Day 312 - [Video | Full Sun]
[At first, Roxas's dreamworld doesn't seem all that terrible. He walks the streets of Twilight Town, with the warm glow of sunset catching the tops of the buildings, the space between in comfortable shadow.
Except that everything is much too still and quiet. Not a soul stirs all along Market Street, and the tram common is utterly deserted, the tram frozen at some point along its track. Only the sun seems to be moving, sinking farther behind the buildings, the shadows deepening. Roxas picks up his pace.]
Hayner! Pence! Olette?
[Each shout is softer and less certain. His voice echoes strangely in the silence, and somehow he knows, this time it's not going to work. It's not supposed to work.
Movement catches his eye and he turns-- A trio of Dusks ripple up out of nowhere and slither towards him. He takes a step back.]
No. I told you I wasn't going back.
[They don't acknowledge his words, but keep coming. Roxas calls Oathkeeper, reluctantly sinking into a fighting stance...]
[It takes a while for Roxas to waken. There's nothing startling in the dream: a world empty except for Nobodies. It leaves him feeling empty, like hasn't in a while, and he just lies staring up at the ceiling.]
((Open to interaction or network replies~))

[He tries pushing some more keys, but aside from another alert box and opening something about trains, nothing much seems to happen. He bashes the keyboard with a fist, and the door he doesn't want to go through opens up.]

... what's in there... ?

Axel. I think.

[It doesn't take a genius to sense just how tense Roxas is.]

I screwed up.

No way.

[He turns back, but there's a noticeably nervous twitch to his tail that indicates the room still unnerves him.]
Keep lookin'...
action | dream
[Roxas gets up and goes over to a strange sort of platform nearby.]
Maybe there's some kind of switch?
action | dream
[There's nothing that stands out to Rin, but it'd have to be pretty obvious for him to catch on to it.]
action | dream
[He'll just climb onto the transporter pad thing and poke around.]
action | dream
[Rin rests his sword against the console and sits down, looking at the screen for a few seconds. He starts arrowing down through files, but everything gives him error messages.]
Stupid machine... oi, you findin' anything over there?
action | dream
[Roxas is standing tip-toe looking up at the top of the thing... which he can't reach due to short.]
I think there's a beam that turns on here.
action | dream
... whoa, hey, this looks like uhm... schem-a... whatsit... but it looks like that!
[He points at the screen, then turns to point at the transporter pad]
action | dream
Can you switch that over to green? Maybe that's "on."
action | dream
[It seems arrow keys navigate around, at least to some extent. Enough that Rin can get to where Roxas is pointing. Once the cursor is over it and blinking in a little box around it, he finds what he hopes is the Enter key and hits it.]
action | dream
That did it!
action | dream
[Rin lets out a relieved laugh and gets out of the chair, going over to the transporter.]
So... now what? We just go through... ?
action | dream
[Roxas goes on ahead to step into the beam. Of course, Rin might never get the chance to follow, because escaping the fake Twilight Town seems to finally bring an end to the dream, and Roxas wakes.]
