[A brand new Namine seems to have gotten herself a little tiny bit lost. Not that she's actually got anywhere specific to go. She's passed by enough people now that she's noticed a certain... quirk, but she's still a bit wide-eyed. This Namine seems to be perfectly normal, as far as Namines go.]

[Anyone passing by will find her standing against the wall, looking a bit perplexed but not entirely out of sorts.]

[...This was definitely not Kansas Kairi's heart.]


(( Hello, helloooo. I'm new. :o This Namine is a fairly normal Post-KH II Namine. Details in profile. ))

[Well here, have your average 18 year old Roxas, walking by in an unzipped organization coat and casual clothes underneath. He doesn't seem to be paying much attention as usual.]

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

[She's trying not to stare. Really.]

[...Too bad that's not really working for her. She's seen multiples, but she hasn't seen a Roxas quite that age yet.]

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[Well, he can feel someone staring, so he stops to look.]

...What?

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

[She blinks, automatically trying to step back -- only oh hi there's a wall there.]

...Nothing?

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't usually terrify passersby, so her reaction's a bit confusing.]

You sure?

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

[She's a little on edge, mostly because she just merged with Kairi and she was supposed to be there, and now all of a sudden she's not. And there are way too many familiar faces here and they're freaking her out and then his face and--]

[Breathe. Caaaaalm. ...She's just a little jumpy.]

[She nods, but her eyes are still very round. She's curious, but she's not sure she should go around asking questions.]

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[He can take a wild guess as to why she's reacting that way.]

Let me guess. New arrival?

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

[New arrival? ...Well, yes, she supposed she was. He seemed to think it was normal, at least.]

[...Where was she?]

[She hesitates for a moment, and then nods.]

[illumifated.livejournal.com]

[He sighs and sticks his hands in his jean pockets.]

No need to be all freaked out. It's confusing at first, but you get used to it.

It's a dimensional crossroads. Meaning we get people from all different times and places, and they all have the same names and faces.

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

You seem a bit lost.

[said the Riku hovering up in the corner of the ceiling, apparently just hanging out watching people go by. ever seen a vampire, Namine?]

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

[She knows she's heard a voice, but she's not quite sure where it's coming from. She looks left, then right... then up.]

[...Oh.]

[Have a staring Namine.]

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[in a blink, he's standing right next to you, leaning in slightly. he's very pale, and when he talks she might see a hint of his fangs]

I take it this isn't where you meant to end up.

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

[At first she was just curious and a little startled, but now she's very startled and a little curious. She lets out a little gasp, and her back presses against the wall, along with one of her hands, while the other crushes itself over her heart where her heart would be. A moment later, she edges away from the wall, turning more towards him and automatically leaning backwards about as much as he's leaning forwards. She's obviously uncomfortable with the proximity... and the fact that he should not have been able to get there that quickly.]

[Riku was fast, but not that fast. And not that pale. And his teeth were never.... Well, there's definitely something wrong with this one. Still, he is Rik-- 'a' Riku. And she's not going to blow him off that easily... misgivings or not. There's a word she's looking for, and she knows that it's lurking somewhere in the back of her mind, but she just can't place it.]

[After a moment's pause, she just shakes her head 'no', but her eyes don't leave him.]

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[backs up a bit, grinning suddenly]

Relax, I'm not really going to bite you or anything. Ri would probably swat me with a newspaper or something if I tried.

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

[His grin makes her own expression turn into a slightly confused eyebrow raise. Did this Riku have... what was it? Bipolar? ...But, then, Riku always was a bit strange.]

[She doesn't quite get the biting comment, and takes it as one of those jokes people make. She wonders about the 'Ri', but is not entirely comfortable asking. So, she just says,]

...Oh. Um, good?

[Blinking, oblivious Nami-chan time.]

[boy-of-twilight.livejournal.com]

[nah, he just gets a kick out of spooking people sometimes, and you were an easy target.]

Anyway, wherever you thought you were going, this isn't it. This is the Dressing Room, a place that pulls people in at random. So you'll probably see a lot of people that look like the ones you know, but they aren't really from your world.

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

[She seems to be considering this for a moment, until,]

...Okay.

[...As if she's not that surprised at all.]

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

Namine?

[Repliku has been pinged! He'll be approaching now.]

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

[She blinks, looking arou-- oh, a Riku. By now she's gotten the rundown, but she's not explecting a Repliku... so she just assumes it's another Riku, and smiles a blank, awkward smile, trying to ignore this sneaking feeling in the back of her mind that there's something different about this one. She's not sure what to say, so she just lets out a,]

Yes...?

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

You okay? You look kind of... lost.

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

O-oh.

I'm, um -- new. But I'm okay?

[That feeling just won't leave her alone. She's staring perhaps a bit too hard, and she tilts her head to the side, a little frown settling on her lips.]

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

If you say so, Namine.

[...the staring is odd, but he doesn't seem too bothered, instead approaching.]

Did anyone explain things yet?

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

[Good, because it's not stopping.]

...Oh, yes. Yes, I... get the idea.

[fauxpromise.livejournal.com]

[nods, even if he's still weirded out by the staring. His Namine complex is nagging at him right about now.]

Good to know. And what about a room? The hall's no place to stay, especially with Marluxias around.

[chainthestars.livejournal.com]

Yes, I--

[...Wait. Marluxias? Something isn't right about that. Riku had never met -- unless it was just a world thing. But that nagging at the back of her mind just won't leave her alone, and now she finally has an idea what it's about. She suddenly pales.]

...Riku?
