Someone is back.

[thirteenth_brat]

[The feed opens with a view of that spot that everyone should remember from when they first arrived. Except that whoever's just arrived for this Cambot to be filming isn't there. So Cambot goes searching, finding the person in question not too far away.

It's... Roxas. He's not dressed as anyone might be expecting him to be dressed, however. Instead he's wearing a black hooded coat. He also seems a bit puzzled, like he's just woken up and is not where he was when he fell asleep. Grumbling slightly under his breath, he reaches up to rub his eyes and stops, seeming to only just notice a switch in attire. He's dressed in a black coat that would look familiar to some of his friends.]

What.

[He tugs at the front of the coat before looking around at his surroundings again.]

Is this where I think it is?

[Because really, if it is where he thinks it is, it might be a sufficient explanation for the wardrobe. With a sigh, he looks up and to one side, likes he's expecting someone or something to be there. Since this results in him looking directly into the camera, it would seem he found what he expected to find.]

Hey, Cambot.

[For its part, Cambot seems happy to see him. It would probably hug him if it could. Since it can't, it settles for performing it's usually functions.

How long was I gone?

Roxas!

[For a moment, Sora looks like he doesn't quite know what to say.]

You're...you're all right!

[thirteenth_brat]

[Well that's not a response Roxas expected.]

Yeeah, I'm fine. why wouldn't I be?

[Actually, he was slightly more concerned about Sora, since he had know way of knowing what happened after he left, but not going to go there. Of course, he doesn't even know that Sora had also vanished.]

[optimistickey]

Well, after everything that happened after I thought the test was done...and then when I got back here, Xion said you were still missing. I thought maybe...

[He almost finishes with 'were just back in my heart again,' but doesn't finish it. He pauses again.]

...And, I remember now. Everything that happened to you.

[thirteenth_brat]

I see.

[In fairness, Roxas thought that was where he was going after that memory dump.]

You left for a while too, but it sounds like you stayed away from here longer.

[optimistickey]

I'm just...I'm really sorry all that happened, Roxas. It wasn't fair.

Maybe. Everyone said it was just a few days here.

[thirteenth_brat]

No, it wasn't fair. But it's not your fault either, so why are you apologizing?

Looks like we were gone from here for the same amount of time, but... Man, will this place stop dropping weird stuff on us?

[optimistickey]

Because it feels like someone should. And I don't think the people behind it will.

I guess not until we find some way to stop it for good.

[thirteenth_brat]

It still isn't your fault.

Well, we'll figure it out eventually, right?

[optimistickey]

Doesn't mean I can't be sorry that it happened to you. [After all, now it feels like it happened to HIM, too.]

We will! We'll work it out somehow.

[thirteenth_brat]

[Roxas is just going to give up this argument.]

Eventually. So how long have you been back?

[optimistickey]

Not that long at all...not even a day.

[thirteenth_brat]

Hmm. Weird.

[optimistickey]

Yeah...I wonder if it's a connection that we left and came back here almost at the same time.

[thirteenth_brat]

It might be. But, it sounds like some other stuff happened to you in between when we talked and getting back here. I came back here pretty much right after we talked.

[optimistickey]

Oh...really?

Yeeeah...a whole lot of stuff happened after that.

[thirteenth_brat]

Do I even want to ask what happened?

[optimistickey]

I don't know if you wanna know...

[thirteenth_brat]

Somehow, I think it might be better if I took your word for it...

[optimistickey]

[Sora does not want to go over getting kidnapped, having his heart shattered, and having to have Riku come and save him. Things are okay now, and he'd rather dwell on that.]

I think so too.

[thirteenth_brat]

[Roxas already has the impression that whatever happened must have been bad. He's glad Sora got through it and seems to be okay, but now he's wondering if maybe that memory dump had an effect...]

Okay. But, if you need to talk about it...

[optimistickey]

Maybe. Just not right now.

[It's still a bit too fresh in his mind...what he can remember of it, anyway, and he'd rather not remember any of it.]

[thirteenth_brat]

Alright.

[Roxas doesn't blame him one bit. He's serious about being available to talk if needed, though.]
