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...

There was a light groaning noise as Eiji stirred from his bed. He felt like hell, though these days, that seemed to happen a lot more often than not - admittedly, often due to his own foolishness and bullheadedness. This time, though, it wasn't directly his fault. What happened?

A chill runs down his spine, and he sits up, remembering. He goes to clutch at his chest, but his thoughts are interrupted as he realizes what he's wearing - and where he is. This isn't Cous Coussier, nor is it the hospital that Date and Gotou brought him to before.

"Hello..?"

The Doctor popped his head in Roxas' room.

"Good morning! Are you new? I haven't seen you 'round here before."

[Molly was literally running by the door when she caught sight of the new boy]

[sadly her momentum was going forward when she was trying to go backwards and she ends up tumbling over]

Hi! I'm Molly Hayes! You're new!

At first Ven woke up quietly like was normal so far for the room's inhabitants; but, when he realized he had actually woken up, his eyes shot wide and he jolted upright with a start. He was awake? He was OK? What happened to that warm place and how, had he gotten here...? Where was here? Where were Terra and Aqua? Were they OK?

His head was already swimming (though that might have been from sitting up too fast), but with a shake of his head, he finally glanced around the room and realized there were other people there. One of them had...mumbled something he thought, he hadn't quite caught it, but another person had definitely said something.

"Hey!" Ven greeted with an attempt to sound cheerful despite the confusion. "Uh....where are we?"

Oh geez, great. He had a room mate. Okay, scratch that, two. That...was normal in hospitals, right? Yeah. It sounded right.

Roxas picked his head up a foot off the bed, giving the first guy a very brief look. He was back to lying down before the other voice spoke up and...wait a minute. "Huh?"

Why did it sound like he'd just said "Hey!"...? He hadn't spoken out loud, had he? Maybe his ears were messed up from the fall or something...biology wasn't his strong suite. Regardless, he leaned up on his elbows, shifting sorely to...stare at himself from across the room. A beat. Another beat.

And then Roxas just flopped back down on his bed, covering his face and head with his forearms because this was obviously just another one of his many hallucinations.

"Huh?" Errr who the heck was that. Oh geez were random people wandering in to his room? Other patients, maybe?

"Uh...good morning." Roxas didn't seem eager to sit up, but he at least leaned up on an elbow, facing the doorway. "I guess I'm new? Uh, you wouldn't happen to know where the doctor is...?"

[Rox grumbled, stuffing his head under his pillow and wishing this wasn't such a trippy weird dream hospital thing. ]

Yes. I am new.

[...oh, right.]

Do you know where the doctors are, or something...?

"...I don't know." Eiji blinked, then looked back and forth between the two. Twins?

"It's a very good question - as is why we're all dressed the same," he added, patting down the weird suit for a moment, then swinging his feet over the side of the bed.

Woof. Better slow that down, tiger.

Then Eiji noticed a note on his bedside table, and unfolded it to read...

Ven frowned a tad, but his attention was drawn away when he saw...himself. Across the room. Unlike Roxas, who had opted to flop back on the bed, Ven's eyes flew even wider (if that were possible).

"Who are you?! Is this some kind of joke?" Not even Vanitas had looked that much like him!

He looked back at Eiji and realized just now what he was wearing; and then his attention was drawn to the color around his neck. What.

Ven opted to spend the next minute or so attempting to get it off. What was going on?!

Okay, apparently whatever was going on with that cloaked guy and the...gray noodly things was getting really creepily personal. His best attempt at adding two and two together was that they had been stealing his pictures several days earlier...what if this was some doppleganger? He'd read books about that sort of thing...!

His paranoia got distracted by the not-him talking and not seeming to notice anything too off about this situation. Roxas only noticed the letters because Eiji's grabbing of his own, but yeah, doppleganger, more pressing matter.

"Who am I? Who are you?! Are you with those...things?!" Accusing look, go! He was even sort of...dressed, or looking like them or something! In total and complete maturity...he took the pillow from behind himself and chucked it at the kid who looked like him. Maybe it was an illusion instead, but whatever, he wanted it gone!

[Head tilt]

There's a doctory place! I can show you!

[A...'doctory place'. Right.]

Uh, sure. But I'm not sure if I should be getting up and all.

[Pause, then picks his head up.]

I, did sort of fall off a building. ...I think. [He looks very unsure.]

YOU FELL OFF A BUILDING? COOL!

[Molly is loud, hopefully you'll get used to it]

You think?

[Oh geez what his ears. Rox immediately stuffed his head back under the pillow.]

_{I'm pretty sure. But if I fell off a building, I should sort of be dead. Or at least injured.}

[He just might talk to you through the pillow for the rest of this meeting, Molls.]

Eiji's not paying attention to the twins' pillow fight, because he's trying to wrap his head around the news in the letter.

He's shaking his head at it - it can't be right, can it?

"...my world can't be gone..." he mumbled, one hand idly touching the cold metal of his collar. A chill ran up his spine as his mind jumped from one thought to another. Where were Ankh? Hina? Date? Gotou? And...well, so many others? Obviously not in here, but...maybe they were here, too?

[Hey, Roxas! Have your first ever troll kid encounter!

This particular troll is peeking at you around the corner of your doorway, eyes wide and curious.]

[she steps further into the room to poke at him]

Maybe you have super strength.

"What 'things'...? I'm not with any 'things'!" The accusing look was met with a glare. Did he mean the Unversed or something? But they were supposed to be gone! He was damn positive Vanitas wasn't missing or anything, so what gives?

Maybe it was because the last few hours he had spent conscious was also spent fighting, but when Ven saw the pillow flying towards him, he extended his right hand out and sent an outward spiral gush of wind to push the pillow away from him. No way he overreacted, really. "What's the big idea, huh?!"

Ven's attention was drawn away by Eiji's mumbling, but when he glanced aside at his own bedside table, the letters had been blown away to some corner of the room. He looked a bit curious for a minute, but eventually just opted to look at Eiji. "Everything OK...?"

[okay so he was trying to sort through his trunk. Heard a noise. Turned to the door and froze with this face forever.]

... ... ...

[...however he seems inable to respond to gray-candycorn-alien-catgirl.]

I think if I had super strength I would have realized it before this happened.

[Warily peeks out from under his pillow at the poking.]

Are you a patient here too, or something...?

"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.

[Oh how she was enjoying that face. If he was prey, she'd be so hunting him right now.

You get this face back, Rox.]

"The Doctor?"

He smiled.

"That's me!"

Oh. Well, that was easier than he expected.

"Um...am I okay?" He's bothered by the lack of bones-being-powder and all. "...uh, I mean, can I go now?"
