[ 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.)

Yeah, I know. But it wasn't your fault, Sora. You didn't know what would happen. I did, but I still took it...

[ sigh. pauses as she listens to his story, anyway. it's more detail than Riku's given her... and it's strange to think about. ] He told me about that part... about being behind you guys. It's strange... the Riku I met back when I was in the Organization was so serious and quiet. He always seemed ... kind of sad. He never said much, but ... he was strong. Meeting Riku here was so different. [ pauses again ] I wish a lot that things would just stay quiet, for once... that nothing bad would happen, even if it was just for a little while.

I don't... think we're gonna get that. [Much as he hates to think about it, Sora's fairly resigned to the idea that his life is pretty much at the whim of whatever fate rules their universe, now.] It's not gonna be quiet for us again.

But we can stop the bad from happening, definitely. [That, he was sure of.]

[ she sighs. ] I know. I just hope sometimes, I guess.

... [ doubtful ] How do you know?

Because that's what we do! All of us, even guys with dumb flame hair that try and pretend they don't. We're all gonna make this place better, for a long time. We'll make a promise on that. Okay?

[He's trying to cheer her up, but it isn't just bravado - he honestly feels that way.]

D-Dumb...? [ the description startles a laugh out of her, which is probably a good thing. ]

Okay, Sora. I'd like that too.

Come on, his hair is dumb! [That's it, Xion, keep laughing. It'll be okay, he promises - he'll make everything okay.]

You and me and Roxas. That's what we're always gonna do.
