Night 1 | ~ Remember ~

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[There is a sleepy town cast in the soft orange light of the setting sun. It is built on hills, so the brick streets of the town rise and fall in great slopes in some areas and gently rolls in others. At the very top of the highest hill, there is a clock tower perched atop a train station. When a world is trapped within perpetual sunset like this one, keeping track of the time is difficult, and so that tower is of the utmost importance, the ticking of its clock the heartbeat of the town.

Wherever you are in the town, there's a young teenager dressed in a black coat. The hood is drawn up to where his or her face is mostly obscured. On top of the clock tower, he or she -- it's surprisingly difficult to tell -- the teenager is sitting on the ledge, holding a light blue ice cream bar in one hand, staring out at the town below. Elsewhere, s/he can be found wandering around, as if exploring the streets, or standing awkwardly along the building walls.]



[ooc: A list of canonical locations in town is here, if you want it! All of Twilight Town is there to visit (except for Yen Sid's tower, since Xion doesn't exactly know that place exists).]

[The Tram Common is bigger then a lot of places in town, and a little confusing, and people who aren't familiar with the area can easily get lost...especially if that person is just shy of five years old.

That's the predicament this child has found himself in. But he's not worried - this is a new place, and he just wants to explore. It doesn't really matter where he's going.

But one thing in all of his wandering makes him stop. A figure in a black coat catches his eye, and he pauses, trying to get a good look at them. He doesn't know who it could be...but for some reason, they seem like someone important.

Sora doesn't approach right away, though. For a minute, he just watches.]

[Xion is standing in front of the entrance to the forest. She stares into the trees for a long, heavy moment, but then turns around to leave. She stops short when she sees the small boy who is far too familiar.

Ah... That's...?]

[When they notice Sora, he doesn't react immediately - he just keeps watching, as if that'll somehow help him figure out who they are. But, of course, it doesn't.

So he does the best thing he can think to do; he carefully comes closer, enough so that they can talk to each other.]

...Who are you?

[He sounds (and looks) more curious than anything.]

[Xion resists the urge to run. This can't be real. This can't be possible. She's not really in Twilight Town, talking to young Sora. This is either a dream, or she returned to Sora and didn't know it, and now she's inside his heart.

... let's go with a dream.]

I'm... [Still, she hesitates. After a moment, she kneels.] I'm someone who's been waiting to meet you.

[connectedsky.livejournal.com]

To meet me? Why?

[Not that he isn't happy to meet someone new - he always is. But he can't not find it a little strange. He doesn't even know this person yet...right?]

Do I know you from somewhere?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Because... you're someone very special to me, Sora.

[Xion smiles, sadly.] Not yet, you don't. And maybe you never will... That's another reason why, I guess. That I hoped to meet you someday.
