[ 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, I did. I still don't really understand what's going on, but right now I just want to get out of the cold.

Not dressed for the weather, poppet?

Sorry. It's just ... been a really long time since I saw you.

No! I don't know where my coat went, I woke up in this white dress and I don't even know how.

... shouldn't you know?

[ she says it slowly, already suspecting something is off here, but not quite sure what. ]

You and most of the people already here.

[Bitter? Him? Oh, just maybe.]

Same way you got those pretty little wings.

... and what way is that?

......

[ she has no idea how to handle his bitterness, so she's just gonna ... stay quiet now. ]

[After a moment or three he'll speak up again.]

It's nothing you need concern yourself with.

The guys who brought us here gave 'em to us.

[He we go~]

Xion, that's just it. I'm from the past.

Don't worry...Sora never remembers when he comes and goes either.

... but how?

"The guys" ...? Do you know who did this?!

Same way Sora and Kairi are a year ahead of me and Roxas is probably ahead of you.

[and he shrugs again]

It might not make sense, but it's true.

... does that sort of thing happen a lot?

Not a lot, but it does happen. Axel was gone once though, but when he came back he remembered things.

Okay...

Um, Vexen? So far I've spoken to you, Xaldin, Xigbar, and Roxas... he told me Axel's here, too. Does that mean everyone else is here, too?

... this is so strange.

[ she looks away from him, struggling to just ... process this. ]

If you're from the past, how do you even know who I am?

Because you were here before, Xion. You might not remember it, but you were.

[...they're still out in the cold.]

C'mon, let's get inside. We can talk more once you get some better clothes on.

[ a sigh ] Okay. This is going to take some getting used to.

[ she goes quiet, then, resuming her trek towards what might hopefully be some form of civilization. there's a question burning in her mind, though, and after a moment she just can't help but ask. ]

Roxas? Do you ... do you remember anything else about me? Aside from, you know, the last time I was here.

[Ugh, he was hoping this wouldn't come up for a bit. Okay...ummm....] You mean from Never Was? We...well, we were friends.

[ holy hell I need to just. PROCESS. she'll just nod, letting him lead the way while she attempts mental gymnastics trying to make all of this work in her head. ]

[Right, right. He'll lead her right into the shop, then. Yay for being out of the cold.]
