Roxas sat nearby Demyx who was strumming his...sitar, as Axel had called it with his hood up, blankly staring forward.

"So, uh...you play any instruments? No?" Demyx asked nervously as Roxas had been sitting down nearby, not moving for as long as he played. "...Never mind." He then murmured as he began to ignore his junior, but flinched as Roxas suddenly stood up as Saix stepped into the room alongside a tall man with rose-colored hair.

"Roxas, today you will be working with Marluxia." Saix said as Roxas faced him for a moment, but then walked away, leaving the two together as Marluxia looked down at him with a smile on his face. However, the Nobodys' presence made Roxas want to stay far away from him as possible despite this being their first meeting.

"Welcome to the fold, Roxas." He said in greeting, opening up a void of darkness before them.

"A Keyblade wielder…" Roxas overheard as he saw Vexen standing before the window, glancing at him just before the void closed. "This could prove quite enlightening…"

Roxas followed Marluxia into the place he went with Axel previously to, the place called Twilight Town.

"Roxas, was it? I never properly introduced myself. I am Marluxia, Number XI." He introduced as Roxas removed his hood, noticing Marluxia's eyes narrow at him slightly for a moment before he brushed a lock of his hair away from his face.

"Today, your job is to collect hearts." He said simply.

Roxas didn't say anything, simply glancing towards his senior.

"Could you summon your Keyblade for me?" Marluxia asked, taking initiative. Roxas looked up at him in confusion for a moment, then closed his eyes, instinctively he held out his hand. He felt a warm sensation in his chest, and before him appeared an unfamiliar looking weapon.

"Lucky Number XIII…" Marluxia remarked holding a rose in his hand, confusing Roxas as to where the flower appeared from. But he didn't question it. "At last, a chosen wielder of the Keyblade amongst our ranks." He remarked.

Suddenly Roxas's eyes widened slightly as he turned his head towards where he sensed darkness, gripping his weapon at the sight of monsters that appeared from shadows. Marluxia took notice of his junior's expression, smirking under his breath.

"So, Roxas, shall we put that power of yours to a little test? Use your Keyblade...and defeat those Heartless." Marluxia ordered as Roxas quickly dispelled the heartless, defeating them all efficiently without even breaking a sweat.

"Good." Marluxia praised. "Those Heartless are called Shadows. Dark creatures who roam about, searching for hearts. They come in two larger varieties. The ones you just defeated are known as Purebloods. Purebloods don't release any hearts when you defeat them. In other words, don't bother with them. Your mission is to collect hearts, after all. The other variety-" He explained as more heartless appeared. Roxas gripped his weapon once more, narrowing his eyes as he could sense the heartless's gaze was on him, on the weapon of light he held in his hand more specifically.

"Take these out, Roxas. They are your real targets." Marluxia remarked as Roxas nodded, dashing towards the heartless, but they were stronger than the other ones. He took a few lightning strikes, and fell over, catching his breath as he just narrowly defeated all of them.

"Those were what we call Emblem Heartless." Marluxia remarked as he casted a spell on Roxas, healing him of his fatigue. "Did you notice? Hearts appeared when you defeated them. Your job is to collect those hearts. So long as the Heartless are felled by your weapon, the Keyblade, the hearts will be captured. The rest of us can defeat Heartless, but we have no way of collecting the hearts they release. Eventually, the hearts will turn right back into Heartless. You see, then, how special you are?"

Roxas looked away, uncertain of how to answer until more Emblem heartless appeared.

" With power like yours, it's no wonder they are drawn to you." Marluxia remarked with a smile as Roxas lifted himself to his feet, glaring at the heartless before him. "Heh. Here come more of them. Each one is a gift, Roxas. Squeeze every last heart out of them!" He ordered as Roxas simply obeyed. This time he evaded most of the lightning attacks, destroying all of them until no more appeared. Roxas panted heavily, sensing that Marluxia opening up a corridor of darkness behind him.

"Excellent, Roxas. Your work today is done. I am impressed." He said, not evening hiding the fact that he was staring at the Keyblade in his hand. The taller man's aura reminding Roxas of that of the heartless; a being that desired the light so strongly.

"That Keyblade... The things that could be done with that sort of power…" He murmured as Roxas willingly allowed the weapon to disappear from his hand, seemingly breaking the man's trance as he regained his previous composure. "I have high hopes for you, Roxas-as do we all. Defeat the Heartless, and help the Organization reach our noble goal."

Roxas looked away from him, glancing where some of the shadow heatless still lingered. But ultimately ignored them as he followed his senior into the darkness.

That was how I found out the Organization's goal. So they wanted to collect these things called "hearts." I didn't know what a heart was not that it even mattered to me. All I needed, all I wanted was a purpose; and that was to collect hearts for the sake of the Organization...

Notes:

- Even though I like Marluxia as a character, even Lauriam, he is stranger danger.

-I thought about it, and decided it would be better to so the tutorial days individually, as they're Roxas's first interactions with his co-workers more or less.

-Since Roxas is still relatively new to life he's not as vocal to "strangers" so to speak. Axel is the exception. :)
