{day 1} ☂ action/accidental video.

[moonlighters]

Okay...  [ She gave the cat a skeptical eye. ]  Look, I don't really need anything, I just need to-- You know what, forget it.

[ The place apparently had it's queens and felines, but this was no Wonderland, and Roxas wasn't about to ask the cat for anything anytime soon (whom, thankfully, didn't seem to talk in riddles).  She had more important

Comments

[volticcrush]

[And who should happen to look at just the right moment? Number XIII really is unlucky sometimes.]

Well, well. The gang is all coming together, isn't it, pip squeak~

[moonlighters]

[ Roxas is confused. Where is that voice coming from? And it sounds just like hers, but that couldn't be right...

She swivels her head from side to side until she bends down after discerning the voice came from below and looked through the mirror. Wait...had that been there before? And from there, a co-worker's face showed up. Though not the one she was looking for. ]

...Larxene?! What are you-- no, how are you even here? I thought at C.O....

[volticcrush]

[Seeing Roxas all a-fluster will amuse Larxene quite a lot, though she's wondering why the munchkin seems to be a she, now, but so is Sora, and so is everyone, so perhaps she'll have to deal.]

You didn't think you were bereft of me, did you, Roxas? How could I leave my favorite little pal all alone~

[moonlighters]

But they said you were--

[ She momentarily pauses, remembering back when she thought Axel had been erased, then popped out of nowhere like a ghost during one of her missions. Maybe, it was the case for Larxene, too...? Though, that wouldn't explain why she didn't come back to the Organization like he did. ]

Well, uh, I guess... it's good you're here? [ probably? ] But why didn't you come back to castle, then?

Ven... ? [ she's been busying making preparations for what may come of the Queen's latest announcement, and hasn't had the time to pay much attention to the Vine. Still, it seems to demand it of her, and creeps up in front of her, and then she's frozen ] Oh, Ventus, you came back! I'll be with you in a moment. Please, just stay where you are.

[moonlighters]

Umm...what? [ Wait. Was that lady talking to her? It didn't seem to be directed at anyone else...

Oh, boy. This wasn't another case of mis-identity like Phil did back at the Coliseum, was it? She'd have to explain herself this time. ]

I think you've got the--

[restlesswaters]

[ unfortunately for Roxas, Aqua's already on her way over before she hears her reply. She knows Xion's clock tower well enough, and she's there within mere minutes. Rushing over to Ventus (and she doesn't even think for a moment that it might not be her, because after the past few weeks, she can't bear the thought), she skids to a halt in front of her, hands on her shoulders ]

Ventus-are you alright? I was so sure you were gone for good.

action;

[moonlighters]

Gone for good? I just got here.

[ Roxas almost stiffens under the touch, not sure how to feel when a person she didn't even know came into close contact, and she shakes her head. ]

Sorry, but uh... you've got the wrong person. I'm Roxas.

[namedforthesky]

Ven!?

[No. Wait. Black coat...]

...Roxas!? You're back!?

[1/?] Video;

[moonlighters]

No. I keep telling you I just got he--

[moonlighters]

[ Wait a minute... Isn't that

the girl in red...?! ]

[3/?] Video;

[moonlighters]

[ No, that couldn't be possible... Could it? She stares dumbfounded at Sora, trying to compare her to the one she would always see in flashbacks and the occasional dreams... ]

[ Eh. It was no good. The face was too blurry. ]

[onelastflower]

It's okay! [clearly Aerith had noticed the girl's tension and felt she should come try to cheer her up]

It's a bit weird, but hi! You're new to the Gardens, aren't you?

[moonlighters]

I--yeah, I am.

[ She gives one last apprehensive glance at the clock tower before facing the woman in the mirror. ]

What... can you tell me about that tower over there?

[onelastflower]

Then I should say welcome, too. [she smiles, and then looks off in the direction of the clock tower, tapping her chin as she thinks]

I don't know very much about it, why?

[moonlighters]

Oh, well... that's okay. [ no, it was actually pretty unsettling. ] It just looked familiar-- never mind then.

[ She tries to appear as normal as can be (though her poker face is rather terrible) and ruffles the back of her head, like Axel would always do when he appeared to be nervous. ]

Thanks, anyway.

Do you live around here?

[video] /POUNCES

[mnementomori]

[She knew it, she knew it! Sora was right, she just had to keep hoping, and things would turn out okay.]

Roxas! Roxas, you're back!

[yes, that is an overjoyed biffle of yours sticking her face close to the mirror. She'll even forgive you if you don't remember her.]

[video] asdfjkl; /falls over <3

[moonlighters]

Xion!

[ She knew that voice anywhere and also leaned towards the mirror, her nose practically sticking to the glass. ]

I finally found you! [ The Roxas as she was now would never forget her friends. ]

[video] <3 <3

[mnementomori]

Found me? You were looking for me?

[wait...something's different. Roxas is wearing her cloak, not those weird clothes.]

Does that mean--your memory's fixed?

[video]

[moonlighters]

You kidding? Anywhere I could think of.

[ She gestured sadly towards Xion with one hand, almost as if holding it out to her, despite not being in the same proximity.]

I'm not sure what you mean about my memory, [ a jab at her first zombie week? :| ] but me and Axel were worried.

Let's go back home.
