It's a new kid, just a little lost and confused

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

[A familiar figure races into the dressing room—a boy who's not at all familiar with this place. He doesn't know where he's arrived, or even where he's going. He just knows that he already left one friend behind, and he's got to do something before the memory of another friend slips away for good. Despite having no heart, the look in his eyes makes him seem older than his 357 days.

After a few moments, he falters and looks around. This isn't where he meant to be.]

What the—

What world is this?

It's called the dressing room.

[Roxas would you like that cookie this gal is holding out to you? she's already munching on one of her own.]

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

It's what?

[Spin around and staaaare because man, she looks kind of familiar to him. He would very much enjoy a cookie but alas, is not in the state of mind to share baked goods with strangers.]

[skybright]

[well, she won't eat it, in case he wants it later.]

The dressing room. It's like... a crossroads. It's got a bunch of people from different worlds, and even different dimensions and stuff.

[Gosh, that's so nice. Too bad this kid here is social fail.]

I've gone to different worlds before, but I've never seen anything like this. Who are you?

[skybright]

[aw, she doesn't mind.]

My name's Sora. And yeah, most of us, when we show up here, we've never seen anything like it.

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

You're Sora? The one they kept talking about?

...I thought you were a boy.

[skybright]

Well, the me in your dimension's male, probably. Since you are.

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

[They did say he was connected to Sora...but now he's imagining himself as a girl and going cross-eyed, so let's skip that.]

The me in my dimension. You're saying there are others? I never saw duplicates like that in the worlds I visited for the Organization.

[stares. He should be used to doubles after a couple months here, but it's still too weird.]

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

[stares. He's definitely not used to this.]

Um.

[thirteenthshell.livejournal.com]

Umm. Hi?

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Hi.

You're, uh...me.

[thirteenthshell.livejournal.com]

... Yep.

[Awkward.]

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

[Like two peas in a fail pod.]

That girl said there were doubles here, but I never thought I'd see another me. Stupid, huh?

[thirteenthshell.livejournal.com]

I've seen a couple, but this is the first time I've talked to another me.

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

So are we...exactly the same? How did you get here?

[unluckyladyxiii.livejournal.com]

[And this is when she meets a male version of herself.]

...

[Stare.]

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

[Stare stare. He's getting good at this.]

Wow. Another one of m--

Wait, are you a girl, too?

[unluckyladyxiii.livejournal.com]

"Too?" But, yeah, I'm a girl. And you're a boy!

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

I met a girl Sora earlier, but they always told me Sora was a boy, before.

I've always been a boy.

[unluckyladyxiii.livejournal.com]

So...ra?

[She hasn't been that far into her days in the Organization to know who that is.]

Oh... well I've always been a girl.

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Oh. That's good. I guess.

[This is really weird. But maybe not that weird. It's just him, but a girl, right? What would Axel think of this?]

Are you with the Organization, too?

[unluckyladyxiii.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah... I haven't been with them very long, though. Only about 71 days or so. I've... been counting.

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

I did that too.

[For a second, he wants to tell her to get out while she can; to not trust Saix or Xemnas.

But if he'd left that early, he'd have lost all that time with Axel and Xion. Would it be worth it? He really didn't know.]

Just be careful.
