the cracks in our memories can't change the bonds in our hearts
Welcome
to Simple and Clean, an au post-3D Kingdom Hearts roleplay.
After Xehanort removed the chains of memories linked not to people, but to objects and events - the keyblade, the Princesses of Heart, and Kingdom Hearts itself - the heroes found themselves living in a world where they are... ordinary. Where they are highschool and college students, parents or siblings, and living in a world not too far removed from our own.
Casting his spell cost Xehanort strength and time, but he's begun to move - and not everyone had their memories pulled. How will the worlds react to the return of the darkness when the light doesn't know to stand against it?
Events
Xehanort's awakening is at hand, and with it has come the beginning of the destruction of his spell.
Updates
10/08/17 First major site event has begun! Xehanort has awoken and he's hellbent on ensuring his plans will not be interfered with. A halloween writing contest has started as well, so be sure to check them both out.
Breathing slowly, breath completely warm and moist beneath the surgeon's mask to prevent any cross contamination between serum 45Gt and powder pulled from rat subject Ym74 with genetics mixed antibodies. His hands well practiced at holding completely calm and still slowly moved closer together, just needed to mix in perfect harmonious. He press his foot down creating a high-pitch specific frequency be a small ever hitting a tuning fork that caused serum 45Gt to bubble then attract itself toward Ym74. A small smiled creeped in the make, his eyes focusing as a small glowing color began to slowly light the area around him, a chemical genetic change that only seemed to happen in total darkness at certain frequencies. He was actually going to completely create a stable... new goo species...
The light flickered on exposing a male with silver hair wearing a surgeon's mask, dark night vision googles, and a long white lab coat. The light flick sent the bubbling goo to react extreme completely spreading out attacking the rat serum causing a huge gooey green substance that went all over the place, the substance creating an acid effect beginning to melt anything that was not glass before evaporating. Practically causing Ienzo to tear the mask and lab coat off savagely stepping far away from the lab table toward the now opened door. The clothes beneath the lab coat looked to be a basic long sleeve white T-shit with black pants laced with gold thread.
After his initial shock he slowly dropped his shoulders as if life was drained away, he gave a large sigh, whispering not even looking who had entered his home without permission or care. "edym" Small horrid rancid smell from the acid melting everything it touch before evaporating began to fill the air, calmly Ienzo turned on the vents.

Edym walked to Ienzo's house. He was in the neighborhood checking on his old friend. He needed to get out more and he was grateful he had a key to the place. Ienzo had something about him dropping in enough times he might as well have a key. Edym had been touched and dropped by more often than he used to after that. He was only a town over so he couldn't come every day but usually just on his days off. He unlocked the door and headed inside. After closing the door he began searching for Ienzo and decided to start in the lab. After finding it he opened the door and saw it was dark.
"How can you possibly get any work done in the dark?" asked Edym.
He flicked the light on which set off a chain reaction as goo and things went everywhere.
"Wow. That was incredible. Are you making some kind of weapon?" asked Edym, thinking it was supposed to do all of that.
He grinned as Ienzo said his name.
"I'm glad you still remember my name. I mean it's been so long since we've talked. You seem to get wrapped more in your little projects. I've missed chatting with you. It wouldn't kill you to spend a few minutes talking with me on the phone more often." said Edym.
Edym spoke out asking a question voice carrying the weight of "awe" and amazement asking if Ienzo was building some sort of weapon. Ienzo gave a small grown walking back to his lab table the papers mostly burned away showing small random numbers, luckily the main document was on the computer system. He gave a small grumble groan crumbling the paper before throwing it away near by trashcan, about the same way as the guy went on how happy he was that the young scientist knew his name. He turned eyes looking toward the blonde standing there happiness oozing from him, he didn't quite understand.
He mumbled softly, "I'm busy... It wasn't a weapon, it was subject 45's Rattus norvegicus Albumine mixed with highly complex mixture of chemical and AI neurons that were to create a glowing genetic gene change allowing safe tattoos come and go at will through communication of electrical systems within the homo sapien body." The soft mumbled soon turned into a slight straight back smile with finger teacher-like manner as if to explain the other person in the room why he was smarter and why he should be completely left alone. He rubbed his forehead annoyance, "Ym74 sensitive to noises and light, cause unknown. Seventh attempt, Fail."
He mumbled something else cleaning up the lab space before speaking slightly annoyed, "I will call you longer promise." His brain screaming, please don't drag me outdoors, please don't drag me outdoors. Knowing full well if the male so much attempted, he will always lose. The battle of wills, he was the least willful, too laidback.

