Who: Roxas
Broadcast: Fleet-wide, accidental.
Action: Deck of the Tourist
When: 1/24 - as the shuffle sets in


[The feed cuts in to the arrival fanfare. The feed watches a blond boy lay on the floor of the Tourist, covered in confetti, asleep with his face in the plate of celebratory pudding.

The fanfare does not wake him.

The pudding does not wake him.

Someone should probably wake him.]

[ wait what ]

Rox....as?

[ SO??? MANY??? QUESTIONS??? ]

[zzzz

[c'mon man that's no way to wake a guy up]

[wilder]

[He stares at that feed for a long bit.]

Is...he alive?

Video

[journeybroken]

[it cuts after a minute, and another minute later it comes back. he is very much still pudding-covered.]

... Yes?

[oh god he looks so confused and embarrassed]

action / not here??

[misconceived]

[ That, uh... that looks not good. Chris is checking a few things, such as where the transmission is coming from, then shimmers off. He's on the Tourist a few seconds later and is just turning the kid over with a hand to his pulse.

After he's satisfied the blond derp of some amazing caliber is still alive, he shimmers back out. GOOD DEED DONE FOR THE DAY: CHECK. ]

not here

[journeybroken]

[chris why]

[he's going to wake up and vaguely remember this]

[got_it_memorized]

[Axel's not sure what to think about being the captain. Isn't that a lot of, you know, responsibility? He's not sure he's down with that. On the other hand, it means people would have to listen to him, which is always useful. He guesses he can give it a try for a while, anyway--it's better than taking orders from someone else.

[He really wants a cool hat or something, though.

[As he traipses the halls, feeling pretty pleased with himself, he happens to notice a familiar-looking figure slumped on the floor. Is that...?]

Roxas? [Okay, he hadn't expected to find Roxas here, but if Sora and Riku are here he guesses anything's possible. But... why is Roxas on the floor? A little concerned, he drops to a crouch beside him, tilting his head at what looks like pudding smeared across his face. There's also confetti all over him. Some is stuck in the pudding. Roxas kind of looks like he lost a fight with a birthday party. Axel can see he's breathing, so he's not especially worried, and actually just starts laughing. He remembers the confetti and the pudding from his own arrival, but this just takes the cake. Or the pudding, as it were.

[He just starts laughing, then reaches down and shakes Roxas' shoulder.]

Oi. Roxas. Roxas, wake up, you lunkhead. Are you okay?

[journeybroken]

[The laughter is what starts to wake him, and his eyes are opening when Axel grabs his shoulder. He yelps at first, rubbing furiously at his face which... honestly just smears the mess around.]

Oh, eww, what?!

[He's staring at his pudding-covered hands now, and then around the hall.]

What's going on here?

video

[devilsinthedetails]

[Oh hey, it's someone new which means demon time. And awww, he's adorable sleeping in the pudding. Which makes him almost decide not to be terrible, but no he's doing it, nothing can stop him.

So don't mind Cole taking in a huge breath and bellowing:] LOOK OUT IT'S GOING TO EAT YOU

video

[journeybroken]

WHA?!

[He bolts upright, flinging pudding... well, everywhere. He's freaking out. The frantic, flailing, "GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF" kind of freaking out. Good job, Cole.]

action

[not_mafia]

[Oh, that annoying music and confetti must mean there's someone new on the ship! hopefully he's not as terrifying as the last one. Huh, wasn't this kind of thing supposed to happen on Friday?

Well, whatever, he guesses. He comes around the corner (albeit hesitantly) and peers...

...there is... someone on the floor.

...]

... are they dead?

[No, no, they wouldn't start randomly dropping corpses in their ships. WOULD THEY? For a moment he just kind of hovers uncertainly like he's hoping someone else will come along and deal with this.

Several minutes pass. No one else is around. Tsuna even cautions a Hey, is there anyone around?, but he gets no answer because of course no one else is around to deal with this awkward situation. No one but him.]

...erk...

[This better not actually be a dead body or else Tsuna is going to flip his shit. Slowly... comes over...]

H-hey...

