[Great, another hooded person wandering in. At least this one's gone for a bit of variety - a girl in a blue and black jacket with a crown design on the back and a checkered skirt. Stroll in through a door, stop, look around: this is pretty typical.

Look again at the door - it's turned into a closet. She closes the door, fiddles with the knob for a moment, reopens it - frowns. Still a closet. One full of rather nice winter gear, actually.

Something's going on here. And she doesn't like it.
She doesn't like being on her own.]

[Have a possibly familiar face, just sort of wandering past.]

Is something the matter?

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

Oh! Aeleus?

[She gives a little bit of a relieved smile. Although where the heck did he get that coat? And his hair's not quite ... ah, well. Familiar face.]

What's happened?

[andahardplace.livejournal.com]

You mean with regards to this place?

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

How did we end up here?

[andahardplace.livejournal.com]

The place draws people in, to put it simply.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

That's... strange...

[Certainly nothing she knows anything about. Not that she knows a lot of things in general.]

[andahardplace.livejournal.com]

Much about this place is strange.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

Mm. How do we get back, though? I can't seem to unlock the path...

[andahardplace.livejournal.com]

There is no way back, I'm afraid.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

[Frown.]

That can't happen.

[andahardplace.livejournal.com]

It can't, but it has. No one knows the way out of this place.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

That just - makes no sense.

[salvention.livejournal.com]

[Neither does he.]

Hey - you okay?

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

[She gasps, bites her lip as she sees him. This has to be some kind of trap. Some kind of joke, at least. But trying to stay calm-]

Just ... confused.

[salvention.livejournal.com]

Confused? What are you confused about?

[The boy laughs, and shifts his weight to his other foot as he surveys the hooded figure.] Do you need any help?

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

[In answer to the first, she pauses, pushes her hood back - look familiar? And to the second-]

I need to go back...

[andahardplace.livejournal.com]

Very few things here make sense, I'm afraid.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

[She sighs. She can't imagine he's kidding in the slightest.]

At least you're here.

[salvention.livejournal.com]

[ djfkhglkjsdfg ]

W-Woah!! [ Ventus stumbles back. ]

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

[She flinches, steps back a little herself, as if a little ashamed to have confused him too.]

[salvention.livejournal.com]

You look just like me!

[ He's not lookin' in a mirror, right. ]

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

[Well, for one thing, girl.]

I - noticed ... what's going on?

[salvention.livejournal.com]

I'unno.

Maybe this is a dream.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

It's a strange dream ... I don't remember going to sleep ...

[salvention.livejournal.com]

Neither!

I was in my room just a moment ago...

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

I was with my [slight pause] - uh, friends. They'll be wondering where I went.

[salvention.livejournal.com]

... Hey wait, if you're me, are you talking about Terra and Aqua?

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

Ah - who? [She scratches the back of her neck.]

[salvention.livejournal.com]

Wait a moment! If you don't know Aqua and Terra, you can't be me!

What's your name?

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

[Huh.] It's Xion.

1/2

[salvention.livejournal.com]

Xion?

... [THINK THINK THINK.]

[salvention.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of you.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

Well, I never heard of people who look like me either ... what's your name?

[salvention.livejournal.com]

Ventus.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

Ventus. [She pauses -] ... well, we know names now? That's a start?

[salvention.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I... guess.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

But it doesn't answer how or what's happening...

[salvention.livejournal.com]

That's for sure.

Hmm...

[andahardplace.livejournal.com]

You'll find that most of us are here, actually.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

But I just saw you all back home...

[andahardplace.livejournal.com]

Time matters very little here.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head.] Then what do I do? What to we do? Where is everyone?

[andahardplace.livejournal.com]

The place is too big to keep track of everyone.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

[Face falls.] This isn't good.

[keycharmer.livejournal.com]

Hmm. [She frowns.] We need to find out.

[andahardplace.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

[salvention.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think we do.
