Larxene just simply saluted to Xaldin's "Gesundheit" as she literally gulped in a fast space her orange juice, wanting to get it over with quickly and go to bed. In a few seconds all of the juice was gone, and taking a breather through her mouth as her nose couldn't be used, she licked her lips, placing the cup in the sink along with her plate still there. Hmm...she had forgotten about that, yet Xaldin said he would take care of it. Either way, she couldn't do it right now, just in case the pills began kicking. That was the problem with Benadryl...total drowsiness to the point where your eyes shut into sleep. Massaging her neck a little, she grabbed the box of orange juice and walked to the huge refrigerator, opening the lid, and placing it on the section where her name was. Yes, she was protective that way. Closing it back again, she walked over to the counter once more only to get her Benadryl box, before adding to Xaldin's retreating form, "Keep saying 'Gesundheit' and soon enough, you'll turn out to be German.Then again, I always wondered..." Now that her mind was on it, she was truly curious, and it was something that she had contemplated of before...so she had to know before she left. "What's up with your dreadlocks hair? Fan of Jamaica?"
OOC: Lol xP, but really, Zexion isn't one to play around the main point of why's he's there. Axel needs to know who he's speaking to here, though ;P. Zexion took a deep breath, and for a moment, his cool slightly slipped. He couldn't even seem to get a proper conversation with the guy, and he wondered what had Larxene so interested. However, it was interesting how he ignored the question by asking another one. He already had half of the answer by that action alone, the redhead unknowing. Simply putting his arms on top of his book, he shifted a bit on his chair, before replying seriously, "A question that needs to be answered. First, stop eating marshmellows when I am speaking to you, I should've known you wouldn't have manners. Second, stop acting like a fool. I had to unfortunately run into Larxene, she came angrily and spat at me where I got my book from, and she went to the library furious. Obviously, considering she chucked a cookie in the fireplace, I tend to find what was the deal with the...cookie, I suppose." He kept out her "glassy eyes" from his explanation, he didn't think it was needed. "Keep in mind that this is hypothetically speaking, and thus, I ask again, what would you do if Larxene did like you? Is not rocket science, Axel. You would've been better off answering it instead of swerving around the question. I can already read you."
You pwn. That's all I have to say. I was getting kind of tired of all the Vexen bashing. I think I'm one of the few that actually feel sorry for the guy...or at least show some sympathy, especially as he had the harshest death out of all the Org. (though in the original GBA CoM, Zexion's scene blacks out when confronting Repliku, and all you hear is the sound of a slashing blade *wince* Re: CoM really toned things down). Besides, the voice had to be fitted of a mad scientist, and just to add a bit of a easter egg, you know how Axel and Reno (from FF7) have the same voice actor? Yeah, well, Vexen got stuck with voice actor Nachi Nozawa, who voiced Professor Hojo in FF7: Dirge Of Cerberus and FF7: Crisis Core. For those who don't know who Professor Hojo is, let's just say Vexen isn't as creepy as you think he is.
OOC: I have...no idea o.O. Zexion simply scoffed unimpressively as he shut his eyes for a second, apparently amused at the "princess" add on. "Juvenile. Either way, I didn't come for childish verbal insults, and I would've preferred this to be a private conversation, though since Demyx was the one that started it..." He let him finish ordering his double espresso, before simply staring at him with the same normal and blank look on his face. He quietly and calmly began, wanting to get this over with, "Let's get straight to the point, shall we? Basically, going back to what Demyx had said, while it is unlikely that Larxene may like you, almost delusional, even, my question to you, Axel is...hypothetically speaking, of course: what would you do if she actually did like you?"
