By this point, after quite some time, the pain in the back of her head from the impact and bruise started to calm, of course, didn't stop the headache, but the suffering kind of soften. Her eyes were becoming a bit clearer now too, and she couldn't help as she smiled to herself a little, her skull still in agony, yet soothingly better...she'll take any type of pain going away now. Sniffing her runny nose, and rubbing her eyes again weakly, she heard someone enter the kitchen once more, and saw that it was Xaldin again...who seemed to be coming back and forth into the place. Any company was better than Axel, it seemed, because he then offered her a cookie after asking what was wrong with her, but holding her head in her hand and watching the delicacies fall down from the torn box, she pushed it away gently...energy less enough not to smack it out of his hand. Goodness, she even had to admit she somehow wanted Zexion here...yes, it has come that far, at least he was willing to be more helpful, despite her not wanting said help. Holding back another sneeze, she simply remarked bitterly in a muffled and deep congested voice as always, "What I want is a cup of orange juice..." Thinking that she was fine a little, with her cold, fever, and all, she picked up the plate that she ate her soup in, and took it a bit woozy to the sink, throwing it there as she leaned on it. Being sick sucked...it felt like your body was skinny and weak, and could break any moment...and you just wanted to stay in bed. Or maybe it was her...
OOC: Don't you mean Counter 8? xP Larxene was taken out of her few naughty thoughts due from boredom by the voice of the said male that was in those thoughts. She blinked a little in surprise that he was actually using the speaker, but thinking that the calls calmed down, and she had almost written half the internet orders so far, she got up to find out what is it that he needed now. He wanted her to go his check out station it seemed, though she couldn't think why, as they left their conversation as that. Larxene didn't hesitate on walking hurriedly as she got out of her customer service desk, and headed straight down the path that led to the front entrance, where all the chek out lines were, it was a given. Meanwhile, she occupied herself with pondering over what Axel wanted to call her for, because if it was for some pointless help or anything along those lines, she'll get really in a bad mood, no questions asked. Reaching the stations, she followed the familiar way to Axel's, and easily swerved her way to his booth quickly, getting in as she looked at him with her arms folded, a questioning expression on her face. Tilting her head to the side, she inquired, "What is it?"
Xemnas was a bit surprised that Saïx had gone that far, and yet, didn't drop to KMart's level of destroying. Packed with the fact of all that he did, the store, for some unknown reason he still couldn't figure, was restored. Either way, he needed to find out the truth to see if Saïx exaggerated, because he didn't see why his hardworking assistant manager would lie, or someone...something, fixed it up. Gazing at the man before him with a pleased expression, he began, "I have to say Saïx, you outdid yourself. In fact, it makes up for what you did to the store. Thus, I will allow you to command and order the MPC. Though, I do have to ask you a question..." With this said, he gestured to him to look at what supposely was destroyed, finding nothing wrong or out of place, except he had noted there was a difference in the jewelry. "I've checked all the sections that you said were crumbled, but they are the same, nothing's a mess with them. Either someone fixed it, or you lied, or exaggerated the truth. I just want to make sure, before I think any further on this." Larxene was back behind the desk soon enough, and as she sat and got to working on internet orders again, as well as picking up a few phone calls, she couldn't help but think of Axel, and how she wanted to go back there, and simply do what she really wanted, because she was sure he wouldn't complain or resist. He needed a piece, just as much as her. It was mutual, as far as she saw it. And it was about time something in her job got interesting...in fact, messing around sounded fun, especially as there were cameras everywhere and they had to be careful. Hopefully, Xemnas wouldn't go over them today as he was quite busy, after all, she didn't exactly needed him to know the "thanks" she had given, then he'll really get on her case with her own outfit, which in her opinion, was more comfortable to her than the black cloak with the WalMart vest on that they had to wear. It couldn't kill to place her own style. And so, as she twirled her pen in between her fingers, she thought of kissing Axel's luscious and tempting lips, and running her fingers through his firey red color hair, which she knew was soft and smooth, but this time, she wanted to enjoy the texture. Larxene wasn't sure how experienced he was, but he didn't need to as she had it all covered with her skills alone. Dominatrix to a fault, she was. Marluxia had manages to get through the back door, and outside on the alley, with his own privacy and thoughts about what or not to do with the lamp. This was actually his chance to get Larxene...not to love him precisely, they were Nobodies after all, but at least stray her away from thoughts of Axel, and instead, take a liking to him instead...a very strong liking to him. Hmm...
