Day 15 | ~ World's End Umbrella ~

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Like last time, Xion is searching out her friends. Anyone and everyone she talked to, all the people she met here -- She wants to meet with them, talk to them, find out if they're staying or leaving, say good-bye if it's the latter. Unlike last time, though, her spirits are higher. She can stay. She can stay and still be helpful, still search for the answers they've been looking for, stay and live, really live.

She's also searching for one person in particular. She has something to ask him -- to ask of him, to inform him of something, and she... Part of her is hopeful. Part of her is nervous. Another part of her... feels like she can't ask this of him. She shouldn't ask him to stay for her. She knows she's asking for Nathan, but that's what it feels like. She feels like she doesn't have the right to ask that of him. If he has something important to do at home, then she has no right at all. (If he has something important to do at home, and says no, then...) Xion takes a deep breath and lets it out. At the same time, she has to ask. She has to know. She has to find out for herself.

So, Luministi. How about one last conversation with Xion?]

If I go back home, then it's over for me. It was my choice, but that's how it is.

Besides... It's not that bad here. This is the first real home that I've ever had.

[painlessfighter]

[Natsuo doesn't quite understand. Xion doesn't have someone to go back to? Not even something?]

Yeah, it's not bad. It's just weird, and Youji's not here, so I'm going home. But hey! It's home for you. So you're already home then.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Sort of. It's complicated, okay ;; And to be entirely honest... Xion doesn't know how Natsuo would react to all of it. So, best to play it safe.]

You're right.

[painlessfighter]

[Probably a good call.]

Then you don't have to worry about moving stuff. [He makes a wrinkly-nosed face as he inclines his head toward the bag of stuff he's pilfering. But then, he remembers a conversation they had before, and his expression lights up a bit.]

Hey. Xion. Is your room here going to have more stuff than your old room?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Anything I need, I have on me. [Xion pats her Organization-issued Backpack (complete with all the extensions! it's nice being an end-game character).]

I... [She smiles sheepishly.] I don't know how often I'll be here. But... Yes! If I have a room proper, then I'll put all sorts of stuff in it. I have you and Sophie to thank for that. Now I know the kinds of things a girl should put in her bedroom.

[lalalala guess who hasn't noticed she just slipped up]

1/3

[painlessfighter]

[Firm nod!] Good. Rooms shouldn't be that plain-

[painlessfighter]

[painlessfighter]

You're a girl?!

3/3

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Ahhhhhh! I can't believe I just said that!

[painlessfighter]

How are you a girl?! You look like a boy!

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I -- I'm -- It's a long story like I said okay!

[painlessfighter]

[He stares. For a long, awkward moment.]

... ...

Do you like looking like a boy or something?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

N-No! It's nothing like that!

[painlessfighter]

Oh.

[Another pause, a little staring... And then he steps forward, attempting to grab Xion's boob with one hand. Of course, that's kind of hard since there's not really anything there, but that's not keeping him from trying.]

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[..........] What are you doing?

[painlessfighter]

I guess you just have a flat chest. [Shruuuug~]

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Huh? Of course I do. I'm in a boy's body.

[painlessfighter]

[Processing... ... yeah, no. Attempt two... ... Nope, not happening. Natsuo whines.]

I don't get it!

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[sdkfjsd she's starting to feel bad. but how can she explain this?]

... If you really want, I can tell you the whole story. I don't really know how to explain it otherwise. I guess I could say... I came into the worlds as a girl, but because of the same reason why I can't go back home, I'm now stuck in the body of this boy. That's a really simplified version.

[painlessfighter]

[He does want to understand, but he doesn't really want to sit through a long explanation, involving worlds he doesn't know about (which is another concept he doesn't really understand)... but the brief summary does help. A little. So he just shakes his head.]

So it must be kind of weird. Right? [pause] Should I call you a girl or a boy?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I guess so, but... I'm more or less used to it now.

Um... I... I don't know. [How does this sort of thing work?]

[painlessfighter]

Well, if you don't know, then I don't know. But I guess that's okay.

Is it a secret? I can keep a secret. [... Actually, the jury's out on that one.]

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I still call myself a girl... Does that help? [:|a]

[^^;] No... Not really. It just doesn't usually come up, and it hasn't really been important. Not a lot of people know. Sophie, Fuu, the Doctor... So, I guess, my closest friends here know.