OOC: I don't mind :D. Hey, people should even take a example instead of writing a three word post most of the time. We need more people like that. Anyway, prepare for mine! >D I bid you to be forwarned, yet you could see by glance. Larxene had held her pose and arrangement without movement, her hand not even shaking a little from having the kunai in the air for so long as the pointy ends were dangerously ready to gauge out Axel's esophagus. She didn't even shift her eyes when Roxas went and placed some shaving cream on his head, which as random as that was, didn't interrupt the harsh and fired gaze she had on the redhead. Now...now she waited for his response. The problem with that was that it didn't come...she gave him a minute, then two, but other than mumbling nonsense, he said nothing. Needless to say, her eyebrows creased together curiously, as the question she asked wasn't that difficult to answer, yet with whatever reply he gave, she knew he was somehow bluffing. The look in his eyes she spotted deep within before wasn't joking. However, going into thought was a mistake on her part, because suddenly all she remembered was her vision spinning quickly and giving a slight gasp, before she found herself twirled around and placed on the carpeted floor instead, Axel now on top of her. He had secured her wrists in a unbreakable grip above her head as her kunai disappeared back into nothing from the clash. Larxene widened her eyes, admittingly caught by surprise as she gaped at him for awhile, only for him to get so, so close again. She swallowed tightly as she felt his hot breath to her mouth once more, his lips very near, but this time, she simply kept blinking. Her brain kicking in though, she went to at least struggle against his hold, her body moving to get out, but then her cheeks burned deeply and she immediately, as soon as possible, stopped. Why? Well...in the action of her fidgeting, she didn't take notice just how close their bodies actually were, so instead of succeeding in taking him off, she grinded into his pelvis accidentally...and anyone who had the hint of what that meant considering the knowledge of the male anatomy...could figure it out themselves. Just to add to the embarrassment even more, their chests also made contact as well, just unwanetd added bonus. Good job on that one, Larxene, you just made the position even more suggested. Though truthfully, what he did and how he took control somehow attracted her, she found it...sexy, for some reason. While she didn't like being dominated, the males doing so appealed to her nonetheless. Showed backbone. Staying unmoving as her wrists were caught, and the...struggling wasn't working the way she expected, the last resort was her electricity, which she can shock him with. Despite that in her mind though, she gazed at his handsome face for a moment (because she did know very well he had a very pretty and good looking face, this couldn't be denied even if you despised him), and he stunned her again by his expression...that had some...some what? Care? Her blue eyes then slowly directed themselves to his luscious lips that were just inches from hers, and she sucked in a breath as a random desire filled her insides...almost craving it. No...no, no, no, no, no... But damn, his lips just needed to move a little further...NO. She was not thinking this. Snapping out of it, her eyes narrowed, like they always did...but since Axel seemed to want to be so close lately everytime...why not see if he actually went through with it? Smirking deviously as she placed a daring expression on, she simply husked in no more than a whisper to his mouth sensually, for only he could hear now: "I dare you."
Zexion had halted his steps at the direction Larxene was as a new thought hit him. The blonde female came from the café, and obviously left in fury, however, the main reason for her anger was still there: Axel. And it was good to understand where both sides were coming from. Putting a finger to his chin as he contemplated this, it was good to get two views of the story, since Axel was here they could have a small chat where he could get the redhead's sentiments, thoughts, etc. Then do the same with Larxene. Perhaps even get more than he bargained for from both. Those two were always fighting, and he didn't think they hated or disliked each other to thet extreme...as much Larxene wanted it to appear so, after all, bantering was a sign of...teasing. As he thought it over, he stepped back and turned the other way, heading to the café quickly to figure this out. Usually, he wouldn't care fo such nonsense, but he was bored and had nothing else to do, might as well check out the problem to entertain himself slightly. As he was reaching it, he listened to the conversation Axel and Demyx were having, which to say the least, caught his interest more this time around. Walking to their table, he merely placed the book on the surface as his entrance, and stared blankly at Demyx, before turning his inquisitive eyes on Axel, saying normally. "Good afternoon to you all. Is a good thing you're bored, Demyx, because if you don't mind, I would like to have your seat for a moment so I could speak about a few matters with our...fire elemental here."
Axel froze, his eyes growing, not expecting to be questioned so fast. He didn't even have a chance to explain a new idea to Xangel, about if there be a need for a fight, she could step in with her sword, while he supplied more fire power, since they both have that element and that way it will be covered up. But he couldn't say that outloud now, so...he had to make ends meet. However, it was going to take away a bit of pride to act nervous around Marluxia. Even Xaldin would've been better. Yet no, he had to get the all mighty pink one. He had to deal with it, though. Swallowing hard and shuddering, though it was more of how he had to act, yet it worked for him as a sign of fright on the outside, he looked meekly from the darkness of his hood at Marluxia. What he really wanted to say was, None of your damn business, ***, go tend to your flowers. However, what came out was a shaken, "I-I'm a new member of this Organization...that's all...uh, Sir?" He stepped away a little for added effect, though he was a bit startled at how good his voice manupulation was. For a second , he could even hear Demyx speaking, but he couldn't sound too much like him, as long as it masked his real voice. But arrgh...how it bothered him to act scared in front of him. This better all be worth it... OOC: For real, writing Axel that way is weird o.O.
