someone misses his job

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[after finding a room a reasonable distance from the one he lives in and finding it unoccupied, this Roxas is now using it as a workshop. there's a mess of parts and half-assembled machinery inside, along with odd tools, visible through the half open door as he stands on a chair and nails a sign over the door with something that must be a hammer. of course this is some slow, precarious work with his lack in height, and every so often he pauses]

It would be nice to be taller.

[murmurs this during a pause, leaning back to look at the sign that reads "FOR ALL REPAIRS, INQUIRE HERE", however he leans a bit too far and ends up flailing, trying to regain balance]


[ooc: Going out in a few, but I'll reply as soon as I'm back ♥]

Being useful?

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[thud, someone's on the floor on his rear now. graceful]

Well, I thought I should at least try...

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

...Are you alright?

[fjdslj;k hurries over to help him]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[nods, looking around and picking up what's presumably a hammer]

Yes, I'm fine. I suppose I should find myself a ladder.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

...Perhaps, yes, so you do not fall.

[k-kiss to the corner of his lips]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

I'll look for one before I continue then.

[gives him a corner-smooch in return]

Are you well?

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[pleased]

Well enough, yes. How are you, aside from your ah...tumble?

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm alright. I didn't fall very far.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[smiling~]

Good.

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[smiles back]

Am I keeping you from anything?

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[headshake]

Nothing, why?

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

I found something else you might like to see when you have time.

[gets up from his seat on the floor]

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[blinks at him]

What is it?

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[aaaaalmost grins]

A surprise.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

...A surprise?

[j-just goes with it.]

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

That's right. Would you close your eyes and hold your hands out?

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[sets something that looks like a white stone with markings painted on it in Riku's hands]

Alright, cup your hands and tell it a greeting.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[........confused, but cups it]

H...hello?

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[peep, Riku's got a little birdy in his hand instead of a rock]

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

[fjlsk opens his eyes, andddddd they widen]

...It is a bird!

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[nods]

Yes, unless you tell it some parting words. That changes it back to a stone.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

Does it require food?

[unmasking.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head]

It doesn't need to eat, although it can.

[yieldingly.livejournal.com]

Will it retain its memories?
