oo46 [ voice & action ] (forward-dated one day)

[fourteen]

[ It's not until Xion glances at a clock that she realizes something is amiss. She could have sworn, last time she checked, that was 1 AM. And now it's 10 PM? That's not possible. Did she miss something? She couldn't have fallen asleep and slept that long. The journal catches her exclamation of surprise, and her quiet question: ]

Wait, what day is it...?

[ She wanders out of her room, confused, going to knock first on Jixsan's door before she tries Roxas's.

And he's not in there.

In fact, the room is empty.

Instantly, her heart sinks -- he's gone? home? -- but then the bizarre time difference occurs to her. Is something going on? Is there an experiment? As hopeless as she suddenly feels, she has to find out. Pulling on a jacket against the nip of the air outside, she grabs her journal and darts out of the house. ]

Has anyone seen Jixsan? His room is empty! Please, please don't have gone home, I don't know if I could take you leaving, too...

[ She ends up in the village center, near the fountain, and late in the evening as it is, it's quiet here. For a moment or two she paces silently, clearly worried, unsure of where to go from here. Anyone out and about at this late hour want to help a distressed teen? ]

(ooc; forward-dated to event start, sorry! as a refresher, just in case, Jixsan = Sanji, concasse.)

Who the heck is Jixsan, Xion?

[Just... what? There is quite a bit of disbelief in his voice here.]

voice

[fourteen]

... who is--? How can you not know? He's been living in the house for--

[ A beat. ]

Something funny is going on.

voice

[stilldontgotit]

You can say that again.

[Hmm...]

Because I've been living in this house for years, and I'm pretty sure I'd remember somebody named 'Jixsan'.

voice - an hour later

[concasse]

[No, not home. Jixsan's safe and sound in Luceti borders, currently taking a nap in a room that isn't his. It'll be an hour before he blearily awakens, disoriented but initially unaware of what's happened.

At least, until he rolls on his side and looks at his journal.]

... Xion, but I'm in my room.

voice

[fourteen]

Jixsan! [ She sounds so powerfully relieved. ] I-- but I checked your room! I was in there, it's bare! Look out the window, okay?

voice

[concasse]

[Bare? Well, first thing he does is sweep the room with his gaze - there's stuff here, definitely, but the lights are out and suspicion is growing by the second. After a quick shuffle across the floor - he doesn't bother with the window yet - the Nobody turns on the lights and--

... Er.]

Oi. Where the hell is this? [Now he strides over for the window, throwing it open and sticking his head out. Ordinarily it would be the view he's grown familiar with over these past two years, which is why it takes less than a second to confirm what the contents of the room already told him.

Wrong house. Audible sigh.] Can't they start this shit when I'm not sleeping?

[blessingone]

[...Okay, now that it seems that she's found Jixsan and thus putting this definitively chronologically after Sanji's comment, she can ask the less than sensitive question:]

What kind of name is Jixsan?

[Hey, she's feeling a little crabby since she remembers falling asleep before midnight, but it's apparantly 10 PM now and she feels like she slept for only a couple of hours, not most of a day.]

I couldn't help myself - let me know if this is okay <<

[concasse]

An awesome name, Miss~! [Jixsan sees this and oh, there's that flighty tone of his - though once Xion hears it, she'll probably realize what that means.

Crabby Fenimore? Meet crabby Jixsan.]

Forgive me if it doesn't suit your tastes.

I was very happy to see it!

[blessingone]

[Despite his flighty tone, she can see where this could be insulting.]

If you say so. It's just a pretty awkward place to put an x. [Muttered to herself:] -xsa, -xsa...

[Even if she doesn't apologize for the insult.]

[fourteen]

[ She does know what Jixsan's tone means. And she sighs. Oh Fenimore. She wishes you knew better than that by now. ]

What's wrong with it? I mean, I'm pretty sure I've mentioned him to you at least once before!

[blessingone]

I think I'd remember a name like that....

[ She shakes her head. ] It just sounds [ made up okay that might be going too far. she's learned over her time here that not everyone has normal Earth names ] -- kind of awkward to pronounce.

[Action]

[perplexme]

[How about someone from the dark? Okay, that was a terrible line to use, but anyway Roxas is also out this late at night. He and Toxana had been doing some research in the library. He had stepped out for a bit of air when he spotted Xion there.]

...hey. Why are you out this late?

[Action]

[fourteen]

Roxas!

[ She trots over to him, all concern. ]

Have you seen Jixsan?

[Action]

[brokethefourthwall]

[Well hello there. Someone looks sad. Pinkie pops her head out from behind the fountain. She blinks a couple times at the pacing girl, before pouting.]

Well somepony doesn't look very happy tonight...

[Action]

[fourteen]

Huh?

[ It takes Xion a second to realize that the person -- rather, pony -- talking to her is not going to be at eye level, and she looks down. Then she smiles a sad, crooked smile. ]

Oh, I'm okay. I'm just ... looking for a friend. He's gone missing.

[voice]

[personafalsify]

... It's April first. Xion, are you... okay? [ He is pretty sure he'd hear about it somehow if you had gotten a new housemate and uh. This is not a name he knows. ]

[voice]

[fourteen]

Kohan... I'm fine, but -- you haven't seen Jixsan around, have you?

[ Going on the knowledge that, you know. Of course he would know who Jixsan is! Dude being an Organization member and all. :> And also her best friend! Nothing strange here at all, nope. ]

[heartlessed]

[Luke hadn't spent any time to check his journal. He was sure he'd just been sitting on the roof and counting stars to pass the time while keeping his senses open for any intruders who might come upon the house.

Not sitting on some couch he doesn't know of when a book and a cup of tea in front of him.

He has to admit, he's a little perplexed. But it doesn't take him long to get up, get out, get his bearings and find Kairi in mid training.

It's once they head back that Luke manages to catch familiar black hair in the village plaza. He hurries his pace, noting that distressed look on her face.]

Xion? Is something wrong?

[fourteen]

[ She turns on hearing his voice, a little relieved despite her worry. Maybe he can help her look. ]

Lu--

[ ... then she gets a proper look at his eyes, and stops dead. ]

... Luke? What happened to you?

voice

[ex_restoring6]

Xion? [Why's she asking the date--] It's the first...are you okay?

[...] 'Jixsan'?

voice LMAO you had it right the second time actually... NBD THOUGH AHAHA

[fourteen]

Naoki! It's good to hear your voice. Have you-- wait, you mean you don't know him either? [ With a mild tone of exasperation, though mostly confusion. ]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Jixsan... is that someone I've met?

[The name isn't ringing any bells for him, but it's clear from her tone that it's someone important.]

[Voice]

[fourteen]

... yes? At least, I thought you two knew each other... but I think something strange is going on right now, anyway.

[Voice]

[lezareno_prez]

Today would be the first of April. Why do you ask?

[He's thinking that she's worried that she's missed some sort of special day.]

[Voice]

[fourteen]

Something just seems off ... like I skipped a whole day, somehow. But how is that possible?
