[ Waking up in a forest in a white sundress when it's cold and snowing is no fun at all, especially when she is dead certain she's not supposed to be here at all. She's clutching the journal she found to her chest as she makes her slow way through the trees, shivering violently. Every so often she stops and sets the journal down so she can cast a Fire spell to try and warm her hands a bit. She's desperate to find some shelter, anywhere she can get out of this cold and just have a moment to think through what the heck is happening here.

But she has no idea where she's going, and finally she stops, letting a few particularly hard shivers pass before she looks down at the journal in her arms. Her musings are a little muddled by her teeth chattering, yes. ]

I don't understand... I'm n-n-not supposed to be here, and I don't even know what happened to my clothes, or what this little book is for.

[ And she glances over her shoulder, frowning softly. ]

And I've g-g-got these wings ... last time I checked, I definitely didn't have wings.

[ Heaving a sigh, she hugs the journal close to her chest again, and rubs a hand up and down one arm, staring at the sky. ]

W-W-What's going on...?

(ooc; I tried, but alas. spoilers abound in comments!)

Yeah, the rivers all go to town. If you're near hills and mountains, go downstream, and if you're not go upsteam. It's pretty easy.

[Have a doorslam as he leaves his apartment.]

What size shoes do you wear?

[ what. ] ... he what?

No... not much at all. That's why I left. Everything I learned about myself I learned on my own, by sneaking out... or from Riku, later.

[ she shakes her head again. this is derailing from where she wanted it to go. ] Roxas ... are you ... okay with this? With me being ... what I am.

...long story.

I had to learn a lot from leaving too...I get it.

[There's a pause then as he thinks this over.] I think...I just need to get used to it. It's one of those things, you know?

Okay, I'll look for it. I'm pretty sure I can retrace my steps.

[ what. ]

I ... I don't know! I never thought to ask... our uniforms are given to us.

[And now he is mightily confused.]

...Huh?

[But he doesn't stop moving, and apparently decides that that can wait until he finds her. Because this is sounding like a long story.]

I'll just grab you some sneakers and a couple pairs of socks then.

... I think I need to hear this story, later.

[ she still ... looks worried, but she nods. ] I ... may just be a replica, Roxas, and you may not remember me ... or at least, not everything ... but you'll always be my best friend, okay? You and Axel.

[ bravely tries a smile. ]

Haha, of course not.

[ but but. what do I do. ]

It's big ... how do I find a room? Do I just pick one that's empty?

Later. Much later.

I know...nothing's going to change, okay? [Other than, you know, everything totally just changed. But he's trying not to make it a big deal and he grins slightly.]

[ it goes over her head, for now, that he doesn't realize what she means. clueless kids are clueless together! instead she's just staring her walk back, trying to locate where she heard that water the first time. but his kindness does get a small smile from her, finally, and it comes through in her voice. ]

Thanks, Sora. Sorry for all the trouble.

... if you say so.

[ the tension she's been holding close since she first heard his voice finally, visibly runs out of her. she is so unspeakably grateful to hear those words, and she smiles at him, really smiles, though it's tinged with sadness in its own way. ]

Okay. Come on, let's stop standing here and get out of the cold.

[Yes Xion, you're definitely based off part of him at least.]

No problem! So you find that river yet?

[He nods in agreement and starts walking a little faster, waiting for Xion to catch up.] Definitely, we can talk more where it's not freezing.

[ she follows, matching his pace. she's quite a bit more cheerful, now! in another attempt to keep warm, she brings her hands up and curls them beneath her chin, hiding them against the warmer skin of her neck. ]

I don't think I've ever been this cold in my life. Whose idea was it to stuck people in light dresses when it's so cold out, anyway? [ makes a faaace. ]

[ Sora is the source of all derp. ]

No ... it was a couple of minutes ago that I heard it. I'll find it, though!

[He's also the source of some kickass, at least?]

Okay, just give me a couple minutes and I'll be out there!

[He's heading for the square and he wishes it was nice enough to skateboard.]

[Roxas is just leading them straight back to the apartment he shares with Axel, laughing a little at her statement.]

If it makes you feel better? They dumped me here in just a pair of pants, but it wasn't as cold yet.

[ very true! though Xion no longer shares in this badass as her Keyblade is gone, alas. ]

Alright!

[ in the meantime searching, searching, searching-- oh hey! after a minute or two she hears the water, and not long after she comes upon the river. ]

Hey, I found it!

[ this is kind of exciting. much as she knows it'll be hard at first, she's just so happy to be with her friends again. roxas gets a surprised look for his story, though. ]

No way! They didn't even give you a shirt? This place is so weird. Do they have something against normal clothes?

[oh-ho, so she's not leeching off Roxas anymore? Good, that answers a question we had]

Great! Okay, I got some shoes and socks and a coat and some pants, I'll be out there soon.

[He brought his schoolbag to ransack the clothing shop. And no, he hadn't noticed the new Organization coat in there. Or if he had, he assumed it was a spare for Roxas.]

Basically, yeah. I guess I could help out if you want, but I've actually never been to this apartment building.

... [How to play this off ...] It's nothing. I just forgot it was time for the new guys to start showing up, that's all.

~~Don't tell me....~~

Did you just get here, miss? ~~In the snow and cold, too! Better grab an extra coat and blanket and go grab her!~~

Nope, they never give the guys shirts. They have something against making us comfortable, I think. But they've got stores in town where they usually keep our regular clothes and stuff. We can check for anything they might have left you later when it's not so cold out, if you want.

Are you all right?

Oh! Uh, hello... I'm fine. Cold, but fine. It's still so weird to talk to people through a book, though.
