☉ step one: choose your flavour of roxas one: early-mid Days aka "i am baby and understand nothing, but ice cream and friends are pretty rad ig??" two: mid-late Days aka "i still understand nothing, and i WILL die mad about it" three: digital Twilight Town aka "i'm?? definitely normal?? and i understand NOTHING, least of all why red sonic is following me" four: nebulous post-KH2-prologue timepoint aka "you are 99.9% likely to be using telepathy/lucid dreaming/diving around in people's heart stations to be picking this option" five: post-KH3 aka Here There Be Spoilers and also limitless possibilities six: WILDCARD aka if you're wanting some kind of AU, this is the option you wanna pick. canon divergence and crossover AUs are all fair game here! heck i'll even bring back DDD!roxas on request if you want
☉ step two: choose your scenario one: the obligatory ice cream prompt; look if you're friends with Roxas you are gonna be subjected to ice cream at least ONCE it is tradition and i do not make the rules two: in ur world, tryna be sneaky; for some reason the organisation has Business on your character's world and Roxas isn't as good at sneaking around as he thinks he is (alternatively depending on ur preferred roxas flavour: he's there for some other reason and isn't as good at pretending he's not from another world as he thinks he is) three: leeeeeeeeet's STRUGGLE; idk why you're in Twilight Town but congratulations you've shown up in time for the annual Struggle tournament!! now what? four: alriiiiiight, fight fight fight; what are we fighting?? heartless?? something else?? look either way he has 2 keyblades and he's not afraid to kick butt with them five: soft hanahaki; it's me of course there's gonna be a soft hanahaki prompt. grappling with the existential problems of being a Nobody, now with added magical realism flower petals that you apparently shouldn't even be capable of coughing up! (more about what soft hanahaki is here) six: interdimensional social media; whether you're following each other on kingdom hearts insta or there's something else going on here, congratulations, you're internet friends now seven: we live in a jamjar; obligatory insta-jamjar simulation prompt for all your "let's pretend we're in a jamjar game" needs eight: WILDCARD; hit me with whatever else your heart desires!!
☉ step three: comment and profit??? (format ur tags however u want! informal/formal/bracketspam/prose/comment spam/texting/social media/whatever tickles your fancy, i will match ur style accordingly!)
[ Roxas listens to Ven talking about all this stuff, absolutely fascinated. to someone who's had a Keyblade since the first day he came into existence, but was never actually told how to use it, the idea of being taught how to unlock all its secrets is still a weird concept to wrap his head around.
Roxas just kind of... fumbled his way through learning how to use his Keyblade. and as a result, he didn't get much farther than fighting with it and using it as a literal, albeit giant and magical, key. he doesn't even know what a life without the Keyblade would be like, but... there's so much he still doesn't know about this part of himself. ]
Hey, don't knock skateboards. You're just travelling the Lanes Between in style.
[ he grins, giving Ven a belated return nudge from earlier. but then he blinks at Ven's next tangent, knocked off-balance again. ]
She wouldn't need any warning first or anything? I think sometimes she doesn't know what to do with me when it comes to teaching stuff.
[ something about "having to think about how we can adapt the classic forms to your style". which he guesses is Master talk for "the way you use Keyblades is weird and confusing, and you're not supposed to have two of them." ]
I'm not knocking anything. I love my Glider the way it is.
[He continued to grin and finally got up, letting Chirithy sort out the remainder of the ice cream. At the comment about Aqua though, he gave his brother a disapproving look.]
Do you give warning whenever you return home? She'll be fine, you'll see.
Well... [ Roxas trails off, perhaps tellingly. then he drops his gaze to the side and mumbles: ] Sometimes.
[ it's one of the things him and Isa have come up with, as a stop-gap measure while they figure their way around each other. a heads-up for days when one or both of their moods are frayed at the edges. but - Ven doesn't need to worry about that. ]
But okay, I'll trust you. Which means it's your fault if I end up giving her a headache.
