Wakened

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[A door opens into a hallway, and a Kairi dressed in black pants and a black tank top manages to stumble halfway out before grabbing the door frame. It's been months since she's moved, since she's been awake. Of course, the first thing she'd done upon waking was try to walk, so getting stuck like this was probably pretty predictable.]

[Not that she knows just how long she was comatose-- just that she's been asleep for a long time, and it's all she can do to keep herself up by clinging for dear life to the doorway.]

[Hey, Nobody!Kairi, have a not-exactly-Demyx. Nocturne blinks as he sees her clinging to the doorframe and approaches her carefully; from what little he's seen of versions of Kairi, black isn't her normal color, and people dressed in black who don't usually have this unfortunate tendency to be quite dangerous.]

Hey. You need some help?

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[Normally she would be decently dangerous, but she just woke up after being in a coma for nine months and her boyfriend wasn't in the room with her. At the moment, she's having a little bit of trouble being coherent, let alone volatile. Hearing his voice makes her look up, the only feeling in her eyes being a slightly pained undertone and perhaps a jaded sort of confusion.]

... What day is it..?

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

[Oh, gods. He'd hoped he wouldn't have to deal with this now that he's out of Econtra, but it seems the same thing happens here, too. Figuring "Tuesday" isn't the answer she's looking for, he says:]

The fifth. Of October.

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

O-October?!

[She starts to straighten, then buckles and nearly hits the floor before she grabs onto the frame of the door as tight as she can, wincing.]

That's gotta be wrong...!

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

[He moves to catch her before seeing she's caught herself, though obviously not comfortably.]

Hey, careful. I'm guessing you've been asleep for a very long time.

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[She tries her best not to lean on him, relying on herself.]

... [She can't ask about Riku, how would this guy know? She has to find him...]

I can't have been asleep...

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Sometimes places like this do that. Sorry. This is the first time I've heard of it happening here, but I haven't been here long.

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

... Nine months. I was asleep for nine months.

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Holy... Gods, I'm sorry.

[summer_poprocks]

Hey, are you okay?

[whoa, where did that derp come from--]

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[She has no idea. She's also kind of out of it, so excuse her if she doesn't respond right away. She's shaking, obviously putting a lot of strain on herself just to stand.]

[summer_poprocks]

[hopefully she doesn't hit him when he sees that and slips under her arm to give her something more to hold on to. or when his arm goes around her waist.]

Kairi?

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[She almost shoves him before she looks to see if it's Riku--but no, it's Roxas. Which is.... which is good. He'll take care of her, she knows that. So, sorry, Roxas, but she's gonna be clinging to you now for support.]

[summer_poprocks]

Oof!

[but does she remember which Roxas it is? he'll try not to stumble, looking around for somewhere he can take her that's close, and isn't the floor.]

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[She's sure as hell hoping it's the right Roxas. There's only one she trusts. She's doing her best to not be dead weight, but she's so far from stable right now.]

[summer_poprocks]

[yes well, she may find herself being taken right back into the room she crawled out of, if there's a bed visible in it.]

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[It's her room, so there's definitely a bed there. She just got up from a nine-month nap in it. She doesn't fight, though; she's not really strong enough to.]

okay, let's give this a shot. /punts the muse

[dawnpath.livejournal.com]

[If she looks around, she might spot a cloaked Riku close by. He looks a bit disoriented, but you try being plucked back into the DR out of the blue!

It takes him a moment to get a grasp of his surroundings, but when he does spot Kairi? He kinda...stares for a second.]

[She's not lasting too long in the doorway there. Before long, she's looking around, shaking like a leaf, before she tries to take a step out and just ends up stumbling to land roughly on the floor.]

[dawnpath.livejournal.com]

[Oh no you don't. Riku's gonna rush on over to her...

Yeah, he's not getting rid of the cloak just yet.]

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[When he's there, she's not really realizing what's going on yet. She sees the black, the coat, and kind of panics a bit, trying to push herself away from him for a moment. If it's not Sora, there's no one wearing that coat that she would want to see right now.]

[dawnpath.livejournal.com]

[...Of course. She always did have a thing against Rikus, didn't she?

Would it help if he tossed that cloak aside, then?]

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[A bit, yes. When she looks up and sees his face, she freezes. Wait a minute, it's...]

... R...riku?

[dawnpath.livejournal.com]

Hey.

[He'd glad to see her. Really, he is, but he's going to take it slow. She looks pretty tired, after all.]

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[She's going to curl toward him, then.]

My body's... not working right.
