... 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.]

You got that right. I just hope it won't affect our friendship when things return to normal.

[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.

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.

[Wryly-] Conflicting memories tend to make things awkward, yes.

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.]

[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.]

... [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]

[orchidsandfire.livejournal.com]

I'd like that, and only if you want to. [They can compare how strange their worlds are.]

[Voice]

[stillatrap.livejournal.com]

... 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.
