now to write my name down next to yours

[capax_infiniti]

Characters: Master Xehanort (as Aqua), and whoever decides to join him
Setting: Roaming the tower hallways most likely, but can be met on specific floors if you prefer
Format: Whichever way you would prefer
Summary: Bodyswap summary post. Xehanort had to tend to something... important, and is now roaming in search of others and answers. And trying to get used to this whole "constant light" business...
Warnings: Tags will be coming from inaquate. Also Xehanort.

Note: Please specify what day you are tagging into from now on so I know what level of symptoms to show!


[It had been a mad rush, once he'd realized... and at least things could be halted roughly before they had progressed to a dangerous state. With her and him now safely secure where they wouldn't be likely to be disturbed, he began to make his way back down the twisting stairs of the tower.

His head wasn't in the game, not properly. It was difficult to focus when everything was wrong. This body used physics that were almost unfamiliar... the shape of hips, breasts, even the musculature was different. She was shorter and more lithe, but more difficult was the degree of light within. That was the most distracting... rather than the constant feeling of the darkness he kept beneath his skin. Which was the true name of the game, wasn't it? This wasn't him, it wasn't his heart.

He stopped mid-stride, concentrating again. Master Keeper appeared in his grasp rather than the familiar curves and hooks of his own blade. He'd known that, but had been too focused on his earlier task to pay it that much mind. Now he held the blade up as thought testing the heft, before dismissing it.

This was wrong. Everything about it was wrong. He'd planned a possesion before, but that would have been his heart in another vessel, and his body wouldn't have been left as a receptacle.

There was nothing left to do but to see what information could be found. He began to continue on resolutely, although he was more relying on his mental maps to keep going as he focused more on the unusual movements, trying to keep everything together. He must look ungainly, indeed...]

As long as I got to watch, I wouldn't mind too much.

[inaquate]

Not one to care about others much, are we?

[coolestmiracles]

Not at all.

[inaquate]

Perhaps we should speak more once we have returned to our proper bodies.

Then again, there's nothing stopping us from speaking now either.

[coolestmiracles]

You'd have to know who I am to talk to me later, and I'd have to know who you are. And I kind of don't want to say? Just in case I do something crazy with all this power.

[inaquate]

I'm not really one to criticize, but the choice is of course yours.

[coolestmiracles]

It's a pretty tough decision, I'll think about it some more...

[inaquate]

As you wish. If you desire some correspondence in the future, I'm not difficult to find. My name is Xehanort.

[coolestmiracles]

Cool. I'll pencil you in for later.

[inaquate]

Such platitudes are beneath us. If you have no interest, merely state so.

[coolestmiracles]

I've got interest.

[inaquate]

Very well then. I will await whenever you've scheduled me.

[coolestmiracles]

What are you up to now?

[inaquate]

I was merely going to get something to drink from the cafeteria. With any luck, the walk down would give me suitable practice in moving around in this particular form.

[coolestmiracles]

Not usually a girl - I can sympathize with that - or something else?

[inaquate]

No, quite. This body is female, and much shorter than my own. There are a few adjustments that I must make.

[coolestmiracles]

Never thought walking would be hard. 's one of the reasons I'd rather fly.

[inaquate]

It's rather fortunate that you've inherited such an ability. While what I've gained from this body is impressive indeed, it is not close to what I left behind.

[coolestmiracles]

Oh yeah? What could you do?

[inaquate]

My magical abilities were unparalleled. In the physical, speed, strength. The usual fare, I'd imagine.

[coolestmiracles]

That's pretty cool, just that. I used to know a guy who was good at magic and not much else.

[capax_infiniti]

Magic, like many things, is simply a beginning... it's quite easy to adapt and mould to suit any need or occasion.

[coolestmiracles]

Usually 'summon weird monsters' worked pretty well for him.

[inaquate]

That's always amusing as well.

[coolestmiracles]

Isn't it? He was so fun to hang out with.
