[ 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! }

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?

[There's thankfully no bleating this time when she laughs.]

Well, it was... a tropical place. Bunch of islands. That's where I grew up, at least, but it's not where I was born. That would be Radiant Garden.

If you hadn't become a Nobody, what would you have done? Like, getting a job, or going to school?

[He looks a little surprised - whether at the description of Destiny Islands or at hearing she was born in Radiant Garden is hard to say.]

... I don't know, really. Probably college, or a job. I was actually kind of a jerk before I lost my heart.

Really? That seems hard to believe.

[He's certainly not a jerk now, after all.]

Yeah. I mean, I'm sort of a different person now. You ever meet Roxas? You can see it between him and Sora, kind of. Not as much, but a little.

Hm, I never really thought about it. They've got so many similarities when it comes down to it, I never thought there could be that big a difference between a Nobody and who they used to be.

Eh, maybe it's just because I never met Sora that much. I dunno, Roxas is... more serious or something.

Anyway, uh, think it's your turn?

Only if asking me if I met Roxas counted.

... Did it?

[He hopes it did, because he's having trouble thinking of another question.]

I guess it could. How about something less serious... What sort of foods do you like?

Hmm... Well, I like pineapples. Pizza, too, but not pineapples on pizza. Can't really get that to cook in a way that's good for the pineapple.

What about you?

Hmm. I'm actually really fond of vegetables! Doesn't matter what kind. I'm not a vegetarian or anything, though.

Hm... really? Have a favorite?

Hmmm. A favourite?

[Give her a second to ponder this!]

Sweet potatoes are pretty good.

Yeah, I think we can agree on that one.
