking about this joke thing, and senses of humour and all that. He still has trouble with it, but he found a book and he's going to try to tell a joke]

I...I found some jokes. I don't know if everyone likes these kinds though, so I hope they're alright.

[Takes a breath, and it's told in a fairly serious tone. This is still new to him.]

What do you get when you cross a Pikachu with a Haunter?

[pause]

Pikaboo.

...

[He's not really sure what to say next so the feed gets turned off shortly after]

( Private text to Namine )

[The feed switches on to show a room at the inn. From the pictures hanging on the wall, you can probably guess that it's Namine's room. Roxas is resting at the foot of the bed, Sparky sleeping on his head again.]

Uh...if anyone was wondering, Namine's alright. She just feel asleep.

[There's a pause, and Roxas looks like he's going to ask another question.]

How can you tell if someone's telling a joke?

[Expect a whole lot of derp since Roxas doesn't really have a sense of humour. and slow tags as usual]

[More specifically filtered from Sora, Kairi, Riku, Ven, Terra, Aqua, Lea, and Isa. Everyone else is fair game]

[The feed clicks on. It's in a room, and upon closer inspection, a room in the Goldenrod inn. You might be able to see part of Roxas's arm, but for the most part, the feed is focused on Axel the Growlithe and Xion the newly hatched Shinx playing tug of war. Not intentionally though. Roxas is planning on saying something. He just has to find the words.]

Um...[pause]

How...[longer pause. This is bugging him. He's been thinking about this question a lot and finally gotten to a point where he feels he can do something about it but still. It's hard. He's kind of afraid to ask. It has to deal with emotions and thoughts and things that he doesn't really understand. He's trying to hold back his anger, since he knows what happens when he gets angry and it hasn't worked well for him. He's trying something different, for what it's worth]

[and finally, in text]

If you're jealous of someone, how do you stop?

[ooc: Using my dad's laptop to get to some tags/get one last entry up before school starts. That being said, still technically computer-less, so tags may be wonky for a spell or threads'll be stalled. Thanks in advance for your patience.]

[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.]

[Given that Roxas has never actually experienced Christmas, he's not as excited as your average boy might be on the big morning. Still, he's kind of amazed by the amount of gifts that he has received from people. He hadn't really been expecting that. He also wonders where the strange egg came from,

. So many pokemon eggs. He stares at the pile, wondering where to start, since you opened the presents, right?

Tug, tug. Roxas turns his attention to Sparky, who is looking up at him, paws behind his back. Once he knows he has Roxas's attention, Sparky starts to talk. For pokemon watching at home, it's pretty much a speech about how he's been with Roxas since the beginning, and how much he's appreciated Roxas as his trainer, and that he's glad to be Roxas's pokemon. Whether or not Roxas understands is really not the point, since he's listening intently with an unreadable expression on his face. Then Sparky takes out his present, which is a small, blue stone, similar to the one that Roxas got from the Struggle Trophy back in Twilight Town. The Pikachu wants it to be a symbol of their friendship.

Rather unexpectedly, Sparky is swept up into a hug. It's still hard to read Roxas's expression, but still, it's a lot of emotion being displayed by a boy who isn't supposed to have any]

[Texted to all who gave him gifts later. Strikes deleted]

Uh..thanks, Everyone. ~~I didn't think that..~~. Really. Uh, Terra, Lea, Hope, and anyone else, I owe you something.

[ooc: tags to come weirdly, since holidays and I'll probably be running around for the next few days helping out and entertaining company. Backtagging is welcoming, even if you're tagging a few days from now. You can address the scene on screen, the gifts he's given, or just action. kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/File:Struggle_Trophy_Crystal.png link to image of Sparky's gift. Also: www.youtube.com/watch mood music. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Route!]

[The feed clicks on. The pokegear's being held by Fearow today, since Roxas has his hands full. He's managed to save enough for a bike. Not that he knows much about bikes, but he's seen people in Goldenrod with them and they look useful, so he figured he could try it to. He figures it's all about balance and he's good at skateboarding, and that involves balance, so it shouldn't be too hard, right ? Right?

So, he's on the bike, and after a few wobbly starts, he's on his way, sort of. Slowly but surely, he's moving forward. He's getting the pedalling part, and making his way down the street, which is on a bit of a hill, and oh no starting to speed up how do I stop? The image kind of gets distorted at this point, as Fearow has taken off to follow Roxas, but you can hear sounds of the bike and cries from the pokemon, especially Sparky.]

PI--CHU!!

KER--AAASH!!!

[The image finally gets back to normal, only to show a rather bent up bike in front of a lamppost. Roxas is lying beside it, sort of tangled up in it. It's obvious that his pants are torn, and his elbow and knee are scrapped. The feed doesn't catch it, but it's the same for the other elbow, and he's got a bump on his head. He doesn't look too happy, or willing to get up.]

Damn it.

[ooc: First action post will be the one to take Roxas to a place to treat injuries like the inn or pokemon center. Subsequent action threads will be at either aforementioned location to avoid confusion. Video probably won't get you Roxas, but a rather panicked Pikachu. Tags will be slow and most will probably come tomorrow morning]

[The video is looking out at the sky, but part of the street and some buildings can be seen. It doesn't take long to figure out that you're up high. The roof of the Goldenrod City department store to be exact. Roxas has just finished his shift and is enjoying the sunset. A few notes in text appear on the screen]

-I made it to Goldenrod City. It's really big here, but I kind of like it.

-Olette evolved in Meganium. She's really big now. Do all pokemon get bigger when they evolve?

-I'm staying at the inn. It's nice. Having my own room.

-Uh, Kisa, my Growlithe hatched. Thank you, again.

[pause]

I wish I'd remembered to bring some ice cream. That would have been the icing on the cake.

I had a weird dream on the weekend. I got to see [hestitation] friends. From home. It was - I wish he - they could have stayed.