Larxene jumped in surprise when she felt someone behind her and heard him yell, obviously startling her. Turning around sharply, the whole thing almost making her hit her head on the refrigerator, she spotted Xaldin here once more, which got her confused, since she thought he wouldn't be here as she got back. Giving him a weird stare, she idly walked pass him, and to the counter, placing the orange juice and the box of Benadryl on the surface, and opening the cabinet for a cup. Sneezing for the billionth time as she shut her mouth so it wouldn't come out, she sniffed hard, trying to somehow breathe through her nose, but it was futile. Groaning as she rubbed her stinging eyes, she murmured to the black haired man, sounding more congested than before, "I thought you wouldn't be here. Then again, I thought redhead here would've moved by now..." After the comment, she unclogged the new box of orange juice, and poured it into the cup until it fully reached the rim, not to mention that the said cup was long, but she needed all the Vitamin C she could get. Closing back the now half empty gallon, she began taking out her Benadryl, the pills stuck in the aluminum panel that they are always at. Breaking off two, she placed the rest back inside, and began to take the two pills chosen out of thier confines. Soon enough, she got one in her mouth and drank her orange juice with it to gulp it down, the second one following not so long after. Licking her lips as she swallowed her drink, she took a few more sips as there was more juice left.
OOC: Of course is not too late. You have them :P. Tifa laughed with him, only because it was contagious and she had never seen Cloud laugh so much, even in childhood. Keeping on tickling him, she didn't really stop at all until he said something about him actually giving in, or if he wanted her to halt her actions, all he had to do is say it. But she was having fun giving...fun, she guessed, to her loved one. Yet, she was glad, as now she had found Cloud's tickle spot and could use it for her advantage in future endeavors. "What do you mean, 'he does'?" Aerith asked softly as her head perked up, somewhat getting what she meant, but wanting to make absolutely certain she heard right and that was what Yuffie meant. Needless to say she was quite startled, and it made her go into thought for a moment, before hearing the man saying her butter roll was ready, while at the same time listening to the the sounds of Cloud and Tifa's laughing. She turned to glance at the two for a moment, then focused on the man. Stepping up to the counter, she simple questioned, "How much is it?"
OOC: Awww, oh, fine. Still...one day a evil OC character, at least just to ruin everyone's lives >D. "I'm fine," Larxene replied to Saïx, though turning angrily to look behind him to see where Axel was from Marluxia pointing him out, and he was sitting lazily on his chair in his assigned check out line. Gritting her teeth as her fury boiled, all of what Marluxia had admitted to her about what the redhead did flowing through her mind, she couldn't let this go without giving him a piece of her mind. However, her rage was interrupted when Xaldin went to speak, and she simply just crossed her arms with a pout. "Don't listen to him, Larxene, apparently, he doesn't know much else other than the time they boxed the genies up, but they got out," Marluxia explained tightly, sending a glare at Xaldin for his unneeded meddling. This was none of his business. Reminded that Saïx was here now, though, he turned back to the blue haired man. "It is true. After the red one escaped, it's been landing its lamp on people's feet so they can use it. It went to Axel, then to me. It wasn't until I wished it free and that it works for WalMart, that his actions permanently stopped. You were there when I explained it, Saïx. Now Xaldin is getting into a private conversation that consists of only me and Larxene, and I have to say the rude intrusion annoys me. Whatever is the problem is between me, her, and Axel."
OOC: Alright then, I'll change all my Xigbars to Marlys xP.
I don't see it in clues, but they actually are very cute together, and I don't think is a cause of confusion. If the circumstances were different, and Roxas wasn't simply in a Data Twilight Town, and they were all really his friends, plus that he didn't have to go back to Sora, Naminé would've had herself a rival xP. I can understand where its fans are coming from this little tidbit, though is obvious that Olette is either for Hayner or Pence, just to fill the whole trio symbolism they have there: Sora (Main), Kairi (Love Interest/Girl), Riku (Best Friend). Roxas (Main), Naminé (Love Interest/Girl), Axel (Best Friend). Terra (Main), Aqua (Love Interest/Girl), Ven (Best Friend) Hayner (Main), Olette (Love Interest?/Girl), Pence (Best Friend?)
