OOC: Oh darn it, chula-claire :(. Okay, see ya. It's funny, not only to I live close to one of you, which is cool, my stepdad comes from Michigan, and we sometimes visit his family and stay there for awhile xP. The coincidences are astounding xDD. But at least we're all on the same time. And yeah, Nymph logged off too :/. Vexen fondled over a piece of fake skin, sewing and testing it like a mad scientist, pouring a bit of liquid from a jar on it as he continued. It was part of his puppet project that he was working on, and it needed to be flawless. He already had who it would look like, the hard part was how to make it live. He heard the girl shuffle behind him in impatience, and mumbled, not shifting his eyes away, "You can sleep if you have nothing else to do. And don't respond to this, by the way. I don't want to hear you speak right now."
OOC: Alright then xD. I'm hoping you'll manage it. "Really? After French, I have World History, greeeeat, and then I have Gym with Tifa and Roxas, don't know who else is in it, then I got lunch, again with Tifa, Roxas, and now...you," Axel tapped her on the nose on the "you" part in the end, as he fingered the iPod in his pants pocket with his other free hand, to make sure it was there where he placed it when heading in to Saïx's office. It was then he remembered what the man told him. "Oh yeah, Saïx said that no teacher, or him, better catch you crawling in the night again after curfew." It was then he gazed at Rei thoughtfully, studying her, getting back to what Angel mentioned. Axel didn't like Rei the way she did to him, but she was very attractive, and extremely pretty. She wouldn't make a bad girlfriend either. But that spark with him wasn't there...yet, and he felt guilty about it. It will be a good idea for her to stay a friend until further notice, and they both had the dance to look forward to.
OOC: I live in New Jersey. I don't think it will kill to give that information xD. So yeah, I'm around the New York area, in another state, but close enough.
OOC: You're here! And is raining and thundering where I live. I love that... Axel gasped as his head rised up out of the water, his lungs breathing in the air as quick as possible from the lack that it had for awhile. Shakind his head to make his hair dry and puff again, he opened his eyes, fluttering them as he heard another gasping splash that would mean Larxene also made it. His body was slightly shaken from the fall, for once, was happy that he didn't have a pulsing organ in his chest, or else he would have had a heart attack. Free falling was awesome and gratifying, a thrill, however, and he wouldn't mind trying it again. It was hard to stay afloat with all your clothes, shoes, and black cloak to sink you, but he paddled strong, and he knew she could also. His eyes gazed over to Larxene, the body of water covering his body up to his chin, a sheepish smile on his face. He wished she wasn't mad about this. Or murder him. He might get lucky even. He laughed. "How was the bath?"
Saïx sighed, cursing in his mind as Zexion found a way to escape and evade the inquiring. He thought over if he shoulde follow the Cloaked Schemer, but since he figured he didn't know where this intruder was, there isn't a point to come. Axel ignored her scream of terror as they neared the ground, and trying very hard to concentrate enough, as the feeling of falling was limitless on his body. When they near the heard concrete, as if they were going to be splattered, the seconds their bodies where about to slam, a black portal appeared in the cement as they went through it instead of clashing on the asphalt. It wasn't even a second before they got transported, and still falling at high speed, crashed into a salty sea of water headfirst, the smack of the surface blinding Axel for a moment as his body went under the water, bringing him deep in. He closed his eyes as to no tlet the salt burn, and held his breath in time, making sure he didn't lose Larxene as she got out of his grasp, but managed to stop her from separating by snatching her hand. Floating for a moment, he began to propelled his leg and his one arm to swim up, pulling Larxene with him, and hoping she followed his lead, to at least help him in this process.
"Hmm..." Saïx muttered, looking at Zexion knowingly. If it was under control, he wouldn't have mentioned to him in the first place, or went to him to discuss. If he wasn't going to give, then maybe a certain pyromaniac would. "Number VI, I know your tricks, and you're hiding something. Either you tell me this emotional attachments that Axel has to 'certain things'...or I have to get you both in here and question you two. Confide, that's a order." If it had anything to do with Axel, is enough to be proved interesting. "You'll see," Axel grinned again as he stared at her, a devious look in his eyes, he knew. He moved his arms to circled her waist tightly and securely, so hard that her body was practically smashed against his, but he didn't want to take any chances. There was no way he was going to lose his grip on her. His hand that was in the arm that held her grabbed her own hand that was on the side, just in case. "Don't worry, I will never hurt you, just hold on to me. It's by way of freefalling." And with that said, he pushed them both off the tower unexpectedly, Axel stopping himself from yelling in a whoop as he felt the rush of falling down a great height made his stomach flip-flop and turned over until it felt like it was stuck in his throat, butterflies and shivers of numbness corusing through his body as the wind went harsh in his face as they spiraled down. This was freaking amazing! And he almost lost his concentration until a part of his empty mind right now was telling him to remember how to get out of this.
