[ 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. ]

[ 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. ]

... 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.

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Oh. Oh. Now he does. Now that he's not reeling with...

Xion, what happened to you? He moves closer again, not entirely sure what... what's he supposed to do? Are you alright? Why... ]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ... she reaches out to him once more, with a human hand this time.

She wishes she had the answers. But right now she's just scared to death, and wants his company very much. ]

I lost track of my journal... I think it's still at the house. Sorry. I wish I could hear your voice, right now...

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ He's got no voice now 8(

Rep doesn't move away this time. This is still really strange, but it's Xion. He's not going to just leave her like this, if he can... do anything. ]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ She just wants his company, as long as he's willing to stay...

A sigh escapes her, and she shifts a little, gently touching his head. She hasn't noticed this newest change in her appearance. ]

I miss you a lot, Kohan. One of the very few nice things about that experiment a little while back was getting to see you normal again. It'd be nice to talk to you normally again, without the journals or anything...

... Bibble. You. Are a horrible person.

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ I'm sorry were you saying something.

Because Rep's brain has just completely flat lined. ]

You knew this was coming.

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ... blink. ]

Kohan?

YES BUT WHAT SHE WAS SAYING ;;

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Namine.

Namine.

It's Xion but it's Namine.

How is he supposed to

What is he supposed to

Namine ]

DID I RUIN EVERYTHING

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ... slowly, she lifts her hands to her face.

Her hair.

Who is she?

... is she -- is she wearing a white dress? ]

... Kohan ... who do you see?

YOU'RE BREAKING HIM. Just a bit.

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Namine.

He sees Namine.

It's Xion and he knows it's Xion but it's Namine.

He wants to say something but he doesn't know what he wants to say but why does Xion look like Namine ]

... oh. well. oops? 8)

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ... he's so still.

One girl pops to mind, because she could be her right now and it'd make sense and who else would do this to Kohan.... and... ]

I'm Namine, aren't I? [ her voice, so soft, even sounds like the other girl's. ]

SOB, BIBBLE. /SOB/

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ At the name, he flinches, and his gaze immediately drops to the ground.

He doesn't nod. But he doesn't really have to, does he? ]

I almost changed her but then decided keeping her as Nami was more fun.

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ... she looks so sad. ]

.... I'm so sorry. Should I go?

we're so horrible

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ HUGE HEAD SHAKE.

Don't go.

Just. Don't go.

It hurts but he needs someone right now. ]

pretty much the wrost ever, yep

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

... okay.

[ She'll scoot a little closer to him, and rest a hand on his head again.

This sucks. ]

I blame you

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ He finally manages to look up from the ground, but he can't bring himself to look at her face again. It feels like something is twisting his heart right now and he doesn't want to think about how much he misses Namine or how awkward it is that the girl he's been nursing a crush on now looks like her ]

i am fine with that. 8> ... WHY CAN'T I SPELL? *WORST

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

I...

[ ... ]

... that kind of totally ruined what I was saying, huh. [ With very faint, sad humor. ]

because THEY TOOK YOUR SPELLING IN RETRIBUTION

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ He lies. He shakes his head, and he lies because it's Xion, and really, Xion's been the closest thing he's had to Namine for much longer than he wants to think about.

He lies because it's almost Namine, and it's far too comforting to pretend. ]

BUT I AM INNOCEEEEEEEEEEEEEENT

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ ... gently, slowly, she pets his head. The movements are light and meant to be soothing. But she has no idea if they are. It's so frustrating that he can't talk... ]

I still believe we'll get you back in a real body someday, Kohan. I don't know how, but we will.

THAT IS A LIE

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ A slow nod. He's not... sure he believes that anymore. It's been so long since he was actually in his real body, experiments aside.

He wants to go back, but it almost feels as if he only wants it because he's supposed to. ]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ As long as he wants it. That has to be a first step of ... some sort.

Finally, Xion will stand. She can't stay here forever, especially not if she changes again. ]

... I should go. ... you could come with me, if you want ... as far as the house.

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ He nods and starts to move after her. Company is nice.

Company is nice. ]

[aboysface.livejournal.com]

[ She lets a hand trail at the level of his head as they walk, occasionally brushing one of the bigger, longer spines that comes back off the top. Why she does it, she doesn't really know. Comforting touches ... just feel right, somehow. ]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Rep moves into the touches just a little bit. Because he doesn't want to admit that it's comforting, though he's not... entirely sure to whom. Still, they're nice, and he doesn't want them to go away just yet. ]
