[ Today, you are having a perfectly normal day. Perhaps you are on your way to the battle dome. Perhaps you're walking home along the path. Perhaps you're in the middle of town. Or perhaps you're heading further north

[Oof! That was unexpected. Even though Ven nearly face-planted in the ground, when he looks up at Xion, he's not angry or frustrated.

Just a little concerned.]

Xion! Are you okay?

[poppetry]

[ She scrambles back from him, still a bit wild about the eyes for a moment... but then she lowers the hand she'd raised to cover her heart, shaking her head. ]

... Ven? [ she glances off to the side ] Where...

[risingwinds]

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

Sorry. I was just heading to the battle dome to get in some practice.

[poppetry]

The... [ she looks back over her shoulder. And yup, there it is; the Battle Dome, not thirty feet away.

After a quiet moment of staring at the structure, she shakes her head and looks at him again. ] Oh, Ven, I'm sorry. I wasn't even paying attention to where I was going. All I was thinking about was getting home. [ Away from the Malnosso. ]

[soracles]

[someone is still a slight bit slow-going, however, 95 percent is plenty good enough for Sora to venture out on his own. bakeries need invading and all that.]

[but 95 percent still isn't 100 percent. in any case, that may attribute to the reason why Sora winds up flat on his rear when Xion crashes right into him, oof.]

What-- ow!

[poppetry]

Ow...

[ She says it at the same time he does, without realizing it. She's a bit tangled up with him as a result of their fall, though she immediately pushes back, as if she intends to scramble away and keep running...

... and then she sees who it is, and freezes. ]

Sora?!

[ Only shock is keeping her from tackling him to the ground with a hug. Thank goodness for small favors. She'll come to her senses in a moment. ]

[soracles]

Xi-- [and then he breaks into a big grin.]

I was starting to get worried! Are you okay?

[poppetry]

Worried? That's the question I should be asking you! [ Her smile is shaky, and faint, but it's there. She can't help but lean around to take a look at his wings before glancing up at his face again. ] I'm fine! Are you? [ A question with deeper implications than the immediate collision. ]

[not_a_bluesbro]

[How about just running into a brick wall? Because that's kind of what it's like, to run into a preacher and a cross. My muscular torso is like a painful trampoline, y/n?]

Oh-

Xion?

[Sorry, people'll've been going missing so often, he can't keep track of when others are 'napped. He suddenly realizes you included.]

[poppetry]

[ ................. OW!!!!!

She's knocked flat on her butt and left pretty dazed. ] Ouch....

[ Give her a moment to recover, Wolfwood. You're far away the least forgiving thing she's run into all day! ]

[not_a_bluesbro]

Are you okay, kiddo?

[He puts a hand out to help her up, once she has her head on straight.]

If I'd known you decided to be a human missile, I would've kept an eye out to move out of your way.

[poppetry]

... Wolfwood?! [ Wow, she did not realize she had run into a person instead of A MOVING BRICK WALL.

She gives her head a shake, though, and smiles. It's really nice to see him, actually. --for the precise reason that's making her smile right now as she takes his hand and climbs back to her feet. ] I didn't decide anything like that! I just felt like I had to get away from something. The Malnosso must have... [ a pause, and then she shakes her head. Either way, I'm okay now. Sorry for running into you like that.

[poppetry]

[ She pushes up on her hands with a groan. Man, oof is right...

Then she looks up at the sound of her name, and blinks. ] Hiccup? [ Looks to the side.... ] Toothless!

[ And ... all their groceries. Oh gosh. She immediately looks apologetic. ] Oh... I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going! Are you okay?

[ She'll climb to her feet, picking up some displaced produce as she does so, but she's watching Hiccup with concern. ]

[antlioncyclone]

[CRITICAL HIT where did that come fro-?!

oh, Xion

wait, Xion??]

[poppetry]

M-Mewtwo? [ She's startled, but she at least registers he's there. Sorry about that, bro. ]

[antlioncyclone]

[Where have you been?...no, wait, Malnosso. That's sort of a given.

Inquisitive stare, concerned tail-flick.]

[poppetry]

... hey. [ She unconsciously smooths her dress as she looks around. ] We're in the village, huh... I hadn't even noticed the change. [ From what? She won't say, exactly, but she will shake her head. ] The Malnosso just let me go. I'm fine, though, I promise.
