[happy birthday! except that roxas is still not anywhere near awake enough to have remembered this yet. he barely even stirs until he hears her voice—and alongside that is his own bird resting atop his head.]
...Huh? [he mumbles out a questioning sound rather groggily, still not even opening his eyes yet. his neck his definitely a little stiff from having fallen asleep in this position again...
but after a minute or two, he'll start to wake a little more, letting out a loud yawn and making some vague attempt at opening his eyes.]
[he'll sit up a little straighter once she moves, enough so he can try to roll his neck a little. they really have to like, stop sleeping in uncomfortable ways all the time, huh.]
[ she's fine, but Mary has also fallen asleep on couches or in chairs before. Her body's learned to put up with it. But both she and her bird are studying Roxas with some concern. ]
[it's really not that bad. as he tilts his head to the side again though to try and work it out, his bird is... well, attempting to do its own thing, whatever that is.
roxas yawns though.
there's something important today, right? ah well, he'll remember in a sec.]
[any implications that could come with that fly right over his head anyway.]
I guess that would be more comfortable. But the TV's out here... [should they get TVs for the bedrooms so they can watch movies and talk without falling asleep on the couch all the time?]
I guess we could, but wouldn't-- ah, hold on, you shouldn't--!
[ ... to the bird, who is bravely trying to fly even though it really can't, so instead of an impressive feat of flight, it's plowing into Roxas' knee.
At which point he'll find himself inside what looks to be a department of a shopping center. Speaking of TVs, there's a wall stacked with brand-new ones and several shelves sporting different types of hardware.
There are also a lot of people huddled together on the floor and guarded by a group of men in black, all heavily armed. Apparently unseen by these men, Mary and two other girls - a blonde girl in a pink shirt and a green-haired girl in a purple jacket- slowly make their way towards them. Mary, inexplicably, is holding a handheld massager.
Or she was, until she trips, and it goes flying out of her hand to hit one of the men in the back of the head. The other two girls let out horrified squawks, and the green-haired girl grabs Mary and the massager as they bolt behind a shelf. The men can be heard yelling at each other, playing the Blame Game, as the green-haired girl rounds on Mary.
"Are you an idiot!? Do you want to die!?"
Mary, alarmed, yelps out an apology, and the blonde girl groans softly.
"I thought for sure we were gonna die... will we really be okay?"
And then it ends. The bird flutters back to the ground, and Mary winces as her vision swims-- just a bit. Thanks, bird. ]
mary is currently free from seeing one of roxas' memories, but for a moment, he's definitely just sitting there in some sort of dazed, confused sense of disbelief.
he recognizes mary, of course—but the other people are completely unfamiliar to him in every way. not the people mary is with, or the people who are clearly making trouble for them all. is this—is this one of her memories?
he isn't sure, but it's definitely not something he can recall or place in the least, and after it ends, he'll clutch his own head out of baffled discomfort.]
[ What a pair, these wincing kids. Mary blinks slowly, peering at him with an air of confusion. She's dealt with this before, but she's never sure what they see. ]
[ Like he's going to know that, Mary. And she'd offer some details, to see if he could grasp what the heck he'd seen of her and so she'd know as well, but as she opens her mouth, her stomach lurches unpleasantly and she promptly closes her mouth with a soft groan.
[ She doesn't think she'll make it at all, but she'll somehow manage it if he guides her to the sink-- where she promptly coughs up... thankfully not a whole lot, because there's nothing in her stomach right now.
but roxas will at least hold her hair back away from her face and stand there, supportive. he doesn't really know what else to do, but at least he's not shying away or disgusted by it, either.]
[ What a good roommate... she'd be grateful if she wasn't blinking back instinctive tears. She'll grip the counter for a few minutes, and finally speak up shakily. ]
[ What can she say here? "I'm sorry for throwing up and having my crush see the whole thing and hold my hair up because he's great even though the sickness in shoujo manga is always just a fever or a cold and not anything this gross I kind of want to die now"?
... No, that wouldn't help. So Mary nods, very slowly, and sort of shuffles along with him to go plop down again. ]
[it'll take him a minute to bring back the glass of water, but he hands to to her as he sits down, musing:]
I guess this probably isn't the best time to say happy birthday, huh... [obviously, he's saying it to try and make her feel better and let her know he hasn't forgotten, even if it's a rough start to the day.]

Okay, no, nausea first. ]
no subject
[okay, he's not the one feeling terribly queasy, so that groan is something roxas is more concerned about.]
...Mary?