Zexion had shut the book closed, finding it not as interesting since the last chapters were now speaking about superficial tricks to impress and such nonsense. However, he did know part of it was because of Larxene, and it wasn't because he was interested in her, but interested in her actions. When something's misplaced, it somehow lures him to know more about the knowledge on why, and subconsciously he knew well that Larxene's glassy eyes couldn't be because of anger only. As he went into thought, he decided to see the direction Larxene had come from to spot the source of her bad mood first, and turned his head around to check, but all he noted was the small café. It will explain where she got the cookie, as well as where her anger came from, since Axel was there...they always bickered, quarreled and bantered, and merely, the redhead got on Larxene's nerves more than everybody else in the Organization. And the odd thing was, it wasn't like that in the beginning, as she seemed to get along well with him, and comfortable enough to touch his chin and all. There was Demyx and a girl, but he was sure Demyx wasn't responsible for anything. He only irritated Larxene enough to hit him, not make her furious. Making a few connections, he got up from the confines of his sofa near the fireplace, and grabbed the book, heading to the library, to return it, and to question Larxene in a way that won't put her all defensive and build up more walls over the ones she already has. He wasn't a psychiatrist, but he was well near the real thing. Tough, a b**ch, in the end, she was still a girl. A complex one, but a girl nonetheless.
I basically think that in Re: CoM, they placed it lighter and more pink, in other words, they changed it. You can see that even in the official art and the GBA sprite, Marluxia's hair has a slight pink tone to it despite it looking brown. The exact color of Marluxia's hair in Re: CoM, in my opinion, is more Puce, a shade of pink. Mauve could work too. Whatevere the case, the tone has been changed from dark, to a more lighter one, but is still basically the same sense of shade from the GBA. And it also depends on the lighting in Re: CoM. Like in the second picture, is hideously close to match the one in the Marluxia sprite because is darker. In the GBA, is definitely more of a brown with a sort of pink, there's no doubt about it. I think we can basically put Marluxia's color a puce/mauve, with a shade of brown or blond somewhere. From the most recent official art and the KH2 Opening sequence: http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa105/Sekiryou_Hyuuchiha/Marluxia.jpg Marluxia's hair is magical, it seems xD. Whichever one though, we can agree that it had pink somewhere. Maybe there's a difference when it is in the GBA screen, than simply a picture of the said sprite.
OOC: *feels loved and glomps back* :3 Lol xD. By the way, I like NightyNight :P. But I'm really serious, one of these days, I'm going to create a character that will cause nothing but havoc, and everyone will hate him/her immensely >D. Larxene didn't know why those words affected her more than she would like to, as she said she had nothing to lose with that idiotic redhead, but the ache was still there, and it bothered her. She was upset, angry, in enrage, and yet, that stupid piece of ache was still there, and she didn't know if it was because she was used and fooled into a wish for her body, or that she got used by him. Of course, it was perhaps because he was the only person she had somewhat given some trust to other than Marluxia, because there's nothing that she felt to say it was anything else. Marluxia was the one she had feelings for, and she knew that. It almost reminded her in that time in the staff lounge when the scythe wielding man was kissing her, it was like there was something wrong, but she couldn't tell what could it be. But she didn't care, and she didnt need to. She had Marluxia, and if Axel didn't give a damn, than it was just fine with her...he was just a extra piece of mass that didn't have any meaning too.... That was all.... But that ache was still there. Is probably because of that wish Axel made on her...that must be it, the wish he took to use her had some lingering affects. Marluxia merely sat calmly, Larxene still in the same position, unusually very quiet, as he would've expected for her to scream or act in fury, but that didn't bother him. Right now, everything was going smoothly, he had two paycheck raises, he got a good job pin, that while not doing much of anything, still meant he was a good worker that will lead him close to promotion, he had a sexy girl that knew her pleasurable actions very, very well, and what else? Oh yes, he got rid of Axel. Of course, not from getting fired, but he was working on that. He could never fully relax while he was still here. Spotting a mass of bright red from the coner of his eyes...he smirked. Speak of the devil, there he was, just a few stations away from him. Seems he came back. Wanting a amusing show, he pointed out to Larxene, sounding annoyed, "Well, look who made it...your redheaded companion." He knew he was manipulating her, and he almost felt a twinge of regret for it as this was the young woman he had feelings for, but if it will help to make sure Axel was out of the way, then it was best for the both of them.
