Open sesame~

Characters: Roxas, his roomies, and anyone else who pokes their head in.
Setting: Room 1-16.
Format: Starting prose, matching you~
Summary: Hey, there's a new, occupied room on the floor- and it seems to be full of...yawning?
Warnings: Rox is the master of being oblivious. Also, Ven may potentially threadhop any comment thread on this entry, fair warning ~~because Plus is all skurred to post her own entry trololololo~~.

It took him quite a moment to realize he was awake in the proper sense of the word, really. He sure didn't feel it, and frankly was between drowsy and stiff, a deep ache setting in his muscles. It only took a few moments to sort of remember why- he'd fallen off the tower, hadn't he...? Oh damn, oh geez- 'Am I alive...?' The boy opened his eyes sluggishly, taking in the sight of a stark white ceiling. Took a deep breath. Yep, alive. Then, when he felt like he could move...rolled on to his side and yawned, closing his eyes again. Obviously he was in the hospital. Not, that he'd been to the hospital before- but where else could he be? It wasn't like he could fall off a tower and not be hurt somehow. It was probably better to not get up and do too much.

"...figures." The word was pretty stark in the otherwise-quiet seeming room. He hadn't bothered to check his surroundings or wonder any further. It never seemed to occur to him that there could be anything else going on at all...

"Then why do you look like- whoa!!" WIND. WAS NOT EXPECTING WIND. Being the manly and rational person Rox was at the moment, he basically held his arms up to block, as if the pillow was going to ricochet back with the force of a garbage bin flying down the hill.

Naturally, the best idea in this situation was to scramble out of bed and skitter to the other side of the neutral guy's bed, keeping Eiji between him and the doppelganger.

It was only when he heard Eiji speak up that he went to the nearby corner and swiped Ven's letters from where they'd been blown, hesitantly reading them privately...with a growing look of bewilderment.

Yes, let's put the potential berserker between yourself and the guy blasting wind spells. There's no way this can go wrong.

The wind gust's bleed-off made the papers he was holding rustle a bit, and he looked up, giving Ven a strange look. Was this kid a Greeed?

"Um... The papers, they say my world is gone..." he says, though it's quiet - he's still a bit shellshocked by this prospect.

Ven grinned in triumph when Roxas cut himself off (though, his intention hadn't been to scare the guy..), although it quickly left as he returned to seriousness. "I don't know why you look like me," adamant phrasing go! That look of course quickly evolved into an awkward one when he caught Eiji's look. Maybe magic was an oddity on this world...?

And then that look evolved some more into a frown. "Gone? What do you mean 'gone'?" Could a world just be gone?

Luckily for the other blonde, Ven was too preoccupied to realize Roxas was reading his letters, or that they were his letters at all.

After reading the 'borrowed' letters, Rox dropped them back on the other blonde's bed, being a bit hesitant to get too close.

"Those ones do too." He noticed papers by his own bed, but wasn't sure if he had the guts to read it. It, was probably irrelevant if two of three said the same thing.

"You really don't know why we look alike?" This didn't seem like the sort of thing people lied about. "You're...uh, Ventus, right?" Well so it said in the letter.

Eiji shook his head, still trying to come to grips with this. He was just there - there wasn't any way Dr. Maki could have done this already, was there? He'd allied with Cazali, but there was no way they would've been able to do that so quickly...

Wait, these two didn't know each other?

"...you're twins, aren't you?"

"Of course I don't." Ven said, slightly exasperated, a tad sad, but glad Roxas at least got the picture and wasn't throwing more pillows at him.

He looked up confusedly however, at Eiji. "Twins?" Dang, he hadn't even though of that. "No, I don't have any siblings. We've never met before." He added awkwardly.

"Huh?" Ven turned to Roxas when he said his name. "Um, yeah that's me. How'd you know that?"

A moment later something seemed to click in his mind when Roxas placed the letters on his bed and his eyes went wide. He snatched up the letters and read them as quickly as possible, his face falling in the process. _{"Terra...? Aqua...?"}

"Yeah, like he said, we've never met before." Rox crossed his arms as Ven read the letters, finally grasping Eiji's comments properly. "This is really weird..."