"Hmph," Vexene huffed, looking at the gril suspiciously for a while, before he pointed to a vacant chair that was close to his desk where he was working. He had the letter that Max had given him there, as he forget to get rid of it, but that will be checked out later. With Zexion. "Just sit over there and don't speak. I need to concentrate." "I'm sure we all would," Axel agreed honestly, nodding his head, yet his tone was a bit joshing. He had to let out a bit of a laugh, his shoulders shaking from the mirth, as the scene of a lemon pop being thrown at Larxene's skull replayed again. That was the most amusing thing he had seen in a while. Looking over at her, she saw that a bit of of the icy treat was a bit in her forehead where it hit, and he shook his head with a grin. But it was then he got a idea, that was dangerous, stupid, and will probably get him killed by the hands of Larxene, but otherwise sounded fun and daring. He loved dares. Standing up on the edge, bringing her with him as he still held her arm, he eyed her with a innocent expression, that was obviously false. "Hey, Buggy? Did you ever experience going to the beach by air?" "I actually want to discuss it now," Saïx stated more sternly, unmoving and relentless on wanting to se what Zexion had to say on the matter of one of our members. But, he was intrigued and quite perplexed that the other Organization were still invading their world and halls. "As long as he is browsing and not doing anything, I'm going to make this a chance for you to explain what was going on with Axel, disrupting, or getting in the way, was it?"
OOC: xDD. I didn't really see the hedge thing, lo. But it is unique. And I don't take the manga as really canon, but it wouldn't surprise me if she actually did in the game. She looks the type to hate them xP, sadist. Vexen sighed annoyingly as he eyed the girl again, wondering why he was placed to be Zexion's caretaker of prisoners. So much for returning to his work, which he barely even started to get back until Zexion appeared. "I'm guessing I'm babysitting again..." "No, just...tasting the bittersweetness that reminds me of you," Axel silkily responded, purposely as he gave her her a mocking romantic expression, making it more obvious as if sighing heavily. It was the truth, though he'll play it as it was nothing but a sardonic retort. It was then he heard little children voices, and he cringed. Not that he hated them, even though he couldn't as a Nobody, but he definitely didn't enjoy their company. He watched as Larxene took care of it, only for him to hold back a laugh as the kid chucked the pop in her head. Axel grabbed her arm before she went off on a killing rampage. He didn't want this to be ruined anymore than it was, and he send her a look to calm down. "Relax. They're a bunch of brainless brats anyway that need to fall off the clock tower." "Number VI," Saïx acknowledged, having been waiting for him after a while. He had gotten the news of the intruders, but he wanted to speak to Zexion for a few questions, preferably what he had told him before about Axel. "I've been meaning to have a discussion with you."
OOC: Are you talking about the real Larxene? Because Axel and her are on top of the clock tower.
"Later," Axel replied back, watching her go off with a smile, still a bit startled from what she let out before. What he was worried about was if he was leading Rei on? Axel didn't want to do that, there's nothing sure or positive of what may come. He swirled his head to look at Rei sideways, not wnating to ditch her by going to class when she waited for him all this time. He wouldn't even care if he was late by that. "Ready to go, my greater admirer of mine?"
OOC: Lol. Why not Porcupine or Hedgehog? Axel let out a mocking chuckle, the type that will make a person get irritated as the sound of it, staring at her with a confident and sardonic look. "Hedges? You mean my hair is like shrubs and bushes trained and cut together to make a shape or barrier? How droll. Oh, Buggy, Buggy, Bug, LightningBug, SparkBug, just Bug. I'm beginning o tthink that I gave you too much admiration for what I thought was a versatile wit." It was silent as he gobbled the cool treat, faster than intended, because he wasn't really hungry and his stomach felt like lurching, but it will be a shame to waste a ice cream...and his munny. When he was done, he licked his lips, placing the bare stick on the surface with his own next to it. He flicked one of her strands for affect. "Besides, you look adorable with those."