Larxene didn't even bother to wait as her anger boiled, and in rapid speed that would be unseen by the nakedeye, was in less than a second...if even barely less than a second, already in front of Axel, and the moment they made contact, she simply jumped on him...in the way of a fangirl flying sky high with arms and legs free to glomp her bishie would. The tackle was with such force it sent them both flying to the ground, Larxene on top, while Axel had to endure being on the bottom as they hit the carpeted floor of the plane, which to Axel's luck, saved him from any more pain needed. They had slid feets away from where Vexen was standing, and without wasting any time, she grabbed the top of his head with her hand to push it back, her palms and fingers sizzling with electricity as it sent a slight, small shock, before placing the four kunai against his neck hazardously, the pointy ends touching the skin so close that with one wrong move, it could cut him. All the while, she was straddling him securely, even making herself comfortable by truly sitting on him, her upper body leaning more forward to his, and while the position was indeed very...suggestive, the whole "I'm going to kill you" scrapped it from being anything kinky. Glaring him down fiercly, with her jaw tense, her cheeks a puffy pink, and her eyes narrowed into slits to the point that it was a wonder Axel was still breathing, the question she asked didn't match her scary expression in any way possible, which she knew, but she growled low either way, "Why did you do that? I merely touched you simply, and you went to pretend to almost kiss me. You're lucky I didn't fry you right then and there, nobody makes a fool out of me like that." Though as much as Larxene hated to admit it, while she might hurt and stab him, cut out some particles...no matter how furious, she knew that she will never go through with killing him. For some reason, she just couldn't. She tried before...and if she could from the very beginning, he wouldn't even be here now. Though that didn't mean it will stop her from torturing him if need be.
Axel just didn't say anything as they both started to make their way back to the hold, going down the side deck again, not wanting to speak anymore, and there wasn't anything to say to that. Yes, he was tired, but way more than physically, and he simply wanted to just go back to Shigiku and see how she was doing. With the thoughts of the little girl in his head, they kept going to the path, and went into the gap and down the stairs to the hold. It was the same as always, but what got him a bit impatient was having to pass by all the doors. It didn't take that long to get into the room, thankfully, and he was quickly heading to the freezer to pick the next body up. Getting in the cold place, he unfolded the stretcher again, opening up the mechanism, before putting it on the floor beside the remaning dead body. Dead...
OOC: Wow, this can actually make all who are waiting for chula to do something instead of being stuck until she comes back o.O. I think that's one thing we have to think about...stop depending on one character to do something or else...well...is obvious. Axel shrugged, stepping out of the shadows and from behind the statue, now wide open and ready to go into the midst of all this. Making sure his hood was on securely, he tightened it with his drawstrings, as two people were able to use wind in there, so he had to be careful. He motioned with his hand for Xangel to come out, still in his new voice, but instead of making it deep and like a 30 year old, he made himself sound like Demyx...for good reason that didn't need to be explained. "I should be ready when you are. After all, you're who's returning from so long. Anyway, let's go then..." He began to walk.
Tifa pouted disappointedly when he wasn't laughing at all, and wondered what else can you touch where people are ticklish. She already did close to the arms, the stomach, there's no way the legs...so what was left? She thought back on when Axel had given her a tickle attack himself, where he got her good from the neck to the ears, to her stomach....that was it. The neck. People always tickle in the neck sometimes, that was a spot. Or ears. She'll try both. Tifa felt like smacking her head, how she could miss something as eay as that? Smiling at him slyly, though with a devious glint in her eyes, she stepped a bit more forward, and dragged her hand quickly close to his ear. He twitched, but nothing more, so she mercilessly went for his neck and began. Aerith shook her head sadly at Yuffie, trying to make it clearer to the girl, though "giving up" was close to it. "I'm not giving up, is just that I'm seeing that the chances are slim. Unless there's a day where I can see for myself that Cloud might have feelings for me, I can be sure enough to tell him...but for now...I don't want rejection." She sighed there, her hands clasping together tightly as she still stared at the ground. It was hard talking about it. "I will tell him, one time...even if he is with somebody else or something of the sort, just to get it off my chest, I'll let him know. For now I'll...wait for the right time."
OOC: Hey, then we might actually get some real examples at how it looks like and what's there and stuff. Axel just lazily strode after Rexwand, calm, and almost bored, and he just really wanted all of this to be over, so he can rest from this long and wretched tragic day. Getting out of the Conservatory room, and into the warm again with the stretched folded up by his shoulder, he walked out of the door of the infirmary, saying blankly to the doctor, "Come on, the faster we do this, the faster is over. And we can just bring the stretcher into the Conservatory right off without any pause, lift her to the bed, and that's it. You'll be free." That should be enough motivation.
