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.]

... You have got to be kidding me. Is she still a sadist in your universe, or do the Fates still have some mercy?

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

... Let's just say it's a good thing we keep the bird caged.

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

... I'm beginning to think I'm glad I didn't live in your universe.

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

You should be. It wasn't fun.

[Except getting 'close' to the superior. and sora. and sometimes it was fun to fight with riku. but dying sucked.]

Things are--were... a lot different for me here.

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

I'll bet.

Better, I hope?

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

... Right now, I'm not so sure. They were, though...

...

[He's not actually going to press her on this. He figures if she's that reluctant to talk about it she has enough problems.]

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

... I don't know everything that's changed. I don't... I don't even know who's still here. Sora, the one from my world, was here before. I hadn't seen him for a little while before I went to sleep, last I remember. The last thing I remember is going to sleep next to Riku-- not the one from my world, we hate each other. I'm dating this Riku... Or at least I was.

[She frowns down at her ice cream.]

... I had a heart when I fell asleep. That's gone, too.

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

... Oh, God, I'm sorry.

[He's well aware he can't quite fathom the feeling of losing a heart twice. He's familiar enough with the rest of it that his own heart goes out to her, though.]

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head.]

You're the first person to find me. I don't even know if Riku's still here... He could be, though.

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I, uh, know how it feels, not knowing if someone important is still around.

ohmygod i missed this tag I'M SO SORRY

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

... What happened with you?

It's okay, it happens *comfs*

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

I was in another nexus before this. There was this girl I was... pretty close to - she got sent home before I was.

;; ♥

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

... I'm sorry.

[She doesn't know if Riku's gone. But she doesn't have her heart anymore, so she can't grieve for his loss if she doesn't find him.]

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

You don't need to be. I was trying to be sympathetic with you.

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

If we're both sorry, we're on the same wave length.

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Heh, true enough.

Okay, sorry, but if you're IX in your world I guess I have to ask - you a musician?

[She takes in a deep breath, and sighs it out very slowly. Lets see how well she does in using her powers right now, she's starting to feel a little better.]

[She holds her hand out, and much like a normal Demyx, bubbles of water fade into existence and pool together, creating a black flute with silver and blue metallic markings in the palm of her hand. She grips it, and the water stops; she holds it up to show him, a slight smile on her face.]

Little bit.

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

[He nods, suitably impressed.] Nice. Good-looking instrument, too.

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I like having it, it's something that sets me apart here.

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That helps, sometimes.

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

Mhmm... Plus, the way I train with it is how I met a couple friends here.

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, music's good for meeting people. Attracts attention.

[dancingfingers.livejournal.com]

It is. I like the audiences.

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Something we have in common, then.
