008 Connection ✎ Video

[rewritethesky]

[It's been a while since she's really been on the network, and though she still doesn't know about Xion's panicked call from a month ago, she's been laying low in general. Little by little she's been trying to become more sociable, especially now that school  and her exams are finished.

So now she's focusing on something else, and it's come to her attention as she sits in a chair at Kahve, that it's been about a year already.]

Newcomers are coming in again. Hopefully things will be a little easy for them as they settle in.

But, I just have a question for those that have been here longer. Have your goals or dreams changed so much since you got here? Did you achieve things you never would have dreamed of?

[She's feeling sentimental, but thinking about the year she spent and all the things she's done now, it's got her thinking about other people too.]

[OR DREAM DROP DISTANCE POTENTIALLY. Something like it.]

I'll try my best.

[pullsheavendown]

[FUUUUU]

We'll be right here with you while you do.

[DON'T YOU FUU AT ME

FUU AT ME AFTER YOU PLAY THE GAME]

Thanks Roxas. I--... I appreciate that.

[pullsheavendown]

[I WILL.]

Sure.

Hey, wanna come by Kahve later? I'll make you a special drink, just for you.

[rewritethesky]

[FUFUFUFUFUFUFFUUFU~]

Something...? I don't need anything special, Roxas.

[pullsheavendown]

[AND THEN I DID]

Maybe you don't need it, but I like making stuff for my friends.

Whatever flavors you like.

[rewritethesky]

I don't even drink that much coffee or anything... [But she loves chocolatey things, secretly.]

...Thanks, Roxas.

[pullsheavendown]

It doesn't have to be coffee. There's other stuff.

Come on. If being here with you and everyone else is my dream, then I should take advantage, right?

video;

[rewritethesky]

Alright. You are right. I can be there soon.

video;

[pullsheavendown]

I'll be ready.

action;

[rewritethesky]

[And in a little while, she will be wandering into the shop, glancing around before coming up to the counter.]

Hey. [Guh, why do you need to make special things for her?]

action;

[pullsheavendown]

[Because favorite blonde sister.]

Hey. [He grins.] Wow, you got here faster than I thought. I better get started.

action;

[rewritethesky]

[Nuuuuuu.]

I can leave if you need more time. [A joke, of course. A BAD ONE.]

I didn't really have much else to do today...

action;

[pullsheavendown]

Glad I can keep you from being bored, then.

[And he'll just...grab a few things from the wall behind the counter. Flavorings, maybe whipped-cream-in-a-can, chocolate sprinkles. Stuff.]

action;

[rewritethesky]

Well, it's... different that there's no school.

[Tilting her head as she watches him.]

What are you making?

action;

[pullsheavendown]

Are you looking forward to going back?

[Oh, right.]

A sundae drink, I think. Unless you want something else.

action;

[rewritethesky]

...A little. [She doesn't sound to confident.] It's strange the things you get used to now. [She's got experience now.] Like going to school, but... it's going to be harder than before.

[A whole Sundae?!] N-no, that's okay. You're the expert on these drinks. Not me.

action;

[pullsheavendown]

That just means it's a challenge. You can take on a challenge.

[grin. it's sundae-flavored. ish. ] Well, this one's kind of experimental.

action;

[rewritethesky]

[The way she thinks about it, she feels silly in comparison to him. The others have been through challenges far worse than going to school. Her problems are far less important than some other past events.]

...I know. I know I can.

So, I'm your test subject? [She's trying to sound lighter, happier to get away from the topic of her nervousness.]

action;

[pullsheavendown]

If you want to be! I can make something less risky, but I wouldn't try this if I wasn't sure it'd be good.

[Glancing at the assembled ingredients] Pretty sure.

action;

[rewritethesky]

[She really couldn't help smiling at that, although bashfully.]

It's okay. I trust you.

action;

[pullsheavendown]

All right then. I'll give it a try.

[And so he gets to work! The specifics of the drink may be a mystery, but one thing's for sure: it's a sugar bomb.]

action;

[rewritethesky]

[Do you want a bouncing Namine, Roxas?

She stays quiet, smiling, and enjoying watching him work. But every once and a while, she'll get a little curious, trying to peek at his creation.]

action;

[pullsheavendown]

[Maaaaaybe.

It takes a few minutes, but finally he turns around, drink in hand. Not that she can tell it's a drink, because a big pile of whipped cream is in the way.]

Here you go. Give it a try.

Re: action;

[rewritethesky]

[B|

8|; What monastery of sugar have you created, Roxas? Namine tilts her head at it, just examining it for the moment.]

Alright. [And she'll just... poke the cream with a straw and start drinking.]
