[ 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. ]

[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?

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-08 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ 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 ]
perplexme: (like that makes sense)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-08 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
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?

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-08 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Is that a Dusk you thought you were hovering over? No, sorry, it's Olette.

... worriedface. ]
perplexme: (uncertain)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-08 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Olette...hey, do you remember that white thing tha--

[...wait, Roxas. Olette left Luceti months ago. Think about this.]

Uh...hi? [...smooth, man. Smooth.]

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-08 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
... hi.

[ ... she speaks! Though a little startled by this revelation, she manages not to lift her hands to her face and hair.

PS: That is not Olette's voice. ]
perplexme: (confused)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-08 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
...what's wrong with your voice?

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
... Roxas, I'm not Olette.

[ Don't you see the violet wings, dude. They're visible now! ]
perplexme: (I'll never understand)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Slow on the uptake, this one. But the wings are a nice fat tip-off.]

Xion...[He's still confused though, reaching out and poking her in the cheek.] But how...?

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-08 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... why are you poking her. The weirdness of it does not allow her to be properly unhappy. She rubs at her cheek and shakes her head. ]

I don't know... all I remember is waking up in the plaza and knowing something was wrong with me. It took me a few minutes to figure out I'd been turned into a Dusk. I thought that was all, but ... I guess not.
perplexme: (whatever you say)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-08 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
...maybe it's magic gone bad. [He's really thinking of the memory he has of Sora's where Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather are busy fighting over his outfit and continually changing him.]

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ This look says "Really, Roxas? Really?" with a tiny, speculative frown. After a pause she shakes her head. ]

It's the Malnosso. They took me last night.
perplexme: (bitch I will cut you)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-09 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Grumbling.] It's still a logical theory.

It's always them, isn't it? I'm going to find them one day and teach them a lesson, just you watch.

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
How is that logical...?

[ Either way, she clambers on out of the bushes, brushing leaves off her clothing as she goes. But she doesn't look up at his words. They're hollow and she knows it but she also knows he wants to mean it. So in the end, all she does is sigh. ]

Right now I just want to go home.
perplexme: (uncertain)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-09 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It just is, okay?

[It's probably best just to ignore him, Xion. Roxas is in one of those moods again. Instead though, he watches her appear, nodding to himself.]


...you think the spell around the house will let you in? I mean you're you, but you don't look like you. I'm not sure how it all works.

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Wh... but I can see it!

[ Sudden dismay, looking back down the road towards their home. If she can see it ... that means she can get in, right? She's still ... she's still her. Shouldn't she still be able to?

... only now she's afraid to even try, and draws in on herself, slightly. ]
perplexme: (spacecase)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-09 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...never hurts to try, right? Let's go see.

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... except she doesn't. She stays right where she is, visibly uncertain about this. ]
perplexme: (wonder)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-09 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Walking, walking...ope, wait.] ...Xion, come on.

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

But ... what if I can't get in? Then what do I do?
perplexme: (calm)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-09 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
...we can always build a tent.

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-09 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
... [ 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.
perplexme: (content)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-10 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[A slight grin.] What? It'd be a great tent. [But he nods toward the house and gestures for her to follow.] If for some reason it doesn't work, we'll see if Axel knows something to help.

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah right. Have you ever put up a tent before? [ tiny grin. ... but the mention of Axel makes her smile fade just a little, and she shakes her head, looking out over the road. ] I could just stay in an apartment for a few days.
perplexme: (...oh)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-14 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
No, but how hard can it be? [His grin fades when hers does though.] Why? That's kind of silly if we can get you into the house.
