[ A much confused Duck is walking in the corridors, looking around curiously and worriedly. Donald had been quietly sleeping in Disney Castle, only to wake up in that world, without any clue to where he can be. Well, so far he had made two encounters: a Shadow Heartless and a low Unversed, who both attacked him. He managed to defeat them easily, but he was worried at the idea to be somehow stuck in a world controlled by the Heartless.

His sailor shirt is black instead of blue for a change, and while he tries to remain calm, he’d really enjoy finally meeting someone to explain him where he is. ]


((OOC: Aside from the icons being from the comics, this is a mostly canon Donald, post KH2.))

[Well, it isn't a Heartless. In fact, this particular one has a heart.

The problem is, of course, that heart or not, Nocturne still looks like any other version of Demyx. Like, say, any other one that was still working with the Organization. And his hair's still pretty recognizable from the back, which is what's to Donald if he rounds the next corner...

He's just walking along, whistling to himself, but still, he's a Demyx. Even if this one is in a bad Hawaiian shirt instead of an Organization coat.]

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

[ And Donald does round the next corner! What he sees though, it takes minute a couple of seconds to react, then, a major quack and a few words spoke very quickly. ]

A-A member of the Organization!!!

[ But how? They defeated every single one of them! And Donald remember very well this one. And this Hawaiian shirt... on a Nobody? Now that's fishy. Nevertheless, Donald brandish his staff to cast a Thundaga. Not like he could say Demyx got a heart. ]

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Ow!

[And that would be Nocturne falling over from a Thundaga to the back.]

What the heck? Watch where you're aiming that thing!

[He turns around, not sure who to expect... even so, Donald wasn't exactly on the list.]

What was that for?

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

You are a member of the Organization!!

[ What other reasons needed to attack someone? ]

You-You attack peoples and cause misery to them!

[ So said Yen Sid. ]

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Oh, right, not from my world. I don't do that stuff anymore; I split after I screwed things up with you guys in the Underworld.

Trust me on this one. You don't see me wearing the coat, do you?

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

On your world?

[ Suspicious glare, but he doesn't attack.Donald's not very familiar with the concept of alternate realities, but he gives him the benefit of the doubt, because of the cloak. ]

But... After the Underworld, you attacked us again at Hollow Bastion!

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

... Yeah, uh, maybe your version of Demyx did.

Okay, let me explain. [He doesn't have high hopes for Donald believing any of this, especially coming from him, but at least he can try.]

They call this place the dressing room. It's sort of... well, I guess it's like Traverse Town, except instead of just different worlds like the Coliseum or Wonderland or wherever, it draws in people from different versions of our universe completely. There's a lot of most people here - like, there's a bunch of me. Two of them are girls, and at least one's a little kid.

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

Do you think I'm going to eat such a silly story?

[ Correct, Donald doesn't believe it. As far as he is concerned, poor attempt on 'Demyx''s end to avoid fighting. ]

If you are true, it means there are different version of me here?

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

[He frowns a little.]

Y'know, come to think of it, I don't think I have seen another version of you here. Kinda weird when I think about it. I mean, I can't walk down the hall without running into a version of Sora or Riku, or somebody from the Organization, but I don't think I've run into any of you since I left my universe.

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

Hum, normal, there is only one Donald Duck.

2/2

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

[ Wait... Still not believing. ]

Could you prove your story?

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Well, sure. All we have to do is find another me.

Glad to see you ditched that weird hat with the zippers, by the way.

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

[ Hey, he actually liked his weird hat with zippers! Although this was uncomfortable. ]

I only wear it on missions.

... Lead the way then. You should know where the other you are, right?

[ Staff still in hand and ready. Doesn't trust you. ]

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Nope, but I seem to run into them a lot so it shouldn't be a problem.

... Wait a second. If you guys fought me twice in your world... Did you let me get away again, or what? 'Cause otherwise I'd be dead in your world and that'd kind of prove my point, wouldn't it?

1/2

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

Yes we did defeat you, much to Sora's pleasure I should add...

2/2

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

...

[ Nocturne gets a major point right there. ]

M-Maybe you're a ghost or something?

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

[Nocturne slaps his hand against the wall. That's a pretty solid sort of noise.]

I'm pretty sure I'm not a ghost. I'm not even sure Nobodies can have ghosts.

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

Maybe you're right... Or maybe we merely didn't kill you and you faked your death.

