[since I seem to be incapable of posting for them individually for the most part, it's time for another open post!

seasides: Kai is stuck in a sitting room, trapped under a large golden retriever... that looks a lot more orange than gold. maybe even apricot-coloured. possibly because it's actually Apricot.

fading: Nami seems to be suffering a similarly animal-related problem! a chocobo has managed to get loose from the stables and Nami was attempting to lead it back. much angry squawking has resulted in him seated in the grass in a hallway while his hair gets preened, however.

fromshadow: Chichi is looking a little young today! in fact, he looks no older than perhaps seven, and is trapped in an appropriately sized hamster ball vehicle. he is, of course, entirely unamused by this.

skybright: Sora is in one of the communal kitchens, which looks to be an awful mess. however, there are two different plates of cookies sitting on the table that don't actually look that bad! maybe she'll get the hang of this making food thing yet.

conflagrate: Axel is sitting on the stands of a room that looks like a miniature coliseum! fighting down in the middle of it all are a Heartless and a Nobody dressed in gladiator gear. the gear is kind of comically oversized, considering they're just a Shadow and a Dusk. at least Axel has popcorn.

paopuspirit: there is a Riku in a room that previously still had a very wintery look to it; that is, all the plantlife was more or less dead or hibernating. the place is looking much more lively today, with Riku in the middle of it all tending to a drooping lily.

islandflower: Kairi is in the beach room, wading out of the water toward a small bag and towel set on the sand. she looks pretty out of breath, so one could probably assume this wasn't a leisurely swim.

before: lastly, Red is passing through the halls toward the library, hood up and shoulders hunched. the reason for this is apparent once one gets a look at his face! he's a healthy shade for once, and his eyes look a little less like acid. indeed, it would seem today he's human.]

[Apricot is quite happy to play with his friend, and Kai is quite happy to simply watch.]

[okay that's enough of that, the Replica will sit up, wiping slobber off its face]

Apricot is really drooly now. But funner to wrestle with.

Yeah, less of a chance he'll get squished, too.

[Apricot backs off, sitting back down and wagging. more play? come on, he wants to play!!!]

I still like Apricot better as a bunny, but this is okay. But I'm not sick so Apricot isn't allowed to squish me.

[tiny Replica does not know what games dogs like to play]

That's fine, he won't now that you've said that. Maybe we should find a ball and see if he'll chase after it.

Is that what dogs do?

Some of them, yes. They like to chase things, like balls or frisbees, or even sticks, and will bring them back to you so you can throw them again.

Then let's go! I wanna see if it works.

Alright. I don't suppose you know where we can find a ball that'd fit in his mouth? Or maybe we should just hit an outdoor room and hope for a stick.

[it thinks but doesn't recall seeing any balls anywhere lately]

Maybe we'll try outdoors. There's lots of space to run around, too.

That sounds like a good idea to me. Should we go now?

Uh huh! Let's play a lot now before you and Apricot go away.

I don't think we're going anywhere, don't worry.

[why would they be going anywhere. :| off to an outdoor room now~. with the Replica in tow, of course.]

[the tiny Replica will be reaching out shyly to hold Kai's hand]

You will. Everyone does. It's okay.

[Kai squeezes his hand gently.]

Well, I won't. My older self is proof of that.

That's not what I meant.

[swinging hands~ swinging hands~]

Then what did you mean?

[he's okay with swinging hands~.]

You're gonna go away and leave me alone. Everyone does. You already have Axel and that weird Riku and Apricot. So you don't need me. No one does, so that's why they leave me alone. It's just like in the Castle. But it's okay. I'll get stronger and once I'm finished and 'Riku', people won't go away anymore. I'll even find someone else who's like Master, too, so that I can be happy.

[he's going to stop them so he can put his free hand on the Replica's shoulder, expression serious.]

Just because I have Axel, Apricot, Riku, and others, it doesn't mean I'm going to leave you. I've failed you in the past with this, and I feel terrible for it. You're my brother, my little bro, even if it's not by blood. I won't ever abandon you, and you're always welcome to hang out with me, even if it's not to do anything in particular. Okay?

[it doesn't look quite convinced about this, and it's quite obvious]

Okay.

[he sighs, but straightens and smiles.]

Right, let's get to an outdoor room.

Yeah, Apricot might be bored.

And we definitely wouldn't want that.

Nu uh. Because he might sit on us now and he's heavy.

Yep. At least he's not bony, though. That would be even more uncomfortable.
