[first things first: he's definitely not outdoors anymore]

[and then there's the whole deal with the softness at his back and head that feels suspiciously like, well... a bed]

[he keeps his eyes closed]

Hey, you know, when they said death was like falling asleep, I don't think this is what they meant.

[This voice was one Roxas wasn't about to forget any time soon. Still, he holds the phone in shock for several seconds before he finally collects himself.]

You!

[... nope, not ringing any bells here, Anger Management]

--What's your problem?

I'm not in a good mood either, you know, so you'd better have a good answer.

Why should I answer any of YOUR questions?

[Siiigh; okay, he sounds a bit less completely pissed off now.] So you ended up here, too. Great...

[... hey, that voice she heard before the phone was grabbed -- is that...]

[Sorry, Replica, Xion's gonna kind of get in your space so her voice can be heard] Roxas? Is that you?

Hello?

[he's even more on edge now than he was waking up, which is saying something, and you can hear it]

Yeah?

You just woke up here, right? What's your name?

faaaake March 29 2010, 06:03:52 UTC
Something like that.

[... see, the name thing's a bit of a stumbling block] I-- Why should I tell some person I can't even see?

And who exactly are you talking to?

faaaake March 27 2010, 07:54:03 UTC
[after some time...]

And what's it to you?

Nothing. But you asked, so I figured you might want to be more specific.

faaaake March 29 2010, 06:05:35 UTC
I wasn't asking you. This stupid phone must've done something, I don't remember dialing it.

[Xion opens her eyes.]

[... ? That... can't be right. She doesn't even have eyes to open any more.

She's in a room. It has pink walls. It's dark. The air is still and silent. She's lying in a soft bed, and it's warm and comfortable.

She's alive. How...?]

[Xion sits up slowly. It's... the most colorful bedroom she's ever seen, and very... well. Girly.

She slides out of bed. She's wearing soft pajamas (the one on the left) and the floor is cold under her bare feet. Everything feels so... surreal. But then, this isn't real, isn't it? It's just a dream, or something. Maybe in Sora's heart, the only thing left for her to do is dream. (She didn't think there'd be enough of her left ( ... )

[He hasn't really trashed the room, but it wasn't neat in the first place, so now it just looks like a minor hurricane hit what was already on the floor.

In the pause in which they register each other, in fact, a few more things (books, knickknacks -- there are a lot of those) go sliding, unnoticed.]

No. I'm--

[The Replica pauses, gaze hard on the unfamiliar offender but words faltering -- nothing to correct to, after all, is there?]

--not much of anybody. [He laughs, nothing funny in it.] But definitely not him.

... what? But, then, who are you?

[Xion wonders why she's so calm -- but then, what's there to not be calm about? This is either a dream, so there's no need to get all bothered... or it's Sora's heart, and so... maybe this is a memory, or this Riku -- not-Riku -- is a memory. Nothing to not be calm about, right?]

[Have a shrug.] Just a really good copy.

[The Replica's still trying to figure out if this is some weird kind of afterlife -- sure, Riku said something about it, but not even Riku had believed what he said; his Replica would know.

And of course he'd still have Riku's face here. Couldn't get away from that one even if his fake Heart gave it a good shot, apparently.]

[ Zexion.... was not expecting voices ]

[ He feels something odd, like something has changed (or like he couldn't remember if he left the stove on or something), but he thinks nothing of it-- after all, this whole situation has been bizarre-- and hangs up the phone to check out how "normal" normal is supposed to be ]

[ knock knock dude ]

...You do not look like your portrait.

[ he glances over-- ok, wait-- she wasn't there before-- and neither was-- ]

[ but slightly less dramatic ]

[The knocks have already sent him into high alert, and he's grabbed the nearest blunt object (a... telescope?) and swung it towards the door by the time it opens.

Zexion's reaction would have made him laugh if he weren't just as shocked.]

... You!