Edym paused listening to him. Or trying. As it mostly went over his head.
"Safe tattoos?" asked Edym confused.
He raised an eyebrow.
"Sensitive to light? What a weird experiment." said? Edym.
Edym grinned.
"I know how you can make it up to me. We should go have some fun. There's a concert coming up tonight. Or we could go to the beach or grab some food. Lot of fun things to do. And this place kind of reeks. You should let it air out some." said Edym.
He paused reaching forward grabbing Ienzo's left arm giving it a friendly tug.
The one thing he had to admit about Edym he at least seemed to care about what he worked on, that can be said more than other people like students at the school or his Foster Father who sent him here far away. He thought of that other guy, Zola, he never send him a text did he even have the phone still? He pushed this thought out of his head giving a small yawn from little sleep and starring for hours at tiny little glass object perfecting the AI's merging with the neurons before testing it on plasma to see if the AI's actually allowed bodily acceptance. "Its a work in progress." He said simply with a slight huff of complaint ad admitting he didn't quite figure it out yet.
Soon the friend broke into about making up to him, Ienzo temporarily forgot about the phone promise he just made, questioning what the guy even met. Shouldn't Edym be making it up to him? For ruining the 7th attempt? Then the guy went on about having fun hanging out, he blinked slowly taking it all in. He wanted to go "hang out"? As in the outside world? With all the people, things, interactions? He pointed out the door whimpering slightly at the bright light from the windows floor above streaming through, "Out there?" It was one thing to leave for research purposes, but Hanging out? Going to concerts? Wasn't there large amounts of incubating germs? People pushing rudely, breaking into fist fights just to touch 1 loud song artist? At night when crimes were committed, that was interesting maybe he could test out his silent tazer out. Would Edym even let him bring anything? He looked over to his cabinet full of successful prototypes.
His friend asked nicely one more time smiling, he stared slightly shocked at how bright the smile was. He found himself nodding in agreement, eyes switching from Edym back once more to the cabinet, before a small sigh. Slowly a half smile showed up, "Okay" Then again later then again later, why did these things keep happening?

Edym nodded.
"Well, I guess so. Maybe a little less work. You work too much and so hard. I don't want you to overdo it. What if that had been a bigger explosion and you were alone? If something happened to you..."
He trailed off not wanting to finish that sentence.
"I wish I could get you to move in with me. I'd take the odd hours and explosions as long as I knew you were safe. I'm no genius but I know accidents can happen. I just worry about you here by yourself." said Edym.
He smiled sheepishly and when Ienzo asked about going out there he nodded.
"Sure. We'll have a blast. Grab some pizza or Chinese. Maybe go bowling or something. I'm not picky just as long as we're having fun together." said Edym.
He paused with a grin.
"For a second I thought I was going to have to bribe you with helping out with your lab." said Edym.
Less work? He tilted his head, he had been working nonstop to the point of starving hims some days, he simply forgot to eat that was all. Then there were the days he forgot to drink coffee, he flinched at the memories of painful headaches. Sometimes spending hours staring at an experiment was required, that was all. He scratched his head confused as the guy hinted of his safety, he hadn't died yet though. Maybe he should wear safety equipment, though if nobody intervened his work.
The friend continued on about moving in with him, was that even allowed his father did send him to the school. Though he was a grown adult and already completed course requirements. He blinked having scenes of Edym barging in and ruining the experiments over and over again. "You would just barge in ruining things, plus leaving alone is private, more time to think. You plan that instrument long hours, how is a scientist to think?" He did a slight arm cross thinking how much his friend loved music, maybe he should make a music box with his song playing. Who knows, people liked presents right?
"Bowling? The sport where the ball must exceed 30 inches per second in order to hit the pins at the right angle to make them all fall?" He tilted his head playing this loud sport over and over in his head. Could he practice the angle just right? What if he hit a split pin? maybe invent a bowling ball that opens up and pushes the p ins outward? Away from the ball? Forcing them all to knock down, then closes before making contact at the recycler?
He looked over eyes lowering annoyed that such a thought would be passable, "The last time you helped, this red button was pushed blowing up the mainframe computer sensors... If you wish to offer your brachii in subject testing, I'll accept." He lifted his head with a confident smile that, "yes" this will be an absolute brilliant idea. Offer your arm, allow him to test the safe tattoo chemical in there.. There will be absolutely No consequences, after all he can't screw up.

