[For anyone out on a walk amidst the chaos and confusion of the week, and who are nearby the entrance to the catacombs, might find a troubling sight of one pale young girl crumpled up in the snow. She's still wearing a jacket, but in some areas of it and her white dress it's been reduced to shreds, like she was attacked by something vicious and ( Read more... )

[The last thing that Xion had wanted to do during all this was to go out. The less people knew about her, the better, in the current situation she had found herself in. In fact, she had been pretty quiet over the network because of things as they were. But when she had found out that Naminé had vanished and no one knew where she had gone?

Well, that was why she was out and about. Despite still not quite being used to the more wiry body, despite the way she still winced when she heard his voice coming from herself- or, rather, himself. Navigating the city had proven to be a little difficult, too. She had walked it before, of course. Searching for people. Searching for Kairi the once. And Roxas. And then Naoki and Firion. But corridors had always made things easier. And they would have been especially more convenient in the current troubling times ( ... )

[The red and black blur in her vision... it had to be Axel. The frown fades as she blinks bleakly in his direction, knowing and wondering that he'd be ashamed by this (or close to it at least). She turns her head a little bit away from him, just not wanting to see or guess any particular looks he might give her at the moment. The silence from the two of them was already enough.

She didn't have a lot of energy, and the more she sunk into the mattress, the closer she felt to sleep. But with what little strength she had, she manages to roll over to her side, away from Sora, feeling just guilty for having him here, even if it was his choice to.

She closes her eyes and sighs, a short one since rolling over even managed to just be a painful endeavour.] ...Sorry.

[Action] viiinote February 1 2011, 06:30:44 UTC

For what. [These kids and their apologies. It just doesn't make sense half the time. Axel finally finds a t-shirt and some pajama pants for Namine to wear for now, because there's no way that she's going to sleep wearing a dress again. After shutting the door to the closet he comes back over and places the clothes on the side of the bed.

While glancing between the two of them,]

Just gather yourselves up, ok? [Axel tries to sound as calm as possible, but it's just hard to do when he's getting a little stressed out.]

We'll talk more about it when this event dies down.

[Xion didn't mind the way she turned over, just figuring that she was trying to find a more comfortable way to lay. But at that apology... she couldn't help but frown. It wasn't necessary. And she knew it. But just as she was about to voice that, Axel chimed in, signaling his return. Xion looked at them and then back at the red head. Honestly, her head seemed to be slightly ducked every time she looked at him ever since she had become him, but that was the most that ever really showed her discomfort by this point. Well- At least now that there were other things to tend to.

In fact, the most reaction he had gotten out of her in a while came at his latter statement- to which Xion's eyes widened and she gestured with her hands frantically- N-Not now, Axel, please!]

[Naminé sags further into her pillows when he responds, not bothering to reply back to him. A lot of things had been her fault, and she was sure somehow that her little trip down to the catacombs was no different.

It was almost strange to know that the two of them were so worried about her clothing when all the girl really wanted to do at that moment was sleep her pain off. And she was so close, almost gone into the beginnings of a slumber. But when Axel chimed in yet again, something that he said stood out like a sore thumb, making her furrow her eyebrows but make no other movements.]

...E-vent?

[Action] viiinote February 1 2011, 07:39:16 UTC

[Xion's flailing doesn't go unnoticed, but Axel only tilts his head at her, confused, before he turns back to Namine to answer her.]

What, you don't know?

[Action] seasaltblues February 1 2011, 07:50:25 UTC

[H-He didn't- but that just meant-]

-W-We'll talk about it more later when y-you're feeling better, Naminé. Right, Axel?

[So much for being subtle. But this was something... Mm... She didn't need to know right now. And Xion further seemed to emphasize this by grabbing the clothes he had brought just a moment ago.]

H-Here, you've gotta be pretty cold. We've got some extra clothes for you- I-I'll just be putting them over your dress though. You can change when you're feeling up to it- M-Maybe Xion will help you later. [Hint, hint, Axel.]

