Why do they bother teaching us anything before summer? I mean, it's not like we're gonna remember anything when we get back...

[seasaltzombie]

Well, an old friend of mine used to try and convince us to get it done the first week of vacation, if you'll believe that. We always managed to overrule her though.

[kitchenknives]

Yeah, I guess there's always one, huh? Can't say I really blame 'em, but man, it sure can get annoying when you've got way better things to do than homework.

[seasaltzombie]

Yeah, for real. You got anything good planned for your vacation?

[kitchenknives]

Uh, well... There's this summer festival coming up that might be kinda cool. And hopefully I can get my hands on some watermelon...

How 'bout you?

[seasaltzombie]

Man, I miss watermelon. That stuff's expensive, though. You must be less broke than I was during my summer breaks.

Uh... well, actually, it's still only March where I am. That, and I haven't really been to school in years.

[kitchenknives]

Uh, well, I said hope for a reason. Maybe there'll be some discount, or I'll find a freebie somewhere, or something...

Lucky! It's gross as hell out here in this heat. And the no school part seems cool, too.

[seasaltzombie]

Maybe you could pitch in together with your friends and share?

Oh, yuck. And believe it or not, sometimes I actually miss school.

[kitchenknives]

Hey, yeah, that's not a bad idea.

Wow, are you sick or something?

[seasaltzombie]

Let me know how it goes.

I have a very weird life. Sometimes I miss most people's idea of normality.

[kitchenknives]

Hey, if you want, we could trade.

[seasaltzombie]

Show me how well you do in a round against some Heartless and it's a deal.

[kitchenknives]

Heartless? What, are they kinda like Shadows?

[seasaltzombie]

I guess, except they're more like creatures of darkness that like to eat hearts more than monsters made out of your is--

wait, you know about Shadows? Are you Yu's friend?

[kitchenknives]

What? Like, literally eat hearts Temple of Doom style? Or is that just some kinda metaphor?

Only his best friend! I'm Yosuke Hanamura. I guess you know him too, huh?

[seasaltzombie]

Uh... it sorta depends on your perspective? Where I come from, real hearts and emotional hearts are kinda one and the same, so... I guess it's literal?

Yeah, we've talked a lot. Actually, from what I've seen I almost think your lives are weirder than mine, sometimes. I'm Roxas.

[kitchenknives]

Well, that's new. Probably sucks even more to get dumped in your neighborhood, huh?

Man, really? Good weird or bad weird?

But hey, it's nice to meet you.

[seasaltzombie]

I... guess? [ please excuse him yosuke there's some things about the world this poor ignorant child still doesn't know

this is what happens when your education came from Axel and this community ]

Just... weird weird, I think. It's not bad.

Ha, you too.

[kitchenknives]

Probably good to not to find out for sure.

Thanks? I think. I'm sure your weird's okay, too.
