[It's pretty late, and Roxas realizes there's a curfew, but...

Well, he happened by the ballroom and the door was open just a crack. Being who he is, he couldn't help peering inside the room, and naturally the moment he saw the ceiling he had to wander on in.

Or rather, it's what he can see beyond the ceiling that's got him downright mystified. Through that clear glass he can see the night sky, dark heavens dotted with stars like diamonds. It's enough to make him stand there in the middle of that dark, cavernous room; everything up there's so different and new and he can't help but wonder what other worlds those stars might represent]

[For Squall to know that Roxas is out and about, breaking curfew - he'd seen the young cadet enter the elevator, the lights indicating that it had stopped on the 2ND Floor. Of course he had followed, taking the car up to the same floor and quietly stepping out. It was the sound of a door creaking that had caught his attention from the far end of the hall, as Squall had taken a left upon nearing the vacant, dark classrooms.

He couldn't help but wonder why the cadet was up here and not on the main level where the actual dormitories were. Another thing he wondered about was the Disciplinary Committee and why they didn't seem to be doing their rounds as much, now with Seifer gone.]

[Roxas appears to be oblivious of his unannounced company, watching the sky with a look of pure wonderment. It's one thing that doesn't change no matter where he is - there's always a sky overhead, though he likes it best when he can see the stars. For some reason they've always fascinated him]

[He enters as quiet as a mouse until his boots tap quietly along the dance floor with his steps.] ... You're lucky I got to you before the Disciplinary Committee did.

[This little Roxas starts, turning to look over at-]

Le- Sq- Um.

[What was it he went by in this world?]

Commander Squall?

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't exactly acknowledge the title, but steps closer.]

The dormitories are located on the main level of Garden. Get a little lost on the way..?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

I...didn't feel like sleeping.

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

Good thing your exams are done.

[And so it is that Marco is making rounds. Because he's got a nightmare and maybe three weeks of space will have given Ace time to cool off.]

You're not really supposed to be in here you know. [Says this with more of a worry that Roxas will get in trouble than actually to get him in trouble.]

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[The voice out of the stillness makes him start and Roxas turns, startled response turningto a bashful one as he subs at the back of his head. At least he hasn't seen that Seifer guy around, that was just too strange]

Yeah, I know... It's just that you can see the stars really well from here.

[fierybluebird]

Mm. Fond of star-gazing?

The constellations here get to me. I can't place them at all. Which makes sense... different sky and all. They're better from the rooftops though.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

Well...yeah. Where I was born, you couldn't see the stars.

[There's a small, nostalgic smile as he thinks about that. Then of course he's curious]

You've gone up on the roof?

[fierybluebird]

Not at all? I can't even imagine that. To me, it was one of the best parts about sailing on the Grand Line.

[A small nod at the other question.]

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

Sailing, like on the ocean..? Does that make you a pirate?

[Blame Sora and Cap'n Jack Sparrow for that]

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Yo, Roxas.

[Have a somewhat tired Axel slouching over on a balcony.]

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[Well that's one thing that distracts him from stargazing. He'd grin like a little dork as he walks over, except he can see Axel's worn out.

Maybe it's something like what that John Smith guy was talking a bout...]

Are you okay?

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[John Smith? You been talkin' to strangers, lil bro? >| ]

Peachy. [A yawn.]

Whatever's in the water, I'm getting used to it, at least.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[It's just this really old space-doctor guy who won't use his real name for some reason, bro.

Also excuse Roxas while he presses his wrist to Axel's forehead]

Are you sick?

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Axel blinks. Suddenly, wrist. How'd you get up there, shrimpbro?]

Nah. Just not catching my z's.

How're you holding up?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

Is it that nightmare stuff?

[By standing up on his tippy-toes and stretching his arm the rest of the way]

I'm...okay, I guess.

[tardytardis.livejournal.com]

[ aw, damn, someone took up his spot. after a moment or two, though, he comes in and settles for standing right beside Roxas. ]

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[Roxas doesn't notice his company at first, but when he does...he jumps]

H-hi, I...didn't see you there.

[tardytardis.livejournal.com]

It's alright, I've just got that sort of sneaky presence, sorry for startling you.

[ he keeps a smile on his face just the same, even if he does look quite tired. ]

Quite a gathering we've got tonight, look at that...

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[Roxas relaxes easily enough, but now he's wondering what the guy's talking about]

Do you mean... the stars?

[tardytardis.livejournal.com]

Oh, of course. [ he leans in towards Roxas, pointing out various constellations. ]

Over there, Scorpius! Hercules, Ara... even Draco! What a beauty.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

You know their names?

[OH MY GOD THAT IS COOL, MISTER]
