[ 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. ]

[ ............ 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. ]

[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]

[ 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. ]

[That's enough for Ammy, then. She stops and sits once she's a couple of feet away, just watching, her head tilted just slightly. What happened to her? This isn't her true form. She even leans her head forward a little, as if to sniff at her and figure out what's happened.]

[ Hello, was that a Dusk you were looking at? It's now some boy. Just kinda sitting on the ground now, though Xion has yet to catch up on the change. ]

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[If Ammy is surprised, she doesn't show it. Instead, she completes the lean until she can sniff properly. Does she still smell like Xion? Or... like this boy she turned into?]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ Mostly, she will still smell like herself. But there will be another scent there. In this case, that of the boy. When the memories that make up her core are this volatile, in a way, she does take on some actual aspects of the people she turns into.

It's only when Xion reaches out to touch one of the flowers -- and realizes that she's able to touch one of the petals -- that she realizes her form has changed, again. But she doesn't know into what, or who. With a groan, she rests her head in her hands. ]

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[That smell is... kind of familiar. She's met her before, hasn't she? But that still doesn't really answer what's happened. Ammy sits on the other side of the flowers, and she lowers her head to sniff at her hair, just to let her know she's there.]

Roo?

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ... with a sigh and a resigned smile, she reaches up to pat the pooch on the head. ]

Hey... you're Amaterasu, aren't you?

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

I'm Xion.

[ ... a beat. ]

Though I don't ... normally look like this.
