[open] I'm Nobody, who are you?

[mnementomori]

Characters: Xion and anyone who encounters her wandering the Gardens.
Date: 3/20, early afternoon onward
Summary: Xion has been hit with a wildcard while out gathering more dirt for her tram system.
Warnings: will update if needed.

Xion was lost.

That wasn't right. She knew the Gardens like that back of her hand, she'd been here long enough. Even with new scenery always popping up, she was able to keep track of it. But the tall spire of the Clock Tower was nowhere to be seen, despite the fact that she was just out in the dunes collecting sand. She clutched the bucketful she was carrying tightly, stopping to look around again.


[ooc: as an amplification of her usual weird changing appearance, the wild card effect will cause her to take on the appearance of someone important to the one looking at her. The full extent is up to you: who she appears to be, whether her voice changes, whether they look male or are a female version, whether the illusion wears off once they figure out it's Xion. Have fun with this!]

Xion turned at the shout, recognizing the other girl. Relieved to see a familiar figure, she set down her bucket and lifted a hand to wave. That's right, Dizzy could fly! Maybe they'rd be able to find a way back together.

"Dizzy! I hope you're not lost, too."

"Ah, well...," Bad news, really. And it was odd hearing Testament's voice as feminine, but she'd come to accept that part of the Gardens.

"I am..."

[mnementomori]

"Oh..." she paused for a moment, thinking. She hadn't quite realized something was wrong, yet. After all, to herself she looked the same: a girl in a black cloak. Though perhaps if she looked in a mirror, she'd see something different...

Xion looked around again.

"Something strange is happening again. But maybe if we work together, we can find someplace familiar."

[imperial_ray]

Dizzy nodded. "Absolutely. Just tell me what to do, bru... erm, maybe schwester is better now..." The last bit seemed mostly spoken to herself. Just how should she address Testament as a woman? It was odd thinking about it.

[mnementomori]

Xion tilted her head, curiously. She didn't quite understand what Dizzy was saying, but...

"Tell you what to do? I guess...we should start walking one way and see where it goes. Maybe mark the path with something..."

She looked around for that something, but leaves and sticks would be easily lost in the grass. She crouched by her bucket of sand and used some of it to make a handful of small crystalline stones.

"Like these. Here, you carry some."

[imperial_ray]

"Like Hansel and Gretel?" Dizzy replied as she took some of the material. It seemed like a solid enough idea. Stuff like this caught the sunlight in such a way that she could even see it from the sky if she needed to.

[mnementomori]

She tilted her head, not familiar with the reference. "Like who?"

[imperial_ray]

"Hansel and Gretel? It's that story you told me when I was still little?" For all of the year she could be considered 'little'.

[mnementomori]

"I--told you?" There was a sinking feeling in her stomach. "Dizzy, I didn't know you when you were little...we met here, remember?"

[imperial_ray]

Dizzy stared at Xion/Testament as if she had grown a second head.

"Um... Testament? Are you okay?"