[ That, is Donald in denial of the reality. ]

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

... Okay, I'm pretty sure you guys would be able to tell the difference between a portal and what happens when we die by now.

Okay, uh, about how long after we ran into each other in the Underworld did I run into you guys in Hollow Bastion? [He's trying to figure out what would have happened after his death from their point of view, and hoping that apart from him things went mostly the same way in their world.

[skygale.livejournal.com]

Donald?!

[Here, have a very excited, very minature Keybearer rushing towards Donald. He hasn't seen any version of him in the Dressing Room before.]

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

Sora?!

[ You, Sora, are getting a glomps. Wait, he notices that Sora is smaller... And different from how he remembers him. But question will wait a bit. ]

[skygale.livejournal.com]

Whoa!

[Oof. He wasn't expecting a glomp, but that's a-okay! He'll return the gesture with a hug.]

It's really you.

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

Yup, it's me!

[ He smiles to him. ]

You look younger though! What happened...?

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

[No Heartless here, luckily, but this particular corridor is full of something that's either a sizable mountain of gray scales or a dragon. Given the wings, it's probably the latter.]

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

[ W-What the hell? What's with this place, a dragon?!!

Ok, try to stay calm... He takes his staff and gets ready to cast a spell if the dragon moves. ]

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

[Some 80-odd feet of dragon, yep. He's just sort of lazing around though.

After a moment, one yellow-gold eye opens up to peer at Donald.]

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

[ Ok, the dragon doesn't attack yet... Donald is slowly going to try retreating into another corridor, ok. He doesn't want to let that... Creature attack him. His spells would probably not be very effective anyway. ]

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

You don't really need to run, you know.

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

I'll run if I...-

[ This duck needs emergency help after having seen a giant dragon speaks to him in a familiar voice. ]

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

[Well, hopefully he's not expecting it to come from Xigbar.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*screeeeeeee-*

DONALD!

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

S-Sora!

[ As with the other Sora, Donald runs and offers you a massive hug. It's been quite a while since he saw Sora in his universe, and he's reassured to see him here. ]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he laughs when you make contact, and lifts you up under the arms for a nice squeeze! yay his avian bff! he's a little older than Donald might remember him, but he looks almost exactly the same, aside from a few more muscles*

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

[ He laughs. Donald notices those changes, and merely consider it is Sora getting normally older, yeah, he doesn't believe Nocturne's story yet. ]

I'm glad to see you here!

[ Nobodies, Dragons, yeah, meeting Sora is a relief. ]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to see you too!

*puts you back down*

How did you end up here, Donald?

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

Well... I was sleeping in the Castle.

[ Embarrassed laugh. ]

And when I woke up, well... I er, was here.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he laughs a little behind his hand, but nods*

Oh... well, I'm sorry. It's not really a happy place to wake up.

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

Especially when Heartless are the first things I met.

[ He gives Sora a questioning look. ]

You know about this place?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

Yikes. Are you okay?

*should he hit you with a Cure?*

Yeah, unfortunately. It isn't home. It's a place called the dressing room. It's full of all types of weird crap. And tons of Heartless and Nobodies. And multiples.

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

[ What Heartless? There was just a woman in an Organization cloak who had her hands across her chest, a Sniper Nobody following behind her. She wasn't busy at all except for going her own way, heading somewhere.

And then she noticed the duck.

Of course, this brought a smile to her face because it was rarely duck season around these parts. ]

1/2

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

[ And the Duck noticed her! Wait... This woman looks strangely familiar. Does Xigbar have a sister or nothing? ]

2/2

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

[ But hey, that's a nobody behind her, and that cloak...!! Staff ready, angry quack. ]

A-Another member of the Organization!!

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

[ Hum. How unfortunate they weren't in China. She'd kill for some Peking Duck.

She kept her smile. ]

You sure? I've never met you in my life.

[ Technically that was a legit question. Of course, she doesn't spill the secret that she's been in this world for a while. Never. Not with angry dinner. ]

[the-grumpy-duck.livejournal.com]

[ D-Donald better watch his back with her. He keeps his staff read to cast Thundaga anytime and looks at her suspiciously. ]

But you wear one of the Organization's cloak!! And there is a Nobody behind you!!!

[ And she still looks like Xigbar's twin sister. ]

[twilitdark]

[This guy isn't an Organization member, but may look like one at first glance.

His attention is clearly not on anything below his waist, because he doesn't notice the random duck in his path until he nearly trips over him.]

Hey, watch where you're go--huh?
