[ Sometime during the night, the Malnosso robots dumped Xion off where they'd picked her up -- square in the middle of town. There and gone, quick as you please, leaving an unconscious girl behind.

However, she quickly comes to, stirring blearily and slowly sitting up. ]

Where....?

[ And then her eyes go wide. Something looks ... different. At this time of night -- or morning, really -- the sun is only just barely starting to come up, turning the sky a deep, dark blue. It's just light enough to see by, but can't properly be called morning yet.

And in this mock twilight, Xion sees that Luceti suddenly seems horribly familiar yet bizarre at the same time. She sits stunned for a moment, unable to process what she's seeing, then looks over her shoulder at the fountain.

What she sees makes her yelp. ]

Whoa! But that's... what is... no way! I'm still in Luceti, right? But how...

[ This is too strange. Xion locates her journal, conveniently nearby as always, and immediately starts talking into it, too curious and excited to really stop and care about the fact that she just got back. ]

Axel! Roxas! Are you guys awake? Have you seen the town yet? It looks -- it looks so much like Halloween Town! I thought I was actually there when I woke up...

[ Xion looks away from the journal to stare in wonder around the spooky town. Finally, she stands, a smile spreading across her face. ]

I wonder what all this is about...

[ Another pause. Then Xion gives another abrupt shout of surprise and drops her journal, unable to stop herself from exclaiming aloud ]

What am I wearing?! Are these... are these bunny ears...?

(ooc; this, ftr. also, she happens to be covered in bruises, which is much more apparent with all that skin bared. she'll be noticing it belatedly in threads instead of here in the post proper. don't worry; at least she didn't feel any pain, right? :|b

ps this is going up more or less in real time, at 6:30 in the morning or so.

also will be getting to tags here and on her last post when I actually get home from work. /RUNS)

[Arched eyebrow. Which quietly implies Neither did your broken arm, but that didn't mean you could use it]

Has someone got you already?

[ ......... orz orz. she gets it, but SHE DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE TO BOTHER CHOPPER OKAY ): JEEZ SANJI ]

No... I haven't seen or spoken to anyone else yet. I can head to the clinic...

[ she won't. ]

How about I escort you there? Since it's been a while since I've seen you and all.

[He knows. Talk your way out of that]

[ ............. damn you, sanji. damn youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

totally caught, Xion gives a HUGE sigh and smiles, acknowledging her defeat. ]

Sure.

[Victory. 8] And he grins, pleased with himself and the answer]

Where abouts are you? Forest? Town? [Well, regardless, he's already heading out the door]

I'm in the middle of town, by the fountain. Though it looks a little different...

[ even though he's roped her into getting treatment, Xion is still excited to see him. it's been a while! ]

Yeah, I noticed. [a quiet snort.... then a snicker]

And I see Xion-chan got hit with the shitty costume pandemic.

[ she jumps, turning bright red, looking around kind of indignant but mostly embarrassed ]

Sanjiiiiiiii!

[ definitely has the same whining tone in which one might say "daaaaaaad, dooooon't!"

But it looks so cute on you~! [Though he's on the fence about you baring that mid-drift. Child, the navel 8|]

It does not! It's -- it's too weird! [ she tugs at her skirt with a hand, awkward as hell. she does eventually spot him, and when she does she shuts her journal and sticks her tongue out at him from afar. ]

Weirder than Luceti's decor? [He jabs a thumb at a few of the buildings as he approaches, all dressed up in spider webs and plastic bats and globs of so very fake blood]

... I think they're probably equally weird. [ but she can't fight a little smile. ]

Fair enough. [But enough of that - down to business.

As expected, Sanji doesn't like what he sees, but he bites back the larger part of his temper]

We can either heal you here or the clinic.

[ her smile turns crooked ] Here is fine.

[There's a nod before the approach, and briefly, Sanji's glad for that outfit she's wearing - easier to spot the damage.

He starts with her arms, using a gentle grip and what he's learned from Nala, slowly progressing to cover all areas in need of healing.]

Nala-chan's gotta be the most useful spirit here. [He says it with a grin. For once, he's not trying to antagonize her]

[ Xion is a little startled when he approaches. She thought she'd be doing the healing. To have Sanji do it for her ... there's something strangely comforting not only about the magic but about the gentle way he handles her. Real warmth creeps into her smile as the bruises start to fade. ]

She is. I've trained with her the most and I think I finally learned everything she has to teach. I'm grateful she's here to help us.

[A grin that looks damn proud of that statement] Hooo. So should I be running to you if I break anything?

Edited 2010-10-26 02:58 (UTC)

Huh? I -- Maybe! [ laughs ] Between Nala and the magic I already know... I'm really not sure. I haven't tried! I mean, I haven't had to, which is a good thing. I really hope I can do things like that now, though.

I'm sure you can. And Chopper could always use some backup here. [If there's one thing Luceti never wants a shortage of, it's doctors and healers.]

Chopper? I don't -- do you really think I could help him? He's a really good doctor! I wouldn't want to hold him back... or any of the real doctors. Magic isn't anything like real medicine. [ she's looked it up. and it all went waaaaaaay over her head. ]

No, it's not... but that doesn't mean it's not useful, either. [He's about as trusting of most magic as he is of the Malnosso. But he figures, as he finishes patching up the last of her injuries, that he can't complain over the results. It's kept more than one of his nakama alive.

Him too, heh]

I'm no doctor either, and I still pitch in when I need to. [That done, he straightens up and surveys his handiwork.]

That should do it.

... [ she nods, sighing quietly through her nose. ] Yeah, I know. I just wish I could do more.

[ she smiles again when he steps back, rubbing a hand up and down her arm. she inclines her head a little which makes the hat slide to the side, slightly, and one ear flops over to obscure one of her eyes. she pauses, and then laughs quietly. ]

Thanks, Sanji.

Awaaaaaaah~! Xion-chan is so cuuuuute~!!

[ SLDKJGAHSD;LNADKSL;'ASDASLDASLD ARE THOSE HEARTS??? AGAIN??? HOW DOES HE DO THAT ANYWAY??? ]

I--! You ... you really think so? [ rub the back of her neck, a little pink in the face ] I think it just looks silly...

[ she turns so her back is to him, looking over her shoulder at her little white fluffy bunny tail. ] Look, I've even got this tail!
