[fourteen]

[ There is a creature in the plaza.

Though initially it hid behind the clothing shop, it seems to be venturing out now, just slightly ... looking for an opening to sneak away.

Can this creature summon portals on its own? Xion does not understand it, this body. She has seen these things before, of course, but to BE one? It's strange and terrifying. She'd known before, when she had Sora's face, felt it, but ... hadn't that been an exception? She'd tried -- right now, she couldn't even talk. And she could feel it. This wrong face, this wrong body, not hers. The only thing that might mark her, right now, is a curious (possibly cruel) artifact the Malnosso let her keep upon her return. Around the creature's neck, on a chain, is a ring. Xion does not seem to have realized it is there. She has rather more important things on her mind, after all.

Turned into a Dusk. The one threat Xemnas always turned on his members should they become unruly. She'd known. But how... he's not here! She'd only been taken for a night at most. How could the Malnosso....

What is wrong with her?

Should you be about in the evening, you may see this creature trying to rush, twist, and dart its way back to house 14 in that odd, swaying way Dusks seem to move.

But be careful if you run into her while you're out -- she just might turn into someone else entirely. ]

[ ... except she doesn't. She stays right where she is, visibly uncertain about this. ]

[perplexme]

[Walking, walking...ope, wait.] ...Xion, come on.

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

I've?

[ --ah.

She starts, though tries to keep it under wraps. She does her very, very best not to raise her hands to touch her face, though for a moment there is a bit of panic around her eyes. It fades quickly, though. ]

... who do I look like to you, Draco?

YY, and because this made me realize Aerith hasn't talked to Kairi yet either

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Resetting has tripped me up SO many times, pft]

[She's still alarmed herself, but seeing this girl struggling with confusion too... she shakes her head.]

It's--It's okay. You just startled me. It's not your fault if you can't control it. Are you... okay? [She sighs.] No, that's probably not the right question to ask! Turning into something just like that isn't okay at all.

[...Sorry, Xion. She thinks she's talking to the real deal now.]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ .... ] Kohan. [ She refuses to call him Riku's Replica. She wouldn't stand to be called Sora's Replica, after all. ] He's still a Heartless, but I don't think he'd be happy to see me like this.

[ That's probably not what Kairi meant, but ... it's the only sort of roundabout way to confirm they're in fact talking about the same person without going "Oh, you know. Riku's replica." ]

[hisdarkmark]

[He tilts his head a bit, mostly because he's not sure of the boy's name. He's never met Ven or Roxas, so he doesn't know there are two possibilities.]

Some sort of blond boy. Someone from home, I assume.

[meteorical]

[And she just nods. She won't push the issue, but rather merely accept that they are talking about the same person.] I don't think he would either...especially given how much she means to him. We'll just have to be careful.

[breaks_destiny]

[Keiichi just nods.]

Okay I'll be back in a bit.

[Maybe a bit longer, depending on how fast he gets a couple of sandwiches. But he will return, eventually.]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ... ]

But ... what if I can't get in? Then what do I do?

[fabrecation]

[... Oh

God

That

Voice

is just like Mieu. Okay, not just like, but

Luke's eyes widen a little, and he groans inwardly. At least Xion doesn't act like Mieu... asldfkjadsfkj.]

... Yeah. [He lifts up his hand so that she's more level with his face.] You're some kind of... fairy now.

... oh! that should happen, yeah. /draws you slowly into KH cast shenanigans

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

... no, it's not. [ Her smile is sad, but a little appreciative, too. She hasn't caught on that Aerith thinks she's really Kairi, and that's ... probably for the best. ] The Malnosso took me last night. I don't know what they did, but ... this is how I ended up.

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ Does Mieu sulk? Cuz she sulking. This sucks. She can't even hug her boyfriend now, life is awful. Plus, being lifted up on somebody's hand is weird and hard. She ends up falling back down as he lifts her, then irritably pushes back to her feet once the motion stops. ]

Great. Now I'm going to have to be carried everywhere. I want this to be over already!

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

Which means, you're randomly shuffling through your connections.

[fabrecation]

You're not the only one. [Because good god that voice. But... huh.] You've got wings, though... Bigger wings, I mean. You could try flying!

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ It's enough to stop her. Her ... connections? Can that be it? ... but how would she be connected to a Dusk? She's just a Replica... not a Nobody. ]

My... [ She bows her head, cradling it in a hand, staring through her fingers at the ground ] Can that be right...?

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ... fidget.

She just keeps her head down and stays to the side of the door until he gets back, not looking at anyone else who might be around.

Sanji...

By the time Keiichi returns, she'll be yet another girl. Brown hair trails out from beneath her hood, this time. ]

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

Just my guess... speaking from experience. Hard to know without all the facts.

[perplexme]

...we can always build a tent.

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

... really? [ She can't help but be intrigued by this idea. Looking over her shoulder...

... why yes. There are wings. This is weird beyond belief since this isn't her body but ... she tries to give them a flap.

They work!

Flutter flutter. Briefly she gets them up to speed, lifting herself unsteadily about an inch above his palm ... but she quickly loses her balance and tumbles back down. ] Ow...

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

Like I said, I'm just not going to go outside for a week.

[ She makes a beeline for the kitchen. She hasn't eaten since last night, and she's pretty hungry. ]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ... wince, kinda. That doesn't tell her if it's Ven or Roxas. ] Yeah... a friend of mine, from the sound of it.

[ ... could be either friend. ]

... which is pretty awkward. I hope he doesn't see me like this...

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

... [ she gives him a gentle push on the arm, but hey, she's smiling. ] You big dork. Fine, we'll try the house and see.

[fabrecation]

[Luke gave a quiet and brief laugh once she lifted herself up. Ha... She really could fly! That must feel so - oh. Maybe she can't quite fly - Luke holds up both hands, one to catch her and the other to make sure she doesn't lose her balance and fall again.]

Hey, you almost got it! Try one more time. [He kind of sounds... excited about this!]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ... she clenches a hand over her chest, and edges her foot back a little more, but ...

... as much as she hates to admit it, Vanitas might be one of the few people who can help her figure this out. But she can't give him too much information... ]

Speaking from experience, huh? What would you know about it? I bet you've never had anything like this happen to you. Sure, you look like Sora, but you've never looked like anyone but him.

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

Wrong on all counts. Helps to know what you're talking about before you tote assumptions like facts.

I only gained this face after Ventus was revived.
