A whole new world o/`
Name: Xemnas and ANYONE
Format: Prose, Actions. Whatever people are most comfortable with; beginning prose.
Setting:Room 2-10, then Travel Time to Floor 61.
Summary: Dude, Where's My Castle? Or, Xemnas Arrival.
Warnings: Possibly violence. Possibly not. Very brief nudity. Will update as things happen.
Notes: Limited number of locations to start with, because hugegame is huge.
Sleep paralysis is a new experience, and is waited out with measured patience. Not being able to move isn't particularly alarming, as it doesn't come with pain or disorientation. The room is unfamiliar. That.. is more troubling. Unusual outfit: check. Collar: check. The white didn't bother him overmuch, even though it wasn't as comfortable as the uniforms he'd painstakingly made. A search of the collar finds no fasteners, and pulling on it did no good so he doesn't waste his time trying to tear it free. Both notes are skimmed then set on the bed; the chances of a world that didn't exist being destroyed were slim. It was of no concern. What was ... was being somewhere he shouldn't be, and attempting to form a corridor of darkness to the castle failing outright.
Xemnas, being a fairly practical creature, comes to the conclusion that finding out where he is, is a reasonable good step.
If any of his new roommates are there, he politely disregards the presence of others in favor of standing, investigating the chest at the foot of the narrow bed and almost immediately stripping out of the white skin-tight outfit that had been provided him and replacing it with the black uniform of the Organization.
Sometimes free shows can't be helped.
--
It doesn't take long before he's satisfied with what he knows of the dormitory floors. People aren't his concern, and he doesn't bother to greet anyone he comes across. He'll query individuals later, once he has a solid map in his mind of where he is. He couldn't use a corridor to get somewhere he hadn't been before, after all. If he's stopped, well, that's different.
Then peaceful, patient elevator travel. There were only a certain number of floors it would stop at but he'd investigate each one eventually.
--
The elevator opening to a grassy plain is unexpected, as are the distant mountains. Did the elevator connect to entirely different worlds, a peculiar technological version of world-hopping? This is worth investigating a little more thoroughly, and in short order there is a dark shape moving through the waist-deep grass, almost but not quite curious. It seems like a peaceful place, and aside from plants, Xemnas could detect no other obvious signs of life in his immediate vicinity.
He doesn't notice the clouds at first. Or the mountains.
Because honestly, the holes in the ground are much more attention-grabbing, and difficult to spot.
He finds one the hard way. There's a yelp as the ground he expected to be underfoot in his next step simply isn't there, sending him tumbling into some til-now hidden pit. Falling to one's demise probably normally elicits more of a reaction than vague irritation that that was incredibly undignified, but killing a Nobody by dropping them from great heights doesn't usually work.
Especially when they can teleport. Xemnas relied on line of sight, but his reactions were quick enough that he's not falling for more than a moment before he flickers into being above the hole and just to one side, dropping a few feet back onto the grass with a thump. Frowning, the edges of the pit are carefully explored. He's.. going to be here a while.

I suppose a better place and time will be found than an elevator, it's true. Preferably either somewhere very open or somewhere with many hiding places and things to climb on. Perhaps both. It depends on where one's strengths lay, and where would push them to their limits best.
[He shifts amber gaze to Riku for several long moments, measuring.]
You have no reason for concern.
[He saw that tensing. Were they friends, this boy and his replica?]
I don't kill what I put to the test, even if this place is impermanent in death. One does not learn the proper lessons when death is involved.
no subject
[Whether he wants to list them all out is another question entirely. Just how much should he tell this guy? So far, he hasn't done anything too bad at least.
Riku brings a hand to his chin, mulling it over.]
But I guess that explains why you-- or the you from my world, anyway-- didn't go out of his way to kill me. I got pushed to the limit, just to get a cryptic message and a note. Funny how that works out.
no subject
[Xemnas' question is musing, and he doesn't spend much time on it. A few floors DID fit the bill. They could always take a walk to the mountains with eyes. Then they could be watched while they fight, if the replica didn't find the eyes terribly distracting.
Mention of the 'him' from Riku's world draws a thoughtful sound low in the back of his throat.]
Perhaps seeing if you are worthy of the blade you wield. Or capable of it. You are very young, for a bearer to be wandering about on his own. The traditional age is ... quite a bit older, after significant instruction by one's master. Have you been tested for your mastery? Beyond my other-self pushing you around a little.
no subject
[It's not a complete lie. Terra may have promised to meet him in the outside world, but Riku never once encountered him during his journey. Never even heard from him. And, given the attitudes of others, it seemed as if Keyblade wielders had grown scarce.
It's a troubling thought. Could something have happened to them? And if so, what? Whatever the case...]
Wouldn't surprise me if it was some big test, though. It almost felt like he went easy on me, and when he left, he dropped one of the Ansem reports and told me to fetch him more hearts. Can't exactly do that if I'm dead.
no subject
[Xemnas was no teacher. He couldn't instruct a young keyblade wielder in the things they would need to know, he remembered only fragments of it himself. It might not be a good idea to suggest Yen-Sid given he knew the old magician lied through his beard to accomplish whatever goal got under his pointed hat, but it would.. be better than nothing.]
... Well. There is something good to be said about getting rid of more Heartless. Troublesome things. And only a keyblade can get rid of them for good. Perhaps he wants them all gone as much as I do.
[Well that much is a certainty.]
I assume you've been managing well enough as you are, however. Taken advantage of this place, in learning more?
[This elevator. Was going to take forever. By the time he got to breakfast, breakfast would be over!]
