Day 3 - [Accidental Video]

[coolerthansora]

[The face showing up on the screen has got to be familiar to a lot of people by now, what with two other versions of it running about. In fact, since Roxas is wearing a generic black shirt instead of his Organization coat, it would be easy to mistake him for Ventus. A frowning Ventus. He has a look of concentration, or possibly annoyance.

He's trying to do something with the communicator, but clearly he doesn't realize it's already recording.]

I thought she said there was a list of people... Stupid thing.

Comments

[tsundyne]

...There is.

[Oh hi. You best not be accusing her of lying. :V]

You're not looking in the right place. Try the contact list.

[coolerthansora]

Ah-!

[He nearly drops the communicator, but fumbles it steady and peers at her.]

Did I- call you?

[He didn't even realize these things did video. Phones don't do video, do they? He's not accusing anyone of lying, he's just... not friends with technology.]

[tsundyne]

[Not normal phones, no. But she nods.]

Yeah. It's a good way to make announcements to the city if you've got anything to say, or if you're looking for something.

[Or someone.]

...Were you?

[Whoa, wait a minute, what is even going on here -]

Vent -

[But he stops himself. This isn't that same cheery kid. That would have to mean...]

No, you're...

video

[coolerthansora]

Huh?

[Roxas blinks at the screen. This isn't exactly someone he knows, but he knows who it is, which is more than he was expecting.]

...King Mickey?

[takesyoubytheheart]

[His expression softens.]

That's me. And that makes ya Roxas, right?

[ If ever there were a sight to at once put a chill in his blood and confuse him to no end, this is it. Ven stares open-mouthed for all of five seconds before his brows knit together, and he pokes at the screen. ]

What the heck! [ Now he's frowning, and they look even more identical. ]

Who are you?

[ If this is somehow Vanitas playing a 'joke', he'll teach him a lesson he'll not soon forget. ]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas jerks back a little from the screen at this sight. This is... him? What? But his reflection is talking to him.]

Wha-

I'm me. [That's helpful, Roxas.] Who're you?

[Is this some kind of trick?]

[ex_ventus850]

[ Ven leans close in, even more confused when he sees blue eyes rather than gold. What in the worlds? ]

I'm me! And unless you're...

[ Shaking his head, he cuts himself off. ]

Is this some kind of joke? It's not very funny!

1/?

2/?

[flared]

[Wait...is that really--?]

3/4

[flared]

[...Looks like all of his waiting may have payed off.

Axel waits for a moment, smiling at the screen while Roxas fiddles with the device, before he turns his own feed on and laughs, probably his first genuine laugh in a long while.]

[flared]

Looks like you haven't changed much, kid.

1/4

[coolerthansora]

[coolerthansora]

[Okay, he heard about this from Mickey, but it's really Axel.]

[coolerthansora]

[Sorry, need to stare a moment before we remember real expressions.]

4/4

[coolerthansora]

[And at last there's a little smile.]

H-hey. Who're you calling a kid?

[kivaember]

Trying to work the creepy starfish thing, huh? [Gilbert was unable to resist butting his nose into other people's business, and that included people unwittingly recording themselves on the video channel]

[coolerthansora]

We don't have these back home.

[His ineptitude is not his fault, okay?]

[kivaember]

Eh? Me neither but I still managed to work it. It's easy if you know how to work a smartphone, to be honest. [Everyone has smartphones, right? Even weirdoes from other dimensions?]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[wow he's confused]}

Ven...?

video

[coolerthansora]

Oh, um.

I'm not Ven.

[This is going to start happening now, isn't it?]

video

[demonicbookworm]

Ah... s-sorry. I didn't mean to...

_{[but you do look like Ven...]}

[ex_heartening282]

[ Okay, she can't help the little giggle she makes. ]

There is a list on it, Roxas. Want me to show you?

[coolerthansora]

[A faint pout. Don't laugh at his inability to use this thing.]

Yukari pointed it out, actually.
