[ Xion had walked into the clothing store in the village square as her normal self. Just a sixteen year old Poppet picking up some warmer clothes for winter, nothing new.

She darts back outside just a minute later, looking deeply bewildered and rather ... different. For one, she's suddenly three inches taller than she was a moment ago, and somehow her hair has grown to hang a good four inches past her shoulders. Not to mention she seems to have filled out that teenage body of hers. This is definitely a woman, one who seems to be in roughly her mid twenties.

Considering she was just in the clothing store, she's dressed rather impractically for the weather in loose, flowing black pants and a black camisole. It's an outfit more appropriate for working out in... and given the bow she has in her hands and the quiver of arrows on her back, it looks like that's what she was just doing.

An arrow is now nocked on that bow as she stares around in growing alarm, before her eyes narrow in thought and frustration. Down goes the bow, and the arrow goes back in its quiver.

Give her a moment or two, and she'll have darted back into the clothing store to grab a coat before heading to the fountain, bow once again over her chest, reading her journal as she goes.

When she speaks, her voice has changed a little, too -- it's only slightly lower, but somehow she just sounds older. ]

This isn't... this isn't the Luceti I was just in. Just a second ago it was summer, and I'd been... it doesn't matter.

[ this young woman is frowning rather severely at her journal, her mind obviously working a mile a minute as she thinks. ]

... is there something strange going on? Can anyone tell me when this is? What year is it? Something doesn't seem right.

[ there's a pause, now, and a little bit of anxiety as she proceeds. ] ... is everyone still--? ... dad? Axel, Roxas? ... Riku?

[ unconsciously, Xion raises a hand, pressing her fingers to her mouth in worry and in thought. The observant may notice that there seems to be a plain gold band around her ring finger. Surely that can't be a wedding ring? She'll drop her hand before you can get a closer look, though. ]

Please, tell me what's going on.

[1) different bracket style just because. but also to cut down on the length of this thing.

2) she looks something like this, only with the hair midway down her chest instead. spoiler as to who she married. 8|

3) all replies will come from

reactualized and y'all better appreciate because making that shit took FOREVER. also please do comment here if you want Xion to have knowledge of a future version of your character!

4) I'm tagging like a beast EVERYWHERE right now, please do ping me if I missed something somewhere.]

(edit; WHOOPS I just realized there's a bit of a time discrepancy in some threads, as to what time of the year it was when Xion was poofed back. :|a gonna just handwave it. sorry!)

[...His eyes go wide here. ~~Actually, the mess of things going on his face are probably close to the same as what she saw if/when she told him she was engaged~~ ...Before he settles into an easy if somewhat forced smile]

Eeeh~ congrats, Xion-san.

[ oh, she absolutely would have told him. so that face is familiar, and she watches with a little sympathy. ]

Thanks, Kida. And I still wouldn't mind going on that date with you, just ... as friends.

Thank you. [He grins all earnestly like at this. Though he'll be drilling her with questions later, he's glad for it

...Well, considering...] The place to go would be Seventh Heaven, I guess?

[ the earnestness brings a real smile out of her. it's good to see.

but that name makes her blink, like she doesn't recognize it. ] ... you mean-- oh! That's dad's-- er. Sanji's restaurant, right?

[ she's trying so hard not to make slip ups like that, too. ]

Anyway, sure. That sounds like a good idea.

[mfw "dad"]

That's the one! [And here, he laughs, before leaping a few steps ahead of her]

Let's go, Xion-san.

[ ~~what does mfw mean~~

Xion laughs again, something Kida seems to be good at today, and follows. ]

Okay, okay! You always have so much energy, Kida. I don't know where you find it.

["my face when (you said)"

Buuut... there we go]

Love-love energy, perhaps?
