A/N: All right, guys, it is OFFICIALLY ONE WEEK BEFORE KH3! So exciting! I wonder if some of my predictions will come true, and I can't wait to find out. Anyway, I'm going to start updating two chapters at a time. Still not sure if I'll have a consistent update schedule (thanks, job, lol), but I'll try to aim for Fridays/Saturdays. I just wanted to update today to celebrate it being one week away, I can't believe it's almost here.
Chapter 4
Diary of an Artist
Namine
I shouldn't have said anything about my relationship with Axel ending, because now that seems like that's what anyone wants to talk about! Larxene wanted to know when I'd release my expose post on it, and sorry Larx, but there's not much to tell. We had our thing for a couple months, went out on five dates, had three dinners…But, OK, guys, if you're curious, it did seem like this shadow would be following us. I don't mean that as a metaphor, it felt like some disapproving shadow was watching everything we did. Axel doesn't take much stock in omens, I kind of do…So that was that.
And I'm really happy living the single life, guys. Don't you worry about that, I'm definitely not desperate for anyone any time soon! ^_^
Comments:
Was the shadow Chris Hansen?
Marluxia
Again with the Chris Hansen! This is well past relevant any more. And besides, Marluxia, I have my own issues with you! *glares*
Namine
You are far too confident online. :P
Marluxia
And you've proven to be creepy in the past. I'm sitting in on this conversation, so I can monitor it VERY carefully. Don't be messing with my best friend, Marls!
Xion
Oh, fie, you are no better than an intrusive fly, Xion. You know that Larxene and I were just passing the time when we'd have her run back and forth with snacks for us, because we wanted to spend our time engaging in our more…sensual pursuits.
Marluxia
Ew…EW!
Xion
Like back massages. ;)
Marluxia
Why do my posts always have threads like these? *facepalm*
Namine
Yeah, Nam, you were just trying to clear the air about us to everyone, even though it's really nobody but Chris Hansen's shadow's business. Leave it to Flower Boy to make things worse.
Axel
….Wait, that really was his shadow? 0_0
Namine
Um, yeah, Zexion told me so. That's when he also broke the news to me that I was 21. Makes some odd amount of sense when you think about it…
Axel
The World That Never Was really is the Twilight Zone, wow! Snatches of 2007 will just show up out of the blue.
Roxas
A topic worthy of further research! Perhaps it is my time machine's influence!
Vexen
…Nobody really cares that much, Vexen.
Xion
They do when he's getting mixed up with bounced checks now. This is what happens when we bring past-relevant names out into the universe. 0_0
Roxas
Hm, wonder what that'd mean with Tom from MySpace, speaking of 2007…
Xion
Ooh, stay tuned!
Larxene
A Day in the Life
Xion
Well, so far so good, guys! Some of the blog posts have been weird, but I mean, that's another day for the Org. as far as that goes (let's be real, it's mostly been us). I'm used to it, I got to combat it with my usual wise-ass commentary but nothing too severe yet. Don't throw any curveballs, Xigbar, they will not be appreciated.
As for me, I did get to go out with Riku the other day, off to the islands for our anniversary. I never thought our online banter would translate to anything substantial, but hey, we lucked out! I get not everyone can have the relationship we have, so I try not to take that for granted. Especially since I'm technically related to Sora through being a shadow of a shadow, and I wonder what the optics of that are and whether or not I could legitimately disappear at any moment. 0_0
Sorry for the existentialism, been listening to a lot of Radiohead on the new sound system, which is gorgeous by the way! Thanks again, Lexaeus, for providing that for us. I know you don't get appreciated enough around here, so I'm more than willing to find any excuse to give you a shout-out.
Comments:
I'm happy to help with that all things considered, Xion. As long as we can avoid another incident like Axel's inept thievery, I'll be content. Leon trying to break into HQ really disturbed my naps.
Lexaeus
Why don't you have a blog of your own, dude?
Demyx
Hmm…You know, I never thought about it. I prefer to stoically read others' posts, although the comments do make me chuckle every now and again. They are the best part of the site.
Lexaeus
Oh, so you're a lurker! Well, there's always one of those. Maybe there's more around than we think. Xigbar definitely lurks more than posts/comments, hmmm…
Demyx
I'm doing research to take all of you down. It's all a part of the master plan, dudes. *sly grin emoji* Or is it?
Xigbar
^Um…OK then. Ignoring that, happy anniversary to you too, babe. The best things always happen on accident. *heart emoji*
Riku
Aw!
Xion
That's what my parents always said to me too!
Larxene
…So many random comments here today, jeez.
Sora
It wasn't theft! That box was literally just sitting out there, and I thought those CDs would be given away for free! Eh, never mind. Clearly, everyone's still got that memorized. -_-
Axel
An iconic moment in Org. history! *heart emoji*
Xion
A/N: It's kinda weird that there's no ages on most of these characters-heck, Axel could be anywhere from 19 to 25 for all I know! And no lie, I added to this when the new Chris Hansen story came out, three days when I first wrote on this! Very odd.
