[ It's a clear, cold day when a girl comes walking out of the forest. She is slow and careful about her way, as if she's not quite sure what she's doing - which she isn't. She also has the unmistakable air of a person who is hopelessly lost and not entirely willing to admit it, and thus is soldiering on nonetheless.

She feels very confused. Very much like she's forgotten something very important, but she just can't remember what. And she's very tired of that feeling, too. Memories... and loss, and fear, and confusion. It all feels familiar and she wishes desperately it wasn't. She wanted to be done.

She'd died. She'd faded away in Roxas's arms, that was supposed to be the end! She was going back... why was she here? Had something gone wrong?

What had happened to Sora?

Xion finds her way, somehow or other, into the village. She is not wearing the typical New Feather garb - instead, she is carrying that dress over one arm, garbed instead in her normal Organization uniform, which she found beside her when she awoke. Along with ... one other thing. There was a ring on her finger. It was very pretty, but it certainly didn't belong to her. After all, how could it? She'd never seen it before in her life. It ends up in the pocket of her coat, largely forgotten. If this is all a trick of some kind, it's a really elaborate one.

Of course, in the village she finds people. So many people! More than she's sure she's ever seen before, and initially she shrinks from them and runs to hide. She peers around the corners of buildings and skulks along pathways, keeping her hood up when she must walk out in the open. But she's obviously pretty frightened and distressed when she's unable to tuck herself out of sight, jumping at small noises and then trying to pass it all off as if everything were fine. ]


... I don't understand. Roxas... Sora... what happened to you?

[ Such are the things she muses worriedly out loud to herself. Eventually, she just goes to sit by the river. Her hood remains up, reluctant still as she is to reveal her face, but she's looking over the journal. It reminds her a little of the one she used to keep at home... but there's writings from other people in it! So strange...

She'll finally pick up her pen, her curiosity getting the better of her cautiousness in the end. ]


Hello? Who's out there? This little book... it feels so familiar, but I don't remember why. I know I've never seen it before.

This world feels familiar, too. How can a place you've never been to feel familiar? I don't have any memories of this world at all. I wish I knew what was going on.

[ She crosses something out. ] I probably shouldn't write this like a journal entry... there are other people out there, right? People who can read this, too. Just like I can read what you say. It's so strange. I guess it must be magic.

[ There's a pause, then. She doesn't dare write her name, does she? What if the Organization is here? She pauses a long moment. Well... well, there is one thing she can try. She doesn't have to give her name... no one should know her, anyway... and even if they did... they shouldn't remember. It should be safe.... shouldn't it?

She puts down her pen, and hunts around on the journal page some more. She knew she saw a little picture earlier-- there! Xion manages to switch on the video function. At first her cowl hides her face in shadow, making her features somewhat inscrutable.

Then she transfers the journal to one hand and slowly, somewhat reluctantly, pulls her hood down. This is Xion, alright - bright, uncertain blue eyes and raven dark hair. But her hair is short, and her face still somewhat round and very young. She will very different from the accomplished young woman who normally goes by her name.

After a hesitant pause, she speaks up again. ]


I'm... I'm looking for someone. He's ... he's a boy with spiky brown hair. [ She makes a somewhat silly gesture over her own head with her free hand, indicating at the shape of his hair. ] And he, um... he always wears red. And he's got blue eyes, like mine...

[ She pauses for a second, swallowing a wince. Like mine...

Xion doesn't dare say his name out loud, for some reason. ]


I don't know if he'll be here, but... it can't hurt to try. If I'm going to start anywhere... I guess it should be there. But I really should go home...

[ She looks off to the side, concerned and a little sad. She can't think of anything else to say, so she just awkwardly presses the journal shut. ]

[And really, that's what he was aiming for. To soothe her worries and let her know it'll be okay. As okay as things can be in Luceti, but... okay all the same.

Just not for him, or anyone else who knows her. God, Sanji, he has to let him know it's an experiment somehow, and not actually...]


Yeah. Everyone gets them when they show up.

[He leans to the side, enough to stretch his wing beyond his shoulder and flap it a few times. He still hates those things.]

I still don't really know why they're there. [He does glance at the journal, and he does let the side of his lips quirk up a bit.] To annoy the living hell out of us?

You feel something?

[And now his expression becomes very, very flat. He wonders if he has a way to test this... he has to have given Xion some gift, over the years, he could ask her to find.

...If she's even where she lives.

...Where does she live, these days?]

No, not at all.

...Is there anything wrong with me offering, though?

[That much, he could probably understand, at least, if there was.]

When you first show up... yeah, it's normal.

[Her stuff is still there. He clings to that knowledge, makes himself believe in it with his whole heart. She's still here. It'll just... take some time.]

They'll stop hurting after a while. Oh, but don't pull on them or anything. They'll just feel worse if you do that.

[Luke would rather not tell her what happens if you try cutting them off, but... maybe later. After she's a little more settled. Provided she doesn't try it before that.]

[ ... She doesn't remember.

Reading, listening, the realization crawls through him like it's turn his veins to ice. Xion, the one person here from his world, who had any idea what it was like to be him... the Xion who helped him, who showed him he didn't need to avoid places that Riku had already been to be himself... was gone.

Nobodies don't have hearts. Replicas don't have hearts. Both things he's heard, both things that apply to Xion... but reading those words on the page, there's no way. He knows it, he's known it for a long time, but it's crystal clear right now. There's no way those can be true. ]


Maybe... your heart remembers.

Xion?

[Does she... not remember?]

[And he stops.]

...what the heck is that supposed to mean?

[Well...Sora now will know what it feels like to be forgotten...or at the very least not to have the same relationship with a person. He had gotten back from the land of zombies a little worse for wear but beginning to get over it. It's been a handful of days but now, he see's a certain girl pop on the journal.

He's about to say hi when he freezes. Was she...asking and trying to find him? But, that was ridiculous. They already met why would she need to-

Then it hits him. It must have been the same with him, except with Xion. She forgot about Luceti and all the friends she made. Sora's catching on even more now considering how young she looks in comparison to the girl he met a few weeks ago.]

Xion...you're looking for me aren't you?

perplexme: (hooded)

[personal profile] perplexme 2012-11-03 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd like to know the same thing. What do you mean I'm not supposed to remember..?
perplexme: (sure about that?)

[action]

[personal profile] perplexme 2012-11-03 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...okay, let's start over. [He uses a hand to push back his hair. Man, he's in need of a haircut by now.] What;s the last thing you remember?
heartisabattleground: (Sympathy)

[personal profile] heartisabattleground 2012-11-03 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It's...a long story.

[He's not sure how to break it to her really. But, maybe he could just be subtle about it.]

But, I want to talk to you too. Do you think we could meet?

[After all, this might be a Xion from a different point in time, which Luceti is capable of. So, Sora wants to make sure that he can let her know that it was okay for her to have her own life.]
perplexme: (got it memorized?)

[action]

[personal profile] perplexme 2012-11-03 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...yeah. You're Xion. You're my best friend. [...it's slowly starting to dawn on him that this actually isn't just temporary amnesia. She thinks this is really how things are.]

I think I know more about you than you do.
heartisabattleground: (Sad smile)

Re: VIDEO

[personal profile] heartisabattleground 2012-11-03 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Where are you now? Can you show me?

[This was like their first meeting all over again, except in reverse. It was almost kind of funny.]