Edym grinned sheepishly.
"But you shouldn't live alone all the time. I could my guitar by the beach or the garage or something. I wouldn't want to annoy you by playing it all the time but I do like playing it." said Edym.
Edym chuckled.
"Wow, you've thought more of about bowling than I have. Maybe you could even figure out the right way to throw. I often get gutter balls. It'd be nice for one day to get a perfect score or at least close to it." said Edym.
Edym grinned.
"I'm sorry but when people see a shiny red button they just want to touch it. You shouldn't leave something like that where someone could hit it by accident. Why do you even have a button that blows up your stuff anyway?" asked Edym.
He looked at him confused.
"What's a brachii? Never mind. If you want it it's yours." said Edym.
He thought it'd be something he could give him like a tool or something. Ienzo was his friend and he wanted to help him.
He didn't understand why his friend was so insistent of him moving in, why would any homo sapien wanted another to live with them? Wasn't there understanding need for territory? Is that not why his adopted father kicked him out? "But.." He started quieting down slightly not sure how to fight with his friend's very valid points. He could actually be a good help, and he could always place silencers around his friends band if they effected any experiments. Just why? Was this some sort of fake acting to gain his trust, only to stab him? He would do something like that, so why would a friend?
Edym went on a tangent about bowling and how he always hit the gutter, a small smile managed to slip its way passed Ienzo's lips, followed by a gentle chuckle. "I can make you a bowling ball win every time...." He offered raising a slight finger as if representing a simple solution.
Ienzo broke into a laugh as his friend offered the arm muscle for experimentation, "Okay." He answered simply picked up his house keys leading the way outside of the house to go bowling. "Driving? Or me?" He asked as he exited the door, closing/locking it should Edym followed outside.

Edym grinned as Ienzo said he could help him with bowling.
"You really think you could?" asked Edym.
Edym chuckled.
"You can drive if you want. I'll look up places to go on the phone. I think the bowling area has pizza or hots dog if you're hungry. We could eat before we bowl." said Edym.
Ienzo gave a nod agreeing to drive so that Edym can look up places near by, luckily the driveway was big enough to fit 2 cars next to each other. Pulling out his keys, he unlocked both sides with simple click of a button before sliding in drive seat. Start of an engine they were off toward food area, stopping at a small fast food joint. He placed the car into park in the lot.
Soon slipping out he locked the car, followed Edym inside the smells of the fast food slamming against his nose calling a small drool built up on his mouth. He walked up to the register picking out a meal before Edym, soon paying with a black prepaid card. Waiting calmly for Edym he filled up his soda, once both had their drinks. He slipped into a booth seating sipping on the soda looking outside at all the busy people, happy that the burger place had its own parking. After several swallows he turned his attention silently to Edym looking at the blonde hair wondering how he ever managed to get it, wondering what it would look like on him.
OOC: this is such an awful post... Go ahead and post Edym finding places to eat at and speaking. i don't imagine Ienzo speaking much just nodding. I def see Edym starting the conversations a lot more than ienzo.

