... you know, it looks like everything is back to normal, but... something still feels weird, to me. I can't quite put my finger on it, though. Is anyone else noticing something strange going on...?

Then again, considering Luceti, there's always something strange going on.

[This one is out and about in town, a bow slung over his shoulder and his journal in his hand as he talks into it. Despite his much shorter, choppier hair and two new inches of height, he's very recognizably Xion -- the eyes and face give him away.

But unlike his female counterpart, he's got on black pants and a black t-shirt; no color to be found here. He'll be wandering here and there in town, inspecting the lack-of-damage and the lack-of-monster-rain.]

... I think it's more than that. I'm hearing my gender changed. I'm not sure if that's true, or if somehow our memories are different...

Either way, I don't like it.

[...] And you are not aware of it?

No! If I didn't know any better I'd think everyone had gone crazy, because I've always been a boy! .... I think. [sounds none too happy.]

[Aww. She can't help but want to comfort the poor...boy.]

Don't worry. You're still you, right? It doesn't matter what gender you are.

[.... baw he needed to hear that really badly ;~; he looks surprised for a moment, then breaks out in this very relieved smile she can probably see through the camera.]

Yeah. That's what's important... at least, I hope so. [quirks his smile.] ... thanks.

You're very welcome. I'm sure your friends will stand by you through this.

[Voice]

[identity profile] stillatrap.livejournal.com 2010-08-16 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
[hi, Xion likes you immediately. nodnods.]

I'd stand by them, too. After everything that's been going on... this can't be the hardest part, right? We can get through this.

... what's your name, by the way?

[Voice]

[identity profile] orchidsandfire.livejournal.com 2010-08-16 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
[The feeling's mutual. He's adorable, really.]

My name is Diana. And you are?

[Voice]

[identity profile] stillatrap.livejournal.com 2010-08-16 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[boy or girl, it's basically Xion's job to be ridiculously cute.]

Xion. It's really nice to meet you, Diana. You haven't had anything strange happen to you, huh?

[Voice]

[identity profile] orchidsandfire.livejournal.com 2010-08-16 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
No. ...At least, I don't think so. But I can't say the same for my friends.

[Voice]

[identity profile] stillatrap.livejournal.com 2010-08-16 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
... hopefully nothing too bad?

[Voice]

[identity profile] orchidsandfire.livejournal.com 2010-08-16 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's just say that he thinks my...relationship with him is different from what it actually is.

[...

processing...|

oh.]


Oh! You mean... [his face pulls up into an odd expression, where he's obviously trying not to smile but feels sympathy at the same time.]

Whatever this is, it's doing some really weird things to people, huh.

[Voice]

[identity profile] orchidsandfire.livejournal.com 2010-08-16 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
You got that right. I just hope it won't affect our friendship when things return to normal.

[Voice]

[identity profile] stillatrap.livejournal.com 2010-08-16 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[that makes him pause, suddenly. because it reminds him of Riku. and holy shit what if this means Riku might be a boy?! brb entertaining some very crestfallen thoughts.]

... yeah, I know what you mean.

[Voice]

[identity profile] orchidsandfire.livejournal.com 2010-08-16 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[;;]

But if this is an experiment, then that means it's not permanent, right? So we shouldn't let this bother us too much.

I know, I know, it's just.... [pauses, searching for the right word.] ... awkward.

[Voice]

[identity profile] orchidsandfire.livejournal.com 2010-08-17 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Wryly-] Conflicting memories tend to make things awkward, yes.

[Voice]

[identity profile] stillatrap.livejournal.com 2010-08-17 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
I mean... I've dealt with conflicting memories before, but it was never like this. This is just... [screws up his face, searching for a word, then gives up and just goes "bleh," sticking his tongue out a little. failface that he is.]

[Voice]

[identity profile] orchidsandfire.livejournal.com 2010-08-17 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ailfjs;gk so cute]

You've experienced conflicting memories before? How it that...? [Her voice trails off. She decides not to finish her question. Something tells her it's extremely personal.]

[Voice]

[identity profile] stillatrap.livejournal.com 2010-08-17 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
... [the way she trails off makes him smile a little. most people don't think to spare his feelings and go ahead and ask anyway. this is a nice change.]

It's a long, complicated story. It's all because of where I come from-- my world is pretty strange. Maybe I can tell you about it some other time. [maybe when I know you a little better.]

[Voice]

[identity profile] orchidsandfire.livejournal.com 2010-08-17 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like that, and only if you want to. [They can compare how strange their worlds are.]

[Voice]

[identity profile] stillatrap.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
... I don't think I'd mind. [smiling, still.] But I think I'd rather get through this whole mess, first, and figure out what's right and what's not. Hopefully this'll be over sooner rather than later.

Good luck, Xion. May the fates smile kindly on you -- omething tells me you deserve it.
