Forty-First Shower - [Action and Unintentional Voice, Backdated to 7/12]

[thalassashells]

[It was quiet in the area around KH house. Everyone in the house was sound asleep, or at least pretending to sleep. Kairi herself was in that same boat of being asleep when a high pitch scream suddenly awakens her. She bolts up into bed, glancing around her room and out her window. She pauses, reflecting briefly as she tries to think of what could have possibly caused such a sound. Was it a dream? It must have been.

...still. She quietly slips out of her bed, opening her bedroom door and stepping into the hallway. As she makes her rounds, silently checking on each of the boys first, she soon approaches Xion's room.

Of course, the fact that the girl isn't in her room when Kairi opens the door raises a few alarms.

Okay. Okay, don't panic. Kairi was aware that Xion sometimes would leave the house if she felt uncomfortable. That was normal, sure. But this...she couldn't get that scream out of her mind. Another wave of uncertainty crashes over her as she slips on a pair of shoes, grabs her journal and heads for the front door, stepping out of the house and looking toward the road.

It's then that she spots her; her likeness, her friend, covered in injuries, blood and...burns? Not a time to question. She bolts down the porch of the house, throwing herself down and checking the girl for consciousness. She attempts to shift the girl's body, ignoring the blood that was starting to stain her hands in favor of whether Xion held any signs of life. Realizing that the dark-haired girl wasn't responding, she whips out the journal immediately and flips to a new page without thinking.]

Axel! Come on, wake up! I really need your help out here...it's Xion. She's...it's bad. There's so much...it's too much. I know you're not really asleep, I checked. Hurry!

[And while she waits for Axel, she keeps an eye on Xion for any signs of movement, completely oblivious to the fact that she forgot to filter that message to only Axel.]

[It's late, but Ven loves to look up at the stars, meaning he's been awake this whole time. Thus, Kairi's message rings loud and clear.]

Xion? What happened to her?

[Oh man, now he's super worried. Aaaugh.]

voice

[perplexme]

[It's shortly after Kairi and Axel whisk Xion away to the clinic out at the battle dome that Ven receives a reply, but it's not from who he's probably expecting.]

Ven...? They took her to the clinic. Something, or rather someone attacked her right outside the house.

action - now with less derp!

[He heard the scream, he heard Kairi's message. Even if it's late, and even if he was sleeping, Riku's not about to sit back and do nothing.

So, before long, Kairi should hear foot steps from behind-- hurried steps. It's only when he reaches Kairi and Xion that he slows, and immediately glares at the unfortunate scene.]

What happened?

[soracles.livejournal.com]

[Sora isn't far behind, though rather than burst ahead and offer an angry or panicked word or two like one might expect, he's completely silent. his expression is set in a thin line.]

[it's... not really a normal reaction from Sora, but his silence says far more than his voice ever could: he is livid. his stride halts at Riku's side, and his gaze alternates from Xion, to Kairi, off somewhere in the distance, to the Keyblade he hadn't even realized had formed in his hand.]

[Voice]

[bratacus.livejournal.com]

[His own reply probably comes later, after everything's been taken care of. But he can't help feeling a nervous wad in his chest when he hears that message from the journal, something that both makes him press his hand against it in confusion and frown down at the journal.]

What about Xion? What happened to her?

[Voice]

[perplexme]

[And like with Ven, the reply to Luke's question won't come for a while...and he's probably not going to be happy to talk to Roxas either. But he knows that Luke is important to Xion, so he'll suck it up and deal with it.]

Oh, it's you. [A pause.] ...she got hurt. Really bad. Two of my friends had to take her to get help. It's not a pretty sight.

[voice]

[frost_jewel]

[She doesn't know either person, but she can't ignore someone saying things like that.]

What happened? Do you need help?

[voice]

[perplexme]

They took her to get help...do you know anything about healing injuries or burns?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

-- Xion?

[perplexme]

...Sanji. [Man, why does he have to be the bearer of bad news?]

He got to her. [It's an assumption at best, but you know, who else would go after her? He had seen Xion's injuries before Axel and Kairi took her away.]

