... I need your help. And you can't tell anyone, okay?

( Aqua | Locked 100% )

Aqua... I know we haven't spoken that much, but I need to ask you a really, really big favor.

( Sanji | Locked 100% )

[ a long silence goes here. ] ... could I stay at your house tonight?

( Luke | Locked 100% )

I'd -- [ ... ] Can I see you?

[ Xion is out of the house today. Mostly because it's become almost impossible to stay there. She hasn't slept for more than a handful of hours since Vanitas attacked -- three days ago. She's so exhausted she can barely stay on her feet, but better awake and moving than a sitting target.

Who could sleep, knowing that at any minute someone stronger than you and your friends could break into your home and kill you whenever he wanted?

It's this question that drives her to address Luceti at large, once she's got herself settled on the railing of That One Bridge. Hey, it's like right next to her house and she wanted to sit on a bridge, so sue her. ]

What would you do if you didn't feel safe in your own home anymore?

[ and this is to say nothing -- not a damn thing -- of how she feels about Roxas right now. He had no excuse -- what defense could you give? -- and Axel almost died -- for what? Why? Why had any of this happened? Does she blame Roxas, for extending the invitation, or Vanitas, for taking it? Even if she had something to say to him, she couldn't -- he hasn't been home in days.

It's a very numb Poppet that's sitting on that there railing, swinging her legs and staring at the water below. Please interrupt her thoughts -- for they are very grim ones. ]

The only thing to do then is to be strong enough to defeat all the attackers, isn't it? [A pause...] Or to have someone to protect you.

[Yeah his mood just... keeps spiraling into more and more yan. The barely-concealed rage Xion might have gotten ~~our ongoing /my bad~~ previous thread is reaching a bit of a boiling point now that he's becoming passingly aware of her situation]

I wish I were that strong. [ there's such fervor in her voice, for just a moment -- and then it's gone again, replaced by the numb sadness with which she's talking to everyone else. ] No, I won't put anyone else at risk. Not after what's already happened.

You don't have to ask. If you can't be that strong someone will protect you- I could, or Riku-kun. [This is still dull with a hard edge. He's not digging, not yet, just yanned out]

[ ... ha, Riku. Riku would get killed trying to fight Vanitas, and Xion knows it. ]

We'd have to keep fighting him off forever. We need a better way...

Ah, that's right. You can't take them out for good here...

No. And, well... I guess you could keep killing him until the penalties became too much, but ... [ :/ ] People would still get hurt trying to do it. I just keep thinking there must be a way to hide... A friend of mine suggested some powerful magic. I want to try it.

Hiding doesn't seem very lasting, Xion-chan...

[But, then. It's probably better for her to hide. He can go kill this sonovabitch. His eyes harden a little thinking about this, but he just nods, deciding addressing the topic at hand is better. He'll... get a name or something later]

But if it keeps you safe, I suppose that's something for the best, isn't it?

It's a little more complicated than that... we could hide the whole house this way, and he could never find it. I think that's how it works...

[ if only she knew what you were thinking, Kida. she'd yell at you. maybe even scream. because you'd die. Vanitas -- he's not human, after all. ]

... that's what I'm hoping. [ this face. ]

A hiding spot that can't be found at all? [Color him surprised, that sounds too good to be true]