[Action] rewritethesky February 1 2011, 17:21:55 UTC

[It was another one of those 'something's off' feelings. Sora... was he covering something up? She doesn't recall him ever sounding so nervous before. But, eh, maybe it's the migraine playing tricks on her.

Still, she can't just leave it alone, even in the state she was in.] What... happened?

[Action] viiinote February 2 2011, 01:21:23 UTC

[hfdjaslhfaskjfhl why does my baby have a migraine.

Right away Axel knows that Xion's plan is pretty much going to fail, so he doesn't bother to move an inch. It seems like Namine isn't buying it either, so after crossing his arms with a sigh he turns to look at Xion. Nothing needs to be said here.]

[Action] seasaltblues February 2 2011, 04:59:51 UTC

[If the inquiry from Naminé wasn't enough of a hint that Xion pretty much had long since pulled the rug out from under herself on this one, it was Axel looking at her as he was that was the final nail in the coffin. She looked away- not wanting to see how he stood there plainly by body language alone telling her she was up the creek without a paddle.

For a moment, she was just.... quiet. But then. His voice drawing out with unease.] Temper and his friend decided to do something to us again. No one's been hurt, but... [She was curling a hand to her chest. Does she have to say it? Don't make her say it.]

[Action] rewritethesky February 2 2011, 05:36:39 UTC

[Because memories are the bane of all existence, just like Nomura >: They hurt mom, they really do.

The silence wasn't unbearable, but without anyone saying anything and Naminé not knowing, it caused a bit of a rising panic in the girl. She tries to brush it off and keep her eyes closed with the hope that sleep would come and that she could escape this conversation. But instead, like before, the details, the important ones, stuck out when Sora finally spoke. And for a brief moment, her breath was lost on her.

It was them again? maybe they were the ones who threw her into the catacombs, but... no, Axel and Sora seemed and sounded okay. So maybe it was just her that got tossed in there, and something else happened.]

...But?

[Action] viiinote February 2 2011, 07:14:14 UTC

[Mommy will hold you to his bosom later. B|

Axel shuts his eyes in the meantime and just listens in on the conversation until Xion suddenly trails off. Hmph. Looks like he'll have to finish it for her.]

People have been switching bodies all around the city.

[Action] seasaltblues February 3 2011, 02:29:19 UTC

[Xion looked off to the side as Axel finished her statement. She was torn between being frustrated with him, being ashamed of being caught redhanded, and then... just being plain worried over how Naminé would take things when she realized there was an example of what all was happening standing in the same room as her right then. Couldn't she have just slept right then? Why did Axel have to bring that up now of all times? Sure, she deserved to know eventually. But in the state she was in.

Clenching her hands tight. Through slightly gritted teeth.]

But we're going to find a way to get everyone back to their original ones. So, just worry about yourself right now.

[Action] rewritethesky February 3 2011, 06:25:55 UTC

[Switching... bodies? The regressing in age and size and Axel's own affliction then had been jarring enough, but to actually change a person like that was just... she couldn't think straight on it. But there was some thought that practically drew a knife through the haze ( ... )

[Action] viiinote February 3 2011, 06:57:27 UTC

[Just looks at Xion, not caring about the hate he's probably gonna get for it.]

[Action] seasaltblues February 3 2011, 07:12:51 UTC

[That question. It made her tense. She had been hoping for her to ask who all got switched. Or maybe if ask if it was anyone they knew. But nothing... Nothing like that. In retrospect, it made sense. It was something... especially after the possessions, Xion could see why she would ask. But it didn't make things any easier.

She didn't even have to look to know that Axel was focused on her. Waiting for her to say something. To address things like she knew she should. Although it was really skewed thinking what would have been worse. Him telling her or Xion, herself. Finally though, her hands- his hands white-knuckled from how she clenched them. Still not looking at them.]

...Xion.
