[Well. Another day, another arrival: another Aqua, seemingly dropping out of a portal on the ceiling and stumbling.

Something a bit weird about this one, perhaps, though. Her hair's wild, her eyes tired and oddly focused. She looks rather beaten up, too.]

This - this isn't right...?

((AU Aqua. ... Less than stable, thanks to various things. Usual relevant BBS spoiler warnings apply.))

/is so sorry, Aqua wouldn't shut up until she got to do this XD

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

Are you all right?

[Says the double that looks a little beat up as well, but not quite as out of it.]

*bwahaha*

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[What the hell?! She steps back, wary, tense.]

What are you?

Teehee

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

Hey wait it's okay I can explain!

[holds a hand out to try and calm her. What happened to you....?]

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[That's not helping too much.]

Then explain. Is this some kind of a trick? Whose idea was this?

[aetheriae.livejournal.com]

[sora might not remember her meeting with her world's aqua-- well, aqus, but someone who looks like they might need help and isn't a villain is worth helping!]

Hey, are you okay?

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

I don't know whose idea it was, but you're in what's called the Dressing Room, it's like a crossroads of different worlds, there's doubles of everyone here.

Like you, me, and probably the ten or so others of us I think I've seen.

[Hopes this works.]

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[You sure on that 'not a villain', Sora? She looks more than a bit confused at the sight of her... what's going on here? Ven's niece or something? She gives a hesitant nod:]

What's happening?

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[That just gets a laugh.]

I'm supposed to believe that? With a name like that?... [more muttering to herself] This has to be one of that boy's illusions.

[aetheriae.livejournal.com]

[hey, she doesn't know that :c]

Oh, you're new here?

[give her a second to remember exactly what she was told about this place.]

It's a crossroads between dimensions. Nobody knows how we got here...or how we get back, either.

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

Well...you don't have to believe it but it's the truth.

[What about this double is making her so nervous?]

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

A crossroads between dimensions.

[She looks a bit skeptical, but gives a bit of a nod.]

Between realms? Between worlds?

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[This is not a happy Aqua any more. But she'll play along with it, with a slight shrug.]

This is all rather strange.

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[that must be it.]

i know...takes a while to get used to. I've been here almost two months and I'm not used to it all myself.

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

Two months? What ... can I expect around here?

[Looking a bit worried. Got to be a trick. Got to just want to get her to doubt herself...]

[aetheriae.livejournal.com]

I think it's between universes. I've seen more than one Riku here, and other versions of me...

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

Universes... and other versions of people?

[This can't be real. She just looks kind of stunned.]

That doesn't seem possible.

[aetheriae.livejournal.com]

I know, it sounds really weird. I haven't been here for very long, either.

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

And ... you said no-one knows a way back?

[Looking increasingly worried.]

[aetheriae.livejournal.com]

... if they have, they must've used it without telling anyone.

[Shakes her head.]

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[She puts her face in her hands for a moment.]

I've got to, though. There are things I need to do.

[aetheriae.livejournal.com]

You and me both. Apparently it...just sends people home sometimes, but you can't choose when.

[stormytides.livejournal.com]

[Looking around.]

I'm not going to be trapped...!

[limping-grin.livejournal.com]

Hmm?

What a pretty young thing...

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

Let's see [counts them off on her fingers] Doubles, strange spells, kids from the future, other stuff that I haven't figured out yet...

[aetheriae.livejournal.com]

There's...really not a lot we can do, though. I mean, I've been looking for a way out since I got here, but...
