[ The more things change, the more they stay the same, and things are changing. It's a bit like falling into Wonderland. For those from a universe where 'Ansem' destroyed entire worlds, they might it find familiar, reminiscent of the dark outskirts of the worlds leftover. Soras, especially, will find the way they scatter and melt into nothing familiar. The entire dressing room is shrinking. As the worlds unmerge and become their own, disconnected from the makeshift world around them, things are reverting back to how they were. The outermost walls of the apartment building are expanding, the actual apartments themselves shifting around like a Rubik's Cube, down one, to the side, turning in place. Some go tumbling like a box kicked down a flight of stairs. Houses are sliding closer, squashed together, yards shrinking to fit a uniform length.

When things stop and the dust settles, most people will find the result just as familiar. Anyone who's been here longer than a year surely will. We're back to the original layout of the dressing room; the endless apartments. There's no end in sight, but there's also no roof, and the hallways aren't pristine. Most of them look the same, or similar enough, but they still seem outdoors. Concrete sidewalks and round stone walkways in dirt roads, desert passages made of sand and stone, grassy halls lined with vines and flowers up doorframes, or wet, murky swamps with steps leading up to rooms. There are halls for where people live, but they're virtually indistinguishable from the other halls. The rooms where nothing is predictable. The houses are all along the same 'hall', winding in a large curve back to the main room, which is where all of the halls can be accessed, the main kitchen, and special doors to go to each and every World. All that remains from before is the river, winding through the halls.

Trams still run along the outskirts, because no matter how cluttered and tight things are again, the place really is endless.

And everywhere, everywhere there are colorful bubbles floating through the air, across water, even stuck in trees. Some are clear, some filled with colored smoke, and some dripping. They crackle like glass and burst into nothing when touched, hitting the one responsible for popping them with a spell. It's the New Year, after all. Has to start off with a bang. ]

{ ooc ; Happy New Year, DR! It was voted on a while back on LJ, and now it's happening. Maybe this fresh start (in more ways than one!) will stir in a little more life. As with tradition, spells are recycled during the New Year, so! The available spells to hit your character with are:

- age character up or down
- character speaks only the truth
- character becomes an animal or has animal traits
- fear spell (character undergoes their worst fears)
- love arrows (causes the character to fall in love with the first person they see)
- aphrodisiac (character becomes unbearably aroused, and stays that way without the help of another person)
- alignment swap (good becomes bad, bad becomes good, grey areas are up to you)
- power swap (element changes to opposite, or switches abilities with another character)
- body swap (two characters swap bodies)
- sex swap (physical sex changes)

Expect more spells soon! }

Yeah, I kinda noticed, too - there's one hall around here that turns into a beach, I think.

Good to know the beach hasn't completely disappeared.

Yeah... It'd be a shame to lose it. Probably there are beach rooms around the place, too.

That would be nice, even if it's not the same as having a wide open area...

Yeah... well, who knows? Maybe it's a really big room, like one of the old world-rooms.

Still a room. But definitely better than nothing.

Oh, I don't know. Might be an actual sky in there, now, if there is out in the halls.

Oh, true! That's so... so strange.

[She looks up, making a face before smiling.]

With luck we'll get to keep it.

Yeah... It's nice, having a sky again. Felt kind of cramped in the old room.

I hope I only ever have to imagine it.

[She laughs, then squeaks and covers her mouth when a bit of a goat's bleat comes out with the laughter. Yep, turning red now. My goodness.]

... Wow. Guess you did get something other than the ears. Sorry.

[He smiles sheepishly, looking around - if only for something to change the subject.]

Want to explore a little more?

...Sure, that sounds like a good idea.

[And it'll take her mind off the fact that she apparently bleats right now.]

Hmm... [He looks around for a moment before pointing.] This way, I guess? Watch out for bubbles.

Right. I'll let you know if one gets too close to you, too.

Thanks. Shall we, then?

We shall!

[She's actually pretty glad that she's going to get some company for familiarizing herself with this place. Again.]

[He's glad too, honestly. If only so she can watch out in case he sets himself on fire again. Maybe one of these days they'll meet in a way that isn't horribly awkward.]

[Maybe she should get a bucket of water to take with them just in case he does set himself on fire again!]

So...

So?

[He glances at her, expecting her to continue.]

Want to take turns asking questions so we can get to know each other better? I don't know about you, but I don't mind knowing stuff about the people I'm friends with.

Okay, sure. Why don't you go first?

Hmmmm. Why 'Nocturne'?

[That's definitely something she's curious about, though if it looks like he doesn't want to answer, she'll definitely say he doesn't need to!]

... Honestly? Because the first time I ran into one of my alternates, he'd been in the place first and called dibs on the name, so I picked part of my old Organization title. I didn't really start answering to it until I got a heart, though. Figured "Demyx" didn't really work as well when I wasn't a Nobody anymore.

[He has to think for a moment before he comes up with a question.] Did you and Sora and his pals make it back home? I got pulled out of my universe before I found out.

Mm, we did. Everything worked out well.

[Though she doesn't seem particularly happy despite that. She brightens immediately.]

What sort of world are you from?

Good to hear.

Oh, it's kind of a tropical place. Bunch of islands. Though I swear I used to see weird little fuzzy critters running around the place.

What about you? What's your world like?
