Hands off my friends

Hi there! This is a semi-selective, independent, non-private, non-exclusive, Roxas rp blog. I can do au or canon, don't do slash, I'm over 21 and generally I'm down for whatever you wanna cook up. So come on over and chat! No set timeframe for replies. See the guidelines tag for misc rules and stuff. Due to work and life I vanish sometimes for days at a time.

It was the sound of battle that drew Roxas to the area. A fight that apparently finished up as soon as he turned the corner.

Kris brought his giant key down on the creature’s head, shattering it and sending a glowing heart flying up into the sky. He was breathing hard and had more scratches than he’d had before. “And… I think that’s it…. Great.” He let out a long sigh and leaned against his key, feeling the point digging into the dirt.

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

“Not bad” Roxas said with a approving nod. The kid would be a natural with some more practice. Roxas himself had struggled during his own forays into using magic and if he could make things easier for Kris then he’d do it.

Which means it was time for time for the not so nice part of using magic.

“Alright Kris” Roxas said “I want you to keep doing that until you run out of magic. It’s gonna suck but we need to know where your limit is right now. That and casting gets easier the more you do it”

[heartoftheinbetween]

Kris tilted his head, but complied. After a few moments his eyebrows knit together and he started feeling light headed. “I Uh….” He rubbed his hand against his forehead, fighting off a headache. “I think it’s done….” He felt a little loopy, but kept his hand steady.

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

“Cool” Roxas nodded approvingly “So that sucky drained feeling? That’s called magical exhaustion and if you get like that I’m a fight you’ll probably get killed.”

Which had happened to him several times actually

“So make sure to carry ethers on you at all times and be careful when casting healing magic. It zaps your magic faster than any other kind.”

Which was why Roxas was complete garbage at using cure magic and his style of fighting was “hit them hard and fast before they can hit you”. Which sounded risky but actually got him results more often than not.

@oathkeeper13th liked for a starter!

Now, what was that awful sound!?

It wasn’t a heartbeat, no, not any regular one. Did a blasted Nobody get inside somehow!? Ienzo snarled under his breath, looking around for the source. The papers once carefully folded were crumbled in his arms, clawed hands grasping. Into the shadows he went, stalking the sound with the fury only a tired Heartless could muster.

“Reveal yourself, it’s only you and me!” Ienzo declared, a barrier rising. “I can smell you, Nobody!”

“You’ve woken me up, don’t expect civility.”

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

Huh. Well that made two of them then.

“Maybe you should meet him” Roxas said “I don’t know about any ancient keyblade wielders but his name is definitely Ventus”

The nobody shivered, a chill going down his spine at Ienzo’s reaction. If this really was the case and Ven was old as dirt..then unsettling was the perfect word for it. It also caused Roxas’s irritation at the whole thing grow even stronger than it already was.

He caught enough shit for being the nobody of Sora, a very important key bearer. Who knew what people would go on about, how they’d target him, if they knew he was basically the twin of some ancient fairy tale key bearer!

[perception-of-heart]

“Meet him? Roxas, if he really is an old Keyblade weilder, he’d kill me on sight! You seem to forget, I’m what they call…” He paused, a bit of a growl and hiss coming out of him. A bit of a baffled laugh left Ienzo. Did Roxas not understand what that implied? Or was he just acting naive?

He was a Heartless. As unfortunate as it could be to some, that was his life. There wasn’t anything he could do about it, but would Ven care? No. Of course not! He was ancient, he’d know better than to leave a talking Heartless alive! Reclining with a groan, white coated arms slid to hold him. Another illusion, it seemed. The figment had a smug aura about it.

“Roxas, that’s an ancient Keyblade Weilder, and I’m a Hearltess. I’m not the most well versed in history, but… I think I’d get vaporized for, saying hello.”

The smug illusion patted his head.

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

“Well yeah, normally that would be true” Roxas admitted

Slaying heartless with the keyblade was pretty much it’s primary purpose. Any regular keybearer would strike quickly upon realizing what Ienzo was.

