[What odd timing Luke has. He'd just been out to get away from Asch for a while, because everyone knows they need some time away from each other sometimes. Otherwise they'd probably kill each other, and what better time than in the evening?
He'd just been looking at the stars that are peeking out one by one when he hears a scuttling noise. It sounds a bit like a snake slithering loudly through the grass, and so Luke stops and looks toward the noise -
SHIT SHIT WHAT THE CHRIST WHAT IS THAT THING CREEPY SWAYING SHOULD HE FIGHT IT WHAT THE HELL IS - it wearing?]
[ NOTHING. IT IS WEARING NOTHING, YOU DON'T SEE ANYTHING AT ALL.
She doesn't see him yet, as she's looking back over her shoulder -- apparently, even though this creature has no visible eyes with which to see. It's only when she slithers some few feet closer that she spots him, freezes, and draws up tight and narrow.
For a moment, she hovers there, quivering. Then she abruptly darts away. ]
[IT'S TOTALLY WEARING SOMETHING. Something Luke recognizes. And it makes him draw the wrong conclusion, as he widens his eyes and chases after it. If it had that ring, then...]
[ Dusks are very fast, Luke. How quickly can you sprint?
She'll dart behind the bakery as soon as she reaches it. What to do, what to do, what to do....
But a Dusk won't be what Luke sees when he catches up. Instead there will be a pretty woman, tall, with long, curly brown hair, sitting there with her knees curled up to her chest, looking very dejected indeed.
Though her back is to the building, Luke may now be able to spot her violet wings. ]
Because it amuses me far too much for them to meet like this >>markofthebraveMay 7 2011, 05:11:20 UTC
[Hello. Katara's on her way to visit someone, carrying a basket full of flowers, and you are an odd looking creature - don't mind her as she stops and stares.]
you know you love itmarkofthebraveMay 8 2011, 16:33:11 UTC
[OK, whatever that thing is isn't attacking, despite how scary looking it is... and in fact it looks kind of miserable, with that shivering and twitching. Katara takes a half-step closer.]
Xion shakes her head. She doesn't know what to do... what to try and communicate. It would be easier if he saw her as someone else... but she's not even sure what's happening to her, right now.
She comes closer and huddles down beside him, not really trying to communicate anything further for now. She's just glad of the company. ]
[he knows that form-- he's taken a raked limb to the face or any other part of his body so often that every memory of every encounter with a Dusk has melded into one, familiar blur; a knowledge of how to fight them has evolved into instinct.]
[and though he'd seen a single Heartless scurrying around Luceti, and it doesn't surprise him that a Nobody would be around, too, he's still... there's a ghost of caution there as he approaches, Keyblade already in hand. because Sora has learned that nothing he's ever bumped into in this world has ever been what it seems.]
No no no!! Why didn't she think of this?! Of COURSE the boys would just Keyblade her! They wouldn't know any better! Stupid!
Xion freezes at the sight of him -- and his Keyblade -- then promptly darts away to hide behind a bench. Only once safely ensconced behind this barrier does she poke her head up, watching him warily. ]
[he's still on the swift approach, though he's never exactly had a Dusk run from him before. maybe it's the Dusk = enemy = must fight notion that's been ingrained in his brain the several months he spent traveling back home, but he's still not even close to not considering this one a threat.]
[the Keyblade's raised as he calmly steps toward her-- partly on his toes and ready to attack, and partly waiting to see what what she does.]
Awesome first meeting?breaks_destinyMay 7 2011, 19:15:04 UTC
[In Luceti one is bond to see their share of odd and strange things, but it seems there's always room for something new. Keiichi can't help to stare, but... Well, they are in the middle of a New Feather cycle, right? And that creature.. He isn't sure of it's moving with a purpose or not.]
[ ... well, he's not staring at her like he's going to kill her. Or run away in fear. That's a new one, so far. She watches him warily for a moment, weaving and waving in that way Dusks do, never still, then slowly inches closer. She stops a safe distance away, and slowly shakes her head. No. ]
why? it's a perfect way to meet the newest member of the Brigadebreaks_destinyMay 7 2011, 21:36:09 UTC
[This thing... It never stays still or what. He blinks at the shaking of the head, he thinks it shook its head at least, it may have just been a tick or something.]
she gon' run away from him later )8aboysfaceMay 7 2011, 21:59:26 UTC
[ ... slow nod.
A thought occurs to her. Aren't her wings there? She tries to reach her back -- fails -- peers over her shoulder -- and comically twists around in place a few times before settling, somewhat irritated by the set of her body, so that she faces Keiichi again.
Unbeknownst to her, her wings are hidden, at the moment -- a Dusk's body being a rather peculiar thing.
In her twisting and shifting, the necklace she was wearing has fallen off, and tumbled to the ground, though she doesn't notice. ]

Xion pauses when she spots Katara. ... shivers and twitches, too, in that way that Dusks do, but she doesn't move.
... please go away. ;; ]

Inch closer maybe? Inch inch inch? ]

Though hesitant, she too inches towards him. She extends a "hand," a clawed, bound up thing, though not in threat. The motion is slow, and gentle. ]

Eventually she just stops, and curls up in a ball on the ground, her arms over her head.
Yes, this is a Dusk, cowering. Afraid. That's not something you see every day. ]

No? So you have been in Luceti for a while now?
