mayfield_rpg | First Phase of the Moon

[ Action 1 | 845 Goldberg Street ]

[Woken up by the loud alarm, at first glance Saïx has no idea where he is.

At second glance, he has even less idea. A normal bed, in a normal-seeming house, and certainly nowhere he's been before.

Saïx stands, intending to find the answers to two questions - one, where is he? And two, what is that sound? He's stopped by a strange feeling - at once familiar and completely unfamiliar. His hand goes to his chest, feeling something there that he's searched for for ages.]

What...?

[ Phone call ]

[Some time later, after Saïx has gotten his bearings. His voice is cool and collected, if somewhat curt.]

Any information on the changes this place enacts upon us would be appreciated.

[ Action 2 | Library ]

[Saïx can be found in the closest thing the library has to a section for medical and psychological books, an expression of irritation painting his features as he picks up book after book and finds absolutely nothing useful.]

Shaving? Who would need a book on that?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[When was he from? He needed to figure that out, and fast. With any luck at all, he was before Roxas ditched. Please. Pleasepleaseplease.]

It isn't like we can really leave, is it?

[No luck there, Roxas. Saïx's voice is distinctly displeased.]

It's certainly a surprise to find you here. I thought you'd been absorbed by... Sora.

I- Wait, what? [None at all. Roxas didn't exactly know about that, Saïx. Thanks.]

No, I was not absorbed by Sora. [Who ever the hell that was suppose to be. You know, he was really happy to not have to deal with you guys here.]

[Whoops, spoilers. Sorry, Roxas.]

You were. And yet, you're here. Interesting.

[Even with a heart, Saïx isn't all that fond of you, Roxas. You made his life hard.]

Do you have a heart as well?

No. No I was- [Wait. If people came from different times... and if Saïx was from a future point... No. Axel would have mentioned that, right? Right?]

[A little more subdued.] I wasn't... Saïx, has anyone told you that not everyone is taken from the same time?

And, yeah. You too, I take it?

No one's told me that, but it's easily enough to figure out. Particularly since you apparently haven't become part of Sora yet. [Sorry, Roxas, Saïx is here to ruin your day.]

I do. It's... different.

[Oh, he already ruined the day, now he was just making it worse.

And he's just going to ignore that last part.] Yeah, well we do. Different times. Different worlds.

...So. Mission accomplished? [Uneasy. He really didn't know how Saïx felt about all this. Especially now that he could feel. Roxas ran away from the Organization. But here they have their hearts...]

For the moment.

[Truthfully, Saïx isn't sure what to do about this new development, or how to feel about it. It was his only goal for so long. Now what is he supposed to do? But there's no chance in hell he'll ever tell Roxas any of that.]

Right. Good then.

So... are you... figuring out how this place... works? [It's not like he really wants to be the one that helps you... but Roxas knows it would suck to be confused here, especially with a new found heart.]

More or less.

[Roxas' niceness makes him deeply suspicious.]

Is there something that you think I should know?

Uhm. [Things that people probably already haven't told him... hmm...]

Don't ever drink the milk... And this place is surprisingly dangerous, don't underestimate it. [Last time Roxas did that, there were crazed cannibals chasing him and Axel and a literal nuke went off.]

Of course. No place like this could ever be as tranquil as it appears on the surface.

What's wrong with the milk?

Right...

Uh... it isn't always milk. Or it isn't always just milk. They put things in it... poison, razor-blades, spiders, glass... stuff you really don't want in there.

But not all the time, sometimes it's just milk.

Hmm. It sounds as though it would be best to stay away from it.

You're being surprisingly helpful, Roxas.

[Of course he is being helpful. He's stuck here with you. And he still has the 'impress superiors' mentality, even though he kinda... rage quit. But if you're not hunting him, this will go a lot better, thankyouverymuch.]

Yeah, I'd rather not play the hit-or-miss game.

Nnn. Yeah, well... we're all stuck here. So. Whatever.

[Just because Saïx isn't hunting you doesn't mean he likes you, Roxas. But you are a useful source of information at the moment.]

The question is how trustworthy you are.

'Scuse me?

I have little reason to trust you, since you've already proven yourself a traitor. But at the same time, there is little reason for you to lie to me.

... Feel free to try the milk if you really want to.

Do I need to point out that last time we crossed paths, I won? [He had been hoping to avoid this topic all together actually. The whole traitor business. Suppose it was to much to ask to just sweep that under the rug.]

You don't need to point that out, since it isn't exactly something that proves you're trustworthy. Quite the contrary.

Unless, of course, you plan on attempting to beat me into trusting you.
