[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. ]

[ What--

Turns. ]

Mewt--

[ WHAT. She can talk! Her hands fly to her throat, then her face --

... ah. This is confusing. The change she senses in her body is not in step with her outward changes. Who is she? What is she? Only her voice is the same. There is a lot of fear in her face as she stares at him. ]

... who do you see?

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

A human woman in a dark cloak, with yellow hair.

[Mewtwo's 'voice' is as impassive as ever, but his head is tilted in careful curiosity.]

eeh? whyy? T_T

[breaks_destiny]

[Keiichi just stares with a wtf expression as the thing starts to move, or well, it keeps moving because it doesn't stop at any moment but suddenly there's even more movement as it flails and twists around. It's a strange scene, pretty confusing, and a bit amusing but the amount of strange and confusion overshadows that. He does notice the necklace falling off though so he moves to get it from the ground, something tells him the thing may have problems getting it itself.]

Oi, you dropped this.

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ It's only once he says the words that her internal image stabilizes. She looks at her hands, arms, down at her body, and sees the black cloak. Reaches up to touch her hair--

... ugh. ]

... Larxene. Of all people...

[ She wraps her arms around her body, staring down at the ground. ]

... do you know who I really am?

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

You are Xion.

[wings, demeanor, the fact that you know me]

cuz she scurred! she'll get over it though.

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ .............................

no.

no, why would that have been....

It is a clawed hand that begins to reach out, but it is a human hand that grasps it. In an instantaneous change, a deeply unhappy looking blond girl stands there, the look in her eyes tender and wounded. She has not yet registered this change. ]

... thank you.

[ At least, not until those words come out. Then her eyes widen, on a soft intake of breath, but she does nothing else just yet. ... who is she now? ]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

... yes. That's my name. Xion. [ Her smile is a broken thing. ]

The -- the Malnosso did something to me. I think they... I think they damaged... [ my programming? my memories? what? she doesn't even know. ]

she better, Keiichi's a good boy

[breaks_destiny]

[...]

Wow.

[There are no words, man. It's... He didn't even blink and suddenly there was a pretty and unhappy looking girl there. With wings. The thing before didn't have them, but still... She's not someone he recognizes... However, that voice...]

Let me guess, you have just returned from being kidnapped?

[Because no one else seems to be changing happily like this.]

give her time!!! it's scary to break in such a public way, man

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ Violet wings! But she's not aware they're visible yet. She nods morosely, her hands gripping the chain of her necklace so hard her knuckles turn white. ]

... I don't know what's happening to me.

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

They made you change form?

[His eyes narrow. Partly trying to get her to continue with her explanation, partly trying to offer a more innocuous option - he noticed when they first met that Xion tends towards the self-deprecating, and gets the feeling that whatever she was about to say would be a bit on the...dire side.]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

... yes. Something like that.

[ Though she's still blond, once again, her form has changed entirely -- to a shorter, younger, much slighter girl in a white dress. But the wings and the necklace still remain. She shakes her head. ]

It's ... it's a long story.

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[okay yeah that's kinda whatthehell]

This is something that's happened before?

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ... she shifts, obviously uncomfortable. ]

... yeah. But I thought -- ... I didn't think it would ever be this bad.

[ After all... Ven, Vanitas, Aqua... She'd been Ven, to all of them. But now she's turning into entirely different people.... entirely different things. She doesn't even remember it being this bad at home. Why is this happening? Why now? Stupid Malnosso... ]

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[... Huh. That's no monster. Ammy can sense the girl in there...

She tilts her head and steps closer, letting out a quiet little whine. Hey there...]

[fabrecation]

[IT'S TOTALLY WEARING SOMETHING. Something Luke recognizes. And it makes him draw the wrong conclusion, as he widens his eyes and chases after it. If it had that ring, then...]

Hey! Where is she?!

awww /hugs

[breaks_destiny]

[Violet wings indeed, but the color doesn't tell him much. The voice is one he is sure to have heard before but he still can't say who it belongs to due not knowing her.

Keiichi smiles and pets her head in a comforting gesture.]

It's okay, don't worry. You're just changing shapes, nothing new we haven't seen around here and it could be worse.

My name's Keiichi Maebara, what's yours?

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ............ aren't you familiar.

For a moment Xion's so caught up in trying to place the thing before her that she forgets her misery.

Then it hits her--

Amaterasu!

Oh, Miyabi will be so happy....

Without really thinking, Xion inches towards her, wishing she could smile. ]

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

...hhhhr.

[The noise was supposed to be thoughtful but probably just came out sounding mumbly. Bah, whatever.]

It's the Malnosso. They will naturally make everything worse.

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ At the sound of the name, he freezes. While it's true he went around being called that name for over a week, the number of people who knew that the boy who looked like Riku and the Heartless form he's in now are the same person is very small. And this isn't anyone he recognizes.

After a bit more hesitation, he takes a little step backwards. ]

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[The girl inside seems... happy. At least, happy to see her. She certainly can't be thrilled about the form she's in...

As Ammy steps closer, she draws a half-circle around Xion in her mind, completing the motion with a subtle movement of her tail. Once she focuses again, a half circle of different kinds of flowers rise up before her.]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ Dusks are very fast, Luke. How quickly can you sprint?

She'll dart behind the bakery as soon as she reaches it. What to do, what to do, what to do....

But a Dusk won't be what Luke sees when he catches up. Instead there will be a pretty woman, tall, with long, curly brown hair, sitting there with her knees curled up to her chest, looking very dejected indeed.

Though her back is to the building, Luke may now be able to spot her violet wings. ]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ She startles, initially scrambling backward ... then settles, just waving and weaving, looking at the flowers. Then she slinks down low, to get a real close look. ... they're so pretty!! She looks up at Amaterasu then, amazed, wishing she could express her appreciation.

She curls up within the half circle of flowers, contented for the moment. ]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

... no kidding. [ miserably. ]

Do you remember what I told you about not being human...? ... I'm made of memories. I think ... I think the Malnosso tampered with them, or ... or maybe they just damaged my programming... [ she bites her lip. never mind that she has rather abruptly, once again, changed outer appearance, to a certain Boy.

she has not sensed the change, and frankly, it would be for the best if she never did, ever. ]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

... Kohan ...

[ Don't you recognize her voice, Rep? Maybe you'll remember those wings, now peeking over her shoulders. Weakly ]

It's ... it's me. Xion.

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ Wuh buh, her hair. Xion shuts one of her eyes when he pets her head, half lifting her hands to stop him, though the gesture stalls midway through. With a sigh she lets her hands drop. ]

... Xion.

[ She still sounds miserable, though. Slowly, she slips her necklace back on, not wanting to drop or lose it. ]
