This might not... Ah, how do I ask this? Lately there have been disappearances, but there have also been reappearances, and--

[ Hello, Johto. The feed snaps on showing a Garchomp and a Typhlosion curled up almost contentedly in a circle around their small trainer like sleeping guard dogs. She's sitting against the body of her resting Garchomp, one hand holding the Gear while the other holds a pencil against her chin in thought. Deciding she can't really put her question any other way, she goes: ]

If you could give yourself notes if... if you disappear and come back to Johto, but with no memories, what could you tell yourself? What's worth remembering?

[ She tilts her head to the side, silently hoping she isn't bothering people with this sort of question, but it's been nagging her mind for a while. She continues to jot down a few more notes, quietly muttering some of them: ]

You know who you are. You're Xion. Xion. [ Scratch, scratch goes the pencil. ] You... have a Cyndaquil named Axel. You got-- oh!

[ Xion puts the pencil down for a moment and sifts through her pocket and pulls this little trinket up. ]

You can win if you just try.

Notes to Myself

Your name is Xion. Xion. ~~No. I~~
You started with a Pokemon called a Cyndaquil. You named him Axel. There's also Bell, a Togekiss now, who you retrieved from Sora when you were first here. It's complicated.
Roxas is here. Namine is here. Roxas knows about who you are and what you are. He's still your best friend. Namine is also your best friend.
You've made lots of friends: Lightning, Leon, Cecil, Sora (yeah, he's here!), Riku, Ventus, Minnie, Fang, Lancer, Saber, Talim, Kari, Rangiku, Atsuro... and many more. And the people that disappear. Please don't forget them. It'd be kind of ironic that be would, huh?
You're in a group to fight Team Rocket. They're the bad guys.
Your friends are your power.
At whatever point in time you're coming from... the future isn't that scary at all. You know you're brave.

You finally...

[ OOC: Badge is mod-approved! If anyone wants to personally interact with Xion, she's hanging around the rooftop of Goldenrod's Department Store. You could also get ice cream. ]

That's what I meant: we're here. We can't be sure if they really do get a warning, but if we pay more attention on the people that we know, maybe something will fit.

[She shakes her head at that.] I don't think it works that way, Xion. Hope disappeared when we were in the same building, and there wasn't any warning at all. One second he was there, and the next he was gone. He didn't react or cry out, and I didn't notice anything until it was too late.

You didn't notice anything? That - it might be a bit weird to say - but that might be a clue in itself. Somehow.

Only if the clue is the wooden floors of an Inn not creaking as much, or one less set of footsteps in the hallway. But that could mean anything. It doesn't mean that one more person has gone home.

--ah, sorry, Lightning. Er, for bringing something like that up.

[She shakes her head at that. Why apologize for curiosity? No such thing as a dumb question, after all. Even if the memories make her heart ache.]

Don't worry about it. He came back afterwards, so it doesn't matter now.

[ She smiles slightly. ] I hope he stays here with you, then.

[Soft smile. Hope, huh? Xion probably doesn't even realize the pun she just made.] Yeah. Me too. Third time's the charm, right?

[ Nope, she didn't. Square mechanics of naming. You have to love them. ]

Right... Well, this'd be my second. Hehehe.
