Mission 1

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

[Cambot zeroes in on yet another new person! This one is wearing a hood, so he accepts the challenge offered and tries to zoom in on their face. The newcomer raises a hand and, as the feed goes black, it’s apparent Cambot’s lens has been covered or he’s been turned off. The feed resumes quickly though, and from the movement of the hood it’s fairly obvious whoever has just arrived is shaking their head--they don’t want their face seen?

They didn’t say anything about following, though, so as the newcomer begins walking again, Cambot cues up “Men in Black” and falls in line.]

[Wait a minute, that's an Organization coat! Did one of the Organization end up here, too? He didn't want to deal with them. He's instantly on guard.]

Who're you?!

[Of all the people Xion thought she might find here, Sora was one of the last on the list. She takes a few steps back in surprise, then swallows hard and takes a deep breath to collect herself before she speaks.]

Xion.

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

[That was...not really the reaction he was expecting at all. MAYbe from Demyx, but this definitely isn't Demyx. Sora is confused for awhile.]

Um...why've you got that hood up?

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

[The question makes Xion pause--she hadn't thought about it much before.]

I...I'm used to it, I guess.

[She straightens and takes a step forward.]

You're Sora, right?

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

Oh. I mean, um... [He trails off. He means more why she is hiding her face, but that's awkward to say right now.]

Yeah, but...how'd you know my name?

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

[Hoboy. How to explain everything. In this case maybe simple is best.]

Axel told me.

[Well, he had confirmed that one time she saw Roxas as someone else, that someone else was Sora, so it's not totally a lie.

Now that she thinks about it, maybe she doesn't have to keep her hood up around Sora. She'd been ready to return to him after all.]

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

[She reaches up and brushes her hood back. Hope you like what you see, Sora.]

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

You know Axel?

[And then the hood comes off, and Sora is visible surprised. She...looks a lot like Kairi, except not quite, because her hair is black. And it kind of sounds like her, too. This isn't at all like the deal with Lea or Isa. Except she can't be Kairi's Nobody, because that's Namine. So what's he supposed to do?]

Uhhh...

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

He's one of my best friends. [She can tell Sora that much, right?]

[She chews her lip nervously as she waits for him to respond to her appearance. She doesn't want to look away, but this is awkward.]

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

Best friend? [Does she know that Axel died? That wouldn't be good news at all! And would that count since a younger-looking not-Axel is here, too? He doesn't want to bring that up about Axel. But hey...didn't Axel also say he was best friends with Roxas?] Do...do you know Roxas, too?

[He still doesn't know what to say about her appearance. He doesn't want to be MEAN or anything, or make her upset.] You look really familiar...

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes widen a bit at the mention of Roxas.] Yes, we were all best friends.

[She relaxes a bit at that--of course she'd look familiar. Still, she doesn't want to go into details here.] Really?

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

[And then he remembers that Roxas isn't here, either, since last he saw he ended up back in Sora's heart...how to explain THAT part?] But you weren't in the Organization?

[And Sora isn't sure if he should go into details either, but he's confused and doesn't want to stay confused...] Yeah. You look a lot like Kairi.

*fails at toggling between accounts*

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

[The simple version of events is best.] I left.

[She guessed as much, but is trying not to let on.] Kairi? A friend of yours.

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

Why? [Sora wasn't even aware you COULD do that...otherwise, wouldn't Axel have just left it?]

[But, let on a little bit there...] Yeah. How'd you know?

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

Roxas...was in trouble. I left to get help. [Which is true, in a way.]

[Curse her lack of acting ability.] It was just a guess...

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

What sort of trouble? Help from who?

Pretty good guess. [Especially considering you look just like her, Xion!]

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

They didn't need both of us...

[Xion takes a deep breath to steady herself. She's trying to find the words to explain herself, but they aren't coming--especially since she's very aware of the camera recording everything.

All in all, this is not how she was expecting this meeting to happen.]

Late threadjack is late--sorry!

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

[Namine looks worried]

Sora...There wasn't anyone in the Organization named Xion.

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

Oh... [That's right, Riku and the King were wearing those coats, too, and they weren't in the Organization.]

I just saw the coat, and I thought she was...

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

Me, too, but...I don't remember her at all. Not as part of the Organization, or helping Riku and DiZ.

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

Well that's...weird. But she said she was best friends with Axel and Roxas, and they were in the Organization...

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

[She nods] We'll figure it out.

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

I hope soon. This weird time stuff is bad enough as it is!

[colorbymemory.livejournal.com]

[You've got that right.] I don't think she means any harm...

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think so either...
