... oh, that's just n-n-not fair.

[ In the woods bordering the western lake, this one, having just come to only a moment ago. Her tone may be a little irritated, but, well, she sounds okay, not hurt or anything. That's a plus, right?

Well, except for the fact that she's ... not very well dressed for the weather. She's stuck in the same training outfit her older self showed up in, a black ensemble that shows her midriff... only now there is a scar. A long scar, so long it vanishes into her clothing, extending fully from her left breast to her right hip. Of course, only the long slice of it across her belly is visible.

It's a scar, by the way, that her older self did not possess when she turned up in the same clothes. Curious.

Xion's not thinking about that right now, though. What she's thinking about is that it's freezing -- her luck to show up in the middle of a cold snap! And she's a little bothered that the scar is on display, but... well, what can she do about it? With a sigh that comes out on a violent shiver, she climbs to her feet. (At least she's got shoes.)

This has happened to her so many times now she's getting sort of used to it, and it's a nice change to at least not come back feeling sick/hurt/terrified/some combination therein. She'll flip through the journal a bit, fighting off more shivers, before speaking. Her speech is a little garbled, unfortunately, by her chattering teeth. ]

D-D-D-Does anyone know w-w-w-what day it is? I wonder if I m-m-m-m-missed Christmas. [ a beat, then ] D-D-Did they really have t-t-to drop me off so f-f-f-f-far out?

[ Walking all the way back, dressed like this, in this weather? ... send halp. ]

(ooc; OKAY SO. for once I am going to obey the rules of time and space. Luke got there first, so he's gonna pick her up. if you want to poke her at the lake in an action tag, that's totally cool, but just know it's only Luke taking her home. easier on my poor brain for once.)

[Luke nearly scrambles to his journal upon hearing Xion, even though her speech is garbled. She's out in the cold and it's freezing out there-]

Xion! Xion, where are you?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Xion! You're back! [Since, you know, she might not have noticed this on her own.] Are you okay?

[Voice]

[fourteen]

Yeah... again. [ of course not. ] I'm okay! I'm just f-f-f-freezing!

[Nicholas is out and about in this winter time, too. But he actually is equipped with a too-big jacket and a scarf that swallows up half his face. He's wandering around to look at everything because—wow, this is nothing like home. It's really something.

When he sees this poor sight, he stops.]

Hey, y'shouldn't be running around in that.

[...duh, kid.]

[ opens mouth.

shuts it.

shivers hard.

you are strangely familiar, small child, but Xion can't quite place his face. the scarf doesn't help. but still, that voice... hm.

she shivers again, pausing in her wood-collecting motions. ]

I know, b-b-believe me. The Malnosso l-l-l-l-left me out here!

[Oh brother.] It's the 28th. Where are you?

Jale?

[ oh ... she TOTALLY missed christmas. bummer. ]

At the w-w-w-western l-l-lake.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Xion!

[A beat. She might not even want to talk to him, but any worries about that will have to wait.]

It's December 28th right now. You feeling okay?

[voice]

[fourteen]

[ ... well. regardless if she does or doesn't, she won't ignore him when she hears his voice. ]

I'm fine... j-j-j-just cold.

[voice]

[flaring]

Yeah, afraid you missed Christmas. But we can make it up so don't worry about it. Where are you?

[voice]

[fourteen]

F-F-Figures. [ another sigh, and a shiver. ]

By the western l-l-lake. Someone's coming to get me, though.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Were you kidnapped?

[voice]

[fourteen]

[ ... Ventus? ]

Yeah... it's happened to me b-b-b-before.

[blessingone]

Xion? What--? [ Fenimore had actually no idea that Xion had been kidnapped, but her confusion is cleared up pretty quickly based on what she said. It certainly doesn't clear up the worry, though. ] Are you all right? [ She could get the answer looking about the other comments, but she's not exactly thinking clearly. ]

[fourteen]

Fenimore! [ she can't help but smile -- and then fight off a shiver. ]

I'm fine! Just -- really cold!

[my-safe-corner.livejournal.com]

...Xion..? [There is the sound of worry, which of course is his way of asking if she's okay.]

[fourteen]

[ ... she hears it. and it makes her go :( a bit. ]

Crona... I'm okay. R-R-R-Really. [ ... really really. ]

[Voice]

[perplexme]

[He's hesitant at first, and then...]

Yeah, you missed it...at least Kairi didn't make you wear a ridiculous outfit like the rest of us.

[Voice]

[fourteen]

[ roxas. ;; by now xion's got her fire so she's not freezing anymore. ]

... ridiculous outfit?

[Action]

[hisdarkmark]

[Hello, Poppet. There is a Draco there throwing around some more of his hexes. He's not as angry as he was a week ago when Myuria left, but he's mostly doing it just to have something to do. However, he's soon distracted by the distinct chattering and he turns his head, catching Xion from the corner of his eye.]

...bit cold for that sort of outfit, wouldn't you say?

[Action]

[fourteen]

[ ... watched the hexing for a bit. she can't help it, Draco's magic is still so damn cool to her.

she smiles a little bit when he looks over. she's got her fire going now, so that's something, right? ]

Yeah, I would say. It wasn't really my choice, though.

[Voice]

[meteorical]

Please tell me you're on your way home soon.

[Voice]

[fourteen]

Some friends are coming to get me.

[ gdit, Jale and Luke. ]

It's gonna take a while, but yeah, I'll be come as soon as I can. ... I'm sorry I missed Christmas.

[...Oh dear. No matter how many times he hears them, posts like these always make he blood run cold. Especially if it's someone he knows. Especially when Ramirez had no idea the Malnosso had taken her.

But it's easy to tell what this was the aftermath of, and it's clearly Xion's voice, so there's no reason to ask her what happened or shout her name across the journal and possibly startle her. And it seems as though that Luke fellow had already gone to fetch her. So he is going to be very straight and to-the-point about the matter.]

Are you hurt?

[So he says in that soft, calm, brotherly voice that is not nearly as agitated as he feels.]

[voice] sob

[fourteen]

[ ... it's the right choice. after a few people freaking out over her health, it's really nice to have someone sound -- at least sound -- perfectly calm about it. and it immediately gets a smile out of her, to hear Ramirez. she's got her fire now, so she won't stutter, which is a bonus. ]

I'm okay. They didn't hurt me. They left me out in this freezing weather, but... I've got a fire. I think I'll be okay.
