[No gunfire or shattering glass this time, folks.  Nope.  Nothing like that.  However, you may notice that someone's head is going to break through the surface of the Dressing Room pool soon...and the person it belongs to definitely didn't dive into that pool before.

[In fact, Demyx had taken a dive into the pool of his local YMCA for swim practice, so as you can imagine, he'll be quite surprised when he surfaces in a completely different place.  

[Of course, the recent echoes of gunfire that have been heard around the dressing room aren't completely unrelated to him;  he's fairly certain that he was shooed off to swim practice so early that day so that he wouldn't have to see what was going on with the town's local gangs...of which many of his friends happened to be a part of...

[While he's unaware that some of those friends have arrived here as well (along with his sister), he is fully aware that something is off about today...because, as stated before, this was definitely not the pool that he had entered earlier...See him freeze in the middle of the shallow end, standing up and whipping his head around the room with furrowed brows.]

Uhm...kay...I am confused...

[It's by nothing more than chance that she's sitting at the edge of the pool, hanging her legs into the water when Demyx comes up. She jumps up onto her feet, looking the boy over.]

Demyx? Is that you?

[mizu-melody.livejournal.com]

[Well part of that 'something isn't right' feeling might be your doppleganger sitting on the edge of the pool, feet in the water, watching you.]

Uhhh, yeah. I think it's only going to get more confusing, unfortunatly.

[Demyx is still whipping his head around when he hears the familiar voice, spinning to stare at her in disbelief.]

Aqua? What the hell is going on?!

[He's none to concerned, really, just incredibly confused. Maybe this is just some weird dream...]

[homeboundmelody.livejournal.com]

[He's going to whip around and stare in the direction of that all-too-familiar voice now...and then jump a little, maybe even yelp.]

WOAH. WHA--?!

[findsway.livejournal.com]

[Aqua could be a speed stripper, the way she's whipping off her jacket and surreptitiously slipping her gun out from the waist of her jeans, hiding it within the material so it won't get wet as she sets it on the floor. She crouches down, placing her hands on the edge of the pool and hopping down into the water without a second wasted. In about three seconds, Demyx will probably find himself enveloped in a bear hug. She'd recognize him anywhere.]

You're here now.

[homeboundmelody.livejournal.com]

[What is she doing? Why is she--is she jumping into the pool!? But she still has her clothes on! Oh god, she's getting closer...this can't be good...oh god...]

Oomph!

[She's hugging him. This is the weirdest day...]

What the--...

[Attempting to push her off, rolling his eyes and growling a little.]

Hey, what's the big idea?! What do you mean I'm here!? Where's here?

[findsway.livejournal.com]

[She holds him tight for another moment before letting him have his way. Releasing him, she's grinning.]

The Dressing Room. I really don't know how to explain it, and you wouldn't believe me if I told you. You've got to see it for yourself. This place is... well, Terra and Ven are here, somewhere. They told me it's a place that all these different universes come together. Alternate universes, like something about of a bad movie. There are people who look like us.

[mizu-melody.livejournal.com]

Uhh... Hi. [Little wave.] Welcome to the dressing room.

[homeboundmelody.livejournal.com]

The...dressing room?

[homeboundmelody.livejournal.com]

An alternate universe. Really?

[Come to think of it, that would explain the whole pool phenomenon...but still...he can't help believe this is just some weird dream or an insanely well-executed prank on Aqua's part...]

Aqua, how the hell am I supposed to believe that?

[And oh, he doesn't sound exasperated.]

[mizu-melody.livejournal.com]

It's a world that drags people in and doesn't let them leave by choice. It's a bit weird. It drags in people from all sorts of worlds and dimentions and timelines... There's probably about a dozen of us Demyxes around here by now.

[homeboundmelody.livejournal.com]

Oh great, now I have to compete to be the best at being myself? This totally sucks...

[mizu-melody.livejournal.com]

Uhhh... Didn't think of it like that. [Headscratch] Some of us are different though. Like, some of have hearts and some don't. And one of us walks around in really bright hawaian shirts. And... [Pause, thinking.] I think Zexion mentioned that one of us is a girl.

[walkingastray.livejournal.com]

[We were looking for you here, Aqua! However, Terra did not expect to see Demyx as well. Which is somewhere between relieving and worrisome. Hearing him speak, he raises an eyebrow.]

Because it's true. If you walk out of this room, you'll find doubles of most of the people we interact with on a normal basis.

THREADJACKER. xDD <3333

[homeboundmelody.livejournal.com]

[Ah, there's Terra...just as Aqua said...Ven couldn't be close behind, then...]

How is that possible?

[He still can't--won't believe it...it doesn't make any sense.]

You know, it's easier to believe I fell asleep in the pool and fell asleep...or died.

[homeboundmelody.livejournal.com]

Uhm, what do you mean some of us have hearts? And if one of 'us' was a girl wouldn't it just be...a girl?

[findsway.livejournal.com]

[Aqua opens her mouth to respond, only to be saved the trouble by Terra. She just nods in confirmation. At Demyx's last statement, though, she lifts her hand to hit him upside the head, but she's not putting any more force behind it than a pat would carry.]

Don't say that. The point is that you're here and you're safe.

[homeboundmelody.livejournal.com]

Ow! Geesh, I was just kidding.

[Grumbly head-rubbing soon occuring.]

You can't tell me that you just accepted this right away. It makes no sense.

Guess that slap means I ain't dreaming though.

[mizu-melody.livejournal.com]

Well... I don't. [Shrug] And basicly it's like... she would be us from a different universe. [Headscratching--this whole concept is very confusing and he's no good at explaining because he's had a hard time grasping it himself.] She looks like us, but female. And she has the same name....

Threadjack! Can't help it xD

[waterprincessix.livejournal.com]

[Almost as if on cue, said girl pokes her head in.]

Uh...hi, sorry I didn't know this place was occupied just now.

Yay~! Nothing more confusing than three Demyxes in one room~!

[mizu-melody.livejournal.com]

[Much blinking--what timing!] Uhhh... Hi. [He turns to the other male Demyx in the room.] See?

[homeboundmelody.livejournal.com]

[Gawking Demyx will gawk.]

No way.

[waterprincessix.livejournal.com]

[Emmy blinks and goes t perch on the edge of the pool.]

You guys were talking about me?

[mizu-melody.livejournal.com]

Sort of, yeah. Just telling the new... ummm... Demyx here about doubles. [That... feels very weird to say.]

[homeboundmelody.livejournal.com]

And that one is a girl.

[waterprincessix.livejournal.com]

Yes I am.

[She leans forward just enough so she doesn'toverbalance and fall in, offering a handshake.]

Call me Emmy, it'll be easier i think.]
