something that I've locked away

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

 [there's someone standing in the middle of a busy hallway, staring at the wall. he's been in that position for quite a while now,  without blinking and just barely breathing. his fingers are moving frantically, dancing around each other, his hands drawn up to his chest rather like a squirrel eating. except for his hands he's immobile like a statue and he doesn't seem to have noticed that he's not where he was before. or rather, he is exactly where he was before, but he's not when he was anymore.]

[remember this guy?]

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

[doesn't even notice him. he stills completely, though. a small part of him is aware that something has shifted.]

[pugnacitas.livejournal.com]

... You okay?

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

[tick... tick... it takes him a while to realize someone's talking to him and even longer to focus his gaze on the speaker. okay, he's aware of you. now what?]

[pugnacitas.livejournal.com]

Responding is generally a good thing.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Well he's attracted the attention of a rather worried Namine. In fact...He might even recognize her...]

Umm, are you okay?

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

While a response is expected in according to social etiquette it is quite unnecessary when the responding person has nothing to say.

[he takes a careful step, noticing something very strangescary about their surroundings. it's bright again. bright and fresh and either he moved while he wasn't paying attention or everything else did.]

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

[still staring at that wall. give him a minute or so to snap out of it.
his frantic movements slow down before stopping completely, and then he turns his head to look at her.
no reaction.]

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[She tilts her head at him. Deja vu why?]

Are you okay?

[Maybe it's cause she's repeating herself?]

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

[oh, there were signs of how he might end up much, much earlier. he blinks slowly and takes a step back. he's not realizing he's in the past yet, and absentmindedly curls his fingers around his necklace.]

I am as I am. How are you?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[Speaking of people who are spacing out, here comes... he needs an appropriate nickname. Either way, he nearly walks into Roxas before steering away with an apologetic look.]

-Sorry.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[She glances at the necklace, but cant see it properly cause he's holding it. Blinks back.]

Um, I'm good, thankyou.

[More head tilt.]

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

[to the casual observer, it doesn't even seem like he notices anything. but someone a bit more perceptive should notice how he's completely unmoving now. there's no other change in his demeanor.]

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

[lets go of it since she's not a threat to it and glances around, trying to decide which way to go. if only he could remember which way he came from before zoning out.]

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[Blinks.]

...Where did you get that?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[He studies people too much not to notice that. Which makes him more nervous.]

Look, I'm sorry, okay? I should have been paying more attention.

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

I have always had it because when I didn't have it I wasn't me and before I had it I was another. There's no location to find what has always been.

[...looks at her, feeling like she's more than just a Namine, but then again... his hopes of ever being right about something like that disappeared a long time ago.]

Fare well or stay well. Whichever you prefer.

[is walking away now, but not very fast.]

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

[focuses his gaze on Riku and... oh. he knows you. doesn't he. but something's different...]

Hello.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[....Huh? Wait, he's leaving? Hurries to catch up with him.]

Did someone give it to you?

[sunsettingly.livejournal.com]

[His hair may very well be streaked a different color in the future.]

...Uh, hi. New arrival?

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

[stops.]

Someone gave it to someone else who might or might not have changed.

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

I suppose we are all new in some way or another, even if every day seems exactly the same and the same and the same.

[good luck getting a clear answer out of him.]

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

[He's starting to confuse her now. Still, that's the necklace she made. She's sure of it...]

Was it a Namine?

[Remember her determined look?]

[tatteredreplica.livejournal.com]

[he's given up on her ever returning and while he remembers her clearly he knows he's insane. he's probably just imagining things.]

It wasn't a Namine. It was the Namine.

[saphire-wave.livejournal.com]

The Namine?

[...It couldn't be...Could it?]
