[ Without any warning, a short, sharp shriek of fear is going to be transmitted across the journals. It's followed by dead silence, and a few whispered words too quiet to be picked up on.

A moment goes by in silence, wherein Xion notices both the room's other [Bad username or site: perplex_me title= @ livejournal.com] and her journal at the foot of her bed. Her voice is shaky when the journal picks it up next, and she's both addressing anyone who heard as well as Roxas. ]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to -- it's -- I'm okay.

What's...

[ She could have sworn she saw him, just as she awoke. Right out of the corner of her eye, like some monster from her nightmares. It would be impossible to mistake that blue hair, those impossibly cold eyes... but there was no one there. Not to mention her dreams of the past few days haven't exactly been nightmares, so much as... ]

--Sora! Sora! Where is he?! [ very upset Poppet is very upset and isn't sure if she's really yelling this at Roxas, or at the whole universe. ] SORA!

(ooc; her voice replies will come a little bit after this entry is actually made; her thread with Roxas will chronologically come first. tags might be a little slow because there is a cat sleeping on my arms.)

[He raises an eyebrow and looks at her again.]

Saix? But...he's been gone for a long time.

[voice]

[fourteen]

I know... that's why it startled me so badly. Maybe I was still dreaming. [ shakes her head. ] It's not that important.

... I think I should check on Sora, though. [ which, honestly, is the last thing she should be doing, because she'll just get upset again. but she feels obligated. ]

[voice]

[perplexme]

You must have been, he's definitely not here. [But he looks briefly startled.] No. You're not going to check on Sora right now, Axel's probably making sure he's totally fine.

[voice]

[fourteen]

[ seems a little taken aback at how insistent Roxas is being, pausing for a second to blink at him ... but then she relaxes a little and sighs, nodding. ]

Alright. As long as he's awake.

[voice]

[perplexme]

Hmm...last time I checked he was awake, but I haven't seen him for a while.

[voice]

[fourteen]

......

[ visibly worried, but she'll try to be good and not go rush off to check on him now. ]

[voice]

[perplexme]

If something was wrong, Axel would tell us. Okay?

[voice]

[fourteen]

... okay.

[voice]

[perplexme]

You're worrying too much when you should be resting.

[voice]

[fourteen]

Resting? I've already been sleeping for-- wait... Roxas, how long have I been out for?

[voice]

[perplexme]

...still, being out and resting are two different things.

[voice]

[fourteen]

[ quietly ] Just answer the question, Roxas.

[voice]

[perplexme]

About a week? Maybe a little less.

[voice]

[fourteen]

... that's not as bad as I was expecting. [ rubs the side of her face. ] But still, Roxas, really. I don't need to rest.

[voice]

[perplexme]

...well, do you want to go see if Sora's okay right now?

..... [action] i fail

[fourteen]

... [ pauses. ] ... I'm not sure. I just feel like I should be doing something.

[action] <3

[perplexme]

...should we go find Axel?

[action] <3;;;

[fourteen]

... could we?

[action] <3~

[perplexme]

Yeah, sure. He can't be too far away.

[action] <3!

[fourteen]

.... [ smiles a little, for once, and clambers off the bed, getting to her feet. ]

Let's go, then.

[action] <3!!

[perplexme]

[He's going to get up and follow.] He might just be out in the main room. I hope.

[action] <3!!!

[fourteen]

[ well ... it feels like the danger's passed, for now, and his smile makes her feel a little better. she leads them out into the main room, glancing around. ]

Yeah... [ a little more loudly, calling out ] Axel?

[action] ...<3? ;;

[flaring]

[Nope, not there. But his journal is on the table and the front door is cracked, so you know he's nearby. In fact, he's just down the hall in the building's kitchen, which is why he wasn't able to hear Xion's scream. COME FIND HIM.]

[action] <3! /pokeballs

[perplexme]

[Roxas picks up Axel's journal before nodding toward the door, leading Xion out of the apartment. It's like playing follow the leader!] He's probably burning something.

[action] <3!! .... /gets the pokemon theme stuck in her head

[fourteen]

[ blink blink. what, really? Xion sighs a little even as she laughs. That would just be so Axel, somehow, and it's comforting in the midst of her worry and fear. She follows Roxas out and down the hall ]

Hehe, probably. I wonder what he's making... or trying to make, anyway.

[ once they reach the kitchen, Xion will poke her head in, all curiosity ]

Axel...?
