[ 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. ]

[Luke won't tell her whose body she has, either. It doesn't really matter to him, now that he knows Xion's in there, so why should he point it out?

He's about to offer to let her stay in his apartment when she asks that question. He can't help it after that - he has to give a helpless little grin as he gestures with his free hand towards her chest.]

I don't think anyone else would have that unless they took it from you... or did something to you.

... that's true. [ stop trying to cheer her up, it's working. ): tiny smile. ] I'll try. It's just a little scary, that's all.

[ what up clothing store. Xion leads the way in, though once inside she seems to barely know where to start. ]

You want me to leave?

[He was expecting to go up behind the Dusk and whack its head off and that be the end of that. What he wasn't expecting was the Dusk to...turn around and start to walk off. He lowers his Keyblades a bit (not much, mind you, but a bit) as he starts to follow it again. There's something very off about this situation.]

Where are you going?

[But to cheer her up is the point of trying to!]

I would say that I can imagine, but I can't because I haven't had this exactly happen to me. But you're not alone and everyone here is mostly used to those things. It may be confusing and startling at first, but I'm sure everyone will understand.

[No worries, Keiichi actually spent several months there helping New Feathers with finding clothes and such. He still does every now and then, so he makes a beeline and starts pulling out coats.]

We want one with a hood, right? Any color in special?

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

The ring! ]

[...okay so. It's not a ghost, it's not a ghoul, and it's not a goblin...but it's most certainly not human.] What the bloody hell is that thing?

[Originally, Draco had been out wandering, trying to clear his head up a bit when he spotted the creature. On the bright side, everything he had been thinking about suddenly disappeared upon seeing the Dusk. On the down side, he's a little freaked out and therefore the wand's easily sliding into his hand, keeping it up his sleeve until he actually needs it.]

And just where do you think you're going?

[ Immediately her hands go to it, and she turns crimson with shame and embarrassment. She clutches it tightly and bows her head, her sudden new found sheet of red hair falling forward to hide her face ]

... I wasn't going to tell you, I ... I just wanted to ... to keep it on me, but I knew wearing it on my hand would send the wrong message so I... [ a quiet groan. She hadn't wanted him to -- he doesn't want it, she didn't want to force it on him, she just wanted to -- to keep the ring close ... ]

[Probably to Xion's unhappy discovery, Kairi is currently on the porch of house 14. When the Dusk arrives in front of the house, the redhead makes no moves to scare it off or even attack. She has her Keyblade, sure, but she's mostly just going to stare right at it. One moment the space where the Dusk was was empty; the next, this white creature was swaying, staring at the house. Because of that though, she's going to assume it's entirely harmless for the moment.]

...lost?

[ ... gives him a crooked smile. ]

You don't think I could go hide out in the mountains for a week, do you?

[ it's not a serious question... but she kinda wishes she could. ]

[ ............. is that a Draco.

DRACO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She WOULD rush right over to him like she did Ven, because hey what up family AU bestest buddy, but she knows it's in Draco's nature to be way more cautious ... and she doesn't want to be magicked to death. So she pauses when he calls out, then turns to face him.

... swaying and sweeping from side to side.

After a moment, she offers a comically exaggerated shrug. ]

[ ... oh. um. hi kairi.

Is that a Dusk you thought you saw? Now it's Riku. Riku in a blindfold.

Not sensing this change just yet, Xion just slooooowly shakes her head. ]

[... Oh hi Kairi, who is basically Xion with red hair like him. At least he's got a reason to seem a little awkward now. Kairi always gave him a whole set of mixed feelings... Even though he still knows that it's Xion in there, especially when she speaks.]

R-Really, it's okay. You can wear it however you want to. [It honestly doesn't really matter to Luke. It's not like he's never had a girl ask him about marriage before... And he knows how special that ring is to Xion now. Why stop her?]

[ FREEZE.

TURN AROUND.

IS THAT ROXAS WITH TWO KEYBLADES.

OH GOD RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Darting ... behind ... some bushes now, tyvm. Please don't Keyblade me I'm innocent ]

[ Nod.

Is this a Dusk folding its arms over its chest? Yes. Yes it is. ]

[Yeah see Draco VERY MUCH APPRECIATES THIS. He'd flip shit if the Dusk came rushing at him, but the fact that it shrugs puts a new spin on the situation. He blinks for a moment before taking a cautious step forward.]

...so you can understand me. Can't you?

[ But she had a fine bad mood going and he is ruining it!! ]

.... I know. I do, it's just ... thank you, Keiichi. [ her smile is warm, and real. and quite a feat, considering how scared she was a little while ago.

... oh and hey, look at him go. A little startled, Xion just watches him. ]

No, not really... anything is fine.

[She doesn't really answer, not in an obvious way. She shuts her eyes briefly in respond to the pat, and she lets her tail give a little wag. Yes, it's her. And you're...

...

Actually, she still doesn't know.]

[...um. What just happened.]

...oh, Riku, it's just you. ...why are you wearing that?

[ Are we awkward enough yet? Has the minimum awkwardness threshold been reached? Can we go for the maximum? Let's do that. That is a good plan.

Slowly she lowers her hands, instinctively brushing her hair back, though what color she sees may be quite different from what he sees. She glances at him out of the corner of her eye, uncertainly, then looks down at the ground again. ]

... it's like they're making fun of me. Just messing around with the puppet because they can...

Hey, get back here! [Because running away has stopped Roxas from chasing things before. He's going to rush over to those bushes, hovering over the Dusk.] Well?

... what?!

[ The word rips out of her, explosively. That is not Riku's voice.

SHE'S RIKU?

Oh god. This cannot get any worse.

Agonized, Xion reaches up to her face ... her hair is way too long. Is that ... is that a blindfold? Why can she see anyway?! She tears the stupid thing off, unbelievably flustered and upset.

Of all the bodies to end up with. ]

I'm not Riku!

[ A patient nod. ]

[bah, the most fun part of fine bad moods is to ruin them. Keiichi just smiles back warmly, happy to see that she seems to feel better. It doesn't take long for him to pull this coat out.]

How about this, then? I bet it'll look good on you... Both now and when you're appearance is the normal one.

[Probably.]

It looks pretty winter like but it seems the material is actually thin so it shouldn't be too hot for now.

[ Is that a Dusk you thought you were hovering over? No, sorry, it's Olette.

... worriedface. ]
