1st Shell - Open like a lemonade stand in summer
Who: Xion and open to errybody
Where: Xion's room/hallway, then around Pisces and Virgo wards
Summary: Xion arrives in Hinoto-Ri and engages in standard new arrival procedures, by which we mean gaining her bearings and getting supplies. And then derps about puppies.
Warnings: Probably nothing. Except puppies.
Xion stood before the door to the room she'd been assigned, holding her key and... just thinking. The only other place she'd had a room of her own was Disney Castle, and now this. She hasn't seen any sign of her friends thus far, though she isn't sure if it's too much to expect they'd come here. It was all strange and happening so fast and while a part of her was saying it was the right thing to do she still felt... buffeted around, moved faster than she was ready for.
There was just something so... permanent about getting a room of her own. She can leave if she wants but she still... It's ridiculous. She should just go in already. She's been standing there long enough it probably looks strange to people nearby. And yet still she's hesitating.
---
Later, Xion took to the streets, keeping a wary eye all around. She's not... actively hiding. She doesn't even have her coat on, since it would probably stick out. But she's still being careful. It sounded like this city was the kind of place where you would want to be anyway.
In the Virgo ward, she headed to a grocery store her way through food, and those who are more experienced might note that what she's collecting are foods that require little to no cooking. She also stopped at a more general convenience store, looking for other supplies she might need. It's strange for her, shopping like this - she's used to getting all of their supplies from a Moogle, usually, and it was still no more than they would really need for camping for a few days. How did one shop for furniture, or that sort of thing, given how bare her apartment was?
As she was walking back towards Pisces, though, she spotted something that made her stop, walk over and almost press her nose against the glass - it was a pet store, with some of their adoptable dogs in a display in the window.
It's probably the first time she's smiled since she arrived, but she can't help it. They're so cute-!

no subject
Namine told us. We've... been looking for you. And Terra. And... Ven. ["Ventus" was the name Namine had used, but "Ven" sounded right. Although Aqua was the only one of the three whom they'd even really had an idea where to start looking.
... oh right, Aqua wouldn't know who Namine was, right?
Or so Xion thinks] Namine... she's the one who found out about... what happened. Though... King Mickey helped us figure things out too.no subject
She blinks, eyes going wide for a brief moment before it begins to sink in. So at least in one reality... they were trying to find her, there would one day be a Light behind the perpetual Darkness that wasn't her own or the far-off and welcoming light of Kingdom Hearts...
Thank all for her sunglasses (her eyes still haven't gotten used to sunlight again), because it was at least hiding some of her tears of joy. No, no she wouldn't cry in front of the bitty... Nope.]
Mickey...
[He'd remembered her, too... even after all this time. How long has it been this time, a few more months? Perhaps even two years in addition to the last time she had awakened elsewhere, meaning it was likely six years for her since she had fallen into darkness in place of Terra and unfortunately Xehanort as well. And if what she could remember from her conversations with Riku back in the city of dreams, then he hadn't seen her, at that time, for ten years. Meaning it had at least been that long for the younger Keyblade bearer since...
No, that was not a tear falling down her cheek. You are tooootally hallucinating.]
Someone still remembers us, even after all this time...?
[G-give her a moment to regain her composure, Xion. Those words are a small glimmer of home she hasn't had in all this time and it's a little overwhelming at first.]
Sorry for the OU account but EXPRESSIOOOOOONS /shakesfist
She nods, solemnly]
Yeah. We found... the connection.
[In Sora. She's hesitant to go too in-depth here in the middle of a street with groceries in her arms. It's... a deeply personal sort of thing as is.]
There's... a lot of people who remember, actually. Especially Ven. [Because of Roxas, but that'll be complicated to explain as far as Xion believes.
But... that's not the big thing here. She swallows]
We're still looking but... we're trying to find you, and get you out, I promise. Me, Roxas and Axel, and Riku and Mickey too.
[The ones with black coats and/or corridors, essentially]
You say this like you are the only guilty one, here.
...Mm.
[She nods. For some reason, she seems to sober up a little. Right. She still has some time before anything like that happens, if her hunch is accurate.] And you'll be needing my help to find Ven...
[The fact that she knows all but one of them have one of those strange black coats at one point or another makes her wonder, but she'll ask that when they aren't in such a public place.]
...Would you like some help with those?
[After all, they were kind of heading the same way???]
