Hey, are you free today?

( /filter )

[ after a certain devastatingly awful conversation, Xion's had a lot to think about in the days following. She's been offered so much different advice by so many people that by now, frankly, she just feels confused and tired. What she could really use is a break -- just some time to think to herself and try and sort it out on her own.

So she turned up at the barracks fairly early this morning, bow in hand, intent on practicing quietly. On doctor's orders, she's got a splint on her arm, and it's making things a little bit harder -- but she plows ahead anyway, steadfastly nocking arrows, pulling back, and letting fly at a target she managed to scrounge up.

She's gotten pretty good.

Feel free to bother the girl with the arm splint and the bow. Just don't get in her way -- she'd prefer not to accidentally shoot anybody today. ]

(ooc; forward-dated a bit to tomorrow morning. like, a sane time of morning.)

Are you looking to practice?

Yeah, if you don't mind.

It's fine. [He's just been mostly hiding from the general population since being Jarroh. >.> Archery is all good though.] Meet me in the forest - the usual spot.

[So, Luke's decided to explore and maybe offhandedly find a separate place to live just in case he gets kicked out of the house or something. Hey, it could happen! But most of the houses are taken...

This looks like a big place! He opens the door and-THUP.

He stops short at that sound and looks further inside. ... Well, this can't be a house. Looks more like a training place. He's about to leave and find some place else when he notices that she has a splint on her arm.]

How are you doing that?

[ WELL HELLO THERE FELLOW REPLICA WHAT'S UP--

I mean.

Xion glances around, lowering her bow before she can nock her next arrow. her splint, btw, is like this, though of different material -- so it doesn't keep her elbow from bending, at least. though just based on his question, she doesn't get what he's referring to. ]

Doing what?

[Action]

[fabrecation]

[ALL MY REPLICAS IN THE HOUSE-- uh.

Luke is still impressed. He's never seen Natalia shoot an arrow with a splint before, and the only other people he's seen use it were enemies they may have run into. Now that her attention is on him, he steps the rest of the way inside and clarifies as he walks closer.]

Shooting your bow with that thing on your arm! Doesn't that make it harder?

[She has gotten good. Sanji's proud.

He doesn't let on to his presence yet - he's on his way out of town, back into the forest or really just godmodded around at the mun's beck and call and didn't expect to see a familiar face up and about so early in the morning.

Once she's emptied a sling full of arrows, he speaks up] Not bad, Xion-chan~! You keep getting better everyday.

She hadn't even heard or sensed him come in, she was so focused on her task, so when he speaks up she very nearly jumps out of her skin with an alarmed squeak. When she whirls around to see it's just Sanji, she places a hand over her chest and breathes, smiling a little crookedly. ]

Thanks, Sanji. When did you get here?

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[W-whoops.

His own smile is repentant] My bad. I didn't mean to startle you.

And five minutes ago. [walks closer] Gotta get back to the crew soon.

[Let's just say it's a coincidence that Kairi was heading to the barracks to train with one of the swords out there. She's been pretty diligent about practicing since Sora taught her, mostly hoping that if she was good enough her Keyblade would turn up one day. However, she wasn't expecting to find a Xion upon entering the barracks, so she waits until her not-twin sends the next arrow flying before speaking.]

I didn't know you could use a bow.

[ Kairi manages to startle Xion a little less than the others. She just shifts slightly in surprise and looks over her shoulder, blinking for a moment before smiling slightly. ]

I've been learning. Ever since I ... um, got back.

[Action]

[meteorical]

Yeah? [Just stepping further into the area, glancing around at everything. Seems like Xion's been here a while.] You're pretty good at it.

[The familiar thwip of an arrow hitting its target draws Kikyou out. This girl hasn't been doing this for very long, she can tell. Still, she's not bad, especially with that splint weighing her arm down. Kikyou will just stand there silent, arms crossed, watching, not wanting to bother her while she's practicing.]

[action]

[ Kikyou's so quiet that Xion takes longer to notice her than the others. Even after Xion finishes what's left of her arrows and stands there in silence for a moment, it's not until she goes to retrieve them from her target and return to her starting point that she sees Kikyou standing there.

Xion headtilts curiously, returning her arrows to her quiver before speaking. ] Hello.

[Ok, there's a teenage girl trying to use a bow with an arm splint. That's just... special, special enough to attract his attention anyway.]

Hey, hun? Ya really shouldn't be usin' a bow while yer like that.

[Action]

[ DKJGHSLDKJA

that voice...! Xion whirls around, startled and blinking, actually dropping the arrow she'd been about to nock. She'd know that voice anywhere... ]

Raven? Is that really you?

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Well, better she drop the arrow than fire it at him out of shock. Either way, the fact she was startled ended up startling Raven in return. Another person who recognized him, he's gonna really need a list.]

Wait, wait! Before ya start! I don't have any memories of bein' here! I got here over a week ago!

Now that's outta the way. Seriously kid, ya shouldn't usin' a bow with yer arm in a splint, yer gonna break a tendon or somethin'.

[Naoki's taking a walk around today--on the lookout for his two friends for whenever the Malnosso decide to send them back (even if just a few days isn't likely, he still...). He slows by the barracks as he hears the sound of arrows, then pokes his head inside.

He blinks a little at who it is, gazes at the splint on her arm before wandering in and reclining back against the wall. He'll just watch, for a little bit.]

[ Xion's not very good at noticing her surroundings today. She doesn't seem to notice him come in -- and doesn't pick up on his presence until she's done with her quiver of arrows. It's only then that she pauses, and looks around. She still blinks in surprise when she spots Naoki, though. ]

Naoki? How long have you been there?

[Action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

Just a couple of minutes. Sorry, I shoulda said something, but I didn't wanna throw off your concentration. [He offers a brief, apologetic smile.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Sup Xion. Guess who's watching you. Quietly, because he has no other choice really. ]

[fourteen]

[ it might take her a few moments to notice you, Repliku. until she empties her quiver, that is. once she does, she takes a breath, lowering her bow and turning to go take a look at her journal--

and jumping slightly when she spots the Heartless. she registers an instant later that it's Replica!Heartless, though, and she smiles, going over to kneel in front of him. ]

Hey.

[blessingone]

[ Is there a door on the side of the barracks where you set up the targets, Xion? Because, if there is, it's opening. Hope you make a good shot, even if the door's probably not in your line of fire. ...Probably. ]

[fourteen]

[ Xion lets the arrow she had nocked fly with a shout of surprise.

Thankfully, it buries itself in the target, and not Fenimore, but on the far outside and nowhere near the center. Xion places a hand over her heart, alarmed and blinking. she can't tell who it is just yet, but she calls out anyway ]

Hey, be careful!
