with biggest steps I'm running // after her I will run

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

[He's running around, frantically opening up every door of any room, cabinet, or shelf he comes across, looking inside with worry before moving on] Namine! Namine, where are you?!

((OOC: He's looking for memory_forger, but feel free to respond regardless :D ))

I still haven't found her yet.

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

We'll find her, don't worry. [He gives her a reassuring smile]

...we need to put a "Lost and Found People" section in this dressing room.

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

Are that many people getting lost? I saw some like that for Aqua, maybe I should do the same..?

[key-of-future.livejournal.com]

It'll make things easier around here, at least.

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

I'll check a few more places before I start putting up posters plus I don't have a picture of her and my drawing skills suck.

[sepia-heart.livejournal.com]

Ven, dear? What seems to be the problem?

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

Sorry, Grandma, I don't have time to chat, but I'm looking for someone. She's in bad shape right now. I'll talk to you later, though!

[sepia-heart.livejournal.com]

Oh my. Go on ahead, then.

[Look who's sitting somewhere in the green house, bare feet dipped in the fountain she's sitting on the edge of, staring absent-mindedly at the water. Her hood's already lowered.]

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

[He should have thought to come to the greenhouse earlier; opening the stained glass door, he sees her inside, and nearly sags with relief. He rushes up next to her, panting a little from all the running around he's been doing.]

Sorry it took me so long, Namine. Are you.. you doing OK? Another you, she said some stuff has been going on, and I'm not sure what she's talking about, but.. if you want, I'm here to listen. And help.

[memory-forger.livejournal.com]

[It takes some time for her brain to register that there's someone else with her in there, muddled already by her hangover and thoughts. For a minute, she thinks he's another Roxas, and she just stares at him blankly and lifelessly before another name strays from her mind]

...Ven?

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

[Any relief he felt at finding her vanishes at the look on her face; the empty gaze in her eyes, the haunting expression, it doesn't fit her at all. He unconsciously softens his voice, taking a seat next to her.]

Yeah, it's me. Namine, what's been going on? Please talk to me.

[memory-forger.livejournal.com]

[When her brain finally registers it's him, her arms instinctively flung around him, burying her face in his shoulder but doesn't say anything]

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

[He's surprised, but his arms easily embrace her, holding her tightly. He doesn't know what to say, so he stays quiet; when she wants to talk, she'll speak up, right?]

[artistic-wizard.livejournal.com]

[Slightly confused, but wants to be helpful]

Yes? What is it?

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

Na-! Um, sorry, wrong one.

Have you seen a Namine wearing a black coat? And a checkered wristband? She might be looking kinda down.

[artistic-wizard.livejournal.com]

Hmm...

No, I haven't, but I'll be on the lookout.

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much; if you see her, tell her I'm looking for her, OK? I'll be there soon.

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, um.. Sora, right? Have you seen Namine?

[atotalsap.livejournal.com]

Uh--



Not within the past few days, no.

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

Damn.. Sorry, I gotta run! [he bolts off, continuing to look for her]

[somnolently.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[owwie-my-head.livejournal.com]

[Yes, he found her-! No, another false alarm. He's getting better at telling them apart, though.]

Sorry, I'm looking for another Namine. Uh, black coat, checkered wristband? She's upset at the moment.. have you seen her?
