I think I'll take a raincheck on that one. Nice try though.

[hiro, why are you such a punk of a friend!!]

[zerotohiro]

[Better question, why are you friends with him, Roxas???]

Hey, can't blame me for trying. It was either that or ask if you got hit with anything weird like when I went blind and Mary couldn't stop freezing people. Would that have been better?

[coexistent]

[good question tbh...]

Probably, since that's a lot easier to answer. It was mostly just my Keyblades being pretty weird, so it wasn't that bad.

For me, at least.

[except for the part where mary froze him. oops.]

[zerotohiro]

[Yeeeeah he heard about Mary freezing him which is both funny and terrible. But.]

I thought your Keyblades were your weapons. How could THEY be acting weird? They don't have brains or anything.

[coexistent]

I dunno. Sometimes they just wouldn't work when I tried to summon them, though.

[hearts, hiro. the answer when it comes to this kind of stuff is always hearts.]

[zerotohiro]

That still doesn't make sense. They're weapons. [Clearly the only item that can have a heart is Baymax.] They're working again now just fine aren't they?

[coexistent]

It's not like just anyone has Keyblade, you know. There aren't that many people that can do it.
They're fine NOW but they were definitely weird around the time Mary's eyes were weird too.

[zerotohiro]

I'm just saying. I don't think I'll ever understand that.

Which stopped acting weird first? Or did they all stop at the same time? Sorry for all the questions but...you know me. I want to figure out patterns to stop this next time.

[coexistent]

It's fine.
I dunno if it was the same time or not. I didn't really think about it when it was happening since I didn't really need my Keyblades when things when back to normal for Mary. They've been find since then, though...

[zerotohiro]

...your Keyblades aren't part of you, exactly. Mary and I had our eyes messed with.

It makes me wonder if we could recode your Keyblades, too. What do you think?

[Please tell him no, Roxas.]

[coexistent]

I'm pretty sure they ARE part of me. I don't know that much about how it works, but it's not like I can get rid of them or give them to other people or something.

[he just hasn't really connected that it's a heart thing, technically. either way...]

What do you mean, "recode" them??

[zerotohiro]

You've seen how we keep glitching and everything and you've seen the upgrades I've given Baymax...I wonder if I could do the same with your Keyblades. That's all.

The whole thing just doesn't make sense Roxas, that's all.

[You know for a Disney you'd think he'd realize it was a heart thing but no, Hiro's also an idiot.]

[coexistent]

I still don't think it's the same at all. My Keyblades aren't like Baymax, you can't just... upgrade them... :/

[roxas is so confused, why is he treating the keyblades like they're a piece of tech!! it doesn't work like that!!]

[zerotohiro]

How do you know? [He's actually kind of surprised Roxas used an emote but you know what that's fine. (He's weirdly proud of that? Way to be a real boy, Roxas.)] All right, all right, I won't try to upgrade them.

Still leaves us back at square one why we don't know what's going on.

[coexistent]

I don't know how I know. It's just something I... know? I guess? They're not like normal weapons. I'll show you some stuff sometime.

[like how hiro just can't take them and do whatever because they'll always come back to his hands.]

You're right, but I don't really know where else to start with that stuff either.

[zerotohiro]

[Dumb Keyblades :c]

I'd be up for that actually...it'd be pretty cool to learn more about them. It's probably the only thing we can do right now since answers about everything aren't coming to us. I'm kind of asking around but I'm drawing a big blank.

Maybe we should just take a break for a day?

[coexistent]

Yeah, maybe a break's a pretty good idea. It's annoying... but I don't think we can do much else, except clear our heads or something.

[it's surprisingly rational, coming from roxas. he's really growing up a lot these days, like a real boy.]

[zerotohiro]

[A long, silent pause, like Hiro's going to say something profound.]

...yeah, you're right. Wanna go get some ice cream and call it a day?

[coexistent]

Yeah, that sounds fine to me. Probably better than anything else we can come up with right now.

[zerotohiro]

Sweet. I'll meet you there.

[And thus they are off on an ice cream adventure.]
