[.001] [Video] + [Text] (Early Morning) - Open to Action for Sigyn's Welcome Hall + Right Outside

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[The video clicks on not to a view of a person, but a window. Outside the window is snow, snow, and more snow... and what appears to be a moving snowman outside. Those with the proper knowledge might recognize it as the snowman from Sigyn's district.]

...Is that supposed to happen? [It comes from off-screen. She does her best to keep sight of the snowman until it disappears from view.] Has anyone been here long enough to know? [At that point, the camera goes still for a few moments, then begins to move again as she steps over to the door and, after a moment of hesitance, opens it. When she does, the snowman is right there, and it startles her enough for to drop the bracelet, effectively shutting off the feed.]

[A little while later, there's a text message added.]

I think it's okay. He seemed nice.

What, you've never seen a walking snowman before?


[ shhh, he knows she hasn't, but he can't resist poking just a little fun. ]

[Voice]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[Oh.]

[She knows that voice. It's even more startling to hear than it was for her to discover that Ventus, Aqua and Vanitas were in the city, because this one belongs to someone who's supposed to be dead. That's not to say that she's not happy to hear that he isn't, but it's still terribly difficult to believe her ears. Surely there might be someone else who sounds like that...? It would make more sense than him being there live and in the flesh. Something in the back of her mind keeps telling her there's no way it's not him, but perhaps a little more information might help her reconcile that feeling with the facts.]

...You have?

[Her voice is just a bit cautious. It's not really a question so much her attempting to half-poke fun back, since accusing what might be a stranger of being a (supposedly) dead guy she knows strikes even her as a bit awkward.]

[ axel actually likes namine for what she did for him in the castle, what with giving him a good show to kick back and watch. thus, he has no reason at all to be mean or unkind to her. instead, his favor for her lies somewhere in the neutral zone, not knowing about what the future holds for him. ]

Naaaah. But it sounds cool, doesn't it?

[Voice]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[...Her ears are either very persistent in deceiving her or correct.]

I guess so.

[Pause.]

...Axel?

voice.

[soflattered.livejournal.com]

Yyyup!

[ he snickers a little, amused by her seeming confusion. ]

Didn't think I'd be seeing you again so soon, Namine.

[dorkways.livejournal.com]

I'd never heard of live snowmen before! I mean, not outside of baby stories.

[Text] (I'm fine with HS typing quirks btw. :|b)

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

Baby stories? [She vaguely recalls hearing something like that in a memory, once, now that he brings it up, but she can't place the name or anything other than a vague familiarity.]

[Text] (ok awesome!! :D)

[dorkways.livejournal.com]

[Text] (:D)

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

Oh.

I haven't seen any movies. [The name sounds like it might be right, though. Either way, it's an extremely dim recollection and it takes her a while to work out even,] They're supposed to be nice right? The snowmen in the stories I mean.

[Text] (:D)

[dorkways.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I don't remember them being evil. Besides, even if they were, you can make them melt super easily.

[ Link nods in reply to her questions ]

They're not dangerous.

[Text]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

I'm glad. He seemed nice but sometimes it's hard to tell.

[--Wait, there was a 'they' there.] Do you mean that there's more than one?

video forever

[masterswords.livejournal.com]

[ Another nod! Sorry, Link doesn't talk much. He holds a silver relic. ]

Did you get one from them?

[Text forever--]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[She blinks at the item. It's not the same thing, but maybe if there's more than one snowman, there are different gifts...?]

I got something but it wasn't like that. The snowman gave me a basket full of candy and ice cream. I'm not really sure if I should eat it.

[masterswords.livejournal.com]

[ At this point in time he's sure that they don't mean harm, so-- ] It'll be okay.

[audio]

[needsnarration.livejournal.com]

I haven't, but I'm not really surprised that it is happening.

[Text]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

Why not? Are there moving snowmen where you come from? [...Well,] I guess it does make sense for strange things to happen here. Plenty of them have already.

[audio]

[needsnarration.livejournal.com]

Well, there aren't any moving snowmen where I come from. ['Though it could happen.'] And I didn't expect anything less from a place like this.

[Text]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

I think you're right. We probably should expect something like this.

What do you think will happen next? [Not that he'd have any idea, it's more of a speculation than anything.]

[Voice]

[fortunes-arc.livejournal.com]

It doesn't appear to be a threat.

[And a moving snowman is rather cute, as long as it's not a murderous moving snowman.]

[Text]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

He didn't seem like one once I got to meet him. He was really nice and he gave me a basket with some candy and ice cream in it.

I'm not really sure I should eat it.

[Voice]

[fortunes-arc.livejournal.com]

The snowman gave you candy? That's rather...[Whoops, almost said adorable.]...curious. Did he require anything before giving it to you, or was it just a gift?

[Text]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

I thought so too. [Why would a snowman be carrying around food? ...Do snowmen eat? Do they even have stomachs? It boggles the mind.]

He asked me for something warm but there wasn't anything warm to eat or drink ready and I don't know how to cook so I gave him a scarf.

[youlazybum]

Oh, what was he like?

[ There's a relaxed smile in her voice. This girl seems like she had been all kinds of uneasy before. ]

Kairi?]

[To hear that voice is quite a surprise. She's already had a few of those today, but this one still makes an impression nonetheless. As before, she doubts her ears, but that is a voice she's heard both briefly in her own life and plenty of in memories - someone else's, of course. It's easy enough to believe that they've taken Kairi as well, since the gods seem to be bent on collecting people from their world, whether it makes sense to or not. (Naminé still wonders what possible use they could have for Nobodies when they're asking for tears and laughter.) She'd held out hope that maybe Kairi had been exempt, that maybe she'd be safe in their own worlds and able to return to the islands. It had been too much to ask, apparently. At least Kairi would be able to spend some time with Riku again. Naminé will probably be thinking much the same thing once Sora shows up later in the day. All three of those kids deserve some time together.]

...Hello, Kairi. [The smile in her own voice is present but just the tiniest bit strained from sympathy. Naminé still intends to answer her question, too.] He seemed kind. He asked me for something warm, and gave me a basket with candy and ice cream because I gave him a scarf.