[nicely done pilot]

action

[journeybroken]

[Roxas grimaces in his sleep, starting to wake at the sound of Tsuna's voice. He brings his hand up, and that's when he feels the pudding. He jerks upright, just enough to hold himself above the pudding, and as it drips into the pile beneath him, he just freezes.]

...

...

...

What...?

[magiktouch]

[ Oh if only Tsuna and Axel were the only ones to greet Roxas upon arrival. He's not so lucky as to be granted a moment's peace, let alone one of solitude. As soon as the fanfare and confetti and pudding has all died down (or been washed off), Clay decides he's had enough of having a general look-see about the ship and finds fit to seek out his new crew mates...starting with one blonde in particular.

It doesn't matter what sort of state he's in (or where), Clay's going to make his way over and hover in the nearest doorway, a look of intrigued and amusement on his face. ]

You're shorter than you feel.

[At this point, Roxas is in the bunk room, fussing with his coat. When he hears the voice, it doesn't register what's being said for a second. The rest of the thoughts are taking up the processing space on their way to the back of his mind. When they catch up, it's been a couple seconds past the average reaction time.]

... What?

[Smooth.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[...that seems... wrong. maybe he should... yeah.]

...Oy, kid!

video;

[journeybroken]

[oh god what]

Whuh--ah?!

[He jerks up out of the pudding and stares down at it with the eye that isn't covered in it.]

What?

Video

[hearsthesea]

[Shirley definitely knows (and dates) a guy like this, so before using the communicator she just sighs to herself. Based on her experience any attempt to wake him up has a fifty-fifty chance of actually getting him up, but maybe it's worth a shot.]

Hello? You really should wake up.

Video

[journeybroken]

[Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be enough to wake him! The feed cuts after another few seconds, and when it comes back, Roxas is wet, but alive. Seems a shower has happened in the time he was gone.]

... Uh, hi.

video;

[catamite]

[he stares for a little bit, just watching in morbid fascination.

until he finally leans away from the screen, maybe to call to a crewmate...]

...Hey! Can those teleport things kill people??

video;

[journeybroken]

[Someone seems to be stirring, and lifting their hand... and smearing more pudding around, whoops.]

action;

[limitstorm]

[ he'd just needed to talk to lea about what happened in the magical forest, it was nothing big, so he'd taken the shuttle to the tourist without a second thought.

he lands a little while after the broadcast--likely after roxas is awake, catching up on the network and he realizes... that video. he knows that face, and riku can't help but dread. sora and he were from a time in the future, but was roxas? axel wasn't. what if he was from before, what if he was from...

no, he can't keep thinking about 'what if's! he has to find axel and get out of here. just... where is he? as he walks through the ship, he's trying to be cautious, but there's not much he can do when he feels roxas' presence little ahead. welp.

maybe if you stand still he won't notice you? ]

action;

[journeybroken]

[Oh, how wrong you are, friend.

[Roxas does notice him, because he's coming out of the bunk room, following a tiny cleaning droid out of curiosity. But there Riku is in the hall, and that's enough to make him freeze. He looks different. His hair is shorter... but it's him. Axel and Sora both mentioned Riku being here, so he's not as surprised to see him as he could be.]

... What are you doing here?

[It's a fair enough question, to start. The warning doesn't stop him from being tense, though.]

Action!

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris is not all too happy with this teamwork business. He already has a team, one he's worked with for years. Suddenly being dumped amongst a bunch of strangers is not a welcoming experience for him.

Unsurprisingly, when he finds Roxas passed out in a pile of pudding and confetti, he is less than impressed. He makes a disgusted noise, before nudging the prone body with his foot. If this one is dead, he wants the corpse for his armory. For aesthetic,]

Action!

[journeybroken]

Mm?

[The contact is enough to start waking him, but only lightly.]

... Huh..?

[His eyes start to open. Well, one does. The other is pudding'd shut.]

What the... [Oh, time to start sitting up.] What is this?

[aberrant_type]

[She just watches this for a while.......]

... Impressive.

[journeybroken]

[Oh, he's stirring!]

Mm..?

[... wait. Time to slowly rise out of the pudding... and wipe it off of his face. Someone looks very tired and confused.]
