beside the main campfire, late saturday evening

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

It's late Saturday evening, and Roxas is kind of sitting there reading a book in the dim fading light.

Or, it looks like he's reading a book anyway. The book's open a little less than halfway, and his eyes are on the page.

But they're not really moving. He almost looks like he's asleep with his eyes open, except that he occasionally blinks.

Someone's distracted.

"I thought that irritating the locker that sucks people into alternate dimensions might not be wise," Mac said picking up a stick and poking at the slowly dying fire. "And, spitting is pretty disgusting, anyway."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

"It is. But I meant, the legwarmers. Did you keep them or throw them back or run away from them?"

He'd probably run away from the legwarmers. Pure evil.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"I just kinda left them there," Mac admitted. "In retrospect, I should've kept them. Could've come in useful for something."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

"Maybe the locker'll give you more when the school re-opens."

He chews his lip for a minute.

"What happened to the school, anyway?"

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Mmm, aliens. They blew it up a couple of weeks back," Mac replied. She glanced over at him. "I wish I could tell you I was kidding."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

"Aliens blew up the school. Seems like a completely reasonable explanation," he said, on the verge of faceplanting with disbelief into the fire or dying with laughter. "God, wait 'til I tell my parents about this when I get home."

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"It's probably a good thing my parents don't know the half of what does down here," Mac said with a chuckle. "Would probably give my mom an aneurism."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I don't think my mum'd take it too well, either. Aliens, crazy lockers, me staying up past midnight," he says, and grins at her.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Some things are just best kept to yourself," Mac agreed. "Mine already know I stay up until well past midnight, though."

"Where's home for you, anyway?"

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

"At home, I'm in bed by eleven, most nights."

Especially when he has school the next morning.

"I live in Twilight Town. Which most people have never heard of, and I have no idea how to get there," he admits. "Which is why I'm glad I've got a guide to take me home again when I leave."

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Not one I've heard of, either," Mac admitted with a slight shrug. "That's not unusual, though. There are people from so many different dimensions it's kinda difficult to keep up with them all."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

"It's the dimension thing I find weird," he says, making a gesture to the sky. "Different worlds, different timelines, alternate universes? It's all very sci-fi, and just kinda..."

Another gesture, and he shrugs.

"Weird."

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"You'll get used to it," Mac told him with a chuckle. "Trust me."

"... or, I guess not used to it," she amended. "But you certainly come to just accept it."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

"Heh, I hope so," replies with a laugh. "Otherwise I might have to go home in a nice white jacket with long arms."

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac arched an eyebrow at him. The requirement of a white jacket totally lost on her. "Why's that?"

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

Okay, that stumps him.

"Um. If I don't get used to it, I'll probably go crazy from it?" he offers helpfully.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no. No one's gone crazy from it that I know of," Mac reassured him. "You'll be fine."

She smiled at him, as she stood up again. "Think it's cabin time for me," she said poking the stick she'd been holding into the fire. "Should at least try for an early night and my mun is waay sleepy."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

"That's good to know," he replies with a grin, and stands as she stands, nodding. "Yeah, I'll probably go once my own mun's decided that 2.30am is far too late I've read a few more pages."

Or, once he's stared at the book for a while longer.

"I'll see you later."

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. In class at the very least." Mac grinned back. "G'night," she added, giving him a quick wave before she wandered off back towards Phoenix.

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

He waves back, and then sits back down to attempt to read more of his book. Or some of his book. Or just to stare at the fire a while more.

[OOC: Hee, thankee for thread :D Much fun. Should sleep. Can't be bothered XD Sweet dreams to you!]
