Rest

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[part of learning to access one's full ability as a Nobody involves learning to summon and commandeer an army of lesser Nobodies to do his bidding or busywork. in Roxas's case, his "army" includes a single Samurai Nobody named Pokey, and his "bidding" involves Pokey hanging around while he naps.]

[so there's a Samurai very awkwardly holding a slightly snoring, tiny Roxas in its arms as it wanders down the hall -- watch out for the ends of its arms; they're very pokey.]

*well this is something you don't see every day*

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[it really isn't. Pokey doesn't seem keen to drop Roxas, at least, still making its way down the hall.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he has to get into Pokey's way then*

What are you doing with Roxas?

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[the only answer Ri gets is what appears to be a blank gaze from Pokey, and a slight snore from Roxas.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

What are you doing carrying him around like that? He should be laying down in a bed for his nap.

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[Pokey tilts its head at that -- it's only following orders! it reaches out its arm very slightly, Roxas still in its grip, and pokes Ri in retaliation.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

............. did you just poke me?!

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[Pokey draws its arm back ... then pokes Ri again. there's a reason its name is Pokey.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he frowns and pokes Pokey back then*

Hand Roxas over to me. I'll make sure he sleeps properly.

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[Pokey draws itself back protectively -- sorry, strict orders! Pokey is to keep Roxas away from his Other while he naps.]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*blinks at that*

I know you've seen me before. I take care of Roxas.

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[Pokey is not sure how to explain, so it does the natural thing and pokes Ri again. does Ri understand Nobody speak?]

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*not really, but he understands Darkness*

Okay okay fine. You're holding onto him for some reason. He can sleep better lying down, and you can just watch over him.

[memory-forger.livejournal.com]

[Pokey should watch out where he's going. She just got poked by his arms.]

What--

[....well this is. unusual.]

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[Pokey glides out of the way, sorry if you get poked again. it shifts Roxas awkwardly in its arms.]

[memory-forger.livejournal.com]

Wait.

[she's used to lesser Nobodies, so talking to them is quite normal. peers at Roxas, then back at Pokey. this doesn't look safe. she's not worried POkey will harm roxas. More like either he'll get attacked or Pokey might drop him]

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[stops, and turns to face Namine. Roxas is snoring sort of loudly.]

[memory-forger.livejournal.com]

Did he ask you to carry him?

[assuming Pokey knows to nod or shake his head]

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[Pokey bows its head in a slow nod. actually, Roxas had asked it to make sure no one (meaning his Sora) got too close while he napped. carrying Roxas around seemed like a logical way of doing this.]

[memory-forger.livejournal.com]

Just to be safe that no random Keyblade Master attacks you though thinking you're attacking him, stick with me.

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[Pokey slinks over to her side, and pokes her lightly. since there's two of them, maybe Namine would prefer to carry Roxas while it goes off to make sure Sora isn't anywhere nearby.]

[memory-forger.livejournal.com]

[did that poke meant it wanted to hand Roxas over?]

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[yes. Pokey is trying to awkwardly plop Roxas in her arms now.]

[memory-forger.livejournal.com]

[getting the kid then.]

[crackersnjacks.livejournal.com]

[Namine is much more comfortable than Pokey; Roxas nuzzles his face into her shoulder and resumes snoring peacefully.]
