[There's a new Namine and she's just walked out of a building to find herself on an unfamiliar street.]

Hmm, did I take a wrong turn?

[She turns around to go back inside the building, but it's not the same place she left.]

How...many wrong turns could I have made?

[As if that's not strange enough, she's looking around to see color. She looks back at herself, a colorless Namine.]

Or did I get spiked with LSD....?

[ooc: new here, hallo! I actually used to lurk and post here a few years ago. I just realized there has been some sort of a setting change, so I'm going to try to get up to speed and accommodate my character.]

I'd say you got spiked with a whole lot more than that, considering your appearance.

[it's not every day one sees someone lacking in colour to such a degree after all. the Riku standing nearby looks pretty normal, though his hair may seem just slightly tinged green. he's dressed in bland, coldness-appropriate clothing, with his hands in his pockets and a vaguely interested expression in place.]

[variouscolors.livejournal.com]

What?

[She looks surprised to see a Riku with any color.

She glances back at herself and shrugs, only noticing a speck of brown dirt on her white dress, which she just brushes off, frowning at the stain it made.]

I'm fine, but you look kind of strange. ... In fact, everything here does...

[paopuspirit.livejournal.com]

Strange how?

[he doesn't see anything particularly strange about anything at all around them, all things considered.]

[variouscolors.livejournal.com]

...Are you saying this is normal?

[She looks back to herself to make sure she hasn't grown any color.]

What's with your hair? Does it have a disease?

[Believe or not, she's serious. That wasn't an insult. She reaches out to touch his hair.]

I can fix that...

[paopuspirit.livejournal.com]

This is all perfectly normal, yes.

[he slides just slightly out of reach, shaking his head. to be honest, he wouldn't mind when it comes to himself, but he's not sure how it would effect his tree.]

And there's nothing wrong with my hair, but thank you.

[variouscolors.livejournal.com]

[She pulls her hand back immediately, not wanting to disturb him or his tree, although she wouldn't know that.]

Are you sure you're not ill?

[She's looking around again.]

I thought things with color were supposed to fall apart or die.

[paopuspirit.livejournal.com]

What a strange world you must be from... this world is quite vibrant, but also quite alive. Plants, for example, may lose their colour somewhat when they become ill here.

[variouscolors.livejournal.com]

[She tilts her head.]

That's strange.

[dot dot dot]

Where am I?

[paopuspirit.livejournal.com]

It's normal for most worlds, as far as I know.

[he pauses for a moment, wondering again who named this place.]

As far as I know, it's simply called the dressing room, despite looking nothing like one.

[The only real colour to this young woman, regarding her with the cool interest of a scientist, is that in her skintone and eyes: white hair, white and black clothing.]

Why would you believe that?

[variouscolors.livejournal.com]

[She continues to stare at her surroundings, trying to take in all this new visual stimuli.]

It's so bright ... and vivid. Aren't these what hallucinations look like?

[exmariascientia.livejournal.com]

While I've never experienced them myself, I believe that varies from person to person. Regardless - from what I can tell, you are likely not hallucinating. [Slightly softer-] Just lost.

[variouscolors.livejournal.com]

...Where am I? And how did I get here?

[She takes a seat on the front steps. The color is starting to overwhelm her.]

[exmariascientia.livejournal.com]

The second, I don't have an answer for. The first, a meeting point outside worlds. Is this - the first time you've experienced something like this?

[variouscolors.livejournal.com]

[She pauses to think.]

As far as I can remember.

[She looks blankly at the woman talking to her.]

"Outside worlds"? Meaning I've left mine? How do I get back?

[exmariascientia.livejournal.com]

Correct. And the short answer is, barring good luck, you don't.

[Not about to sugar-coat things, here.]

This place does like to collect the unusual, sometimes.

[variouscolors.livejournal.com]

...Unusual?

[blink blink]

Me?

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

[It's certainly not a help against the color of the world, but this arrival is quite completely done over in shades of gray... except for his eyes, which are twin points of golden-yellow.

On the other hand... he's a giant dragon, so that might not make for the most comforting of things.]

Are you sure you'd like the answer to that?

[variouscolors.livejournal.com]

[She's going to step back a few feet, stumbling on the front steps of the building she exited out of, grasping the rail to steady herself.]

W-w-what are you?

[She notices that this fellow soul is also lacking color, well, apart from the eyes, which in her world is a sign of disease.]

Your eyes...are they okay? Did something happen?

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

What, never seen a dragon before?

[He ignores the comment about his eyes, for now.]

[variouscolors.livejournal.com]

So that's what you are.

[She shakes her head.]

No, can't say I have.

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

You have now, then.

[He grins at his words, although the gesture probably doesn't look at all friendly, since mostly it just manages to point far too many pointy teeth on display.]

[variouscolors.livejournal.com]

Aheh...

[er. nervous grin.]

Who exactly are you...besides a dragon? And what is this place?

[warpingwings.livejournal.com]

How about you call me Xigbar? As for here, it's the Dressing Room.

[variouscolors.livejournal.com]

...Xigbar?!

[This look nothing like the Xigbar she knows.]

How the...you're not the same one...right? No. You--what?
