[ It is a dizzy, sick, and weak Xion that finally manages to make her way back into town after having been dropped off at the outskirts by her generous mallynappers. She'd so rather much not be out in the open right now, but she needs help and she knows it. The farthest she can make it is the fountain in the center of the village. That's where she collapses, curling up in a ball on the ground, leaning back against it.

For the first time in months, she's in full Organization regalia. She'd started to leave off the gloves and the dark cloak, just opting for the plain black uniform underneath and a different coat. But now it's all back, and the hood is up, the cowl hiding her hair and eyes in its shadow. Considering she never has her face covered these days, it's pretty obvious she's hiding for a reason.

She's shivering. Maybe if she curls up in a tiny enough ball and keeps her hands pressed down over her head -- maybe if she hides well enough -- no one will see her before she can gather up the strength to get the hell out of here. ]

(ooc; oh christ. I love you all but BED. tags tomorrow.)

[ "Look at me, Roxas. Who do you see? If you see somebody else's face... a boy's face... then that means I'm almost ready."

She shakes her head, unable to bring herself to speak. Slowly, she pulls her hood down instead, as her answer.

But there's nothing strange. It's just Xion, with this oddly detached look on her face. ]

[He just gives her a curious look. Based on what Axel's told him, he knows why Xion's freaked out, but she looks fine.]

...you're still you.

[ ohgodheknows. that makes horror creep back into her expression, quickly followed by shame as she looks away. she still says nothing. ]

[Actionnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

[perplexme]

...Xion. I'm not moving. [Because he already had his freak-out session with Axel while she was gone.]

[ did he really. I want a link. anyway, she just drops her face into her hands and groans quietly. her words come out all muffled. ]

I'm sorry. The experiments the Malnosso did... you can probably guess what happened. I was just scared I'd come back looking like ... like that, and...

[Thread's not done yet]

...did you know what was happening to Sora, Xion?

[Actionnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

[fourteen]

... what do you mean? Happening when?

[Actionnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

[perplexme]

...it's nothing, never mind.

[Actionnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

That wasn't nothing, Roxas. Do you mean ... back home, if I knew what I was doing to him?

[Actionnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

[perplexme]

...yeah...just curious, that's all. [Because I failed and that was before Yami and I finished Axel and Roxas' thread.]

[Actionnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

... I knew. Not the whole time, though. Actually, it was Riku who told me. Until then, I had no idea. ... why? [ lol it's cool, we can handwave it/assume maybe he wants to hear it from her personally. still want a link to that btw. ]

[Actionnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

[perplexme]

I was just wondering, that's all. No reason. [Fair enough~ And it's in Axel's last journal-entry]

[Actionnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

[ kthx. hanyway, this face is my "I do not believe you" face, but she nods anyway, but slips back into silence. she's still a little unsettled, not to mention exhausted and a little sick. ]

[Actionnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

[perplexme]

[Roxas isn't quite sure what to do about that.] C'mon...come back to the apartment, Axel and I can fix everything from there.
