[ It was hard enough, waiting for the water level to go down enough so that Mary could return to where her apartment was (had been) without risk of drowning. Seto's hoodie, the jacket Hiro had given her... they were the only things she'd been able to find at the time, but now she can search for anything remaining from their apartment.

So feel free to come across a tiny teenager over the afore-mentioned days, getting drizzled on and trying to pry up pieces of the smaller rubble - and HNNNNNGHing at the bigger pieces of debris that she can't budge at all - as she hunts about. The stuffed animal she'd received from Lily is gone, the headband from Kaoru and Shiho has been twisted and bent beyond repair when she miraculously finds that... the dried flowers, from the bouquet Elza had given her... no sign of them. All of her tea...

Mary almost wants to cry, but not yet. She just keeps looking.

And don't be alarmed if she seems worn-out when you see her. It's not some weird elemental effect, she's just terrible at stamina. ]

[ There's her smile-- she can't help it, it's still good to see a friend. ]

Mm, I'll just be more ready for you next time.

[coexistent]

[that's better. he can relax a bit seeing that.]

Right. [he nods, but then looks around curiously.] What were you doing out here by yourself, anyway?

[immobileyes]

This... was my home for awhile. [ And she points down at the UTTER WRECK that she's been futilely digging through. ] So it's got things from my friends... I wanted to try and find them.

[coexistent]

Oh...

[he doesn't have a full understanding of the importance of material items like that; aside from seashells brought to him by xion (and vice-versa), he really didn't have much like that. but the fact they were things from her friends makes it enough for roxas.]

I could help you look... if you tell me what to look for. [he doesn't have anything pressing going on, anyway.]

[immobileyes]

There's a pink plastic bear... and a bouquet of dried flowers... and a tea set, but I don't think that'll be okay.

[ Yeah, she's pretty sure that's smashed. ]

Books, too.

[coexistent]

Plastic bear.... dried flowers... books...

[he repeats those things back—it seems like a strange combination of items, but he's not here to judge. it obviously has meaning to her. so he nods his head and offers a small smile.]

Got it. I'll start looking over there, in case things got really moved around. It's... kinda hard to tell where things were to start, anyway.

[immobileyes]

I know what you mean. I can't even tell where the front was, or my room, or... anything. [ She frowns, rubbing a smudge of dust or dirt off of her nose. ] It's just all one big mess.

[coexistent]

We'll find it though. Whatever we can find, we'll find it.

[he's trying to be encouraging here. roxas isn't sure if he's succeeding, but he's trying.] It has to be here, right? Even if it's a mess.

[immobileyes]

Yeah. Somehow... we'll just have to look through everything.

[ S-shoves up sleeves, yep. ]

[coexistent]

We will. [this is the kind of stuff he's pretty okay at, so he thinks he can keep this much up.]

Let me know if you need help moving anything, okay? [the debris is pretty heavy, but even if he can't lift it, he can use his keyblades to knock it out of the way. put those junk sweep skills to the test.]

[immobileyes]

... Are you really strong?

[ ROXAS ARE YOU MAGICAL BECAUSE YOU LOOK FAIRLY SCRAWNY BUT SHE ALSO SUSPECTS THAT YOU'RE KIND OF A BADASS (well, she remembers the nurse). ]

[coexistent]

Yeah. I mean... I think I am, at least.

[which probably doesn't incite the most confidence, but he did sort of put the beatdown on saïx once and that isn't exactly an easy task, especially if he hits berserker mode.]

[immobileyes]

You're stronger than me. [ WHICH ISN'T SAYING MUCH, but she's trying to be reassuring and supportive or something. ] So I think that counts for something.

[coexistent]

Well, you don't really have to fight things much, do you?

[she doesn't seem like she does, at least. it's a little different for roxas, who mostly knows how to little more than fighting and recon.] I guess I can't help if I am. At least it'll come in handy with this mess.

[trying to keep things on the positive, oh yeah. (your soradisneys are showing, roxas)]

[immobileyes]

I hit someone with a coat hanger once. Oh, and something else, but that was an accident. And then the coat hanger didn't even go through...

[ ... Yeah, she's not good at fighting. ]

[coexistent]

I'm not really sure a coat hanger would do that much anyway...

[you tried, mary.]

[immobileyes]

It's... sharp...

[ SHUT UP, ROXAS. ]

[coexistent]

But it's a coat hanger...

[says the kid who fights with giant keys. SHH HIS LOGIC IS SOUND LEAVE HIM ALONE]

[immobileyes]

Y-you can do a lot with little things!

[ DON'T UNDERESTIMATE. ]

[coexistent]

Maybe you can show me one day, then...

[if she believes that strongly in it, then he wants to see how it's possible!]

[immobileyes]

If something else attacks us and I have one, anyway.

[ Yep. ]

[coexistent]

I'm gonna hold you to that.

[...he's joking, really.]

[immobileyes]

Don't worry! I'll show you its power!

[ IT DID NOTHING, MARY. EXCEPT HURT WHEN IT GOT STUCK IN YOUR HAIR. ]

[coexistent]

[but her enthusiasm is inspiring, at least?]

I guess we should take care of what's here first, though. [...he's not doing much good at helping her by encouraging her to beat people up with a coat hanger.]

[immobileyes]

Right! I'm ready!!

[ BACK TO DIGGING... ]
