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.

[skybright]

Well, it's like... you've got a bunch of worlds, right? And say they're on... I dunno, one side of a wall. And then you've got a bunch of the same worlds on the other side of the wall, and there are a whole bunch of walls, and one of each person in between each of them.

[...she is bad at explaining.]

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

So this place is like...a castle with all the walls knocked down?

[...well, he's bad at understanding, so.]

[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.]

[unluckyladyxiii.livejournal.com]

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

...

[Stare.]

[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?

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

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

Wow. Another one of m--

Wait, are you a girl, too?

[skybright]

I dunno, that would kind of mean all the worlds were here. But it's more like some giant person is grabbing people from all the different sections and putting them in an entirely different one, even though lots of them look the same.

[thirteenthshell.livejournal.com]

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

[unluckyladyxiii.livejournal.com]

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

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Do you think the Organization has anything to do with it?

[It's weird to be asking this strange girl he's never met before about it, considering Roxas was one of them...but he's not sure what else to think.]

I know they didn't tell me everything when I was one of them.

[pullsheavendown.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

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

[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.
