--stay!

[ Is that a distorted, but may be recognizable voice? Why, yes, maybe, to those who know her. There's heavy breathing, but it distances itself from the Gear, and there's surprised sounds from a Togekiss, Typhlosion, and Gabite in the background

[Have an AU!Roxas. He's just arrived in Johto for the second time and is still trying to figure out how he got there, not mention annoyed that his ipod's out of batteries. But then he heard someone calling for help and the voice sounded familiar, but it can't be her she left a long time ago, and he knows he shouldn't get involved, but still. He can't just ignore something like this.]

...

Are you alright? What do you need help with.

[ordalias]

... Roxas? [ Again?

She's quiet on her end. Right, didn't Minnie say she could meet all sorts of people when something like... whatever is happening now? She didn't make mention of multiples... ]

[makesmefeellike]

Yeah. That's me.

[There's a pause as he's placing the voice. It's been a long time since he's heard it.]

Is...is that you, Xion?

[ordalias]

[ Have a bit of silence of her own. Come to think of it, maybe the Roxas that answered her earlier wasn't the one she's sharing a world with. This one made it sound as if they hadn't heard from each other in a long while. ]

... It is. Are you okay, Roxas?

[makesmefeellike]

Yeah. I'm alright. Just don't know what the hell's going on here.

[There's a pause. He hasn't heard from Xion in at least two years now that he thinks about it.]

What about you? Are you okay?

[ordalias]

I--

[ If her guess really is right, she'd have to check with this Roxas. ]

I will be. Can I see you, Roxas?

[makesmefeellike]

Yeah, sure! I mean, I want to see you to.

Where are you?

[There's some fumbling around because where is he and does this thing even have a map and no Cubone he can't pay attention to you right now and omg he gets to see Xion again]

[ordalias]

I'm in Saffron City.

[makesmefeellike]

I...think that's where I am to.

This place doesn't make any sense. Does the po-ke-mon center mean anything to you?

[ordalias]

... Yes. But I don't think we should meet in there. What about the roof of Saffron's Department Store?

[makesmefeellike]

I think I can get there. Be there in a bit.

[It takes him some time, mostly because he's not really paying attention, he's in a rush okay? But he makes it there eventually, almost out of breath]

Xion? Are you here?

[ordalias]

[ And here's Xion waiting patiently on the roof, hood drawn to cover her face. ]

Yeah. [ She notes his state. ] Ah... You didn't have to rush, Roxas.

[makesmefeellike]

Sure I did. Xion, I haven't seen you in years. Not since...not since you left...

[Have a quizzical look. What's with the hood?]

[ordalias]

... Years? It's only been... a few weeks since I actually physically met you. We talked over the Gear maybe... a week or two ago?

[ Sooo strange here. ]

[makesmefeellike]

Yeah, years. You left after Axel did. He went missing, remember?

[Sorry, I haven't updated the AU backstory. Basically in this AU, Roxas lives in a suburb and was quite close with Axel and Xion and what not and they were, mostly out of boredom, delinquents. However as they grow up, they drift apart, Axel goes missing, and then Xion leaves and Roxas hasn't heard from either of them in a long time. It's still kind of rough.]

[ordalias]

[ She's quiet as she digests all of this. Years? And Axel gone missing? For whatever reason... ]

Roxas... I don't think I'm the Xion you might be remembering.
