video; open to action; backdated to monday

[charmedbymemories]

[The feed opens up to three girls crowded around in front of it, looking as if they were trying very hard to keep a straight face. At first one wouldn’t think too much of a couple of friends gathered around together, especially on a day like April Fools, but upon closer inspection, they all have the same face. The hair is different, one being a redhead, one black haired, and one blonde, but their facial construction and eyes are spot on identical, almost as if they were a pair of triplets. This theory is supported as they open their mouths to speak, and each of them sounds exactly the same, save a few quirks in their tone here and there. For those that know of the girls well, there is no real indication that anyone is anything but who they appear to be.]

H-hey everyone! Not sure if we’ve all had the chance to introduce ourselves yet. My name is Kairi...

[She waves cheerfully at the camera, seeming to grow in confidence as the scene goes on. The blonde standing next to her raises her hand a little in greeting, giving the camera a soft and demure smile.]

My name is Naminé, it’s a pleasure to meet you all.

[The dark-haired girl finally takes her turn, waving with a little grin.] And I’m Xion.

While we’ve all been here for a while, it occurred to us that none of us had ever been on camera before together. And, well...

[She looks over at the other two girls, the corner of her mouth quirking up a tiny bit.]

We all have rather similar features, which has lead to some confusion in the past. I suppose you could consider us sisters, if you’d like to. We just wanted to clear up any future confusion, and introduce ourselves to you all properly. Ah, do you two have anything to add...?

[Kairi’s mouth twitches slightly, eyes crinkling in amusement at some hidden joke.]

Nope! I think that just about covers it.

[Xion can’t hide her giggles as easily as the others, the sound muffled behind her hands.] That’s all. We’re at Nami’s workplace Le belle tasse au café right now, so if you’d like to come have lunch with us, feel free! We like making new friends.

Bye!

[And with another wave, Kairi reaches forward to shut off the feed. However, as she fumbles around with the buttons, all three girls begin giggling madly, just before the feed cuts. Now whatever could that be about?]

Action:

Café;

The three girls are sitting outside the café on one of the sun tables, chatting and eating and smiling at everyone that passes by. Totally innocent. Yes. Obviously you should come speak to them.

Castle;

Early in the morning before the network post had even gone up, things were seemingly calm around their home considering what the date was. Kairi, Xion, and Naminé were merely lingering around the main sitting area together, chatting casually and occasionally glancing around to see if anyone else was awake. What were they up to...? Nothing, obviously. Just a couple girls sitting around, doo doo doo~♫

(ooc: all responses will be coming from seashellsbytheseashore, colors are kairi, nami, xion. Castmates, feel free to bother them either in the Castle option or the Café option! thank you pixle for providing us a horrible french name for it)

Action

[all_wound_up]

[Nano's met all three of them separately before, at least briefly, but she's never quite put together just how similar all three of them really look to one another. But now that she's seen them all together and on the feed, it really makes sense.

And given that they've all treated her nicely in the past and that it's an open invite, she decides to show up for lunch. It'll be a nice chance to get to know them all better.]

Xion, Namine, Kairi! Hello!

[seashellsbytheseashore]

[Kairi turns and after a quick (and gone so fast you'd have to be paying attention to see it), almost nervous expression flashes across her face, she smiles.]

Hello Nano! How've you been?

[seashellsbytheseashore]

[Naminé places a hand on Kairi's shoulder gently for a moment, as if reassuring her.]

It's wonderful to see you again. Are you here to join us for lunch?

[video]

[shibuyasmusic]

Hm... I wonder what's so funny to you three~

[Joshua just gives a small grin before looking at Xion.]

This wouldn't happen to be the Xion I know, is it? I can't see your neck... So it's not exactly easy to tell.

[video]

[seashellsbytheseashore]

Kairi and Nami told me about you. I'm not your Xion, I'm sorry.

[video]

[shibuyasmusic]

That's alright. It's a pleasure to meet you, anyway. I was well acquainted with the Xion from Alpha Omega.

My name is Joshua.

[video]

[seashellsbytheseashore]

Hello, Joshua. Are you feeling any better?

[video]

[shibuyasmusic]

Much. Though I'd be even better if my attempt to extract this wretched collar had actually worked.

What were you three so giggly about, though? I'm curious to know.