However...

“Ventus is a lot like Sora in all the ways that matter” Roxas said “I’m pretty sure they have some kind of connection but I’m fuzzy on the details. But anyway he would never kill you first ask questions later unless you were a threat to the innocent. Which I’m pretty sure your not, claws aside”

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

“Which means you probably don’t know magic yet either” Roxas nodded. It was about what he expected. Okay.

“I can show you a few things if you want” the blonde offered. He couldn’t very well just leave this newbie to get killed by a darkside or something similar. It wouldn’t even take too long.

[heartoftheinbetween]

Kris gasped, grinning widely. “Magic? Like magic magic?” He leaned forward, bouncing on the balls of his feet. “Would you? That’d be so cool!”

Kris couldn’t believe this. He’d always had a love for magic, and the idea of actually learning some made all his worries fall away. Excited jitteres came to life in his stomach and he couldn’t stop smiling.

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

“Yup, magic magic” Roxas confirmed. He held out his hand, smiling a little at Kris’s obvious enthusiasm. He would get along with Sora and Ven pretty easily, Roxas figured. There was a spark and a flame popped to life in Roxas’s palm, dancing merrily.

[heartoftheinbetween]

Kris’s eyes sparkled as he watched the fire come to life. He leaned forward, eyeing the fire in Roxas’s hand. “How’d you do that…?” He breathed, looking up at him.

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

“Oh its simple” Roxas replied with a grin “you just dig into your magic and pull some out”

Not that digging into your magic pool was particularly easy at first. The opposite actually, it was a pain in the ass.

“Alright” Roxas said “so first thing you’ve gotta do is dig deep inside yourself. Everyone has a wellspring of power inside of them and the goal here is to figuratively stick your hand in it. Just close your eyes and soul search”

[heartoftheinbetween]

Kris frowned, but closed his eyes. It was dark… and… he felt something pulling at him. He followed the feeling and found a small well, filled with an off white, shimmering something. He brushed his fingers through it, then pushed his hand deeper.

In the physical world, small sparkles danced across Kris’s fingers, swirling around his hand and up his wrist. Then small snow crystals formed, floating above his hand.

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

“Nice job” Roxas praised him “it should be easy to touch now, second nature.” He looked around the room. From the looks of it Kris would be able to do a solid blizzard spell. Now he just needed something to freeze...aha!

“Okay so that barrel over in the corner there” Roxas pointed at it “Focus on that, dig into your magic and thrust your hand at it. It should result in you casting your very first spell”

“You’ve woken me up, don’t expect civility.”

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

“I appreciate it” Roxas said, a little surprised by the warmth he could hear in Ienzo’s voice, he didn’t seem quite the type for such things. Not that the man MEAN or anything of the sort of course “I’ll be sure to let you know if anything comes up”

Luckily Roxas’s life has been rather peaceful as of late. At the moment he couldn’t think of anything for Ienzo to do. Which was just as well, Roxas was tired of his life being complicated and didn’t want this new peaceful life to end anytime soon.

[perception-of-heart]

The doctor got right to condensing the light within the boxes. There was a warmth in his smile, but yet, his gaze was stone cold. It wasn’t like he could help it, at least not without illusions. He really was trying to be inviting. The need for intimidation often outweighed the need for civility for him, so to be so calm around someone felt almost nostalgic in a way.

It brought an old memory to mind.

His expression dulled for a moment. “You know, I recall someone a lot like you came to Radiant Garden once. It was years ago, but I don’t exactly think you were around then.” Ienzo mulled over the odd memory in his head for a bit.

“If I recall, they were incredibly old, despite their looks. Though, I doubt that’s fully true, my memory isn’t any good.”

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

Roxas looked at him in confusion. He had certainly never set foot in Radiant Garden ten years ago. In fact technically Roxas was less than five biologically. So Roxas could confidently say he wasn’t around back in those days. But. He knew who was.

