Someone is... scared?

[thirteenth_brat]

[A certain little blond Eevee is looking down the hall on one of the housing decks, as if he's just seen something run by or maybe he's looking for something? It's not really obvious what the case is, but what is obvious is that Roxas is visibly trembling. He takes a few steps back from the direction he's looking in before turning to run full tilt in the opposite direction. Cambot zooms after him, making a police siren noise to try to get his attention and see if maybe it can get him to explain what has him so worked up. He only acknowledges the robot's presence with a quick glance over his shoulder and doesn't stop running until he's on a different deck.

When he does stop, he's winded and still shaking.]

Wh-what was that?

[There's probably more to the situation than just that he saw something creepy, but he's too freaked out at the moment to really explain...]

What was what?

[thirteenth_brat]

Please tell me I'm not the only who even can see that...

A... thing. It looked like... like...

I'm not even sure...

[beforethemoon]

It's probably noth--

[Okay, no, given this place, it can't be nothing]

This place is probably just messing with you.

[thirteenth_brat]

I hope it's that simple. I doubt it, though...

[beforethemoon]

Whatever it is, it'll be gone by weeks end.

[milliondollarpipes]

...what'd you see?

[thirteenth_brat]

[Roxas takes a moment to try to get his nerves under control. It's bad enough that the thing he saw is probably best described as 'creepy as fuck' but something about it reminded him of the fake Twilight Town...]

I didn't get a clear look at it, but it kind of made me think of a glitched or staticy computer image...

[milliondollarpipes]

[...oh no. Not that. He can deal with absolutely anything, but not that again. He doesn't want to worry the kid, but by his tone of voice and the way his eyes went wide for a second, it's pretty clear he's alarmed.]

You alone down there, kid? [He's already airborne in a few quick flaps, coming to see for himself.]

[thirteenth_brat]

Except for Cambot, yeah.

[Okay, that just makes Roxas start getting nervous again... well, moreso than he was. Harvey knows something and when someone who knows something is concerned, it's usually safe to assume there's a good reason to be concerned.]

... This thing is dangerous, isn't it?

[eyeofwildtiger]

Geez... What did you see?

[thirteenth_brat]

I'm not sure...

[eyeofwildtiger]

[Starts roaming.] Was it another creature?

[thirteenth_brat]

It might have been.

[halfdarkened]

...You okay?

[thirteenth_brat]

I think so. Maybe.

[He's clearly not, though he is starting to calm down at least a little bit. And he's definitely not ready to admit precisely why this has freaked him out so thoroughly.]

[halfdarkened]

[Considering Riku was afraid of a certain color last week, he'll take this seriously.]

What did you see?

[thirteenth_brat]

I'm not even sure what it was. It was just... wrong.

[Truth be told, his major panic was caused partially by needing to find some evidence of whether or not he might actually still be in a simulation of some kind and partially by the thing just being unsettling. But Roxas is pretty sure he doesn't want to mention the former issue to Riku. Not right now. Though he might if Riku's persistent.]

[Namine looks like she's taken refuge in her room.]

You saw it, too?

[thirteenth_brat]

Yeah...

[Roxas still feels unsettled. Now he's worried, too. He starts to make his way to Namine's room.]

Are you okay?

[colorbymemory]

[She nods.]

Yeah, just a little surprised.

[Last week it was ghosts, now this.]

[thirteenth_brat]

Something... really feels wrong about that thing...

[And to be honest, Roxas is still shaking just a little bit. He stops by her door and looks around to make sure that thing isn't around. Normally, he'd shoo his Cambot away when he's visiting with someone, but right now, he'd rather have a channel open to call of help if it's needed.]

[skysmirror]

[The only thing that can keep up with an Eeevee at full tilt being another Eevee, Xion takes that form to run after and eventually find Roxas.]

What was that?

[thirteenth_brat]

[His heart's still pounding and he jumps about two feet when he hears a voice nearby. He settles down quickly enough when he realizes his company is a friend.]

I have no idea...

[skysmirror]

[She nearly jumps in surprise when he does. Once they've settled down, her expression turns serious.]

We'll figure it out.

[thirteenth_brat]

I hope so. How do we know it isn't like those shades?
