[ Xion had walked into the clothing store in the village square as her normal self. Just a sixteen year old Poppet picking up some warmer clothes for winter, nothing new

Giles? Thank goodness. Am I ever glad to hear your voice! [ even though there's something slightly off here, too. ] That's the thing, I don't know. Is there an experiment of some sort going on right now?
[There is going to be a pink haired blob child watching you from the other edge of the fountain Xion. He's not making much noise, no, but how hard can it be to spot someone that stands out so much?]
When she looks up from her journal and spots Crona, Xion freezes for a moment, blinking. Little as he is, it's hard not to recognize Crona, with that hair and permanent facial expression. Though he'd gotten a little better in the past few years...
Still, Xion knows she needs to approach this carefully. She rises slowly and walks over to where Crona is, tilting her head and watching the little boy. Her voice is gentle when she calls out ]
[ oh boy. does this version not even speak? Regardless, Xion smiles at him, tucking her journal away in her coat pocket and takes a seat beside Crona. ]
[ Guess who doesn't bother taking a closer look because Xion's figure doesn't even register as being familiar from a small ways away as he scurries about?
[ Xion springs to her feet when she sees him half ready to call up a Thunder spell to get rid of the thing. A Heartless, here? Now? Why? this can't be part of...
the... experiments.
Wait. Oh dear.
Xion remembers just in time that she's undergoing a shift right now, and ten years ago... ]
Kohan!
[ pulling her coat a bit tighter around her body -- it's cold! -- Xion gives chase to the little Heartless, almost certain it's her friend. ] Kohan, is that you?
[ It's only with the second calling of the name that Repliku realizes why it sounds familiar. Isn't that the name he gave to Kyrie? Why is someone shouting--
He turns, and nearly falls off his feet. Is that... Is that Xion? ]
[Ramirez has remained completely unaffected by the experiment for the moment, not that it matters. Considering the way things were going, for all he knew, he might be just as affected as everyone else.
But that is not important. The important thing is he is currently flipping through the journal to see exactly what had happened to the people he's acquainted with because he cannot stand surprises.
Lo and behold, Xion. Right away he can tell something is up with her. Sigh.]
...Xion. I trust someone has informed you of the situation already?
Yes. More experiments. I've been Shifted back from ten years into Luceti's future. [ a quiet sigh. ] I'm still trying to remember everything that was going on ten years ago. How are things with you? Are you okay?
[ oof. she'd feel bad if she knew she let that slip. as it is she hasn't realized. she pauses at his question ]
It's hard for me to say. I don't know what I need to remember, since I can't remember it... it was just such a long time ago. I'm not even sure who's here and who isn't.

Actually, to be more precise, there appear to be several experiments going on at once.

Of course. Just do me a favor -- can you tell me what cycle year this is?

shuts it.
Ten years too young, and a girl... Xion has a little trouble placing Sokka. And by a little I mean: WHO ARE YOU? ]
... yes?

[Stating the obvious. She's not as stunned as she should be. After all, she's been out and about already.]

[ a pause ]
I'm sorry, but... who are you? You look familiar, but...

Xion sees the way he reacts to her, and she slows, suddenly uncertain. When did he start going by Kohan...? When did he tell her that name?
Shoot. Maybe she should have called him Riku... ]
Hey... are you okay? [ aside from still being stuck in that form. she's none too pleased about that. ]

Have a similar sigh. God, that sucks.]
So far, everything is fine. I think. Is there anything in particular you need help remembering?

Hey, what's the date, anyway?
