( Sokka | Locked 100% )

... 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. ]

( filtered AWAY from Vanitas and Saix | Locked 100% )

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. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ only five hours sleep in three days. she's exhausted beyond belief. but she smiles at his comment, and nods -- she knows. ]

Um, well... I'm going to ask Sanji. I think we might have two... I have to talk to Kairi, first. [ a beat, a tiny tiny smile, and: ] I'll tell her to talk to you. Sanji, I mean.

... oh! That reminds me! [ now would be a good time, huh... ]

[OH THANK GOD SHE DIDN'T CHOOSE HIM seriously Luke has already been charged with one secret that he's kept so far, but it's been HARD doing so. Not to mention that the consequences would be much greater if he spilled this one.

... Maybe. Jade is TERRIFYING, after all.

So, Luke can't help but let out a small sigh of relief. Sanji and Kairi, then? No surprise there... Kairi's the one who could pass for Xion's original, right? She's the girl she was based off of...

... Luke can't help but wonder if he could trust Asch like that. And... it bothers him a little to think that he's not really sure.

But once Xion speaks again, Luke snaps out if his thoughts.]

... Huh? Reminds you of what?

[ ... well. the plan was to ask Kairi ... if she wanted anyone else to be a Secret Keeper. But Luke is free to think that -- since, well, Xion and Kairi do actually get along like a house on fire a lot of the time.

It's funny, because Xion avoided her "real thing" for months and months on end -- out of fear she'd hate her. Kairi's reaction had, instead, been much the opposite.

Funny how these things work out, huh? ]

Oh, just... about Sanji. Um, she's normally... a guy. [ eh heh. ] The Malnosso turned her into a woman. Just don't mention it to her, okay? I got turned into a boy once, and it was annoying and kinda weird to have everyone keep insisting to me I was a girl... [ thoughtful look. man, that was strange. ]

Oh...

[............................... wait

wait

wait]

What?!

[ ... eh heh. ]

Yeah... that's why I was saying not to use "kun." Since I think that's supposed to be for boys only.

[ this face FOREVER. ]

[SO...

SO...

THE MELONS WERE A LIE?]

So I was calling her... him a...

[THIS FACE FOREVER.]

Her. For now, at least! But, um... yeah, I think so.

[ she starts to laugh. his face! she can't help it. ]

Edited 2011-01-11 09:18 (UTC)

[And Luke is at a loss for words, so he just turns even redder, if possible, and puts his hands on his hips! NOOO DON'T LAUGH AT HIM!]

Y-You could've told me sooner, jeez! [He doesn't sound mad, though, just flustered. JEEZ XION, WAY TO EMBARRASS HIM.]

I--! I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to feel weird around her...!

[ aldkjghslaj DISSOLVING INTO SERIOUS GIGGLES FOREVER. ]

[... okay that makes sense BUT COME ON.]

Well now I feel weird now! [This has dissolved from serious embarrassment to arguing for the sake of arguing, just like he'd do with Guy. Really, Luke just. Shouldn't be surprised anymore, considering that one experiment when everyone turned into... everything.]

Oh, come on, you'll get better! [ SNERK. not taking much pity over here unfortunately. ] It's not that bad, is it? [ GRINNING. ]

I'll show you how bad it is!

[HEADLOCK + HAIRRUFFLE ATTAAAACK]

[ SHRIEK!

... of laughter. OH GOD WHAT IS HE DOING THAT'S MY HEAD YOU CAD--

immediately she wriggles and twists in his grasp, gasping and laughing hysterically ]

Nononoooo, stop!

You asked for it!

[... But since she is a girl he'll give her mercy, so with an extra hard ruffle, he lets her go--!

Only to bust out laughing, because now her hair is everywhere.]

H-Hey! [ SHE SEES YOU LAUGHING MISTER. and she can guess why. slightly pink in the face, she tries to flatten her hair down, but it's an irrecoverable mess. Luke will get a playful shove in the arm for his troubles. ]

[Luke will just take a step back from the shove as his laughter dissolves to snickering behind his hand. His next comment is so childish and he knows it, but he can't stop it.]

You shove like a girl!

[ WHAT. hdu. somewhat indignant!, Xion advances on him. ] What's that supposed to mean? [ SHOVE. 8| she's still grinning, though. ]

[GRIN. He takes another little stumble back, but then reaches out to hold her back... by the top of her head. JUST TRY TO SHOVE HIM NOW.]

What else could it mean?

[ ALJDKGHALSKF. flails her arms for a moment, then .... gets this devious little grin on her face. ]

Oh, that's it!

[ she's gonna duck under his arm and TACKLE HIM. bodily. WILL THEY BOTH COLLAPSE INTO A HEAP ON THE BRIDGE Y/N? ]

[N BECAUSE LUKE IS LIKE A WALL OF STEEL

... Only not, so DOWN THEY GO. IFUTJLJGDHD UNEXPECTED.]

H-Hey!

[ down they go! of course, she lands on top of him, and just dissolves into giggles again. ]

Now who shoves like a girl, huh?

[TOPPED BY A GIRL, WHAT.

THIS FACE.]

You call that a shove?

[ always, Luke. always.

she does roll off him, though, and sit up, leaning back on her hands to smile unrepentantly at him ]

... I guess it was more of a tackle ... but still, I won!

[Someday. Someday.

Luke just crosses his arms and SCOWLS. Xion you are so lucky you aren't Guy or else he'd TACKLE YOU AND FLIP YOU OFF THE BRIDGE.]

At least I won the real battle!

[ pffffff hahahahaha. more giggling -- at least until he says that. that shuts her up, and even gets an indignant gasp out of her! ]

What real battle?
