OTA - Xion catch all for Mid Feb (CW: suicide mentions)

This is not how we stay hidden!

Well, Xion has come to accept that killing herself is pointless until she can find a way to erase people's memories of her here. But she is still trying to actively avoid letting people make memories of her, so she is mostly avoiding people. She hasn't been to her dorm, she might have ghosted into a few classes late if the door was left open, the stand in the shadows near the door, but would flee if spotted. In town she also tries to stick to the shadows and stay hidden.

Which works passably well for the first day or two. Until the incident. For some reason someone thought that she was someone else, some singer or... something. Some Somebody. They screamed a name, and when she looked over, confused, they took that to mean they were right. Next thing Xion knew a mob was forming, screaming that name and... chasing her. Because no way was she standing still for that, and even with her Keyblade and powers...what could she do? These weren't Nobodies, these weren't Heartless, she couldn't ATTACK. So she RAN.

Anyone want to help a Nobody?

Sunsets and surprises

So those who have already met Xion probably know that she thinks everything would be better if she were dead and forgotten. This isn't to say that her idea of this is groundless, but it is certainly concerning. So what might also be concerning is that she has developed a habit of exploring to find ledges and rooftops on tall buildings, looking for one where she could sit and watch the sunset.

But she's never told anyone this is what she is doing, or why she is wandering around ledges near the end of each day.... So it might look a little concerning...

"How do you not exist?" Peridot pressed. "Gems don't exactly hallucinate, you know. I'm pretty sure you have to exist if I can see you."

"Aren't you a real person?" Peridot pointed out. This girl certainly seemed like a normal human to her...

"So what is a Nobody, exactly?" Peridot asked, intrigued. Dealing with information from other worlds was often rather irritating, but it didn't change the fact that she enjoyed learning.

"Oh, so you don't have a heart? That's all?" Peridot tilted her head on a slight angle. "Why does that make you a Nobody. That's an awful name for a being. I don't have a heart, but I wouldn't let someone call me a Nobody."

In theory, Peridot always wants everyone's full attention. The reality can be more complicated, but she's okay with it for now.

"No. But like I said, that doesn't mean I want to be called a Nobody. Don't you have a name?"

"Um, no. I don't think I like being called that, either. Especially since I'm a Gem anyway," Peridot pointed out.

"In the most basic sense, sure. But I've been infused with life. I mean, obviously. I'm not an organic lifeform, like a human, but I'm still alive. And honestly? Far superior to organic lifeforms in most ways." She paused before adding, "I've been having to explain this so much since I came here..."
