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.]

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.]

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? [Sora is starting to get worried...]

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

[Xion blinks in surprise. She hadn't thought he could hear her speaking that softly.

Hoping it'll make her explanation easier, she twitches her hand to summon the Keyblade. When it doesn't appear, there's a brief moment of panic, before she remembers that the robot had said any special items like that wouldn't appear here. Then she just looks tired, and a little sad, not quite meeting Sora's gaze.]

They only needed one of us for their plan. Him or me. So I left. I thought he'd be safe then.

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

I...don't really get it, but... [But less people working for the Organization is always good. And it sounds like they really needed to anyway.]

But I'm glad you left!

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

[Sora, you have no idea. Still, that earns you a small, but genuine smile.

Now that's settled for the moment, she's curious about one thing.]

How do you know Axel and Roxas?

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

[That's a really tough question, too...Sora doesn't really want to bring up all the BAD things that Axel did to him and his friends. At least, not just yet, especially since he died and all.]

Axel...we ran into him a few times when we were fighting against the Organization. He was the one that let us into the World That Never Was.

And...I guess Roxas was my Nobody.

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

[Axel left too? What about Roxas? Axel had promised to look out for him...]

They were together? They left, too?

[Surprised and maybe a bit worried here.]

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

Uhh...no. I never saw them together. [He never really saw Roxas at all, except for in his heart, and right before they fought Xemnas...]

I...don't think Axel had really left the Organization? I think he was just trying to stop them while still being in there.

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

Oh...

[This is confusing, and she's worried. What she wants most right now, though, is a place to think. Alone.]

Thanks, Sora. I think I need some rest, now.

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, that isn't exactly good news...]

There's still extra rooms on the deck we're on?

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

[She gives him a small smile, and hopes he'll be as kind to her once he knows the truth.]

Which deck is that?

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

[He smiles back, because, well...likewise on his part.]

Deck Two!

[skysmirror.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[Cambot follows her as she goes on a housing hunt.]
