designed to disappear

[And another new comer, one that wasn’t quite informed of his invite to this place. There was the customary stumble into existence in this place, wide-eyed and confused. Not quite gracefully, he landed with a clamor into the floor, as though literally plucked up from his world and dropped into this one. A short sharp shout of surprise and Roxas had landed face first on the floor.

Unfortunately, this kind of circumstance isn’t as novel as it should be. Groaning, he picked himself up, rubbing his aching red cheek as he started staring at the room around him. This wasn’t new, even if the place was. Blue eyes narrow real quick, soon enough he’s pushing open a door into another room, exploring.]

Am I dreaming or what?

[He’s just talking to himself, asking a question to an unfamiliar and seemingly empty room... and still the words sound almost familiar. Roxas is just trying to make sense out of nonsense, eyes flickering in attempts of finding answers on the floor, and, lightly, he leans back against the door.]

So what happened to him now?

[Seemingly empty room? Well, Ven quickly sat up from the other side of her bed and looked over at the voice going--

Whoa. Is that a boy self? (She hasn't met anyone but versions of herself yet..)] Huh? What happened to who?

[vespertined.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I was just--

Uhh... you're...

[connectmyheart.livejournal.com]

You're another me, right? [Stands and dusts her knees off, she had been trying to catch an Unversed that went and hid under the bed. The creature was gone now though.]

[vespertined.livejournal.com]

I don't really know about that... I didn't know there were other mes.

[With how confused her male 'self' looks, she's going to move around the bed then to sit on the edge with a light blink.] Well, that's kind of how this place is.. um, it was described to me as a nexus; a place where all the worlds cross paths, so just about anyone and anything is here, including different versions of the same people.

[vespertined.livejournal.com]

I guess that makes sense. That means there's still... a me back where I came from, then?

[connectmyheart.livejournal.com]

Maybe? You're the you from your world, and you're here now. [Scratches her chin, then crosses her arms in thought.]

[This kid happened to be nearby when Roxas made his none-too-quiet entrance, so Xion goes looking for the source of the noise. He ends up outside of the room Roxas is in, but since he closed the door... Xion decides to call out.]

Hello? Anyone there?

[vespertined.livejournal.com]

Oh, uh, yeah. Just me.

[stillatrap.livejournal.com]

[Even though it's coming from a boy? Because that's who you'll see standing there; he's a little bit taller than his female self, and his voice is just a bit lower than yours, Roxas. Still, feel free to ping away. Xion won't breathe a word about it, probably.]

Oh, hey. You okay? I heard a noise.

[don't mind that crossbow he's holding, either. it's not loaded!]

[vespertined.livejournal.com]

I'm fine -- Okay, maybe a little lost.

[stillatrap.livejournal.com]

[all innocence over here. if Roxas doesn't remember him, then good. peers at him, anyway, and notices that red cheek. that gets him to smile a tiny bit, and he holds up a hand to cast a Cure, the crossbow held loosely by his side in the other.]

This your first time here?

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

Nope, it's not a dream.

[Says the Riku close by. He seems to be interested in the fact that this room is...definitely less busy than some of the other ones around here. Huh.]

[vespertined.livejournal.com]

Whatever.



What are you doing here?

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[At least this Riku is younger? He rolls his eyes at the attitude, though.]

Just looking around. Most rooms here aren't this empty.

[vespertined.livejournal.com]

You've been here, then?

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

I've been stuck in this world for about two years, give or take.

[He figures there's a good reason to be skeptical. Most Roxae seem to dislike Rikus. His "Roxas" does, except in that case it's because of fake memories. Extremely complicated ones.]

[vespertined.livejournal.com]

What a mess. We're stuck, aren't we?

[chosenwielder.livejournal.com]

[Well, canonku kidnapped him for a good reason! To save Sora. Keyku... hasn't experienced any of that. Oh universes.

He nods, though.]

Could say that. Sometimes people do manage to get out...for a while. I left before, only to wind up back here a week later.

[madvaporskillz.livejournal.com]

[Empty, perhaps, until a cat fades into view.]

Are you dreaming?

[vespertined.livejournal.com]

You again? Are you going to help this time?

[madvaporskillz.livejournal.com]

This time? I can't remember there being a last time for there to be a this time.

[vespertined.livejournal.com]

I guess you don't know a way out, cat?

[madvaporskillz.livejournal.com]

Why should I bother to leave? I've only just arrived, you see.

[vespertined.livejournal.com]

So, why would you want to stay here?
