[ 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!)

... an amusement park?

You know, rides, games, that sort of thing.

... I don't think I've ever heard of anything like that before.

...

[Whaaaat.]

You're not joking, are you?

No. Why would I?

Guess you're just the first person I've talked to who doesn't know.

But basically...

[How to explain...]

I guess it was like a vacation, in a way. At the end of the week there was even a party. It was...okay, I guess.

A vacation...?

[ aw, that brings fond memories. she actually smiles a little, thinking about it ]

I've had one of those before. Though we only got one day. That ... kind of sounds like fun.

[Aaand we're smiling again. Good.]

Heh, definitely. Especially the roller coasters...

... roller coasters?

[...Oh boy.]

It's a ride. You get into these carts, basically, and you go along these tracks really fast. Usually the tracks loop and go in all sorts of directions.

[ ..... oooooooooooooooooooooh. ]

That does sound like fun.

Definitely. Of course, some people chicken out. The speed's not for everyone, but I definitely don't mind.

[he smirks~ Isn't 'ku a lot less srs, poppet?]

You might've liked the party, I guess. People wore costumes and danced... but that's just not my thing, personally.

[ she laughs, though very quietly. he's ... well, so much more cheerful!

oh gosh what costume dance AND I MISSED IT. ] Wow ... a dance? I mean, I guess I can't know for sure if I would have liked it or not. I've never done any dancing. But I like new experiences! I think I would have enjoyed it just for that.

Trust me, you'll have plenty of new experiences here. Some might just be a little stranger than the rest.

[By now they should be pretty close to building 4. Still, Riku's not minding this chitchat, really.]

I don't know if I like the sound of that!

[ but hey, she's got a smile on. A+, riku. and hey look, apartment building. xion blinks up at it. ]

Whoa.

Hey, you can't expect everything to be easy, right?

[griiins, and he'll lead her up to it.]

Well, here's the place.

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?

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

[ shakes her head. ]

It's okay. You've helped me enough, and I'm only staying here temporarily. Thank you, though.

[He nods, smirking just a bit.]

Heh, don't mention it. But if you need anything, I'll be over at building two, like I said before.
