Entry tags:
A whirlwind few days
Characters: Xion, Yosuke, Roxas, Aqua, Skulduggery, probably others?
Date: Starting on the 16th, then continuing through the next few days
Location: Fire Sector, Midnight Hotel, somewhere around where the expo used to be, possibly other places?
Situation: XION IS MUGGED. This causes a lot of fallout because she has very protective friends and family
Warnings/Rating: XION IS GETTING SHOT. There might also be Vanitas being an asshole somewhere in here. Also Roxas threatening to punch the faces in of people who hurt Xion.
A. The Mugging - CLOSED to Yosuke Hanamura
Just a quick errand, she'd told Roxas. She still couldn't believe he was here, here. Almost all of her doubts and worries had mostly vanished, once she'd realized how much she'd missed him.
But she had a job, a room she had to pay for. And that job involved running an errand. Not too long, if she hurried. She'd be back within an hour, tops.
And she was hurrying. She was on her way home, running, rushing, when she turned too fast around a corner and ran into a kedan. As she stumbled, attempting to regain her balance, the kedan had grabbed her shoulder, steadying her.
"S-sorry," she stammered, once she'd steadied herself, "I-"
But then she froze. Froze when she found herself facing the barrel of a revolver. The shape may have been different, but she'd seen Xigbar fighting enough times to recognize it. And that was when it'd hit her. The network posts. Akito and his stabbing.
Sure enough, he demanded her soul jewelry, jabbing the front gun at the necklace around her neck.
Except while his hand was still gripping her shoulder, the gun aimed at her was not steady. The kedan was very pale, and his voice shook too. Xion was no great shakes with reading emotions, but every signal pointed to him not wanting to be here. When she'd had the chance to see Akito's network post, he'd said that the ones mugging him had seemed reluctant too.
"I'm sorry, I can't," she told him, "It's dangerous to lose it."
He shook her, voice becoming more insistent. And even though he seemed more desperate than anything, being manhandled as such, plus the gun still aimed tremulously. She summoned her Keyblade in her free hand. A warning.
That's when the hand on her shoulder turned vicelike, and the gun steadied. And something in the region of Xion's gut seemed to be sinking.
"Get off!" she demanded, trying to break away. She didn't want to just attack if the fading hope that he was a reluctant theif was true, but he just wouldn't let go-
====================
B. The Aftermath - Open! (Expect Roxas to threadjack a lot)
Once Xion had been patched up, she was transplanted to Aqua's room at the Midnight Hotel for bed rest. For the first couple of days, others could pop in, but they'd find a young girl who is very much out of it, and not feeling good in the slightest. Her injury was bad enough, but with her soul gem missing... she'd never been sick before then, either.
At least, when he wasn't out looking for her Soul Gem, Roxas was spending a lot of time basically glued to her side.
Once she got her gem back, however, she started doing considerably better.
Enough that she was liable to slip out of bed and wander the Midnight Hotel, observing those coming and going from the balcony, or else curled up on a couch in the Common Room. Her upper arm was still wrapped in bandages and she probably shouldn't have been out of bed yet, but it was still nice to be moving again. Of course sometimes she really was back in Aqua's room, sometimes asleep, sometimes not, but certainly ready and willing to talk anybody who might stop by. Or anybody who had any particular questions to ask about what happened.
[ooc; This prompt may change a bit when more details about how Xion's being patched up are finalized]
=======================
C. Finding the Soul Gem - Roxas and Aqua and ????
Maybe they manage to find the remains of the Expo in time. Or maybe they - by lucky chance - hear of someone who's trying to find the owner of a soul gem that they found. Either way, the kedan in possession of Xion's soul gem is quite eager to make sure it finds its way home again.
[ooc; maybe you guys should make a comment idk DO THIS PART AS YOU SEE FIT]

D. Misc.
NONE OF THE ABOVE? Have anything else in mind? I feel like I'm forgetting something too so I might add things later when I think about them.

Proof of a little more than that, even. In all the games and movies, a shot in the arm was one you could safely ignore until the dramatic tension had passed. But the bastard in question had made a break for it, there was no point in trying to follow, and here they still were, the smell of gunpowder twisting and intertwining with the metallic taste in the air...
Without thinking, he reached down, placed his hand on her other shoulder as if to check she was still solid. She was, which was worse. "Hey," he said, his voice dropping to an urgent almost-whisper, "stay with me here... How bad is it? Can you stand?"
Overhead, the outline of his Persona glimmered once and vanished in a shower of points of light.
no subject
And any of that didn't hold a candle to this. She wasn't in danger anymore, and yet grounding herself in that reality was much harder than she would've thought it should be. She stared down at her injury again, lifted her arm a little bit to see it better, then let it drop with a faint his of pain.
All while trying to figure out the answer to his question.
"I... I don't know." That was the answer to his first question. As for the second. "I think so?" She immediately decided to give it a try, but her current sense of unreality quickly presented itself in the form of a distinct lack of coordination. She might be able to get to her feet - eventually - but she wouldn't be able to stay there for long without help.
The sticky feeling inside her coat had reached her glove now, and after a few moments of struggling with her legs, it seemed like a good idea to address that first. She pulled it off, slowly, and it left a streak of red on her skin on the outside of her forearm, which Xion stared at. That... wasn't good, was it?
no subject
Yeah, right, murmured his own voice, that was the best and worst joke he's heard all day. As if he wasn't just talking to himself out loud too, just then. Where could he run? Far enough to pretend he never saw her?
Floundering, he seized on the next question that drifted into his mind. "Um, what's your name?"
no subject
Questions helped. Talking in general, having something to respond to, helped a great deal.
"Xion," she answered, slowly. He'd mentioned something about help, hadn't he? "Aqua," she added, slowly, "Aqua and Roxas. They... they'll help. They can help. Please, just..." She trailed off, not sure how to put to words how much she wanted her master, her friend, and her best friend there. She didn't even realize how Aqua being a member of the Healer's Guild would likely help too.
She just wanted them there. Having them nearby would help, she knew it would.
