(no subject)

[So, a Xehanort walks into a dressing room...
Well, through a door into a main room. He's not wearing the typical apprentice gear that'd be associated with one his age: more practical clothes that'd suit a keybearer, and he's carrying a long dark metal 'blade. Very much in shape, too. He clearly hasn't been hanging out in laboratories alone.

The key gets put away, and he gives a brief glance around.]

Hm. Not what I was expecting...

((Okay. This particular 'nort's username is not for nothing. His icons are swimming in BBS spoilers, and this thread will likely be too, text and icon. So: be careful.))

Huh?

[Is that...?

Yep. Say hello to confused!Ventus.]

[...Well. Okay, it's a younger Ven than most he's seen around lately, than the one he knows best. But it's his friend, after all - he gives a smile. Any of him's good to see.]

Ah! Hello, Ven.

[Right size Xehanort, still not the one from Even's 'verse. Although, this one is familiar. Have a raised eyebrow.]

What were you expecting?

Uh... hey.

[He tilts his head. Someone still looks incredibly confused. It's obviously not his Terra, so...]

[And have a faint smile.]

I was aiming for the training halls.

Mm. [haha like Even would ever be anywhere near there--] Yes, you may have overshot that a bit.

[pause.] Have we met?

Is something the matter?

[Yeah, he's starting to notice that.]

Of course we have, Even. It's me.

[Unhelpful answer is go.]

No, nothing's wrong! I'm just...surprised, I guess? You look a lot like someone I know. Sound like him too.

[another pause. that was vague, spoilernort. takes a guess, based on the clothes and the manner:]

Shouldn't you be...shorter?

Hmm. Well, at least this one seems relatively harmless.

[Yep. Ienzo's got a small, caged Unversed. A Laser Bunny! Obviously he hasn't noticed Xeha just yet.]

Well - I'm not surprised. [He shrugs.] You look like someone I do, too. Though he's a little older.

That takes me back. Usually, people used to ask me if I shouldn't be taller. [He laughs.] That's quite a change.

Older? That's weird...

[He pauses, thinking about this.]

I didn't know there were older mes here! But you kinda remind me of... Terra. Just he dresses a lot different than you. I've only seen him in a lab coat here...

Yes, well, you were shorter the last time I saw you, which wasn't quite so long ago.

[What. Ienzo. Very distinctive Ienzo. Younger than he knew. That's ... not easy to mistake for anyone else.]

... Ienzo? What are you doing with that?

Hm? Xehanort?

[Wait. He stops and-- oops! Wrong one. There's no way his Xehanort would start dressing so casually.]

I was going to examine this creature. Many mysteries still surround these "Unversed", and they pose much less of a risk than Heartless when it comes to studies.

[He blinks.]

I don't ... usually go by that. And I wasn't working in the labs today.

... How long ago was it?

[He looks more than a little puzzled as he starts putting pieces together.]

Well, he even acts different. Ever since I found him here he's just been real cold and he's acted like he doesn't know me.

Ah. How has it been going?

[Was his Ienzo still into Unversed studies when they last discussed their work? He tries to remember.]

[He sighs. This reminds him of things he heard so long ago, now... the cogs are starting to turn.]

...The you I know said the same things about his version of me a long time ago.

A few days.

How long ago...?

[This is making him wonder about that, too. Hmmm...]

Something's not right, then. No-one's commented on my height for - three years, at least.
