Day 26 - Attempted Private Text to Xion/sort of hackable

[seasaltkeys]

Hey

Namine and I are on Route 36. We should be in Violet by tomorrow.

Where are you?

Comments

[Action] sounds good

[Namine nods at the ebony-haired girl's greeting, Salty idly playing with her fingers on her lap. She lets the egg pokemon do what it wants, focusing her attention on them.]

Mm.

[There's a pause as she stares at the top of her pokemon's head. She'll. Cut to the chase.]

What... do you want to know?

[And it feels like she's back in the White Room once again, sitting on the chair at the end of the table LIKE A BOSS and providing them the answers that would definitely result to more questions. This was a feeling she definitely didn't miss in Johto, and Salty senses it, stopping to peek up at her trainer :o]

[Action] OMG I am so sorry for this being late! D:

[ Xion watches Axel run up to the Togepi and greet himself to the other Pokemon. Then she glances at Roxas, waiting with a feeling of constriction in her chest as to what he'd ask. ]

[Action]

[There's a Pikachu joining you as well. He'll just plop himself down in the middle 'cause he can]

So...what is the big secret? What do you have to tell me?

[It's not really addressed to anyone specific. It's just there]

[Action]

[She glances at the other girl for a quick second before occupying herself in filling another dishbowl for Axel, not meeting their gazes.]

Like I told you before, about a year ago, I had to fix Sora's memories.

[Action]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ Xion opens her mouth to speak, thinks for a moment, then stops altogether. How can she word this...? Where could she start herself, for that matter? ]

But there were some that were missing, leaked out into another. [ She takes a brief breath. ] Into me.

[Action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

So, Xion...you're like, another part of Sora? But what does that have to do with me?

[Action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[Basically, Roxas, she's your other Keyblade--]

You already know that... you're best friends, right?

[The floor is yours, Xion. She can only explain so much. ]

[Action]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ She's quiet for a moment while she thinks up a response to that. ]

Those leaked memories... they were coming from you to me, Roxas. It was making you weaker as the days went by, every moment when I was near you.

And then I found out what I was, what my true purpose for being was... and I couldn't allow that to happen. I had to make a choice.

[Action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Your true purpose? [Roxas does not like the sound of that]

[Action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

You're right. She's connected to Sora.

... because she was meant to be a replica of him.

[And suddenly, this conversation just got more awkward.]

[Action]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ Xion's expression takes on a look of regret, mainly thinking about forcing Roxas to fight her, though it was for his own benefit. ]

... If Sora wasn't going to cooperate with them... it was you or me.

[Action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[The words are caught in Roxas's throat. It's weird, because he should know all this and yet it's completely new information. And slowly, things are starting to make sense in his mind, but still...it always comes back to Sora]

So, when I left the Organization, part of it was because I found out, about all this. But still, that doesn't explain why I don't remember anything.

[Action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[Here's where she comes in.]

Everything that constitutes her, most of her memories, even her appearance... They're originally Sora's. Sora's memories.

Meaning if she went back to Sora, no one would remember her.

[Her eyes droop down.]

Even I can't do anything about it. Even a memory of her, I can't save it...

[Action]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ She reaches out to Namine, but stops, dropping her hand. ]

Please, Namine. Don't feel bad about this; it was my choice, anyway.

[ Xion then looks Roxas. ] I... I had make you do it.

[Action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Make me do what?

[Action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[... Xion, you're getting a hug from her later, okay ):

She remains quiet, eyes remaining downcast.]

[Action]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Put an end to me.

[Action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[At this, Roxas almost stumbles backwards. He had fought Xion as well? That was two friends that he'd fought now. He looks down at the ground, really not sure what to say. There's a long pause]

So, after I...that, you went back to Sora I guess?

[Action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

... not really.

[She's looking at him now meaningfully. Haven't you ever wondered why you can suddenly wield, well, in Axel's words, TWO?!]

[Action]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

I... I don't know. I guess, considering...

[ She's looking pointedly at Namine. Since she's from the moment she disappears, and she found herself here, even she's unsure. ]

[Action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Roxas looks at Namine]

Is that...what happens?

[Action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

...

[Just when she thought she could escape being the exposition machine.]

Roxas, haven't you ever wondered why you were suddenly able to wield two Keyblades?

[Action]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ Now Xion looks a little surprised at that. ]

Two?

[Action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

[putting two and two together now. If Xion didn't go to Sora after...that, then she must have gone to him...and cause she could wield a keyblade to then...]

So, Xion, you're...my second keyblade.

[And for some reason, he's alright with that knowledge. It means she's always been with him, and now it's all making sense]

[Action]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[And she turns to the other girl helpfully.]

After you fought, he obtained the ability to wield two Keyblades. Normally, wielders can only wield one at a time. He absorbed your ability, at least.
