☉ 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!)
... There was definitely something he was still missing, huh. Roxas couldn't help sighing; why did this always happen? People seemed to totally forget that there were so many things he didn't get or hadn't come across yet. He rolled his eyes and stooped down to pick up his fallen chair, setting it right again.
"I'm fine, just confused. What does eating ice cream have to do with summoning whatever all that was?"
That's when Ven realised and sighed also. He did sometimes forget, especially when he spent time with Terra and Aqua, that Roxas didn't know all the cool things you could do with a Keyblade.
"It's just powered up magic. The ice cream just makes it easier to get that particular style. Haven't you noticed that Aqua and Terra never eat Double Crunch? Or how I don't eat Royalberry? They all set off a different style but only if you actually like the flavour."
He hoped he was make sense. It was harder to explain that he expected and he wasn't about to go ask Aqua right now.
"Powered up magic... you mean like a limit break?"
That was the only kind of powered up magic Roxas was familiar with, anyway. Except that limit breaking was, pretty much by definition, way more unpleasant than just eating ice cream and suddenly finding yourself all powered up. Maybe these "styles" or whatever it was Ven was talking about were more like what Sora could do with his Keyblade now?
More to the point--
"Waaaaaait. You mean that the ice cream from this place has been magical this whole time, and this is the first time you've told me?"