“Was it Ventus you’re thinking of?” Roxas asked, a bit of an edge to his voice “We look alike”

Roxas didn’t know Ventus very well, but he was the only one that fit the bill. Ventus had tried to get in touch once or twice, but Roxas generally avoided him. Not that he had anything against the boy, but Roxas had fought hard to be an individual, his own man. Hanging around someone like Ven made it feel like that fight was all for nothing.

Happiness Can Be Found In The Darkest Of Times - @oathkeeper13th

The trip from her hometown to King’s Cross Station had already been a long one, having to catch a variety of trains and buses just to get to the station in time. Of course, she’d accrued odd looks throughout her journey, a young girl travelling alone with a large suitcase, almost bigger than she was herself, and a tiny white cat in a carrier hooked over her shoulder.

She didn’t blame the muggles for staring at her, she knew she looked odd, even in her most muggle clothes.

But as a muggleborn, her parents had no way of getting her to the station any easier, they couldn’t apparate with her, they couldn’t use the Floo network to get her any closer… the responsibility had fallen onto her own eleven year old shoulders.

And thankfully, she had made it, nerves twisting in her gut as she stared up at the wall with Platform 9 on one side, Platform 10 on the other.

This was it from what she’d been told, just through this wall she’d be at the station in order to get on the Hogwarts Express. 

But now she was here, face to face with the reality of the situation, the anxiety was almost too much to handle. Her watch said it was 10:30am, she still had half an hour to get the will together.

And so, she continued to stare at the wall, ignoring the mutterings of muggles around her, trying to will the courage to take that step through. 

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

It was finally the day.

Roxas had been looking forward to Hogwarts ever since he was little and his aunt started telling him stories about her time in the castle. Everything about being a wizard just screamed amazing and now that the blonde had his wand, trunk full of supplies and toad (he had WANTED an owl but allegedly they were stupid expensive) he really felt like one.

As a pureblood Roxas had spent his life in the wizarding world but he had never really felt apart of it. He didn’t show an ounce of magical talent until just last year when he fell of a roof and popped somewhere else to avoid breaking bones. Until that moment, Roxas had been half convinced that he was a squib of all things and he didn’t know if he could deal with something like that.

It was 10:30 and Roxas rolled up to platforms 9 and 10, a blonde girl about his age already there. Did she not know how to enter?

“It’s a secret entrance you know” he said as he drew near “that wall between 9 and 10 isn’t exactly a wall. You walk through it and the Hogwarts Express is right on the other side”

New Hire - @oathkeeper13th

The flower shop Naminé ran had just been getting busier and busier over the passing months. What she used to be able to handle alone quite happily and easily was turning into a monster, sucking her work-life balance away from her.

Granted, she knew owning a shop alone was never going to be easy, and part of that was it was going to become her life, but a limit had been reached recently.

Only a few hours of sleep each night, due to being up so early to catch up with all the ordered arrangements, order in fresh flowers, and prepare the shop for its usual opening time. Working in the shop all day with little to no break, just a quick bite here and there when she got a spare few minutes. Closing down the shop and cleaning after not having chance to clean as she went during the busy day, and then staying up until the early hours of the morning, unpacking deliveries and packaging up deliveries to go out safely to her clients.

It was becoming overwhelming, and so Naminé decided it was finally time to get someone in who could help. Not come in early or stay late, just to take a bit of pressure off her shoulders so she could do those things she normally didn’t have time to do until the shop was closed.

It started with an advert in the local paper that quickly got answered, and although Naminé hadn’t met her new helper yet, they were due to start today, in fact, they were due to arrive any second to begin their shift.

So Naminé walked to the door, turned the sign to ‘Open’, and waited for customers or her new colleague to enter while she arranged some wedding bouquets in the corner.

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

Roxas, as he would tell most who asked, didn’t know anything about working in a flower shop. He couldn’t tell you about any rose that wasn’t red, he didn’t know what emotions went with what colors and any bouquet he was in charge of would literally be any bright looking flower he could get his hands on shoved together.

