[it's easy to overlook this one. the pale girl blends in with the white hallway. she sits silently against the wall and keeps her head down, arms hugging a sketchbook to her body. while she knows she'll get in trouble if the organization finds her out here, being unproductive, she thinks if she gets up to try to find her way back, she'll run into the organization along the way and get in trouble then. either way, she's screwed.]

ooc: castle oblivion!namine. :]

[She may blend in, but this kiddo's never really seen many Naminés, so she manages to catch his attention. Slowly, he approaches her, trying not to disturb her work.

But at the same time, he can't help but ask--]

Hey, what are you doing out here?

[forgetmenought.livejournal.com]

[she pulls her sketchbook tighter and is reluctant to lift her face to look at him. he's not with the organization, is he? maybe he'll be playing a part in their plans after all, but of course she wouldn't have been informed.]

I'm not sure...

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Aw, did he scare her? Ven crouches down to her level.]

Well, it's okay. Did you just get here?

[forgetmenought.livejournal.com]

[oh, something about him feels nice. naminé wants to warn him about the organization, get him out of here while he still has a chance, but this place is all she knows. she had no where else to go, and she's never known anything but the organization. she glances to her right to peek down the hallway while he asks his question, returning her eyes to him when he's finished. she hasn't seen all of the castle, but the halls don't look like the ones she's used to when she considered the smaller details...]

Are we in the castle?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Castle? At first, he says nothing, scratching his head while he tries to figure this out. A castle?

...huh. He shakes his head.]

No, I don't think this place is a castle. Most people call it the Dressing Room!

[forgetmenought.livejournal.com]

[the dressing room? that can't be right. naminé frowns.]

Then I must be lost...

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Well, I can show you around if you want!

[He grins.]

[forgetmenought.livejournal.com]

[please don't do that. it's such a nice thing that you're doing, and naminé doesn't know how to respond. and now her lips are twitching. oh, that's a flicker of a smile. how strange.]

But I... I have to go back.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

I understand. A lot of people have stuff to take care of back in their worlds. Problem is, there's really no way outta here.

[A beat.]

Well, other than waiting. Sometimes people go home, but they can't really choose to leave.

...you woke up my Sora muse somehow.

[friendsarepower.livejournal.com]

Naminé?

[Incoming, Nami! Here comes a Sora, and boy does he look happy to see her!]

[forgetmenought.livejournal.com]

[she freezes at the sound of her name. marluxia told her she'd be meeting sora soon enough, and here he is. she wants to tell him everything, but larxene's warning remains at the front of her mind. she can't betray his feelings. she tries to sound happy, but there's a definite solemnity to her voice as she lifts her head to meet his eyes.]

Sora...

[friendsarepower.livejournal.com]

Hey.

[He smiles and takes a step closer. Fortunately for this Sora, his only experience with Naminés is in the Dressing Room. All his memories are firmly intact, not that she'd realize it herself.]

I've been looking all over for you. Is everything okay?

[forgetmenought.livejournal.com]

[no. everything is very, very wrong. naminé lies.]

...yes.

[she knows her sora is making his way to the twelfth floor now, and she knows he's not okay, whether he knows it or not. she asks him anyway.]

Are you okay?

[friendsarepower.livejournal.com]

[And, as usual, Sora is completely clueless.]

Yeah, I'm okay! It's just been kinda lonely without my friends around, but I'm sure they're around here somewhere.

[forgetmenought.livejournal.com]

[what are you talking about, sora? she straightens up, watching him curiously.]

Do you mean Riku?

[friendsarepower.livejournal.com]

Not just Riku. It's been ages since I've seen Donald and Goofy. Kairi, too.

[Yes, Kairi.]

[forgetmenought.livejournal.com]

[she'll really be in for it if the organization finds out about this. she should get to work now and fix whatever mistake she's made. naminé leaves one arm around her sketchbook and uses the other to push herself up onto her feet.]

You know Kairi?

Congratulations, you managed to bring my Roxas out of hiding. XD

[synch-blader.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey is that...]

...Namine?

naminé has this effect on muses today. ;]

[forgetmenought.livejournal.com]

[naminé has never met roxas before, so she's not sure who it is that is calling for her. she lifts her head to look toward the source. if he's wearing the coat, she'll straighten up, and if he's wearing casual clothes, she'll lower her head again, give a little frown, and wish that he'd be somewhere else. anywhere else, as long as it's safe. he has a friendly voice.]

XD

[synch-blader.livejournal.com]

[He stopped wearing the coat a long time ago. He doesn't really like it anyway. So yes, casual clothes.

Walks over.]

You okay?

[Worried look is worried.]

[forgetmenought.livejournal.com]

[go away, nice boy. don't you know nothing good can come of this? she doesn't meet his eyes when she lies.]

Yes... Are you lost?

[synch-blader.livejournal.com]

[No way. He's stubborn. ^^

And capable of telling when someone lying. Most of the time anyway.]

Nope.

....You sure you're alright?

[Trying to look her in the eyes for her answer. Why wont you look at me? :<]

[forgetmenought.livejournal.com]

[she hugs her sketchbook tighter to her chest, keeping quiet for a few seconds. then she catches the blue of his eyes out of the corner of her own, and she finds herself turning up her face to meet his eyes. they feel so familiar... but she's never seen them before, has she?]

Are you with the Organization?

[synch-blader.livejournal.com]

[Blink blink. Awkward head scratch.]

Um, not anymore.

[forgetmenought.livejournal.com]

[what's that supposed to mean? naminé is vaguely aware that castle oblivion does not hold all of the organization's members, but she can't imagine anyone leaving the organization. she's not sure how anyone can. she's straightening up, watching roxas with uncertainty.]

Who are you?
