oo1 [ action // accidental voice ]

[fourteen]

[ 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!)

Comments

[I wish I was cool enough to have cookies right now-- action]

[perplexme]

[It makes things a lot easier, that's for sure. Roxas is going to tilt his head in the direction he came from and start walking, indicating Xion should follow]

No, not always. It's starting to get closer to winter. It started getting really cold like this this time last year, too. For now we're going back to the apartment I share with Axel until we figure something else out. That's okay, right? I'm sure he'll want to see you.

[no no, the problem is you're TOO cool - you're scaring them away!-- action]

[fourteen]

[ and follow she does, though she's still not properly looking at him. she just listens in silence, nodding a bit ... until he tells her where they're going. she stops right in her tracks, looking at him with mixed worry and alarm. it's only for a moment, though -- she forces herself to keep walking so he doesn't stop. ]

... is he there right now?

[B-but I just want to be friends with them!-- action]

[perplexme]

[Roxas is still walking, so he probably doesn't even notice the look, or the fact she stopped. As far as he's concerned, Axel and Xion are friends, too.]

Yeah. He's being a big baby and hiding from the cold. Why?

[oh sure, "friends"-- action]

[fourteen]

... I can't tell you both at the same time. I just can't.

Roxas, before we get there, there's something I have to tell you.

[no really, we'd be good "friends"..>>;-- action]

[perplexme]

[That'll make him stop walking then and face her.] What is it?

[this just changed to "my muse is crying inside" flavor-- action]

[fourteen]

... Roxas, I'm not a Nobody. I'm...

[ she hugs her journal so, so tight to her chest, staring down at the ground, her voice getting progressively quieter as she speaks. ]

I'm a replica ... of Sora's memories of Kairi. My ... my original purpose was just to duplicate your powers.

[Xion is such a sad character and I just want to hug her-- action]

[perplexme]

[He stays very quiet as soon as she says that, just staring at her and trying to wrap his mind around it.] You...what?

[if anyone ever needed a hug in all of kh, it's her, for reals-- action]

[fourteen]

[ she only nods quickly, squeezing her eyes shut and keeping her head bowed. ]

I really didn't want you to know. I'm sorry.

[ikr? poor little girl-that-doesn't-actually-exist-- action]

[perplexme]

...I don't understand though. Why would that...[He'll just trail off. He gets the idea that Xion doesn't want to talk about it, but he's very confused.]

[she'll be a real girl someday-- maybe-- never-- action]

[fourteen]

[ oh, it's not that. she's just terrified he'll hate her. ]

... why would that what?

[well that really just sucks-- action]

[perplexme]

[Right now he's more confused than anything else.]

...that doesn't make any sense.

[confused and sadface action]

[fourteen]

[ well that's not the answer she was expecting. ]

... why not?

[forever doomed to be tragic action]

[perplexme]

Duplicating my powers and being made from memories of Kairi? Why?

[darkneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess action]

[fourteen]

... I don't know why. I just know it's true. You'd have to ask someone like Xemnas or Xigbar for that.

[emptinesssssssssss action]

[perplexme]

...Xemnas is gone, at least. It's...weird.

[where is my heeeeeeeeeeeeart action]

[fourteen]

... weird?

[You don't need oneeee action]

[perplexme]

It sounds strange.

[why not I totally want oneeeeeeeee action]

[fourteen]

... what do you mean?

[because I said sooooooo action]

[perplexme]

How do you know that's true?

[can I have a pony insteaaaaaaaaaad action]

[fourteen]

... I have memories that aren't mine, Roxas. Memories of her that shouldn't belong to me.

And Riku... he told me. Namine, too. Even Axel -- he knows what I am, too. Or, well ... he used to know, I guess.

[assss youuuu wiiiiish action]

[perplexme]

...but nobody told me.

[oh my sweet Westley! action]

[fourteen]

... I couldn't. I'm sorry, Roxas. And Axel ... I asked him to take care of you.

[I need to watch that movie again sometime soon action]

[perplexme]

...which is why he never told me anything.

[I just watched it recently and it warms my black little heart action]

[fourteen]

[ she shakes her head slowly. ]

You'd have to ask him that yourself.

[I actually haven't seen it for years and that makes me sad action]

[perplexme]

...did you think I would be mad?
