[ 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! }

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.

Peppers are pretty good, too.

[Not the spicy ones, though. She's okay with spicy, but those things are far from her favourite.]

Mhm. Especially fresh ones.

Yes! Anyway, what are your least favourite foods?

Uh, geez. Tough one. Honestly, I'm not sure I have one. I'll eat most things.

[She laughs a bit at that.]

Really? There's not anything you can think of?

Not really. I mean, it's not like I usually eat massive amounts anymore, but I really can't think of... Well, okay. Only thing I can think of is I don't like food that's cooked wrong - you know how sometimes you get cooked vegetables where they end up kind of slimy and most of the flavor's gone? I guess that doesn't really count, though. I mean, nobody likes bad food.

Mm, that makes sense. I'd be a little weird to like it when they ended up like that.

Yeah. I mean, I guess somebody probably does, somewhere, but they're weird. Then again, most people are, one way or another.

Speaking of... hm. What's one weird thing you can do?

One weird thing...?

[She thinks about that for a moment.]

Well, I'm double-jointed. Does that count? I'm not really all that special otherwise.

Hm. It's interesting, at least. I guess "weird" isn't really the best way to phrase the question. Got any talents?

Like I said... nothing special. I've only really started fighting recently, so I'm not even all that good at that. Not compared to Sora and Riku, anyway.

You'll probably catch up, no problem. They've just had more practice. Once you find a style that works for you you might even be able to beat them sometimes.

I hope so. Back home, they're both busy with some sort of big keyblade exam... thing, so I've got some time to catch up.

... I didn't know there were enough keyblades around for there to be an exam. There's, what, them and the King?

Actually... it's way more than that. According to Master Yen Sid, and the King as well, keybearers used to actually apprentice under true keyblade masters. They would take an exam when the master thought they were ready, and if they passed, they became true keyblade masters themselves. But some time ago, the last of them all... disappeared.

... Have you ever seen Star Wars? [Because Nocturne has just realized why this sounds familiar.]

But anyway, how are they taking the exam if all the keyblade masters are gone?

Master Yen Sid is giving it. I guess it's not right to say they all disappeared. Master Yen Sid 'retired'.
