[Not being able to move when she'd woken up had been a little scary, but not nearly as terrifying as the letters she'd found just after. The worlds, all of them, gone? They couldn't be... they couldn't! And yet, when she tried to open a darkness corridor to one of them, nothing happened.

She gets dressed from the clothes in her trunk, puts the hood of her black coat up, and after that, she heads out into the dormitory hallways, where she finds one of the network terminals. She may have been able to gain access to files she wasn't supposed to back in the World That Never Was, but it doesn't take much poking around on the device though to come to the conclusion that there's not much more information on what happened on the terminals here.

What was she going to do? What happened to Roxas and Axel, or even Riku? Was this somehow her fault?

At that point, she begins descending the stairs to the floors below, looking around briefly on each floor before continuing.

On floor 20, though, she stops. It's open to the air for the first time. It reminds her a little of the Clock Tower, though it was impossible to mistake the cold, overcast skies for warm, bright Twilight Town. Still, it's familiar, memories that are her own, and right now that familiarity is a comfort. She walks out to the edge and sits, legs hanging over as she stares out. Not that there's much to see.]

Comments

[attheclocktower]

She didn't say anything - didn't need to, since he'd gotten it right in one - just nodded quietly.

[savedbyasong]

Shion nodded back, he had been very disorientated when he had arrived and he still didn't understand what was going on. "The world hasn't ended..." He wasn't even sure about that but it seemed to be what everyone else had told him, and it was hope.

Nezumi would call him a naive airhead and would be right, but Shion preferred hope to despair.

[attheclocktower]

The only thing Xion had mainly been able to do so far had been to read the letters, so the picture was seeing wasn't a pretty one. It was just... so unreal. She had been created, so she wasn't really sure which world to call her own, but... all of the worlds she'd been to? Gone in an instant? How was that possible? And yet she couldn't use the darkness corridors to go anywhere, not even if she tried...

A part of her wanted to believe the worlds were okay, but she's not sure what to think.

"You really think they're okay?"

[savedbyasong]

Shion nodded, "I do, and so do most others here, it would be almost imposible for every single world that everyone comes from to end at the same time, and for this one to survive." He frowned, "And from what I've heard those who brought us here act more like captors than saviors."

[attheclocktower]

Xion hadn't gotten much in the way of information yet, besides the letters. It was true though, what this person had said, that it seemed strange.

"Yeah." There was still some hesitation, as she wasn't really sure what to believe for sure, but his words were giving her a little bit of hope.

The comment about their supposed saviors though, made her turn her head, frowning a little, "What do you mean?"

[savedbyasong]

Shion looked down, "They claim to have rescued us, yet I hear that they do not hesitate to hurt people here, that they have performed experiments on the those that are stuck here."

[attheclocktower]

Staring in slight shock, Xion grimaced, looking down herself. "That's... that's horrible. Why would they do something like that?" It just... it didn't make sense. Why save people only to hurt or experiment on them...?

[savedbyasong]

Shion shrugged, "I don't know... I don't know how people can be so cruel, or do such things... but I do not know much..."

[attheclocktower]

It looked like they were both at a loss. Xion pursed her lips. She needed to try and figure this out.

"Do you know where I can find my friends? They're named Roxas and Axel," she asked, finally.

[savedbyasong]

"Roxas?" Shion nodded, "I don't know if it is who you are talking about, but there is a man called Roxas here, he saved me..." He needed to find him and thank him, but hadn't seen him since.

[attheclocktower]

Xion blinked a little in confusion. The Roxas she knew was around her apparent age, no more than around 14 or 15. Still, she didn't know anybody else by that name... not that she knew a lot of people.

"Did... he have on a black coat, like mine?" she asked.

[savedbyasong]

Shion thought back and nodded once. "He did I think, I did not see him for long, there was a lot going on."

Talking of black coats hadn't Riku wore one, and told Shion not to tell any others who he saw in such coats about him, because they would try and hurt him. This girl didn't seem like somebody who would hurt another. He didn't mention it though, as he had promised.

[attheclocktower]

Normally that would be the case, yes. Even Roxas and Axel would probably have attacked Riku, back home. Here in the Tower, with the worlds possibly gone, or at least being cut off from them, things were a little more complicated. She still wouldn't have blamed Riku for wanting to keep his presence a secret.

Xion herself though, wouldn't hurt Riku, not willingly. Not after he'd helped her so much.

At the news that the Roxas this person met wore a black coat, she smiled, just a little bit.

"That might be him, then," she said hopefully.

[savedbyasong]

"I hope it is, is he one of your friends?" Shion hadn't seen him since but he was sure he was still here, there wasn't anywhere else to go although he had heard worrying rumours about about people disappearing from here.

[attheclocktower]

"He's my best friend," she nodded quietly, before adding with a faint smile, "Well, one of them."

Couldn't forget Axel, after all. It would be... well, easier, if one of her friends was here. Hopefully both, even.

[savedbyasong]

Shion smiled, "If I see him again I will tell him you are here." He hoepd she found him soon, if they were close friends. Friends were important, especially here.
