--d something happen?

It...must have.

[ A boy in blue and white with yellow wings poking through new holes in his top is sitting on the snow outside of the grocery shop, journal open on his lap. On either side of him are bags of food and toiletries that, formerly, he had been carrying

[flared]

Oi, Isa! Where the heck are you.

[voice]

[lunaticked]

Lea? Is that really you? I can't see you.

I'm on a street somewhere, but I've never seen any of these buildings before.

[voice]

[flared]

Yeah, it's me.

This whole place is weird. Man. Stay there, maybe I can find you.

[voice]

[lunaticked]

[ soft rustling; he's noticed where the voice is coming from and has knelt to pick up the journal. ]

I don't think weird is a strong enough word for it. Your voice is coming from a book.

[voice]

[soulbait]

[ . . . ]

This is no dream.

[voice]

[lunaticked]

Yeah, it's too solid for that.

But a dream would've been easier to explain.

[voice]

[soulbait]

That it would. [Light sigh] The reality is very odd indeed.

[voice]

[lunaticked]

But you sound really calm.

Is this normal for you...?

[voice]

[poppetry]

[ Xion happened to catch this prior to her own experiment shenanigans. So right now she's just sixteen years old and staring, though the journal, at the boy who will become the Nobody she hates so much.

it's unbelievably surreal.

Suddenly burning with curiosity over what Saix was like when he had a heart, Xion can't help but answer. ]

... hey, you okay?

[voice]

[lunaticked]

[ He's been better. He had known that he and Lea would go places - they'd decided that alread - but this hadn't been what he had in mind.

But he's trying to stay calm and doing a good job, his anxiety and uncertainly overly revealed by the way that he constantly has an arm over his shoulder, fingers curled around the raised bone of one of his wings. ] I'm...alright.

All of this is normal somehow, isn't it? I'm not sick or anything like that.

[voice]

[poppetry]

... no, you're not sick. You're just in Luceti. It's not a dream... this is a different world.

[voice]

[lunaticked]

A different world...

This shouldn't be possible. That's what everyone says.

[Action] why am I doing this 8|

[oda_hates_me]

[Sanji's on his way out of the grocery himself - madness or not, a crew's gotta eat - and he would've missed the teen if not for the vibrant blue hair that catches his attention.

... He looks cold.]

Oi, kid. It's practically winter. [This isn't a small child he's dealing with, so Sanji sounds frank in his delivery] You wanna freeze?

[Action] because you take pity on me

[lunaticked]

No. I don't.

[ And so he's shoving himself to his feet, jaw set in a determined line - his pale where he's not red from the cold, but that's all he let's through of his anxiety.

After a moment's uncertain hesitation, he stoops to pick up the journal, giving the bags a blank look before he turns determined eyes to Sanji. ] Where am I?

[Action] /pats the poor Rem u_u ... expect more FF13 bitching tonight 8|

[oda_hates_me]

[He eyes him Isa carefully. No recognition suddenly floods his face, and he wonders if this another victim of the experiment]

It's called Luceti. [he nods a store away, across the street] See that building? You can get a free coat and whatever else you need.

[Action] marie needs to come baaaaaaaack

[lunaticked]

Luceti.

I've never heard of it before. [ somehow that matters more than getting a coat - how far away must this be? how will he get himself and Lea back home? ]

[voice]

[risingwinds]

[BUHWHA?! But wasn't he just---]

Isa?

[voice]

[lunaticked]

...Ventus? [ He does remember him - how could he not?

He had a nice laugh, and put up with Lea's foolishness better than most. ] You were brought here, too?

[voice]

[risingwinds]

Yeah, I've been here for a couple of weeks now. Don't you remember?

[Then again, he is younger, so maybe he forgot? Man, this is confusing.]

[voice]

[lunaticked]

No...?

I only just got here. [ Ventus isn't the only one that's confused. ]
