[ 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. ]

[What odd timing Luke has. He'd just been out to get away from Asch for a while, because everyone knows they need some time away from each other sometimes. Otherwise they'd probably kill each other, and what better time than in the evening?

He'd just been looking at the stars that are peeking out one by one when he hears a scuttling noise. It sounds a bit like a snake slithering loudly through the grass, and so Luke stops and looks toward the noise -

SHIT SHIT WHAT THE CHRIST WHAT IS THAT THING CREEPY SWAYING SHOULD HE FIGHT IT WHAT THE HELL IS - it wearing?]

[Hello. Katara's on her way to visit someone, carrying a basket full of flowers, and you are an odd looking creature - don't mind her as she stops and stares.]

[ Okay. That is not anything Rep has seen around before. What is that thing?

Inch closer maybe? Inch inch inch? ]

[he knows that form-- he's taken a raked limb to the face or any other part of his body so often that every memory of every encounter with a Dusk has melded into one, familiar blur; a knowledge of how to fight them has evolved into instinct.]

[and though he'd seen a single Heartless scurrying around Luceti, and it doesn't surprise him that a Nobody would be around, too, he's still... there's a ghost of caution there as he approaches, Keyblade already in hand. because Sora has learned that nothing he's ever bumped into in this world has ever been what it seems.]

[In Luceti one is bond to see their share of odd and strange things, but it seems there's always room for something new. Keiichi can't help to stare, but... Well, they are in the middle of a New Feather cycle, right? And that creature.. He isn't sure of it's moving with a purpose or not.]

O-Oi, hello? Are you new?

Going somewhere?

[It doesn't take Roxas long to register what he's just seen twist in front of him as it approaches his house.

The question, he supposed, is what would a Dusk want to do with their house and how would it...no. Screw it, now's not the time to ask questions. He summons his Keyblades and slowly prepares to stalk the Dusk. Even if it were to turn and attack, he'd be ready. Hold on, Dusk, this Nobody's currently following you.]

[ NOTHING. IT IS WEARING NOTHING, YOU DON'T SEE ANYTHING AT ALL.

She doesn't see him yet, as she's looking back over her shoulder -- apparently, even though this creature has no visible eyes with which to see. It's only when she slithers some few feet closer that she spots him, freezes, and draws up tight and narrow.

For a moment, she hovers there, quivering. Then she abruptly darts away. ]

[ ... of course she'd get spotted. Did she think she'd get home with no trouble?

Xion pauses when she spots Katara. ... shivers and twitches, too, in that way that Dusks do, but she doesn't move.

... please go away. ;; ]

[ Oh Rep. She'd know you immediately. And being stuck in the body that you are, well. You're the only person in Luceti she isn't scared of right now.

Though hesitant, she too inches towards him. She extends a "hand," a clawed, bound up thing, though not in threat. The motion is slow, and gentle. ]

[ ... nononononononono.

No no no!! Why didn't she think of this?! Of COURSE the boys would just Keyblade her! They wouldn't know any better! Stupid!

Xion freezes at the sight of him -- and his Keyblade -- then promptly darts away to hide behind a bench. Only once safely ensconced behind this barrier does she poke her head up, watching him warily. ]

[ ... well, he's not staring at her like he's going to kill her. Or run away in fear. That's a new one, so far. She watches him warily for a moment, weaving and waving in that way Dusks do, never still, then slowly inches closer. She stops a safe distance away, and slowly shakes her head. No. ]

[ If a Dusk could shriek, it would do so right now. As it is Xion goes dead still for an instant then bristles wildly, her "hood" unzipping in a sudden burst (and silent hiss) as she darts backwards and away, though she never stops facing him. She keeps her clawed hands out in front of her and her body low to the ground, not attacking, but very much on guard.

... of all the people to run into ... ]

[ He tilts his head, mostly confused. He's not feeling particularly threatened, but uh... what are you? ]

[ It was, of course, only once she'd gotten close that Xion had realized the fault in her plan.

The boys would see a Dusk. What would SHE do if she saw a Dusk? Probably go for a weapon, that's what. And she knows in her heart that's what all the boys will do. She can't go home. She'd come to a stop on the road, skulking and twisting about in one spot, trying to figure out what to do ...

She hasn't seen Roxas yet, Roxas being the creepy stalker that he is. She stares at the house for a moment, everything about her posture hunched ... almost sad. But Dusks can't be sad, right?

Finally she continues down the road, slowly, not looking back. Where can she possibly go...? ]

[ The hand is withdrawn.

Xion shakes her head. She doesn't know what to do... what to try and communicate. It would be easier if he saw her as someone else... but she's not even sure what's happening to her, right now.

She comes closer and huddles down beside him, not really trying to communicate anything further for now. She's just glad of the company. ]

[ Not that he's objecting, but this is kinda strange. Mostly because he is so confused what this creature is. He's been to a lot of worlds and never seen anything like this.

Sorry Xion but he's gonna be... staring quite a bit. It's mostly curiosity! ]

[ That's okay. Xion will just settle down there, quiet. Though Repliku might find that -- between one instant and the next -- her appearance rather abruptly changes. It is literally instantaneous. How it happened is hard to say. One second there was a Dusk, and the next second there is Olette, sitting there cross legged on the ground, a kind of sad, wistful look on her face.

She does not seem to realize the change, just yet. ]

[This thing... It never stays still or what. He blinks at the shaking of the head, he thinks it shook its head at least, it may have just been a tick or something.]

No? So you have been in Luceti for a while now?

[ ...

SCRAMBLESCRAMBLEWHAT

Rep stumbles backwards a few feet, not entirely sure if he should feel threatened or... Okay, how did you do that so quickly? Also, who are you, but that can wait until later. ]

[The fuck is that?

It must be a New Feather. Mewtwo would remember seeing something like it around before. It seems...skittish?

He stops to stare as it passes.]

[ startled. ]

What--

[ Hands go over her mouth. She spoke! Words came out! Her fingers splay over her face. Her eyes are far away, but only because ... the internal change is going more slowly than the external one. She can't even tell who -- or what -- she is, right now.

It's pretty terrifying.

Dazed beyond belief, she looks in Rep's general direction, though not actually at him. ]

... Kohan?

[ ... slow nod.

A thought occurs to her. Aren't her wings there? She tries to reach her back -- fails -- peers over her shoulder -- and comically twists around in place a few times before settling, somewhat irritated by the set of her body, so that she faces Keiichi again.

Unbeknownst to her, her wings are hidden, at the moment -- a Dusk's body being a rather peculiar thing.

In her twisting and shifting, the necklace she was wearing has fallen off, and tumbled to the ground, though she doesn't notice. ]

[ It? What "it" are you referring to? There is no creature here.

There is a woman, in a long black cloak. She is simply standing there, lost in thought.

But when did that change happen? Too fast to have occurred even in the space of a blink.

Helpfully, however, there is now a pair of violet wings visible on her back. ]

[wait wh-

....ohhhh.

Telepathy tends to startle people. Mewtwo sits back and makes a quiet throat-clearing noise instead.]
