[in a hallway just off the main area, Kai seems to have fallen. one hand is against the wall, nails almost digging into it. his other hand is pressed against his forehead, and he's curled over himself on his knees. his face isn't very visible, but he looks pained and like he's concentrating on something, eyes squeezed shut and teeth gritted.]

(ooc: Meditation didn't settle completely, he's trying to sort his memories. Go ahead and startle him, and prepare for massive amounts of confusion. 8D)

[shakes his head a little, taking in Axel's scars in confusion.]

When did those happen...?

[takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, carefully wording what to say before he says it.]

Kai... this is the dressing room. It's a crossroads, like the Room was, but with a lot more doubles and weird versions of people, and a lot bigger. You've been here for about a year and a half, and I showed up here almost a year ago. There was, or is, a physical manifestation of the Voice, here in the DR, and it linked you and the version of you that was still in the Room and is now on the ship, so that you've been getting all of his memories. I know all about the ship and what's happened to everyone there, because you've told me about it. [though the rings hadn't been mentioned. :< ] You had gone to meditate today like you usually do to straighten the memories out, and I'm guessing they got mixed up somewhere, which is why you're confused.

But... what? How-

[this is so confusing. and making his head hurt.]

That explains... why I don't have my ring... or Ammy's necklace.

[nods, looking sad.]

Yes, love. You haven't even swapped places physically, you've just latched onto his memories for now. And I don't know what to do to help you, apart from waiting it out. We could go see if anything around the DR jogs your memory, I guess.

That's... that's probably a good idea.

[swallows, brows furrowing. the idea of... all of this is really, really unsettling.]

[gets to his feet again, offering a hand to help Kai up.]

We can go back to our room first. That's as good a place as any to start.

O...okay.

[takes his hand, feeling rather uncomfortable without his necklace or ring.]

[leans over to scoop the bunny up under his arm, and then leads the way down the hall.]

So tell me about this ring you mentioned.

Um...

[a little embarrassed about it, since this Axel clearly doesn't know about it.]

When you went down to help Sora on your guys' world, you picked up some rings... I didn't find out about them until you were in the hospital and slipped mine on me while I was sleeping.

That sounds awfully inspired of me. You're sure it was me and not my evil twin?

[grins at him, teasing.]

[grins a little in return, though he ducks his head.]

Positive.

[derp room get; they weren't that far from it. disarms the traps and opens the door.]

I might have to steal that idea, then. There has to be somewhere around here where I could find that sort of thing.

[sets Apricot down inside the door, nudging him with a foot to get him to go in.]

I'm sure he'd like it.

[peeks into the room curiously.]

[has to think about this, then, along with _______ that he's been considering for a while now. C: leads him into their slightly messy room, with the hyena backpack hanging from a lamp, Axel's chakrams resting against the side of the desk, clothes scattered everywhere, lube sitting out on the bedside table, etc. looks at him hopefully.]

[he just looks around the room. it's a nice room to be sure, but it's not familiar, which would be why he's giving Axel a helpless look.]

[slumps a little, but smiles at him.]

Hey, don't worry, we'll figure something out. Even if that something ends up being just waiting it out, at least you're safe here. D'you want to go somewhere else now, orrr...?

I know we will. And I think I'd rather stay here for now...

[omg is it cuddle time.]

Works for me.

[scoops Apricot up again and goes to settle on the bed, settling the bunny down on the covers.]

[it definitely could be cuddle time. he certainly looks like he could do with some cuddles. heads over to the bed as well, still looking around.]

[ \o/!!! pushes the covers down with his feet and settles on his back, sprawling all over the place with a contented sigh. reaches over to tug on Kai's sleeve to get him to settle as well. c: ]

[settles down with a faint sigh, trying not to let things get to him too much.]

[puts an arm around him and snuggles him close.]

Don't worry about it, babe. Chances are, since this is just a memory mixup and not an actual body swap or whatever, the Kai on the ship isn't even affected by this. Which... doesn't actually help you, but it'll be reassuring to you later once you sort things out.

[ >>;;; I'M TRYING TO HELP, HONEST.]

[snorts and presses his face against him.]

I see you're just as good at helping as the Axel back on the ship.

What's that supposed to mean, huh?

[turns the arm around his shoulders into a HEADLOCK + NOOGIE]

What does it sound li- hey!

[flails augh.]