Edym grinned as soon they drove to the burger place. He paid for his own meal as he then joined Ienzo at the booth.
"I knew this was a good idea. The food is great and of course so is the company." said Edym.
He sometimes couldn't help flirting or giving compliments. But in this case, he meant it. Ienzo was one of his longest friends. Sure they'd met online but he felt he'd be lost without him. The guy explained so many computer and technical stuff but he didn't treat him like he was stupid. Sure he got mad if he messed up his experiments but Ienzo tried to explain things to him and made him understand it. And if he didn't he'd look it up later. He bit into his fries enjoying them before taking a sip from his drink.
"So I guess we'll go bowling after we eat?" asked Edym.
The blonde began to move about speaking after couple of bites, taking on a rather joyous smile. Ienzo really didn't understand why the guy smiled as much as he did, wasn't homo sapiens suppose to smile whenever they fed about something? Not all the time? Was that against some sort of instinct? Whatever the reason, it actually felt good. He liked the smile, always so cheery and bright, not many were like that he was around. He made a slight comment about company the silver hair scientist blush slightly confused by why he would like his company. Ienzo never really smiled, maybe once a while, a small sign of encouragement. Maybe to mislead another but, he wasn't like those other homo spaiens people were drawn to. They type on tvs, posters; the smilers.
He paused in his thoughts, wasn't he suppose to say something here? A show of the message was recognized? Like a computer reading the files copied and paste. He swallowed the food answered slight shakey voice unsure how he was suppose to answer. "Thank you, yo-your company is enjoyable as an advanced interface." Did he do that right? Normal people wouldn't use the word interface, would they? His eyes quickly shifted downward to the burger re-entering his mouth.
He then noticed Edym grabbing for the fries, realizing his mistake, he wasn't eating the fries. He quickly hid the fact he forgot the fries by placing the burger down and making a smooth words, "Yeah."He quickly awkwardly placed the burger down, began fiddling with the ketchup planning to eat fries like someone normal would. This combination of trying to hide the odd movements and awkward squeezing too hard, caused the ketchup to fly in random direction.

Edym was amused seeing Ienzo blush at his compliment and then he chuckled as Ienzo tried to compliment him back.
"So I'm still competing with your computers I see?" asked Edym, teasing him.
He then laughed again.
"I'll take that as a compliment since I know how much you value your equipment. It kind of makes me feel special." said Edym.
It was Edym's turn to blush at that. His parents while great didn't always understand him and he'd gotten into fights with them in more than one occasion about his pursuit of music. They wanted him to be something boring like a doctor or a lawyer. He focused back on Ienzo. He kept eating the fries and then was shocked as the ketchup instead of hitting his fries hit Edym in the face. Edym was stunned by this before he broke into a laugh and tried it.
"Mmm. It's pretty good. But better on fries than me." said Edym.
He then licked his lips clean of it while grabbing a napkin to try to clean the rest but left some right above his mouth.
"See. We're having fun already. I knew this was a good idea." said Edym.
He completely stunned shock written on his face mixed with the brightest blush could ever be sen on his face. One who has ever seen such a thing, Edym, practically matching the ketchup. The blonde broke into a laugh, this stunning the scientist even more highly shocked by the laughter. Slowly he grew to a small laugh hiding behind a smile, the bright redness from the conversation before slowly faded out as he successfully fought off the big laughter. The blonde licked his lips grabbing a napkin, the silver eyes watched memorizing step-by-step what he should do in such a scenario.
He quickly opened a new package after getting over his stunned position, this time being extremely careful feeling surge of pride as the ketchup made the side perfectly. He dipped a fry eating it, once finishing he stared long and hard before speaking in a highly serious tone. "It is always nice to hang with you Homo Sapien Edym. Always seem happy." He held the serious pose quietness for rather uncomfortable long time. Till doubt began to seep in, did he screw it up? He picked up his cup taking cool drinks dropping his temperature. Was he sick? Did he catch something? He felt awful shakey, hot, and heart pounding uncontrollably. Maybe he should cancel bowling lie down? If only he brought some sort of calming pill for fever.
