{day 1} ☂ action/accidental video.

Okay...  [ She gave the cat a skeptical eye. ]  Look, I don't really need anything, I just need to-- You know what, forget it.

[ The place apparently had it's queens and felines, but this was no Wonderland, and Roxas wasn't about to ask the cat for anything anytime soon (whom, thankfully, didn't seem to talk in riddles).  She had more important things to do-- like finding Xion.  And though her original destination was supposed to be Beast's Castle, it couldn't hurt to look around. ]

[ It was weird to find herself in different garments, and how it happened was a complete mystery to Roxas.  But pondering would be a waste of searching time, so she quickly changed back into her Organization coat (she would need it for the dark corridor traveling, after all) and looked around. 

A Garden, was right.  And it really was just that.  Lots of leafy greens and the like...  It really did look nice.  What really caught her attention, though, was an awfully familiar looking tower a few leagues away. ]

That's...!  The clock tower from Twilight Town.  But, how?!

[ video. ]
[ She took a cautious step back, unknowingly brushing her foot against the vines, causing the strange mechanism to turn on-- broadcasting her astonished countenance and stiffened form to other unknown persons.  So much for stealth priorities.  Saix would be very proud. ]

[Seeing Roxas all a-fluster will amuse Larxene quite a lot, though she's wondering why the munchkin seems to be a she, now, but so is Sora, and so is everyone, so perhaps she'll have to deal.]

You didn't think you were bereft of me, did you, Roxas? How could I leave my favorite little pal all alone~

But they said you were--

[ She momentarily pauses, remembering back when she thought Axel had been erased, then popped out of nowhere like a ghost during one of her missions. Maybe, it was the case for Larxene, too...? Though, that wouldn't explain why she didn't come back to the Organization like he did. ]

Well, uh, I guess... it's good you're here? [ probably? ] But why didn't you come back to castle, then?

Dead? Gone forever? Surely you should know better than that.

[The fact that it's true, that she was on the verge of breaking away into the nothingness is utterly irrelevant, if you ask her. The fact is, she's here, now, totally intact and fine, and that's what's important. Well. Intact for a Nobody.]

Of course it's good~ Ah, I can't go back, I'm stuck here, silly thing. Just like you are, now.

I suppose. [ Not that it wasn't good to see a comrade alive and, well... still a Nobody, but considering it was Larxene, somehow, Roxas wasn't so sure she was entirely thrilled to see her again.

She did tell her to bash her head against the glass before... ]

Wait, what do you mean by "stuck". Can't we just use the dark corridors like always?

You only suppose, Roxas? That's not a very nice way to talk to your superior. [And Larxene's tone is instantly sharper, colder, probably a lot more like what Roxas is used to, really.]

Trust me, I tried. Nothing happens. The portals just won't open. I can't summon any lesser Nobodies, either. We're all alone, you and me.

I was just surprised, okay? No one from C.O. came back, except for Axel.

[ The other's tone of voice was also surprising, and she tensed up, staring at her dubiously. Roxas had a strong hunch XII was sadistic, but this took the cake. She'd have to be careful of wording around her... Whip-lashing from Saix was already enough. ]

...Are you serious? Can they really break just like that?

[volticcrush.livejournal.com]

[For a moment Larxene hesitates, if only a moment. It is more weakness than she usually ever shows.] No one?

I didn't say they broke, pip squeak, just that they're not working. I've heard that this place is...tricky like that.
