[Huddled up at the golden entrance-way, a hooded girl is clutching the seal in her hands. Unsure how exactly it works, or exactly what it is, it's taken her a little while to transmit her message and location through it.]

I'm not...sure what happened. Is this...Sora?

...It can't be. It doesn't make any sense...

[She holds the seal close to her face,

[Without looking at the seal he replies]

Why would you think this is Sora?

[When he DOES look at the seal he stares at the hooded girl for a moment. His head feels funny and he can't explain why. He knows that outfit, that part isn't mysterious...what is mysterious is that he feels like his head is about to explode and he is pretty sure he should know who is under the hood.]

Why...are you wearing that outfit? Are you...part of the Organization?

[Roxas!? She's very suddenly, very quickly filled with elation, but the longer she listens, the more it turns into worry, despair, and hurt. She knew he wouldn't remember her but...Having to see it...]

I...[No idea what to say. No idea how to talk to him now. She just wants to pull up her hood, run away. Hide where he can't find her.
It's too hard.]

...It's complicated...

[His head is really pounding now but he's trying to ignore it.]

Oh...are you...gonna be okay?

Don't be upset. This place isn't so bad once you get used to it.

[seasalt_sunset]

Yeah...I think so. Thanks...Roxas...
I'll...I-I'll...say hi again a little later...okay?

[Riku halts when he hears her voice; memories that had half faded away ever since her disappearance, settling back into place.]

Xion!

[He has never forgotten her, thankfully, but it is so hard to keep a grip on memories when in some way they aren't supposed to exist in first place. He is glad that she is back; that she's okay, even if it doesn't seem like she doesn't remember the last time she had been here.]

Has anyone filled you in yet?

Re: [Voice]

[seasalt_sunset]

R-Riku...You...You...[A trembling hand settles over her heart, and a long exhale can be heard.] Remember...[Taking a moment to bask in the feeling that wouldn't have to face Riku as well without him knowing her. Her next response comes a moment later.]

Yeah...I've got a handle on everything...I think...

[Voice]

[justabignobody]

Yeah... People get pulled here from different points of the time line. I arrived just before...

[...the memories had a chance to disappear for good. he doesn't say, because once gone it was unlikely that he would ever regain them. He is not sure if Xion is aware of that though, and if she isn't then it's probably better that way.

Riku frowns a little at her reply; she sounds quite uncertain - like she could really use the help and presence of a friend. He is more than happy to offer both.]

Are you still at the entrance way? The place you first arrived at?

[Voice]

[seasalt_sunset]

Umm, no. [Her words are spaced out with bouts of silence. Something about talking to Riku, even though it hadn't been so long, was...relieving. Breathtakingly so.]

I...moved on. To the place marked on my key.
