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.

Uh... [how to explain the internet] The internet's like, this...great, big, network between computers. And, it has everything, like, forums to talk to people all the way across the world, and, and information about everything, as well as pictures and videos and...stuff.

[coolerthansora]

So it's like... being able to call people with computers?

[At least he knows what a computer is. Even if he smashed up the only one he ever saw.]

[kivaember]

[Gilbert was relieved that this person wasn't completely in the stone age] Yes! Exactly that! It's a great invention, because you get to have friends everywhere.

[coolerthansora]

Without even meeting them?

[kivaember]

Yup. Well, without meeting them physically. Pretty impressive, huh?

[coolerthansora]

...it seems weird.

[kivaember]

Well, that's just coz you haven't witnessed the awesomeness that is the internet first hand. [Pouts a little. Before coming here the internet was his livelihood, his escape from the embarrassment his life had become. From one of the greatest military powers in the world to an obsolete nation lurking in his brother's basement]

[coolerthansora]

Maybe.

But I think I'd rather know people for real.

[kivaember]

...well, just a case of personal preference, I guess.

[coolerthansora]

I guess so.

[kivaember]

[Awkward silence. Gil's old friend.]

S-So, hey, wait, did I introduce myself, I can't remember...

[coolerthansora]

You didn't.

[Nice manners, Roxas. This is the part where you could introduce yourself first.]

[kivaember]

Oh, bit of a brain fart on my part, huh? Ahah..haha...er, ahem. I'm Gilbert, Gilbert Weillschmidt. Or you can call me Prussia. Not really picky, both names are awesome.

[coolerthansora]

...I think Prussia's easier to say. [What the heck is Weillschmidt?]

I'm Roxas.

[kivaember]

Roxy? [Another guy with a girly name] Well, nice t'meet you! Always great to find new allies in this weirdo world.

[coolerthansora]

It's Roxas. [He frowns. He doesn't realize Prussia thinks it's girly but he doesn't like being nicknamed by a near stranger.]

[kivaember]

Yeah, that's what I said, Roxy. [Blinks]

[coolerthansora]

No, it's not.

[kivaember]

[Gilbert scratches his head. Maybe Roxy was embarrassed over his girly name. Something manlier then.] Okay...Rox?

[coolerthansora]

Roxas.

Are you doing that on purpose?

[kivaember]

[Forgive him, he's almost a thousand years old, and only hears what he wants to hear] Doing what on purpose? I'm saying your name. [He pouts] Roxy, Rox, Roxanne, Roxo, Roxas, tell me if I'm pronouncing it right. [English isn't his first language, after all]

[coolerthansora]

Wha- [Roxanne??]

The last one!

[kivaember]

Roxas? [Wrinkles his nose, muttering it a few more times. Not exactly an easy name to pronounce with a German accent] Roxas. O..kay, I think I have it.

[coolerthansora]

[Compared to Weillschmidt, it's super easy. At least, from Roxas's perspective.]

Good.

[kivaember]

[Sighs and shakes his head, before suddenly chuckling] You know, you remind me of someone... [Roxas was so curt and grumpy...he was like his little brother.]
