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!)

[ what is that look? suddenly, anxious, she nods. ]

...I merged with Sora. And we were back on the islands. His islands.

[ were you expecting surprise? because she actually looks relieved for a second before sighing and nodding ]

The way it was supposed to be...

So I've heard. But we're split here, so I don't know...

... [ she shakes her head ] Well ... we're not home. And Sora's awake and okay, so ... it must be alright, somehow.

...somehow. I've given up trying to make sense of all of it. [And here we are! He'll just stop outside the door] ...ready to go in?

I don't think I want to question it. It's ... it's kind of ... nice.

[ eep. xion's not looking forward to doing this twice, but she takes a deep, bracing breath and nods. ]

Yeah.

That's what I figure, too. [Roxas is just going to grin slightly and nod, turning the knob and leading Xion into the apartment.]

[This probably isn't too surprising, but Axel is asleep. And since he's your guys' own personal heater the room is probably warmer than normal, because the cold really sucks. But yeah, he's laying on his back on the couch with his arm draped over his eyes.]

[ he's .... sleeping. really? seriously?

unable to help herself, Xion starts to giggle, recalling a certain vacation. she visibly debates with herself over waking him up, and raises her eyebrows at Roxas by way of asking what they should do with the lunkhead. ]

[Roxas is just going to snort and shake his head, shutting the door quietly. He's pretty used to this by now, but it never stops being funny. He'll motion for Xion to come with him as he approaches Axel, hovering over him before leaning in and poking him right in the ribcage.]

[WHAT THE HECK MAN. flinches because ow and moves his arm for he can ~~pout~~ glare up at Roxas, not noticing someone else is with him yet]

What was that for? Sheesh.

[ hoveringggggg. but, well -- there's no sense in waiting. she approaches, a bit shyly, and waves. ]

Hi, Axel.

Look who's back. [Pulls his hand away and grins. Well this is fun.]

[Well, that voice woke him up. Sits up and just sort of... stares. He's confused, surprised, and something else he can't place all at once.]

...Xion.

[ oh dear. what to do with that look. this is going to be so hard to do over and over again, but she steels herself anyway and moves to stand beside Roxas instead of hovering behind him. ]

Long time no see.

She just got here. [Nope, derpxas has no idea what's going through either of their heads.]

[He scratches the back of his head. Roxas seems to be happy enough, but Axel never really got his questions answered the last time Xion was here, so he's still suspicious about a few things. So forgive him if he tenses up after the surprise wears off.]

Has it?

[ it's not like she can't see right through you, Axel. she sighs quietly and fiddles a bit with the sleeves of Roxas's coat. ]

... you tell me. I know I was here before, but I don't remember it, or how long it's been since then. If ... if there's anything you want to ask me, you can ask. I know you and Roxas don't remember everything, so ... it's okay.

...it's okay if she stays here with us, right, Axel? [Nooow he's starting to clue in that things are uncomfortable.]

[Man, what a thing to wake up to. He sighed and stood up from the couch, just glancing at Roxas a moment before looking down at Xion sternly. There was always one thing nagging at him when Xion showed up last time, and he never got the chance to get answers from her or Naminé.]

Under one condition. I have two questions and you're going to answer them, Xion. Can you manipulate memories like Naminé?

[ Well, to her credit, she doesn't back down. Her expression turns stern to match his, for just a moment ... but that first question genuinely startles her. she shakes her head. ]

No... why would you think so?

[ she can't help but glance at Roxas, then back at Axel, confused by the bizarre (to her, at least) question ]

...[Yeah don't look at him, he's just as confused too.]

[He glances at Roxas again, almost nervously. He's never talked to him about the events in Castle Oblivion, but...]

Before you were here last time we had no memory of you, then they slowly started coming back. And, well, it wouldn't be the first time I've seen memories tampered with. So you can see why I have to be suspicious.

... [ she ducks her head so he can't see the look on her face. ]

You didn't remember me because I faded. And I ... I was made of memories. Someone else's memories. Once those memories came apart and went back to where they belonged... it became like I never existed at all. There was no "me" to remember ...

Naminé would do a better job explaining it.

[yay! I mean, it's what Xion would want, so if it's cool with you guys then perfect :> action]

[Yesss, everybody's totally cool with it! Eventually Roxas will say so to her-- action]