But he was willing to learn about all these things. Not really out of a love for them, but because it was different. Because flowers didn’t hurt people and he knew as soon as he saw the ad this was the change of pace he needed in his life. To be frank it was a miracle he even got the job to start with! It probably meant the shop owner was desperate for help and Roxas would be thrown to the wolves from day one. Which he was NOT looking forward to.

But, this was what he signed up for after all.

So Roxas stepped into the shop, dressed for success in a nice blue dress shirt and black pants.

“Hello?” Roxas called out “I’m uh, here for my first shift?”

[heartoftheinbetween]

It was the sound of battle that drew Roxas to the area. A fight that apparently finished up as soon as he turned the corner.

Kris brought his giant key down on the creature’s head, shattering it and sending a glowing heart flying up into the sky. He was breathing hard and had more scratches than he’d had before. “And… I think that’s it…. Great.” He let out a long sigh and leaned against his key, feeling the point digging into the dirt.

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

“Which means you probably don’t know magic yet either” Roxas nodded. It was about what he expected. Okay.

“I can show you a few things if you want” the blonde offered. He couldn’t very well just leave this newbie to get killed by a darkside or something similar. It wouldn’t even take too long.

Now, what was that awful sound!?

It wasn’t a heartbeat, no, not any regular one. Did a blasted Nobody get inside somehow!? Ienzo snarled under his breath, looking around for the source. The papers once carefully folded were crumbled in his arms, clawed hands grasping. Into the shadows he went, stalking the sound with the fury only a tired Heartless could muster.

“Reveal yourself, it’s only you and me!” Ienzo declared, a barrier rising. “I can smell you, Nobody!”

“You’ve woken me up, don’t expect civility.”

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

Roxas wasn’t sure either. Long enough to help Ienzo with his problems at least. It wasn’t like he had any pressing responsibilities right now anyway. Taking on of the boxes, Roxas began to focus. Once again it began to glow as he slowly but surely filled it with light.

“Will four or five be enough?” He asked. Thanks to helpful ethers he could for sure do that.

[perception-of-heart]

“Yes, that’d be wonderful! As long as I’m not too careless with eating them, that should last me long enough.” Ienzo was more than content with that. Even if he ran out, he could make some himself with a bit of effort. Hopefully, though, it wouldn’t have to come to that. Gently, the young man moved a few of the old lab coats. Careful hands hung them up, almost longingly holding them.

“Hm. Why do smells stick around so long? It’s like they’re still occupied. It’s strange.” The man paused. “Ah, that doesn’t sound creepy, does it!?”

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

Well yeah, maybe a little. Smells generally weren't talked about in that context.

"No, it's fine" Roxas said aloud. Even so, no reason to be rude. "Smells do like to...linger"

He continued his work, slowly but surely filling the bottles and drinking his ethers when he needed to. It took a bit of time, but soon five bottles shined merrily on the table, ready for consumption or study. Roxas smiled triumphantly.

“We are gathered here today”

[waywardwiind]

@oathkeeper13th liked for a starter!

Ventus finds himself in Twilight Town. The entire group was planning on stopping by at some point soon, but it looks like he was one of the first to arrive. There was no better place for ice cream, and it had been a while since the larger friend group had been in one place.

Still, he wasn’t the only early arrival, it seemed. He turns, standing in tram common, to notice someone who looks… Strikingly like him. As usual, he blinks just a bit. It never stopped being a little strange… But still, he smiles, waving to the former Nobody.

“Hey!! Roxas! Long time no see, huh??”

[oathkeeper13th-blog]

"Yeah, he did the same for me and Xion" Roxas nodded. He didn't know about 'really cool' but yeah, it was like they were twin brothers and switching places would be amusing.

"The whole switching places thing would be pretty funny" he agreed aloud "It'd be a great prank"

He imagined someone like Aqua or Axel would know right away that they had switched but that'd be it.