But if the other kid didn't know wtf, then there wasn't a point in dwelling on it. time to rustle through the trunk! _{"Maybe I'm just hallucinating again..."}

They'd never met before, but they looked a lot alike. That was rather strange, to say the least, and left poor Eiji rather confused.

Roxas moving to inspect his trunk spurred Eiji to do the same, curious as to the contents of his own.

Ven had flopped forward onto the bed in the process of reading his letters. Seems he was just as shellshocked as Eiji had been. Even after reading them he had no idea what was going on. And seriously what was up with this collar thing?!

Instead of looking through his chest like the others were doing, he rolled over so that now his back was on the bed and he was facing up. "Hallucination?" Ven was fairly certain he wasn't a hallucination. Could multiple people share a hallucination? "Maybe we're all dreaming. It doesn't make sense for worlds to just be gone like that.."

The silence in the room seemed to be understandable, given everyone had just realized their world and lives were potentially destroyed forever.

"Hey...!"

Which means it was the perfect time for Roxas to notice his skateboard tucked into his trunk, promptly pulling it out and dropping it to the ground, testing the wheels with his shoe. Please excuse his happiness that at least something he cares about is still around.

"...I... I doubt it would be a hallucination," Eiji said. "After all, I've never had a dream where someone in the dream pointed out that it was a dream. Though, I've never experienced a lucid dream..."

Let's see...clothes, clothes...cell medals?

The OOO Driver...

But no Core medals.

"A lucid dream? You mean the kind where you're aware that you're dreaming?" He could've sworn he read about them before but he didn't really remember.

Ven sat up and slid over the bed to linger over his chest at the foot of it. "What's that?" He asked, looking at Roxas' skateboard.

"I've never had a dream like this, so I doubt it's one." All his involved some derpy kid and static. Well, okay, Ven sort of reminded him of the brunette, but...

"Huh? Its a skateboard." Duhface, cos seriously who hasn't seen a skateboard before. He left it where it was, reaching in his trunk and grabbing one of the pictures of him and the Twilight Town gang.

"...anyway, this can't be real." Firm defiance go!

"Yeah, like that," he answered to Ven.

Eiji found himself staring at the driver, and searching the trunk several times over for other Core Medals, to no avail.

So...he was stuck here with just the purple ones..?

"Well, if you don't think it's a dream, but you don't think it's real, and it can't be a hallucination, what do you think is going on?" C'mon Roxas, you ain't contributing much to the conversation.

"...Skateboard?" And then back to 'derp what are normal things.' It did look kind of like his Keyblade Glider though, now that he thought about it, just with wheels.

"...You OK?" He directed at Eiji with a concerned frown. It seemed like he was just kind of staring in his trunk.

Unlike derps mcgee over there, Roxas wasn't about to go and wax concerned over strangers just yet. Was he concerned? Sure, but he was also amazingly untrusting when put in magical-summoning towers of salvation.

"I think we got kidnapped and someone is playing a really big prank on us." Hey, at least he wasn't claiming (out loud) that either of you were in on said 'prank'. "But if it is serious, then I don't know."

If you can't trust total strangers in weird towers, then who can you trust?

Eiji looks over at Ven, then blinks. After a moment, he nods, and puts forth a bit of a smile. "Y-yeah. Just a little jarred by the whole situation is all."

Of course, he's lying, but they don't know that.

Being concerned about and trusting total strangers in weird towers is totally normal!

"If this is some weird prank, we've still been kidnapped and taken to some strange location." So it was still equally serious you doubting nancy.

"Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine. I don't think you can just completely destroy a world just like that," Ven said, offering a small smile. Optimism go!

Despite his policy on trust-issues-go, Rox did seem to chime in when Ven tried to perk their roomie up.

"Yeah. This is probably just some sort of hoax. Worlds are sturdier than that."

And a stretch~ "Besides, how would they have only been able to save individual people? That's just weird."
