[ 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?]

Because it amuses me far too much for them to meet like this >>

[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.]

there is no way this will end well

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

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

Inch closer maybe? Inch inch inch? ]

[soracles.livejournal.com]

[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.]

Awesome first meeting?

[breaks_destiny]

[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?

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

Going somewhere?

[perplexme]

[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.]

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[divinepooch.livejournal.com]

[... Huh. That's no monster. Ammy can sense the girl in there...

She tilts her head and steps closer, letting out a quiet little whine. Hey there...]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

[Whoa, what is that thing?

So bizarre... Well, Ven's curious enough to follow the creature.]

Hey...

[hisdarkmark]

[...okay so. It's not a ghost, it's not a ghoul, and it's not a goblin...but it's most certainly not human.] What the bloody hell is that thing?

[Originally, Draco had been out wandering, trying to clear his head up a bit when he spotted the creature. On the bright side, everything he had been thinking about suddenly disappeared upon seeing the Dusk. On the down side, he's a little freaked out and therefore the wand's easily sliding into his hand, keeping it up his sleeve until he actually needs it.]

And just where do you think you're going?

[meteorical]

[Probably to Xion's unhappy discovery, Kairi is currently on the porch of house 14. When the Dusk arrives in front of the house, the redhead makes no moves to scare it off or even attack. She has her Keyblade, sure, but she's mostly just going to stare right at it. One moment the space where the Dusk was was empty; the next, this white creature was swaying, staring at the house. Because of that though, she's going to assume it's entirely harmless for the moment.]

...lost?

sob I'm late to the party

[flaring]

[...Dusk.

Now there's something he hasn't seen in years. And you know, despite the fact last time Axel saw any Dusks it did not end well, he's not even going to try to attack it (just yet). He's mostly interested on why one of them is here suddenly.]

Man, been a while since I've seen one of you.

Here, let me make Axel feel better about being late.

[blessingone]

[ Fenimore isn't quite as calm about running into what appears to be a monster on her way back from getting groceries. She pretty much freezes on the spot. At least she doesn't scream? But the bag she's carrying slowly slips from her hand and lands with the sound of something inside it shattering. Whoops. Looks like she'll have to clean that bag later.

In the meantime, the sudden sound while looking at something that looks like a monster nearly gives her a heart attack. Unfrozen, she squeaks from muffling a shriek and scrambles back several steps. ]

even more lateness?? if you don't mind... XD;

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[What... a weird creature.

Aerith pauses in her walk, holding the basket of flowers a little closer to her as she eyes the being from where it's peeking out.]

Hello?

[That can't be a resident...can it?]

latest of all! /sobs

[seiriald]

[Hello, Xion, we've met before, except that time we both looked and sounded like boys, not that it really matters because she was still blind then, just like now yup.

And she cannot see that the poor frightened soul from then is now a swaying... creepy thing. And is still frightened, what is up with this person? :|a]

Hey...?

[Is that...?

From a distance, Riku isn't quite sure what this thing is, and he certainly hasn't noticed the ring. However, he's curious enough to come up and see what's going on.

Tempting as it is to draw his weapon, he'll hold back... for now.]