[video]

[seashellsbytheseashore]

[One reply comes a little later than the others]

Hey, Joshua. Glad to you seem to be doing better.

action;

[feelingepic]

[... wow. Uh. Okay. He never actually put two and two together, but... they really do look and sound alike. It's... really weird. For a moment he's caught wracking his brain trying to remember why that might be, but he's coming up blank. If Sora told him why Naminé and Xion looked and sounded alike, he can't remember at all.

But, he's out and about today anyway, so he might as well stop by... About a half hour later, Neku is making his way downtown to the cafe, looking around for the girls. And once he sees them, he gives a... slightly awkward half-wave.]

[seashellsbytheseashore]

[Naminé is quick to raise a hand back in greeting, a smile crossing over her expression that's a little wider than usual, but quickly subdues back down to a softer tone.]

Hello, Neku. Were you here to have lunch with us?

action

[hetried]

"Wha... Kairi?"

Well he recognized at least one of the girls... and the other two girls kind of looked exactly like the one he did recognize, so...

Whatever don't mind him as he just sort of saunters up to the cafe, just outside the area with the sun tables.

"Whoah... I knew you had a sister, but I didn't know you had another one too. Are you triplets or something?"

Re: action

[seashellsbytheseashore]

It took a moment before she responded, almost as if she was distracted by something. "Wh- huh?" she stammered, before smiling wryly.

"Oh, , well... it's a bit more complicated than that, but... sort of."

[Action; Café]

[bondsofsuffering]

[...Well this is convenient.

He wasn't planning to originally, but if he understood his request correctly, these should be the three he's looking for. So, without any further ado...

Have a green-haired guy dropping by your table.]

You three must be the ones who put out that message earlier. Mind if I sit with you?

[Action; Café]

[seashellsbytheseashore]

[She tilts her head a little, looking briefly at the other two girls questioningly, before looking back at him and nodding.]

Yeah, that's us.

[She glances over at the other two girls again, looking almost nervous]

[video] is this like eeny meeny miny mo?

[misogynistic]

[Adachi hasn't ever seen Naminé before, so he just gapes. Guys, this guy is an elite for crying out loud. He can totally figure this one out! He can totally, totally do it! Yeah!]

There's another... [Adachi trails off as he clears his throat.] ...A-Ah, I'm sorry!

[video]

[seashellsbytheseashore]

Hm?

[~♫]

so about dat castle action...

[destinedwaters]

[This is not!mom.

This is not!mom pausing a moment before snickering. Well, she can at least pick out one of them with ease even if she didn't know what was going on someone had to do their makeup after all.]

I take it you're going to have a girls' day out after this, right?

[seashellsbytheseashore]

Oh yes! We're going out to have fun~

[ action! ]

[componere]

[ joshua's seen the post, but hadn't realized that his walk today would lead him right past the café where the girls had set up camp. he had been too absorbed in his thoughts, his hands shoved into his back pockets as he walks along. the sight of three near identical faces pops him out of his head, and he slows down as he realizes how strange the sight is... he looks up at the name of the restaurant and back at the three. well... that answers that question.

kairi was here, wasn't she? he hadn't been in contact since their brief conversation over the network, but he'll take a moment to see if she's looking in his direction. she'd know what he looked like, right? no need to blow her off... she was a casual acquaintance, after all. all he'd need to do was nod and be on his way. ]

[ action! ]

[seashellsbytheseashore]

[Xion perks up when she sees Joshua, waving to him. She can immediately tell that it isn't her Joshua from Facility, since he's not wearing the collar, but seeing as some of the 'originals' of her friends are here in Hinoto-Ri, it seems like a good idea to get to know them too.]

Hello Joshua.

video;

[spaztastic]

[Whoa. Shiki kind of stares into the feed for a bit, realizing that both she and Eri resemble these girls too. What are the odds? I'm looking at you, Squeenix

Anyway, she recognizes Xion and decides to say hello after recovering from her brief moment of shock.]

Hey! Nice to meet you three. I'm Shiki.

[To Xion.] I hope you've found the perfect name for your kitten.

video;

[seashellsbytheseashore]

Hi Shiki.

[She blinks when she realizes she's being addressed, looking thoughtful.]

Oh, um, not yet, but I'm still thinking about it. Do you have any suggestions?

[terra_nullius]

[Good morning, girls. Someone hasn't really slept but what else is new. Someone also isn't aware of what the day is, having no context at all for it. Seeing all three of them together is strange... he hadn't realized how identical they looked before. He stops, blinking at them, staring in surprise.]

Ah, girls..?

[seashellsbytheseashore]

Yes?

[Xion turns to him curiously, her teacup poised in midair.]
