Sleepover before the storm
Characters: [OU] Xion, Excalibur, and whoever comes
Setting: Floor 101
Format: Whatever floats your boat
Summary: It's the night before the infiltration. People are plotting, discussing, and Xion has brought a Dream Eater so those who want to try to get a good night's sleep have a marginally higher chance of doing so. So in short it's a Tower-flavored sleepover. Bring your own pillows.
Warnings: Nothing in the top level. Will try to edit if anything changes but if something comes up in one of your threads make sure to add a warning in the subject line
======================
[Standard mingle post procedure. Make your top levels. Tag around. Have fun. Or not, this is Animus after all.
Notes will have been passed out and quiet discussion gone around by word of mouth, just saying that several people were spending the night in the hidden floor. Anybody who spoke to Xion would have been told that she's trying to figure out a way everybody can get a good night's sleep. You'll need to supply your own blankets and pillows but... hey, at least if you have trouble sleeping, you'll have company?
Note that any characters who sleep on the Hidden Floor, if they normally suffer from nightmares will likely have notably lessened or absent nightmares (up to your discretion) owing to the Dream Eater that Xion has brought with.]

They are part of who you are now.

[Link thinks of Saria. Of Navi.
Saria will always be... your friend...
... he thinks then, selfishly, briefly, that it doesn't make it sting any less. That it doesn't keep him from loneliness, because it didn't when he was sent back to his time, and no one remembered what he'd done, the bonds they'd made, because they hadn't happened. He remembered, of course he did, and he still cherished those bonds, those friendships, and held them close to him when it was hardest to be standing with someone who thought they were strangers, but... Sometimes, they didn't help. Sometimes, it made him feel more lonely.
... but, he pushes this aside, all of these thoughts, all of those memories. She's right. He knows she is. He needs to hold fast to that.
... it just... leads... to more guilt, though.]
... I should have protected them. [He feels like it's irrational, because he knows that there's nothing he could have done against whatever it is that destroyed the worlds, but, but, but, but. He doesn't know how to keep himself from thinking that. And right now, being held like this, it... feels more okay to be like this. To be more childish.
(There is a part of him that is frustrated, and there's a hint of it in his voice. He's not normally like this. He's normally better at lifting himself out of this, picking himself up, finding something to do. But it's harder to shake tonight. There isn't anything to do, no one to save, no monsters to fight. ... though, maybe, he could look at it as, this negativity is a monster to fight. Maybe that would help.)]

Her track record of convincing knights of some things just isn't good enough for this.]
Don't say that, I'm sure you did everything you could. Some things just happen no matter how hard you try. It's a part of life. Don't try to hold yourself to unrealistic standards... it will only hurt you.

He lets out a shuddering breath. Some things just happen no matter how hard he tries. It's a part of life. He will always fail someone.]
I still have to try, even if it's not enough.

[She sighs, running a hand over his head for comfort.]
But one small body cannot bear the weight of the world alone...