Axel rolled his eyes, shaking his head. She really put him on the spot there, but that was the truth. For now, he didn't return Rei's feelings for him, it was too early too, and why ruined a good friendship already with those type of things getting in the way? He knew he wasn't in denial either, a person knew when they were in denial, and they just went with it for a personal reason or other and let it delude themselves. "Exactly. I'll see you later, then?" He also remembered that he had to get to class just as fast, knowing he had told Saïx that there would be no more lates.
"Glad to see you too," Axel honestly replied, as he returned the hug for awhile much tighter, before Angel broke away. Hearing her remark though, he eyed her surprised, his expression questioning. Did he actually hear her right? What did they do to show anything of the sort? "What?! Me and Rei aren't 'love birds', she's just..." He paused there for a second, not wanting to say 'friend' in case he hurt Rei's feelings in the process, and he didn't want to fully deny it either, as you never know what happens in the future. "...she's just a person I care about very much..." Okay, at least he didn't have to lie.
"You don't see me moping like a baby, right?" Axel questioned with his eyebrows raised, a smile on his lips, walking over to where Rei was, motioning Angel to follow. "I did not get suspended. It was close though, I just have to behave like a good little boy from now on."
Vexen was aware that Xangel was not with him anymore, and of course, he knew the perpetrator. He sighed as he found himself alone in Zexion's room where he was going to take Xangel, wondering why the Cloaked Schemer had to take such rash actions. Guess the young man didn't trust him enough not to mess things up, it seemed. Shaking his head at the illusion, he decided to portal back to his lab, wanting to finish a project he had been working on. The point was, Xangel was in Zexion's grasp and he was free for the rest of the day. "Well, you looked down, so I thought you were, "Axel countered back, sending her a arrogant knowing look. "And I'll be damned if you deny that it doesn't bother you, even if just a little." It was then he heard Larxene's other remark, tapping his forehead once again. Axel rolled his eyes, a small smirk appearing on his face as he gazed at her. "I call you 'Buggy', because is my pet name for you, I already told you that. Is not like I say it to insult, you know. And...it fits you and your insect looking antennae that you call your 'hair'." He gave her a sarcastic grin. "That's a insult, by the way." OOC: And yes, that's what I was actually planning xP. At least Zexion got her.
Axel gave a nod as he got up from the chair, not believing his luck, though he knew this was the last straw, and he had to prove himself to Saïx to stay in Twilight High. Feeling joyful at the moment, he looked at the said Vice-Principal, giving him a very gratefully grin, before it turned into one of appreciation. "You know you're my favorit-" "You're dismissed." "Right," Axel agreed, clapping his hands together as he gave another firm nod to Saïx's unemotional face, and turned around quickly, heading towards the door to get out of what could've been his death. Grabbing the knob, and twisting it, he opened the door to leave, only to be stopped momentarily by Saïx's voice once more. "Oh, and tell your friend that I better, or any teacher that is in charge of night shift, that she better not come in after curfew," Saïx remarked to the redhead, getting another different set of papers from his desk without looking up. Axel didn't say anything or gave any notion that he heard him as he went outside the secretaries' office, and shut the door behind him, leaning his back against it for a moment as he gave out another breath of relief. Blinking, and his eyes searching around, he spotted Rei by the window waiting with some kind of sketch pad, and even he saw Angel waiting for him too, patiently. Axel didn't know he was adored so much to get more company on his depressing minutes in the apathetic man's office, yet he felt loved. A smirk on his face, he rised from the surface of the door where he was resting, and made his way passed all the desks, reaching the counter and going through the waist-high swinging door that was at the corner end of the huge, wooden counter that it was connected. He smirked. "Isn't that sweet? I have loyal admirers."
