one of those ghosts.

[There's a new kid in one of the common rooms today, and it seems he brought some of his world with him. He was just standing out on the beach watching the moon over the ocean when he'd closed his eyes- and found himself in a place severely lacking in any sound of waves or sea breeze. He's still standing on a pile of sand, looking about in a wary manner.]

[ Sitting with her feet up on the couch, Kairi has her back turned to the newcomer. Fortunately, she's become used to keeping alert so much that it's more like a force of habit nowadays. So when a new body shows up in the room, she straightens up in her seat before turning her head to peek over her shoulder. ]

Hello?

[ She can't get a good look at him from her current position, so she pushes herself up on her hands and swings her legs around to the front of the couch, placing her feet on the floor. ]

...Kairi?

[He blinks somewhat owlishly, staring at her from his spot on the sand.]

[horrorcharm.livejournal.com]

[ She pushes herself up to stand, finding his face. Without hesitation, she's throwing herself into a run, and if Riku stands still, he'll find himself subject to a rather tight hug, now that Kairi's standing in the sand too. ]

Riku.

[ If she fell asleep and this is all a dream that's about to turn bad, she'll at least enjoy the first five seconds of it. ]

[lurkinghorrors.livejournal.com]

What... happened?

[He carefully returns her hug, still a little dumbstruck at the drastic scenery change.]

[horrorcharm.livejournal.com]

[ He looks the same. He smells the same. He feels the same.

Kairi doesn't want to wake up, and her hug only gets more excessively tight. ]

We're in the Dressing Room. I don't know how it happens exactly, but it's another world. It's another world that picks out people from different universes and brings them here to keep like souvenirs.

[The tightening hug is worrying him more than causing any discomfort.]

...I thought we were finally done hopping worlds.

[horrorcharm.livejournal.com]

[ She shakes her head. ]

Maybe we were, but the Dressing Room wanted us here for whatever reason. We didn't choose to come here, but we're here now. I was scared I wouldn't see you again.

[lurkinghorrors.livejournal.com]

I'm here now, aren't I?

[One side of his mouth curves into a slight smile.]

You said 'we', so Sora's here too, right?

[horrorcharm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're here...

[ And she's finally letting herself believe it's real. With a tiny smile, she loosens her hold on him, but she's not letting him out of the hug just yet. ]

Sora's here too. We've been waiting for you.

[lurkinghorrors.livejournal.com]

You know I always catch up eventually.

[horrorcharm.livejournal.com]

At least we're all here now.

[ She kisses his cheek before glancing down at the sand. ]

I'm guessing you were on the beach?

[lurkinghorrors.livejournal.com]

[Blinks a couple times before really registering her question.]

Yeah. I wanted to see the moon come out.

[And to make sure it wasn't familiarly heart-shaped like those voices kept telling him.]

[horrorcharm.livejournal.com]

[ Kairi tilts her head. ]

How did it look? I miss it already.

[horrible-ending.livejournal.com]

[Well that isn't the first thing someone expects to see here. What exactly is with this setting]

Hm?

[lurkinghorrors.livejournal.com]

[Sorry I got sand all over your carpet. Now just what are you doing here?]

Sora? What just happened?

[horrible-ending.livejournal.com]

[Seeing the way he this one looks, he blinked. First Kairi and now?]

Riku? You're seriously you? From my world?

[Ignoring that question he asked completely]

[lurkinghorrors.livejournal.com]

[Headtilt.]

Have you been seeing other me's?

[horrible-ending.livejournal.com]

Yes, and they AREN'T hallucinations, before you ask.

[lurkinghorrors.livejournal.com]

...Is Chess playing tricks on you?

[horrible-ending.livejournal.com]

You think he'd put that much effort into something like doing this?
He's a cat, man.

[lurkinghorrors.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what all this is...

[Glances about the room.]

...but hallucinations of people seems more up his alley.

...what the fuck where my notifs :|

[horrible-ending.livejournal.com]

Yeah well it's not him.

This is like some sort of weirdass other dimension that sucks in other dimension's residents...Think like DC comics only WEIRDER.

I heard they were being weird last night?

[lurkinghorrors.livejournal.com]

And it... makes clones of people?

No, Lj in general has been weird all WEEK but the notifs have been fine for me

[horrible-ending.livejournal.com]

No, it brings the us's from those universes

...strange. They're working fine for me at the moment.

[lurkinghorrors.livejournal.com]

That does sound like something out of a comic book. But I guess it's hard to argue with what's in plain sight.
