[ Well, look there. Someone dying? Fading into darkness? No, not quite. There's a replica of all things lying in the hall, wisps of darkness rising off of it. Given the skin-tight suit, it's easy enough to realize that this one's female, slender and muscled and apparently uninjured.

It takes her several moments, but she eventually sits up and rests an arm across one knee, just as the last remnants of darkness start to fade out. Now where is she? ]

[Was just watching you at first, trying to decide if you were okay or not. Plus, the Riku from her world was a guy. So this is kinda weird for her.]

U-um...Are you o-okay?

[benighting.livejournal.com]

[slowly looks up at her, then freezes, eyes wide.]

[iwont-runaway.livejournal.com]

[Kind of shrinks back a little at that look. She's a very timid Namine.]

...Um...

[benighting.livejournal.com]

[immediately she's holding up a hand, trying to get her to stop. after a second thought, she stands up, but her eyes are still on Namine.]

Na...mi?

[iwont-runaway.livejournal.com]

[Blinks.]

Um...It's, Namine.

[Still seems a bit shy.]

[benighting.livejournal.com]

[stays where she is, curling and uncurling her gloved fingers. her voice is quiet; she's completely at a loss for what to do.]

Who are you?

[iwont-runaway.livejournal.com]

...Namine Hyuga...You're...Riku, right?

[Notice her lavender-white pupil-less eyes now please. Although, most people seem to think she's blind when they notice that.]

[He was wondering where that noticeable smell of darkness was coming from. He seems pretty uninterested now that he's found the source though, just watching with a blank look.]

[benighting.livejournal.com]

[she notices him pretty quickly, lifting her eyes up and staring back with the same blank expression. then her eyes narrow dangerously and she jumps up, taking on a stance that says she's ready to fight.]

[sprayofsea.livejournal.com]

[Sighs and shakes his head with a calm expression.]

Don't bother.

[Closer inspection will reveal that he seems to have certain smell of the ocean about him, not to mention the rather obvious differences between a female replica and him.]

[benighting.livejournal.com]

I'm not stupid.

[but she is slightly bitter. she hasn't summoned her weapon yet, at least; it was instinct. the presence of him was what bothered her. but now she's noticing those obvious differences.]

What--

[how does she even put her current mental crash into words?]

[sprayofsea.livejournal.com]

[Sighs and shakes his head, muttering something about 'new arrivals' under his breath.]

I'm going to go ahead and assume you just came from Castle Oblivion. In any case, you're not going back.

I must sleep, but I'll continue this later!

[benighting.livejournal.com]

Where else would I be coming from?

[not appreciating his attitude at all. what does that even have to do with--]

And why are you male?

[seasides]

[...oh, huh. another one. steps over to her with a slight cautiousness, a book tucked under his arm.]

You alright?

[benighting.livejournal.com]

[that caution is likely for the best - there's something particularly edgy about her when she looks up, like a wild animal.]

Who are you?

[seasides]

[smiles gently, hoping to show that he's not a danger.]

My name's Kai.

[benighting.livejournal.com]

[pulls herself up to her feet, keeping her eyes on him.]

Where am I?

[seasides]

This place is called the dressing room. It's an interdimensional crossroads; there are hundreds of people here, and a lot of them look alike.

[benighting.livejournal.com]

[stares at him blankly.]

How does something like that exist?

hhhhhh 8|

['sup, rep. there's a Nami passing by, looking like he's not fully awake yet.]

hee~

[benighting.livejournal.com]

[when she catches sight of him her jaw drops, and she's scrambling to get up before she even realizes it.]

Nami?

[antimnemonic.livejournal.com]

[stops, looking over]

...Riku?

[he can tell she's a replica, but...]

[benighting.livejournal.com]

[opens her mouth to say something, then shuts it, the excitement starting to fade.]

I'm not Riku.

[antimnemonic.livejournal.com]

[why do you do that?]

I know. ...sorry.

[benighting.livejournal.com]

[break her heart again why don't you?]

No, it's okay.
