In this life

[Oh look, the DR has brought in another Kairi. Never seems to be sick of them, huh? Just ignore her there, lying asleep on the floor-

-wait, this is different. She's wearing grey leggings, tunic and boots, all about three sizes too big. There's a tiny ball of fur on her shoulder, and a black bird standing next to her. As soon as she arrives, the black bird gives a cry, and she wakes up, drawing a dagger and sitting up quickly. She looks around with wide, staring eyes.]

...Riku? Sora?

(ooc: Oh gosh why do I keep crossing over to my other fandoms :/ Anyone here read the books/seen the anime 'Deltora Quest'? She's Jasmine. Partial cast list in profile. Please excuse the fail while I try and get her right. Also this is just after they get the ruby, so not a lot's happened.)

...Sleeping on the floor?

[speakstonature.livejournal.com]

[Well that's not weird at all. Excuse her staring.]

Riku! What has happened?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Uh, nothing. Are you a new arrival?

[speakstonature.livejournal.com]

[The black bird is eyeing you, Riku.]

New? What are you talking about? Have we been captured? [Looking around at all the walls a little uncomfortably.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

I'm not the Riku you're thinking of. And you're not wherever you were before.

[speakstonature.livejournal.com]

Not... Riku? Then... who are you? Where am I? [So totally confused.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Not your Riku. You're in the dressing room, a dimensional crossroads.

[speakstonature.livejournal.com]

Crossroads?

You're not making any sense. [Have a ):< face, Riku.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Everyone in this place is made up of copies of the same people. They're different versions of the same people though, all from different times and places.

[speakstonature.livejournal.com]

...How is that even possible? [And we're back to confused.]

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

I've never really figured it out. Sometimes you just have to accept things for the way they are.

Lol I need more icons DX

[speakstonature.livejournal.com]

I... you're right. So... do you not know of Deltora?

aw, I like yours <3

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

Never heard of it. Is that where you're from?

[there's a half-naked Sora wearing only loose pajama pants and holding a cup of water walking by. He pauses when he hears his name and turns.]

Though I'm not who you ask for,
I'll help if I can.
Please put that away,
O, Kairi of land.

uhgjeradsdgtrfdnjsdhcrf someone else who's heard of it :D

[speakstonature.livejournal.com]

[Sora... singing. Give her a moment to process that.]

Sora? Are you feeling well?

I haven't read it in foreeeever but that used to be one of my favourites.

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Right. Excuse him while he makes faces and tries to get his voice down to just sing-song. He gives up and decides it's easier with song. Too many words.]

I'm feeling just fine, really I am!
There's no need to worry, O, Kairi of land -
Though you might as well know this is not where you were
and you'll see many things, it's really a blur.

I'm not your Sora for instance,
and this is my unique curse -
As long as I've legs then voice I have not,
unless to sing you a song.

It's my third fav fantasy series after Narnia and Potter

[speakstonature.livejournal.com]

[She's not all that used to rhymes, so she's sitting there thinking to make sure she understands.]

You are... cursed when you have legs? What else could you have? [That ball of fur in her hair is peeping out at you curiously.]

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[takes a gulp of water and thinks about that. Concentrates before saying something in a lilting voice.]

I'm merfolk. [notices the little ball of fur and looks at it curiously for a moment before continuing.] I have fins.

[speakstonature.livejournal.com]

Fins? Like a fish? [She's trying to picture that and is failing.]

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[This is the sort of things that's easier explained with visuals. He takes a sip of water and looks around for a bathroom.]

You could say that, I guess,
though much more like a shark.

I lived under the sea before coming here
and if I found water I'd show you, my dear.

[speakstonature.livejournal.com]

That would be interesting to see. And I'd much rather go somewhere outside, if we could. [Doesn't like all these walls and roofs and weird things like that.]

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[his eyes light up but at the same time that's an uh-oh. A big one.]

See here's the thing, if no one's said,
the only way to leave is be dead.
There are places though, you might like to see,
gardens and such - or maybe the beach.

Though they are inside they hide
the fact that you're not home.

[speakstonature.livejournal.com]

A... beach? I've heard of that...

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[takes that as a sign you want to go there and holds out his hand.]

Well if you'd like to see one,
I'll be happy to lead!
So just take my hand and follow me~

[speakstonature.livejournal.com]

Oh! Very well then, thank you. [Smiles and takes his hand, standing up and putting her dagger away. The furball starts chittering excitedly.]

This is Filli, and this is Kree. [Kree lands on her other shoulder.]