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

[For once, it is probably a good thing that Richard is an insomniac, because he's wide awake when this comes over the journals.]

Is she injured? Where are you?

[Voice]

[perplexme]

[...he's going to pause, unsure if this is one of Xion's friends or one of Kairi's friends.]

She's really badly hurt. Kairi and Axel took her to get medical attention a bit ago. I don't know when they'll be back.

[Not-Reply]

[consultmybooks]

[Xion?

...what about Xion?

What's bad, why is Xion...?

...it's the pain killers. It has to be. He has to be dreaming this. Xion is all right. She's fine.

She has to be.]

[voice]

[erodingearth]

[And while everyone else worries about Xion...]

Kairi? What happened?

[voice]

[meteorical]

[It's not until much later that Kairi realizes that people, a lot of people, are reacting to her message to Axel. She can tell that Roxas has taken care of most of the situation, but when Terra specifically asks her she knows better than to let someone else respond.]

Terra...I found her right outside the house. She was just left there to die, damaged and burned. It was awful. Axel and I took her to get help, but we're still waiting to make sure everything's going to be okay. Someone really was out for blood.

[action]

[flaring]

[Axel was indeed just pretending to be asleep when Kairi made her rounds moments ago. His journal was open on the nightstand next to him, so when he hears her frantic voice come over the network he jerks up in bed.

...Something happened. To Xion.

Axel quickly pulls himself out of bed, not even caring he isn't wearing shoes and is only in the clothes he sleeps in. He darts out of the house and outside, hurrying over once he spots Kairi there kneeling down next to Xion.

There's... blood. Lots of it. Axel kneels down next to Kairi and checks to see if Xion is still breathing. It's a little bit of relief that she is. His brow furrows as he does a quick once-over of her injuries, making a quiet noise once he sees just how bad it is. She needs help and she needs it now. When Axel speaks up his voice is low and mostly just a mumble.]

She's probably not going to be able to hang on much longer.

[action]

[meteorical]

[She's quiet and draws back just the slightest bit to let Axel check her over, biting her lip and ignoring the fact that there are sudden tears running down her cheeks. Why does this keep happening to them? First Axel, then Sora, now this? Who was next? When Axel speaks though, she looks up at him and nods.]

Think you can carry her through that corridor of yours? She needs to get to the clinic, the one at the dome. I can't do it alone.

[Voice]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[--Wait. Wait, wait, wait. What's going on? She was just talking to Xion yesterday.

Ignoring her own personal fears for now, Noel speaks up.]

W-What happened to Xion?

[Voice]

[perplexme]

[...more of Xion's friends, huh? Man, this is never going to get easier.]

She got hurt. Really badly. My friends took her to get healed.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

What happened? Will she be alright? Do you need more help?

[Voice]

[perplexme]

We don't know yet. We hope so...my friends took her to get help. She was attacked outside of our house. We should be okay...maybe. I've got somebody up at the clinic helping out.

[ voice ]

[sortabeautiful.livejournal.com]

[ a certain werewolf is out and about when he catches the broadcast -- ]

What happened?!

[ voice ]

[meteorical]

[And this is another instance where while Kairi appreciates Roxas answering the questions, she's going to take this one herself.]

Jake. [That's all she says for a moment, and it's obvious she's trying to calm down enough to have a coherent conversation.] He got to Xion. It's really bad, everything's torn and bloodied and burned...we had to take her to get help.

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

K...Kairi? Xion, what happened to Xion? Do you need a healer? [Her voice is muddled, extremely confused. Late night is not her finest hour.]

[meteorical]

[The only reason Kairi would open the journal and respond to Aerith is because she knows the Aerith from her world could help. If this girl was like the Aerith she knows...]

We have someone, but it's still really bad. ...could you meet us out here, Aerith? We're at the dome's clinic. We could use all the help we could get. She's going to need a lot of healing and a lot of recovery time.

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[myaauuurrrmhissfdkjfkjds ok writing that is a thing which should be done]

what??

[perplexme]

[...whoa what are you sir. Roxas is going to stare for a moment before realizing that he should probably respond.]

She's been taken somewhere to get help, but it's...rough. It's really not a good thing.
