... 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.)

How reliable of friends are you talking about here?
blessingone: (I know more of the stars and sea)

[ it takes her a moment to reply. ]

If they don't look after you properly, I'm not going to go easy on them. [ by which she means that she's not going to go out. she'd like to, but she knows her limits. ]
blessingone: (I'll be awful sometimes)

[ she smiles a little in return -- mostly an automatic reaction to the laugh, but it's also good to hear that Xion can still laugh, even after just being returned. ]

I'm counting on you to give me an accurate report, then. ...But, before that, I'm counting on you to keep warm until they get there--and after, of course, but they'll have to help with that, too.
blessingone: (and to you everything will seem normal)

[ Fenimore hung on -- by which I mean she took the time to glance through the other replies and, in particular, make note of the names of the people who went out to get Xion. she's hoping that she won't need to use this information though.

she returns her attention to Xion when she returns to the journal pretty quickly, but still takes a moment to reply. she does wonder a little about what made this time not so bad, but she really doesn't feel comfortable asking for any details and she's not sure either of them would really want to talk about it. so, instead: ]


I'm glad you know how to start a fire. Do you at least have something warmer than that dress new feathers wear?
blessingone: (maybe in the pacific)

[ there's a sudden intake of breath that indicates that she did, in fact, not ignore the scar -- though, granted, it was quiet enough that it could be missed. that looks like a rather nasty place to get a scar. but, having scars of her own that she has been keeping tight-lipped about and noting that Xion would be a little more careful if it were a dangerous wound now, she doesn't say anything about it. it does take her about a second longer than usual to reply, though. ]

It's better below and worse on top.... I guess no thought was put into your comfort when you were given pants. [ but now that she's thinking of the clothes rather than the scar, she gets a sense of déjà vu. ] It looks familar, though.
blessingone: (like you could save me)

[personal profile] blessingone 2010-12-31 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh, that was it. But if it's supposed to be a joke, they have a really bad sense of humour. I wouldn't even be able to see how it's supposed to be funny.
blessingone: (maybe in the pacific)

[ oh, that's right. this is the second time since she had met Xion that the other had been kidnapped. ] Does this happen to you often? Why would they keep taking one person...?
blessingone: (the way that summer fades)

Xion.... [ her eyes look to one side for a moment. ] Listen, I-- [ oh, wait. this is public. ] Wait a moment.
blessingone: (all this feels strange and untrue)

[ Fenimore has never made a filter before and she can't think of where to look up how to do it, so, by rather unclear memory, she puts a rather awful filter on the thread. it only fails to win the Worst Filter Ever award because it couldn't be hacked accidentally, but that's about all that can be said about it. even Fenimore realizes this as she looks at her creation skeptically, reaching to try to find something to copy from. ] --Give me a minute.
