[Roxas' expression is fairly cross today and he's surrounded by papers, a notebook and a couple of textbooks, but one of them is closed with more papers sticking out of it, as though it's just been slammed shut unceremoniously. Because it has.]

You know, I tried to follow the rules and do school the way they want us to here, because that's the normal thing to do and they gave me a place to live and all, but I'm done

[He tosses down a pencil.]

It's stupid. They said I missed too many days last spring, so I had to do a grade over. But I'm not learning anything new! It's just the same stuff! They want us to come be heroes but then we can't decide for ourselves where to be or what's worth learning if they don't think we're old enough? I quit.

[Roxas Nolastname, high school dropout.]

I guess I might need a second job now. Anyone hiring?

Oh, and uh, hi, new people. This world is all right aside from the school stuff. Hopefully most of you won't have to bother with it.

[He waits for Riku to say something more, but when he doesn't....uh, okay. Huh.]

Don't feed them bacon. That would be pretty messed up.

[resipiscent]

[This makes him laugh, though, and he shakes his head.]

I'm not quite that cruel. Though he does like roast beef.

[oathkeeping]

Don't get a cow for your next pet, then.

[resipiscent]

I think I'd give Kang an aneurysm, so no.

[oathkeeping]

Definitely avoid it, then.

[resipiscent]

Yeah. Honestly, I don't think I could handle more than two pets anyway. Kind of got a lot of irons in the fire.

[oathkeeping]

Even here? I would have thought you could relax for once.

[resipiscent]

Well, it's fairly normal stuff, so I don't mind so much. Bart left, so I've picked up his slack, and I teach swimming at the training place in Nonah. And then I try to hang out with Minato fairly frequently, even though he has this ridiculous social schedule. I go to the beach to work out like three times a week, too. [That's the nice thing about Heropa for him, is the beach is right there. And even though it's November, it hasn't gotten any colder at all there.]

[oathkeeping]

That's still a lot less than running around trying to save the worlds.

[resipiscent]

Yeah, it is. Though Sora did a lot more of that than I did. It's... kinda nice to have just regular stuff to do, though.

[oathkeeping]

To be a normal person again?

[resipiscent]

Uh, I don't think I'm ever gonna be a normal person again. But... I can pretend, I guess.

[oathkeeping]

Close enough.

[It's true, though. What with having powers and all.]

Might as well enjoy it while you can.

[resipiscent]

Hah. [He smiles, quiet.] Yeah, that's... what I'm kind of thinking. But yeah, I don't... think I could give another pet enough attention.