OOC: Dayum...everyone is using Axel and Larxene as guinea pigs xD. I feel special, in a very frightened way xP. Will be in Twilight Town for a quite a while, I guess. "Actually, I do mind if you followed. We'll discuss about our plans for Axel later, if you wait for me here. I'll just have to tuck this one in, and will return shortly," Vexen cryptically replied, grabbing the paper that the guy had given him from the table, and glanced back at Xangel. "Here we go then." And he portalled them both out, darkness surrounding them as they disappeared. Axel took Larxene's ice cream with a frown, a bit guilty that she was acting this way because of the subject that he began. Holding her tighter, he licked the sea-salt from its melting drips, before taking a bite of out it, thinking of a way to cheer her up, or back to normal. It was weird for Larxene to be moody, and even though the discussion had stung him as well, he tried his best not to think on it. There's no point on dweling on the past, what is done, is done, and even if it hurts you, you have to move forward. He remembered his mom telling him that, even though she died right after as well. "Don't think too much on it, Buggy. It happened, you can't forget it, but it being on your mind will only bring you down."
"Yes, Sir," Axel responded seriously, nodding his head like a bobblehead doll, extremely relieved that he wasn't going to get suspended. He heaved out a shivering sight as he breathed more calmly, finding that a huge weight has been lifted off of him, and he was finally able to laid back in the chair to relax, closing his eyes at the close call, the dark tension diminishing. Axel really did have to get his act together, he'll still break rules, but he couldn't skip classes anymore, at least not as much as before, and never be late again. Ever. "I'll do my best, I promise." It was then he heard the bell ring signaling first period to be over. Saïx tried not to give him a reprimanding stare, as he wouldn't see it anyway with his eyes shut. He had presented more faith in him, and if that's broken, there will be no more Axel in the school premises. Placing back Axel's folder and his card back into the opened drawer, he closed it quickly, glancing back to the boy in front of him. "I suggest you get to your second class, wouldn't want you to be late after your little oath. You're dismissed."
Vexen just looked at the letter warily, eyeing this new stranger from the other side. Of course, he wasn't going to fully trust him, or at all, when he knew that perhaps he had his own plans, after all, he was from their rival Organization. Vexen had a right to be suspicious of him. And again, Zexion must have a reason for letting her stay here. His lips in a thin-line, he snatched the paper, but placed it down on the table, speaking, "Very well, excellent job. I hope nobody had spotted you?" He raised a eyebrow, before turning to Xangel, "Now that this is out of the way, if you don't mind, I would like to show you where you are going to stay. Unless you want to sleep in the kitchen floor..." Axel rubbed her arm softly with his hand softly, the happiness, or at least the peaceful atmosphere that it was, sucked out of the air as the conversation turned pensivness and mourning. He hated when the tension got this way, he couldn't handle it, and it bothered him just to see that their stories dampened the mood. Maybe he really shouldn't have brought it up, because he reminded himself, as well as Larxene. He breathed in as the wind flowed through them both, and faced her. "Mine's are too. After what I told you, I don't remember much at all excep those events. And...maybe is better that way. But, let's forget about it for now." He sighed, wanting to change the gloomy conversation already. He rolled his eyes down at Larxene's already melting ice cream, and he pointed at it, with a weak smile. "You're going to finish that?"
OOC: Lol xP. Alright then. See ya *sigh*. Saïx didn't say anything, as he wasn't sure himself. He had gave Axel all he could, and now, didn't know to take the risk to help him learn the hard way. Axel took in the silence, and snapped his head, looking startled, a shiver passing through his body at what might be his punishment. No, he couldn't, there was no way that this was happening. Frantically, he shifted his eyes, he had to find a way...find a way to deal with him or escape what would be his future. That cannot happen to him, there has to be a approach to fix this. "Sir, I'll follow what I have to do. Just give me one more chance, one more, and you'll see results, I promise! I won't be late or skip classes, I can't promise I won't talk back to teachers, but I swear I'll behave. Just...please?" And he meant it, or at least, he would try. More like try really, he just needed to get out of this. Saïx remained impassive in face, thinking it over. Axel did seem honest, and quite frightened at what his fate can be, yet he has wasted many tries on him, and he was uncertain whether to do so again. Xemnas never took care of anything like this, and took it upon himself on disciplining the students, and now was a time where he had to make a decision. Gazing at Axel's worried and pleading eyes, he took over some probabilities, weighing the ups and downs. In the end...once more. That was all. Once more, and if he messed up, that would be it. No pity. "I have come to the conclsuion not to suspend you as of yet, I'm giving you yet one final chance, and you better get your act together fast. I'm warning you Axel, take in the final. Screw up, and your suspension won't be hesitated. For now, you'll have two month's detention, that you will come to each day after school, or face what you fear." He placed a pointy and sharp expression. "Is that understood?"
