[ There is a girl in the woods west of the village. She's unconscious, and wearing a New Feather dress, so it'd be easy to mistake her as part of the crop of new kids.

However, she is anything but new to this place (and new to showing up wearing things other than what she ought to be wearing gosh darnit), and when she comes to, she will sigh, quietly, under her breath. She wakes up groggy and feeling extremely tired, oddly, so she won't bother trying to go anywhere on her own just yet. It is, thankfully, not cold today. However, it is pouring rain, which is also just her luck. So she will curl up at the base of a tree, trying to get shelter from the worst of it, and reach for her (slightly soggy) journal. ]

This has got to stop happening...

( Luke | Locked 100% )

Hey. Sorry I just disappeared like that. Um... can you come pick me up? And bring a coat? Or an umbrella, or something...

[ The first voiced bit, before the filter, was sort of murmured to herself. Now she addresses the journal directly, figuring she's got at least something of a wait ahead of her. ]

Hi, guys. Can anyone tell me what I've missed? Or maybe just how long I've been gone. The draft had only been over for a day or two when I got taken, I think...

Is everyone okay?

[ Of course, Ven and Vanitas are immediately on her mind, but she doesn't say that outright. She also doesn't know about who's left... and who's arrived. She's not aware there's been a new feather cycle at all! Someone ought to get her up to speed.

a day later, in the evening, an additional filter is added to the post. ]

( Richard | Locked 100% )

Hey, um ... I ... wanted to talk to you.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Of course I do! I worked hard to get these.

[And with that, he pulls up his shirt enough to show off dem abs, grinning proudly as he does so. And he did work hard! Totally! Though most of those muscles were probably from Asch and how he trained.]

[ looks at dem abs.

looks up at his face.

looks at dem abs again.

considers.

............ reaches over to attempt to tickle him BLIND because that smugness needs to be taken down a peg. ]

[WHAT

DID YOU JUST

AAAAAHASDFJASDFKJL]

[Obviously she is quite successful, and Luke lets out a surprised squawk before he starts to laugh uncontrollably and tries to flail away, falling back on the bed. asldkfjasodi;fj-]

St-Stop-Stop!

[ VICTORY. Xion is just ear to ear grinning in triumph and mischief as she lays into him, though she only tortures him for a few moments more before having mercy. After all, she's still pretty exhausted. ]

That's what you get!

[Here he thought she was just going to touch them or something. Obviously he is far too trusting of her. B|

Luke just lays there and pants for a few seconds before he turns his head to look up at her with a FACE.]

What did I do?

... I dunno. You just seemed like you deserved it. [ leans back on her hands and grins. ]

Oh, so that's why you attacked me? Because I might have deserved it?

What, so tickling is attacking now? You big baby. [ pushes at his shoulder, holding back laughter at this point. ]

[W-Well! ... Well! He'll push at her shoulder, too!]

Shut up, it is attacking! You can't even fight back or anything! [Except he really is just being a whiner.]

[ ... s-starts to laugh outright. ]

Don't make me tickle you again! I'll do it!

What? You wouldn't!

[NOO WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING AT HIM he'll just pout/glare even more and lift up his legs and arms as if preparing to defend himself.]

I wouldn't, huh?

[ LOOMS over him, griiiiiiinning. she lifts her hands, as if to strike--! ]

[-Except he shoots his hands out to grab her wrists.]

Yeah, you wouldn't.

[ foiled. she wiggles her fingers ineffectually, then sticks her tongue out at him. ]

Cheater.

[Oi. B| Luke pulls her wrists apart a few more inches so that he can lean in closer and- stick his tongue out right back at her.]

Attacker.

[ --she hovers for a moment, because he's kinda closer now, and the mischievousness of her smile wavers for a moment, overtaken by something a little more tender. then the moment passes and she tugs at her hands, laughing. ]

You're just mad I caught you off guard.

[And... that makes Luke hover for a moment, his scowl fading just a bit to blink over an IDEA that popped into his head.

It might just be a bad idea, but it's there, and it's not getting out of his head. Obviously, this means Luke must follow through with it.

Watch out, Xion; he's got a mischievous smirk of his own.]

So what if I am?

[And with that, he fall back on the bed... But not without pulling Xion's arms in an attempt to make her fall over with him.]

[ ... askdljgha;skldhga!!

If she were less tired, she might resist .... but really, he's stronger and weighs more than her. There's no way she isn't getting dragged down, and with an undignified squawk of surprise she lands half on top of him, their torsos pressed together, blinking in his face a few times.

... then immediately she starts to wriggle and struggle a little, still trying to free her hands. ]

That's not fair! I wasn't ready...

Gee, what're you so mad about? Being caught off guard?

[..............I-Ignoring the fact that their torsos are pressed together totally ignoring that. Instead he'll opt to give a bored look as he keeps his hands locked on her wrists. THAT OUGHTA TEACH YA.]

[ ... defeated. she drops her chin to let it rest on his chest and gives him some forlorn puppy dog eyes. kinda. ]

Oh, shut up. I think you're still mad I got there first. [ ... tiny smile. are the puppy dog eyes still working? no? ] Besides, I'm still really tired! I have an excuse.

[Hey hey, Mieu has the mother of all puppy dog eyes CONSTANTLY and Luke finds them annoying, so there's no way he'll fall for it.

... There's no way. Totally.

...

Except Xion is pulling it off right. Nnngh...

Fine, he'll let go of her. BUT ONLY BECAUSE SHE'S ADMITTED DEFEAT, THAT'S ALL.]

That's a pretty lame excuse. [But that indignant tone is out of his voice; in fact, he sounds quite fond and amused, and he brings his hand around to thread into her hair while he lowers his head a bit to smile down at her.]

But it's true...

[ though there's little force behind her words now; in fact, she's only murmuring, her eyes slipping shut as soon as his hand threads into her hair. but though her eyes have slipped closed, she's smiling faintly, and now that her arms are free, she brings them up to loosely nestle them around Luke's neck, as much as their position allows. ]

[Oi, Xion, if you fall asleep on him Luke will not be able to get up for who knows how long. Not that he minds, but what if he has to go to the bathroom?

... Except he really doesn't mind, and he nuzzles his nose to the top of Xion's head before he leans his own back to shut his eyes and just enjoy her being there. He has things to talk to her about, things that have been bothering him ever since Asch left, but... They can wait. At least, they can wait until she isn't so exhausted. It'd be pretty unfair to weigh her down with such things when she's tired.]

[ ... she might be starting to drift, yeah. he's warm and lovely and an excellent pillow.

but she is a thoughtful girl, and she won't trap him. while she's still semi awake she shifts, curling up next to him instead of on top of him. she hugs his arm to her chest and cuddles close, eyes still shut. ... okay, hugging his arm is sort of trapping him anyway, but he could extricate himself after she fell asleep, right...?

... oh, she can't sleep here. her friends will worry... or just lineface the hell out of her, considering they know who picked her up. she really should go home...

of course, being only semi-awake as she thinks these leads her to try and articulate her thoughts, to only manage a single, tiny, sleepy sound. ]
