[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)

Axel?

[Yes, it is. Riku's frowning, but for entirely different reasons.]

Yeah, how'd you know?

[he's also weirded out by the short hair, but the ring is more important.]

[Blows some of her own hair out of her face, looking down.]

Long story. Are you sure that's where you were?

I'm positive.

[he definitely looks like he's certain, though a little weirded out.]

Do you know what's going on, Riku?

... I think I might. Come on.

[Stands up, holding a hand out for him.]

[takes it without hesitation, despite the fact that this is an unfamiliar place and he hasn't seen Riku in what feels like forever, because. well, Riku. c:]

Okay.

[Half-smiles when she pulls him up, glancing down the hall and then stepping out of his way.]

Tell me if any of this looks familiar, alright?

[nods slightly, frowning in one direction, and then the other. nothing familiar so far. :c]

[Gestures for him to follow her, slowly starting in the direction of the main room.]

[follows after her closely, feeling nervous about being somewhere new without any of the people he's been with for nearly two years. not that he doesn't trust Riku or anything, it's just really sudden.]

[She could understand that. She's not trying to put any space between them, either, feeling pretty protective right about now. Once they're well into the room and on their way to the kitchen-]

Anything?

Nothing, sorry.

[bows his head a little.]

Not your fault.

[Shakes her head - she won't say it's alright, because it's not, but it's not like he's doing it on purpose. Leads him into the kitchen so they can sit down.]

[looks around the kitchen, hoping something will seem familiar. but nothing does and he sits down, sighing.]

[Good, sit. She's just gonna pace around for a bit.]

Okay...

[lets his head thump against the table.]

I want to go home.

[Stops pacing to lean against the counter, arms crossed.]

... I know you don't remember any of this, but you've been here... a long time.

[looks back up at her.]

How long?

... A while. But I don't think it's you, exactly.

[How to put this...]

[headtilt.]

I don't get it.

I think you're... In a way, you're a Kai, in the body of a different Kai. One that I know, that has his memories and yours.

[Frowns down at the floor. She's call bodyswap, but he doesn't feel any different. He'd feel different if that were the case, right?]

Only the wrong set's taken over.

So I'm... not really here, I just think I'm here because the person who owns this body has my memories along with his own?

[bzuh.]

[Scratches the back of her head.]

Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe you swapped bodies completely. I wouldn't be surprised, with how much this place does to you.

At least if he's got my memories he won't freak out about waking up on a spaceship, if that's really the case.

[looks curious though.]

This place does a lot of stuff to him?

[Breathes out a laugh that's more frustration than humor.]

A lot.
