((Open voice test post for working out this trollbutt.))

1) So. Welcome to the World That Never Was, where Xigbar's chilling out. At least, he looks pretty chilled out...

2) This jerk's teamed up with you on a mission, or for some Organization goal that for once he's got to work with an outsider for.

3) Name an AU... Pokemans? Purse owners? Foggy nonsense?

4) Any other suggestions?

[By all rights, it should perhaps be Luxord sent on this particular mission. There's no mistaking the fact that the details involve something to do with the space-time continuum, at any rate. But Luxord is also their best bet to get the truth of what's currently happening in Wonderland and so the mission has fallen to Xigbar instead.

The world is an out of the way one, too. One that not even the Heartless have touched. In fact, they very nearly can't. Something here seems to repel them and it's most certainly not the light. Just an odd quirk of something. But the answers are locked up tight, and all the promising leads seem to lead back to a man by the name of Erebos.

Fortunately, the name isn't common. But it would take a very well travelled sort of individual to realize that it isn't entirely aligned with the usual patterns of names on this world, although it's close enough to check. It would take someone who's actually dug through the trivialities of myth and legend on far-distant worlds to pick up the meaning behind it. But in either case, he's been aware of Xigbar's presence on this world ever since Xigbar arrived.

But of course, he isn't going to see just anyone. If Xigbar wants the answers out of him then he's just going to have to come and track him down.]

[And he's in the process of doing just that.

The name'd reminded him of the sorts of things one might hear in Olympus, first of all, on hearing it... a little more investigation, and - yes. Olympus and a very similar world. Strange how things matched from place to place, sometimes...
A world-traveller showing off in plain sight? Well, now.

So he's been quietly following those leads, indeed. Enjoying the change of pace, as it were. He's at least managed to find his way to this Erebos' last known location, but he's stopped asking questions for a little. He's just - listening, for now. The stories, the rumours.
Interesting, interesting.]

[Showing off he might be. But only to those who would know. And with most people on this world not being nearly so well traveled as they are it tends to mostly come across as an uncommon name. Which is just the way he's always preferred it. A little bit of the unusual to stand against the background, but just enough normality to fit in with the rest of the people.

Still, he can't precisely blame anyone for taking a moment, even if they are seeking him out. Especially when he knows very well what the rumors say. In fact, Xigbar might find that his quarry isn't all that far away either. This is certainly not anything like his base of operations, but he hasn't left just yet either. After all, he has his own share of contacts - most of whom are kept quite thoroughly hypnotized - and so he's quite aware that someone is following his trail.

And given that he's fairly certain this latest person to seek him out is also not originally from this world it's interesting enough to stir him to a certain amount of observation. The question is, have the scattered description been enough for even the glimpses of him that Xigbar will surely have caught be enough to draw him into the sort of shadows that he's been lurking in?]
