Ennui.

[It's been a little more than a month since this Roxas's Sora disappeared, and he appeared in his place here in the Dressing Room. If he's been scarce, it's because the doubles freak him out, and he figures it's better that he lay low, hoping that Sora will reappear and he can go home. Truthfully, he's rather torn: does he really want Sora to come back to a place like this? He can't even feel Sora's heart anymore.

But he misses his home, his lovers and family, the sun and normalcy. Right now, most of all, he misses sleeping in an actual bed rather than the couch he's been occupying in Sora's room. Roxas has gathered up his blankets, stuffed puppies and a big overstuffed paopu fruit pillow, and has slipped into Sora's side of the bed in the bedroom with his headphones on and a long eclectic playlist to occupy his mind. He's also really wishing he hadn't picked up one of those fucking Cadbury eggs.]

*you may or may not be sick of seeing Ri's face by now, as he comes in with an Easter basket full of candy*

... Roxas?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*Roxas is in the form of a curled up lump -- he can't hear you, the volume on the headphones turned up so loud that you can easily hear them in the silent room*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he sets his basket down and comes closer to see if you're napping*

... don't tell me you hit the sugar crash already.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he's tapping gently in time with the beat. death metal is good. which is ironic since he's squeezing a big white stuffed puppy*

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he puts a hand on your shoulder and raises his voice*

Trying to make yourself deaf?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he sees you and pauses the music, opening his eyes which are shadowed with exhaustion*

Huh?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he notices that and gentles his expression*

I don't think going deaf will help you rest.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*Roxas closes his eyes, his Heart pounding when he feels how there's no resonation with your presence the way there was before when he was sure Sora was with him*

It clears my head.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Well, feel free to take up the bed then. I know you haven't been sleeping well on the sofa.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[there's a kid peering at you curiously, a small Easter basket carrying a pile of Peeps on his arm.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*and there's a Roxas unaware of your presence*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[... he sets his basket aside and pulls on those headphones, wondering what Roxas is listening to.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*is Sorabug a fan of death metal? if so, he questions Ri's parenting skills.*

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

[he's never heard it before, so he's actually quite bewildered. is someone beating the guy up and he's screaming? Sora climbs up on the bed and starts poking Roxas, trying to get his attention.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*it's very possible! Roxas opens his eyes, which look very tired, and focuses on Sorabug*

Hey, Sora.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Hey! That's not very good napping music.. Want me to sing you a lullaby?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*raises an eyebrow*

Who says it isn't?

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[here's someone Roxas probably hasn't seen in a while. he's poking his head in the room, glancing at Roxas and not quite registering which Roxas this is. this is obviously Ri and Sora's room, so Riku will just be coming over to tap him on the forehead]

Hey, wake up you lazy bum.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*Roxas blinks owlishly at that tapping. He should feel familiar, at least.*

Riku.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[Riku isn't as sensitive as Sora to these things after being in a place with so many different Roxai wandering around, but he does pause pause a bit]

Aren't you in the wrong room, buddy?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he sighs*

I'm in the wrong place, alright. Didn't you know? Sora got really sick or something and somehow I got transferred here to 'fill in'.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

...what?

[obviously, he didn't know. he's also looking at Roxas as though he's grown a second head.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he seems more surprised that you don't know than anything -- in his world, you two are inseparable*

You remember when he got those scars on his chest? He's still struggling with that little bit of Darkness, I guess. He is back home, too. It starts off looking like a cold or the flu, and then he just... seizes up. I guess he disappeared to heal, but doesn't explain why I'm here, and why he's been missing a month.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[it's not quite the same here, as Riku's discovered. hence, he tends to give both Sora and Ri more space. he's also been a little busy keeping an eye out for a certain blond man with fox ears.]

If he was struggling, he's gotten good at hiding it. Did anything happen back home before you two switched?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

No. No warning or anything, just... BAM, here I was. Like we switched places.
