oo1 [ action // accidental voice ]

[ 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!)

...[That's going to bring up another question though.] Axel, what do you know about that?

Know about what? And Naminé isn't here right now so you're going to have to explain a little better, Xion.

I don't know what you want me to say!

[ it comes out harsher than she means it to, and she pauses, taking a breath. ]

You knew this before... I'm a replica, Axel. Of Sora's memories of Kairi. I wanted to give those memories back... and when I did, I disappeared. It was like I never existed at all, so I vanished from everyone's memories... or I should have.

I guess seeing me again is reminding people... Xaldin remembered, too. And Xigbar.

[ she shakes her head. the thing that is making her most unhappy, her greatest anxiety, voices itself before she can think to stop it ] I knew everyone would forget me. I was ready for that... but this is the worst.

...you're still Xion though.

[That makes him pause hard. For some reason this all just... makes sense. Even if he doesn't really remember it. But now he's starting to feel guilty. The doubts he had before about her were starting to go away, because there's no way she could fake this. He didn't fully remember everything but some part of him was remembering.]

—the replica project. It was funny how I never noticed that about you, even after the Riku replica.

[ okay, just ... give her a moment. slightly overwhelmed, she presses her face into her hands, just trying to collect her thoughts. she's quiet like that for a moment, then slowly lowers them and gives Roxas a weak smile. ]

Thanks.

[ but when she looks at Axel again, there's something strange in her eyes ] ... the other replica ... was of Riku? Vexen wouldn't tell me...

[ with yet another deep, calming breath ] What was your second question?

[He smiles back a bit but then he looks at Axel again] ...Replica?

[Oh boy. Ignoring the replica questions now kay. Scratches his head again, too.]

It's already been answered. There's a spare bedroom next to mine you're welcome to.

[ startled ]

Are you sure you really want me here?

Of course we do.

We do, got it memorized? And hey, maybe it'll bring back some more memories.

[Yep, he's grinning now.]

...

[ after staring at them both for a moment in shock, she ... finally starts to smile, a shaky thing that is both sad and infinitely grateful, and even manages a weak laugh ]

I've got it memorized, Axel. Thanks.

It'll be fun, even if Axel does snore really loud sometimes. [He's grinning, but don't you dare think you're off the hook yet, Red.]

Hey, you're the one who snores. Don't let him fool you, Xion.

[Playfully gives Roxas a shove.]

[ she laughs again, and the sound's a little stronger this time. ]

I bet you both snore.

Oh, thanks a lot! [But he's laughing anyway. You guys are ridic.]

Pff. I'm going back to sleep. You two better behave.

[Already heading to his room. He needs time to think, mostly. That was a lot to take in all at once.]

Or what? [ sticks her tongue out behind his back. but she doesn't mean anything by it, really. she just watches him go, obviously feeling better now by the little smile on her face ]

He really does sleep a lot...

[ grins at Roxas ] Anyway, show me around! And I'm going to need to get my own clothing, too.

Trust me, now that he actually has the time he takes a lot of naps. [He just grins in return and motions for Xion to follow] C'mere, I think I know exactly what room he's talking about.

I think he needs a hobby! There has to be something better to do than sleep all the time.

[ she headtilts in curiosity, but follows, looking around what'll be her new home ] It's kind of hard to believe I'll really be living here. A new home... what a strange thought.

He has one, it's called bugging people until they get really annoyed. [Just leading still, vaguely pointing out where his and Axel's rooms are.] It's a lot nicer than Never Was, at least. All of the chairs are normal height.

[ a giggle ] That's true. We need to find him a better hobby, then.

It's a lot nicer. Just having something other than constant darkness is a nice change. [ pauses at the chairs bit. considering just who it was that never had a throne... ] "Normal." It's kind of weird to think about. Everything that's probably "normal" here seems really strange to me. It's just so different. Definitely not in a bad way, though.

We'll think of something, just you wait.

...yeah, I know what you mean. When I first got here, a lot of stuff seemed really weird. You'll get used to it though, I promise.

Hehe. I wonder where we could look for ideas.

[ pauses again. If anyone would understand this fear, it'd be Roxas, so... ] I hope so. I'm worried that I won't know what a lot of things are or how they work. And I don't think I've ever been around this many people before! Especially not people who have hearts. It's exciting, but I'm a little nervous, too.

I think I know a few people I can ask.

...I was pretty nervous when I got here at first, too. All of the the people here, they're all from different worlds where things all have different names and meanings. It gets pretty confusing to know what some people are talking about sometimes, but you have me to help.
