[All's quiet in the dressing room, that is, until a dark corridor opens up, and out of it tumbles a Zexion of some sort, face down on the floor. He's still for a moment, but when he pushes himself up he a) reaches for a potion, and b) immediately looks around.

... only to stop, a wary expression on his face.

One may notice the odd pair of glasses not often worn by his doubles. He still has the black cloak of the Organization, but to conceal his scent, not as a member of its ranks.

But still, how...familiar.]

[ooc: I have no shame. Curse you, enablers.]

[there's a Kairi sitting on a couch nearby, knees pulled up to her chest, sipping some kind of soda as she fiddles around on a Nintendo DS.]

[miragelexicon.livejournal.com]

[...

It's all starting to sink in. After a moment, he slowly approaches.]

I forgot to say that you're mean. :|

[willnotbuffyou.livejournal.com]

[doesn't look like she even notices, setting the soda down beside her to focus on the game.]

you know you love it

[miragelexicon.livejournal.com]

[Hmm...]

Kairi.

nooo :<

[willnotbuffyou.livejournal.com]

[looks up after a second (forgive her, she's distracted), and pauses when she sees him. she lowers her DS a little, slightly wary, but smiles to be polite.]

Me?

do not deny what is clear, miss Kewie 8|

[miragelexicon.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[She doesn't seem surprised. Odd, but considering the nature of the place... Aw well, continues to approach. He looks calm, but not as eerie as other Zexions, at least. And the glasses... what a familiar pair.]

*sadface forever* :<

[willnotbuffyou.livejournal.com]

[she's more wary, really, knowing Zexions enough. this is the first time she's seen one wearing glasses, though. that part is strange.]

Can I help you with something?

[miragelexicon.livejournal.com]

[Pauses for a moment, then.]

No, I suppose not. I'm well acquainted with this world, after all.

[She has every right to be wary. While not as manipulating as a canon Zex, he still isn't near as sweet as dorkzo]}

My apologies for the unfortunate interruption.

[willnotbuffyou.livejournal.com]

[doesn't really relax, but she does give a more honest smile.]

Oh. Are you looking for a certain Kairi?

[miragelexicon.livejournal.com]

Perhaps so, but if that were the case, then I have already succeeded.

[willnotbuffyou.livejournal.com]

[pauses again, a slight frown forming.]

What do you mean?

[miragelexicon.livejournal.com]

Hm. Tell me, Kairi. Does tripping in the garden seem familiar to you?

[willnotbuffyou.livejournal.com]

[that would be where her eyes widen, and she sets the DS aside immediately.]

What?

[miragelexicon.livejournal.com]

Or perhaps... an incident involving drugged cookies during a masquerade ball?

[willnotbuffyou.livejournal.com]

[...stands up.]

Ienzo?

[miragelexicon.livejournal.com]

At some point or another, perhaps.

[a sigh. He can't really feel remorse, but he knows what it was like.]

But that was a long time ago, nearly a decade.

[willnotbuffyou.livejournal.com]

What? Are you-- What happened?

[steps closer, looking worried.]

[miragelexicon.livejournal.com]

To put it bluntly, I left. Radiant Garden had already fallen in my absence, and I was completely helpless. This is the result.

[remains where he is, but there may be a faint frown on his face]

Then again, he may still be fortunate. This world is notorious for its... 'possibilities', I suppose, however deplorable they may be.

[willnotbuffyou.livejournal.com]

[she hadn't though of that possibility, and Kairi's really not sure what to think, if that's the case.]

I'm sorry.

[miragelexicon.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head]

You needn't apologize. It wasn't your fault... if anything, perhaps I should apologize.

I would never willingly have left.

[willnotbuffyou.livejournal.com]

Why would you need to apologize? You--

[bites her lip, rubbing her arm distractedly.]

[miragelexicon.livejournal.com]

I'm apologizing for the mere fact that I left to begin with.

[willnotbuffyou.livejournal.com]

You said it yourself. You didn't have a choice.

[miragelexicon.livejournal.com]

Whether the act was intentional or not, for both your sake and his let us hope that no such thing occurs.

Nine years is an awful long time, especially without a heart. I suppose that, to that end, I can see how so many of my duplicates have changed significantly. It's rather ironic, really.

[willnotbuffyou.livejournal.com]

[frowns. this is hard to believe.]

Do you think... maybe this place can help you? Anything?
