oo39 [ action ]



[ 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. ]

[ ... 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)

...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.]

[ 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.

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
... I meant that only if I couldn't get into the house! Dummy. [ armpush.

... but now they're at the house and her levity fades. she stares at it uncertainly, then looks at him. ]
You go first. I'll try and follow you in.
perplexme: (nervous)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-17 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
I'm just saying! [But he pushes back lightly before he looks to the front door.] It's nothing to be afraid of. I think. [But he nods slowly and takes the few short steps up and to the front door, resting his hand on the knob and turning it. He pushes the door open, stepping instead the doorframe and looking out to Xion.]

Try it.

[identity profile] aboysface.livejournal.com 2011-05-19 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ She looks up at him, clearly concerned, then swallows hard and nods. Slowly, she moves towards the door. ... up the steps ... and to the door frame. Once she touches it ... she relaxes, her guarded, worried look fading to be replaced with relief. ]

Looks like I can do it after all.
perplexme: (calm)

[personal profile] perplexme 2011-05-19 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, I was kind of looking forward to pitching a tent. [But he smiles and shuts the door behind them.] Welcome home.
