A lack of CP is a terrible thing

[This tiny Replica is sitting on the floor of a common room, mostly out of the way of everyone else. It is busy peering at the tidy number of Cards laid out on the floor in front of it, arranged by number. It is arranging and re-arranging them, trying to find the best Sleights it can with its limited abilities.

... it's also been at this for hours, and yawns a bit.]

Maybe if I use a 2-2-2 here... and a 0 there... wait. Hmm.

[well, that's caught the attention of this ice cream eating Roxas, who's wandering over with a vaguely curious look.]

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

*it is now trying to stuff as many high-numbered card as it can... and isn't doing very well since it keeps running out of CP*

... but I want this 6... and another 0.

[crouches down by him, staring at the cards. omnom ice cream.]

What are you doing?

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

*is startled and nearly drops the cards in its hand, blinking at you*

I'm... I'm organizing my deck, XIII.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

[hm! he isn't normally called that, so he tilts his head.]

Why did you call me that?

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

... because that's who you are.

*it's like a convention of derp up in here*

[nods, absently licking his lip when the nodding makes his ice cream bump into it.]

Most people just call me Roxas.

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know. You're Number XIII, Roxas, The Key of Destiny.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

You can just call me Roxas... XIII sounds strange to me now.

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

Why is it strange? It's your name.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

No it's not. My name is Roxas. XIII is a... title? Something like that.

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

It's still sort of a name. You should be happy about being important enough to have a name.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

Would I be different if I didn't have one...?

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

I think so. Maybe. I don't have a name, but that's because I'm not finished yet.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

[just looks at him, confused.]

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

Creator -- Number IV -- made me. I'm a Replica.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

Oh. IV... I don't really remember any of them.

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

You don't? Why not?

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

When I came here, I was only a couple days old.

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's really young!

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

I'm around three months old now, I think.

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

I think I'm over a year old now. But I was only a month when I showed up here.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

Do you age?

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

Of course. But it doesn't matter since I'm not finished yet.

[whatisseasalt.livejournal.com]

Why doesn't it matter?
