[It appears the dressing room is up to no good again. In one of the main rooms is a Kairi, passed out inside a large clear bottle. It's fairly obvious she doesn't look too well, but strangely, not for lack of oxygen. Oh- and as a touch of courtesy, there's a nice blue bow around the bottle neck. ♥]

[Well what a coincidence, today is Roxas's unbirthday! He'll just run over there and open up his gift, then.

And by open, I mean melt through. That hand touching the side is looking preeeeetty hot.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[But you have 363 more unbirthdays. Don't expect a present on every one of them.

Well keep your hot away from her, and we'll be all set. she's not going anywhere, that's certain.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Don't worry, he's making sure the heat doesn't travel across the glass. And soon enough he has a hole created that's big enough to step through, and he does, kneeling down beside her.]

Kairi?

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[She can feel the heat in the air though, and wakes a bit from that and his voice. She's still bleary-eyed from the looks of it.]

Mm... Roxas?

[A pause.]

It's this nightmare again, isn't it?

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[He looks confused as he looks down at her.]

What nightmare?

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

The one where you burn me up. I don't like that one. Go away.

[She turns away, trying to go back to sleep.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[He sighs and just sits down beside her.]

You know I would never do that.

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

You would. You all would. Leave me alone.

[Again, she tries to go back to sleep- somewhat unsuccessfully.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Just like before when you killed me? No one tried to kill you or hurt you at all. Kairi, I try really hard to make you understand that everyone wants you around, but you do nothing but push everyone away.

[His voice raises a bit, though he's not shouting. Roxas just looks more frustrated than anything else at the moment.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[She shrinks in on herself a little at the tone of voice.]

That doesn't matter any more. After what I did, you should be trying to kill me like everyone else.

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[He sees that and frowns, reminding himself to stay calm.]

I already told you, I'm not going to kill you. And I'm not going to bitch at you because I know you know how stupid what you did was.

[Roxas rests a hand on her shoulder.]

I'm sure he understands, because I do. And he always understands. It's not like you killed him. He's already healed and everything.

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[The hand on her shoulder makes her flinch, but not pull away. At the mention of him not being dead and all, she actually turns to look at him with a very confused face.]

...He's alive?

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Yeah. There were enough people around that they were able to help him.

[Roxas just looks at her seriously, that hand gripping her shoulder lightly.]

... Come back. I'll take you to him, you can apologize, and then you'll realize that we can get past this.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[that light tap would be his can hitting the side of that bottle, Kairi. then again, because he's gauging just how big this thing is. he hasn't realized there's anything inside it, and is simply coming up to rest a hand against the side of it curiously.]

This wasn't here before.

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[She stirs a little, from the tapping and sound of a voice. A slight and quiet waking sound is all you'll get though.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[it makes him pause a moment, head tilting as he runs his hand over the glass. soon he's walking around it slowly, forming a picture as his mind. a few seconds later he makes a startled sound as the bow brushes against his hand.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[She wakes more after that, blinking and readjusting. If his hand is still on the glass, he can probably feel the movement, if not the colder area she's leaning against.]

Mm?

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[his attention was diverted by the bow, but once he's figured out what it is his hand does indeed return to the glass. the coldness is disconcerting, and she might be able to feel the warmth of his hand as he tries to figure out why only part of the glass is colder. it doesn't seem to be a liquid.]

How strange...

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[Once she actually wakes enough to figure out what's going on, she's fairly surprised at waking up stuck inside a bottle. Her voice comes out slightly distorted through the glass:]

...Riku?

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

Kairi?

[distorted or not, there's no mistaking Kairi's voice. the cold he feels is starting to make sense now.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[She stands, slowly, taking in her surrounding confined space.]

Where... are we?

[She can see better than him, but he's probably got a much better idea of the location.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

One of the common areas. Is this- are you in a bottle?

[this is one heck of a way to send a message to someone.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. I don't know how I got here.

[But she'd really like to go back to her room at the far end of the dressing room.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

Can you get out?

[he's going to try tugging on that bow now, to see if it's actually blocking her way out.]

[frostedwaters.livejournal.com]

[It's just decorative! The cork in the top is the only real obstacle.]

...Maybe.

[A few shoves on that cork and it pops off, and from there she starts to pull herself out.]
