animus_network | Voice (Backdated to the 28th)

[Xion doesn't normally use the network unless she's looking for someone. But this time, it's a little different. She'd asked if she could stop here, to let everyone know.

No video though. She kind of... does not want to be found. While the network terminals aren't everywhere, but if she can make it as vague as possible, then she'll go with that. She wishes the filters were working, even if she's never used them before, if there was ever a time to start, it was now.

Her voice is very tired, even a little hoarse, and just a tiny bit pained, though she's trying to hide it.]

Sora, Riku, Roxas, Ven, Namine... and... anybody else from my worlds. Or anyone really... Vanitas is back. I think he remembers but... I'm not sure. He's different now, a lot worse. Please just stay away from him. [Stay safe]

And... Elena, Rusty... [she pauses, swallowing; she doesn't have quite enough nerve to address Tseng so informally. Hopefully they'd figure out she was trying to contact her fellow Turks, though.] I... haven't seen Reno - Sparky - anywhere, but his name's not gone from the door so.... I-If you see him, just... please tell him to find me. Us. [Her and Shion]

I'll... be where Sora found me later, when I was asleep. If... if anyone needs me.

[No way she's just outright say where she'll be staying on the network, not if Vanitas or someone else can see this.

She'll probably stick around for a little while, but she has friends nearby who are going to make sure she makes it down to the infirmary, and keep her safe in the meantime.]

[ooc; There might be threadjacks from any of the friends (

pitiedthefool,

worldsapart , and possibly one other I'll edit in) Xion has with her, if they see something objectionable or they really want to comment on. On the whole though replies'll come from Xion]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

...I'm fine.

[Which is pretty much a flat-out lie, but...]

Some of my friends are here. I-I'll be okay with them.

[Well, he was no human lie detector, but Vanitas was not pleasant company, and Xion had bad experience with him already.]

I'm sorry. He's my responsibility. [Geez it's like he's talking about a bad dog.]

If there's anything I can do...

It's not your fault. I should've gotten out of there sooner.

[Xion you fail at this whole maintaining a lie thing. Nevermind that you tried to get out of there pretty damn fast and still been trapped, essentially]

Just... don't go looking for him. Please.

[She is not kidding about him being worse.]

I'm not gonna look for him, but knowing him, it won't be that long until I see him again. [S I G N]

...You should avoid him as much as you can, but you can't blame himself for what he does. You can't. Even if you had gotten away, who's to say he wouldn't have just gone after you anyway?

[Xion made a small noise of assent, knowing full well that, given the apparent connection between Ven and Vanitas, there was likely a lot of truth in what Ven was saying. Exhaustion was dulling normally sharp feeling of worry, however. It's still there, but nowhere near as intense as it might've been normally.

As for blaming herself... that's another thing she's really too tired to argue.]

Yeah... I tried to leave but... he's fast. He's so much worse than before.

Please just... be careful.

[Worse. He had a feeling. But it was basically confirmed in the worst possible way.]

Don't you worry about me. I've taken him down before. [He wasn't going to doubt just because Vanitas was worse. Because Ven knew how he fought, and he was also better.]

Take care of yourself, alright? And if you ever need anything, just let me know. I'm usually in the library if you need, or Roxas'll usually know where I am.

[The fact that all he could offer was condolences was annoying in its own way.]
