just checking!

has anyone ever heard of a god's temple not letting people in? making them feel unwelcome. that kind of thing.

how do you fix it?

[cloak]

A three inch plastic stick.

I've never seen anything like it.

[doestheickyjobs]

wow, sucks to be him.

there's got to be some use, though, right? like, i don't know, maybe he breaks locks or something.

i'd have a bad attitude too if i turned into a thumbsized chunk of plastic

[cloak]

I've got weapons for that. They're just not useful in destroying ayakashi.

Can't imagine anybody'd be thrilled by it.

[doestheickyjobs]

you've got lockbreaking weapons just lying around? that seems

... weirdly specific.

guess you should try to figure out what his power is if his form's not useful, huh?

[cloak]

They can lock or unlock anything. It's not really about breaking.

[Because that makes it less weird right...]

If he were more willing to try it out, I would've by now.

[doestheickyjobs]

wait a minute, are we talking keyblades here??

[He's heard of them, of course. Hasn't everybody? He's also certain they're rare.

Sometimes, he really wishes he knew how he knew this kind of thing.]

[cloak]

You know about keyblades?

[He's careful to avoid the word "remember" just in case.

But that would be the name of the weapons he was avoiding naming]

[doestheickyjobs]

sure, they're an old story. who doesn't?

i take it that's a "yes" then huh

[cloak]

You'll find most people here have probably never heard of them.

And you're not wrong.

[doestheickyjobs]

seriously? weird. i guess the subject would come up more for you than me if they're your weapon.

where'd you pick up keyblades, anyway?

[cloak]

I've always had them.

[doestheickyjobs]

just like your coat?

talk about being born with it all, huh.

[cloak]

Just how I was made.

[doestheickyjobs]

you keep saying "made." what's the deal with that?

[cloak]

Because I was made, not born.

[doestheickyjobs]

robot?

[cloak]

No, but that's the first time anyone's guessed that.

[doestheickyjobs]

hey you could be anybody under that hood, how am i supposed to know?

[cloak]

Isn't that the point, with clothes like this?

[doestheickyjobs]

how should i know what you dress for? me, i like to stand out from the crowd.

the big coat works just as well for that around here, if you haven't noticed.

[cloak]

I don't have a particular fondness for my face.

[That's...about as much as he'll elaborate on that one. He likes the coverage, and he's comfortable with it.

Nearly a year and a half of being the only one in a world with his face didn't erase his knowledge that it was twice-borrowed]

[doestheickyjobs]

[His face? What's wrong with it? Scars? Disfigurement? Big nose? No chin?

Well, Roxas's weird insecurities aren't any of Axel's business, he guesses. The hood being pulled as tight as he keeps it at least means it's not hard to spot him.]

well okay then

fair warning if anybody else your size shows up in a coat i'm gonna tie a ribbon on you so i can tell which one you are.

[cloak]

Guess it's not impossible.

[If his original showed up. Or Xion. Those who'd been destroyed showed up routinely in this world, after all, so it wouldn't be entirely surprising]

Too bad ribbons around here probably don't guard against status ailments.

[doestheickyjobs]

aw, they don't?

at least they're still cute. got a color preference? i think you'd look good in plaid.

[cloak]

I like blue, but it doesn't especially matter what kind.
