Something is destroying worlds again.

Is it the darkness? Or the Organization...? Or some other threat? The note didn't explain what happened, and she even turned it over to look on the back.

(She thinks that the reason why she couldn't move when she first woke up has everything to do with being brought from the Deep Jungle to this world, whatever it is. She doesn't know why she saw the things she thinks she saw -- because for that time, which felt like forever, she thought she was in a pod, like Sora, like when Xemnas reprogrammed her, like when she was being created, but the faces outside the pod were fuzzy and even though she tried to fight her way out or call or yell or scream for help, because she can't move or breathe help please anyone can't you hear me -- but... but. She's pushing those things to the back of her mind. There are more important things to think about right now.)

There's some kind of network, she knows... and there are a lot of people here. Which means there are a lot of worlds that have been destroyed. Her hands tighten into fists at her sides. Is this her fault? Is this happening because Sora's still asleep? Her stomach churns. No... Don't jump to any conclusions. Do reconnaissance. Find out more about what's going on first. I'm sure someone has an idea...

Her stomach growls. Wasn't it just upset a few moments ago? Maybe she's really just that hungry... But... Where is she supposed to go to eat around here?

And where is she? How does she get back to her room?

Uh-oh.

Hello, Tower of Animus. There's a Sora walking around in an Organization coat looking incredibly lost and confused. ... and hungry. What do?

She can't help but flinch at Roxas' name. Normally she's better at keeping it together, but -- but... all things considered... with the things she was trying to say, and trying not to say, and with Axel standing in front of her... Her emotions feel too raw for her to not react.

Ice cream... She manages a laugh that isn't too weak. "I think I saw where they store it, yeah." She goes ahead and turns back towards it.

... she... still has a question, though. Something about what he said...

"What... do you mean, putting the pieces together?"

He caught the flinch, but didn't ask. There's still a lot he was unsure about--had she and Roxas had some kind of argument before she got here? The other Xion hadn't indicated anything to the effect, in any case. Well, he wasn't going to ask. Axel wasn't prone to censoring himself, but he knew when to err on the side of tactful.

Shoving his hands into his pockets he fell into step flanking her.

"Mm? Mm... well, I mean I still can't really remember everything," he said, pulling one hand from his pocket to rub his crown, half a grimace gracing his expression. "I always feel like everything's on the tip of my tongue, but I can never quite wrap my head around it, you know?"

There were images, sounds, snippets of conversation... things that really made no sense without someone else being there, but he couldn't conjure her face into the memories.

"Can't... remember?"

Xion stops walking. She can't help it. Automatically, her mind jumps back to the conversation she had with Naminé, back at the abandoned manor in Twilight Town. About what would happen after she returned to Sora.

"What... What are you talking about?"

[ooc: it's okay ♥ I understand, it's all cool. anyway, either way works for me! discussing would probably be easiest, but I'm willing to play it out, too]