OOC: Since Cloud Jr. was Tifa's nickname, and they are both full, that means that Tifa still lost her virginity, and she could still have a baby :O. Don't worry though, by now, is scrapped :P (they don't even remember, imagine if a belly started to grow out of nowhere). The only thing is probably her day of the month is late...o.O Chula, you're art is silver gleaming! =D Those are a few cool sketches, though I'm guessing that Axel's hair is hard to draw, isn't it? xD "Cause you know you're going to lose? Fine then," Axel quipped to her with a smug smile, only to take it off as he swung one arm over her shoulders tiredly, but playfully, letting out a quick breath. "I kid, I kid, tie for now, agreed." With this in mind, he inspected the beach around them, noticing that by the sand, they were mostly in the middle between the sea and the wooden boardwalk that separated the parking lot, and the volleyball net was just a few paces off to their right. The space was fairly big, but he thought they could stay at this spot without the waves coming at them, they were in the perfect place, in his opinion. The sun wasn't as strong due to the time, but it wasn't like he was here for a tan, so for a moment, he enjoyed the smell of the ocean, and the warm and soft breeze, as well as the cries of the seagulls, something he enjoyed when coming here. He also couldn't wait to see the sunset...there was no doubt, one of his favorite places to go was the beach. Taking his arm back calmly, he clapped his hands together as in finality, looking over at Rei expectantly, with a big smirk on his face. "The water's acalling. Now give me a strip show." Tifa did a triple take at what Cloud said, a bit shocked, but then he went to correct himself, and relaxed a little. Not that sleeping with him is anything sort of bad, but it was still a bit out there. On Yuffie's comment, she covered her mouth as she giggled, her eyes twinkling amusingly at Cloud and his red face, "I wonder what type of name his friend will have? Don't worry, in the near future you might actually get someone...if it's still in action then." Aerith was still into her thoughts, but for some reason, Cloud's words rang through her ears, and she snapped out of it, her eyes widening as she smiled despite herself. What in the world? It was then she heard Yuffie and Tifa teasing him about it, and just to give him a break, she held back a chuckle, trying not to make fun of him too. But it was a bit tempting... In the end though, she had to let it out, and gave a light melodic laugh.
Axel chuckled as he evaded the attacks like a breeze, though he knew she was just starting. He had never fought fire with fire before, so this one should be interesting, what can hurt or not hurt him. Yet, he almost frowned when the slashes came close to the necklace in his neck as he moved, and he had to watch that. It was the only object he had left of her, after all. Smirking at Xengla cruelly as he finished dodging, he simply responded, "Is weird how you can be so proud, then I guess you like being low, because Angel was a much better person, I can see. Compromise isn't in, is not like I was the one that heated the room before." While battling, or praticing, he could play with her mind a little, and why not start by Angel? Though he appreciated Xengla was much steely, which he had wanted Angel to somewhat be, he rather have his friend back any day. "And I find it amusing how much you try to be a tough chic, when you really aren't, are you? Tell me, what are you trying to prove?" With that, he went forward in a surge of speed, not comparable to Larxene's of course, but good enough, and went to land a high kick to her stomach. He wasn't going to waste much energy with his element or weapons yet, especially the fact that he still had his vinyl gloves that he touched dead bodies with.
OOC: Nobody used your character. Basically, nothing much. Jafar Genie fixed the store (without anyone knowing), and now Marluxia has his lamp. Most of the stuff is happening in Kmart, where Saïx wrought a few terrors. That's all really. And I'm just going to put that Jafar G talked inside the lamp, but Marluxia and Larxene didn't hear him. Marluxia thought he heard it talk as he stared back down at it, not sure what exactly it said, but knowing it had something to do with him. Sighing, he stopped his walk, and looked around the store. "It spoke, didn't it?" Larxene inquired, hearing something, but not sure as she was farther away from him. Thinking he still wasn't answering to her previous question, she went to ask again, but this time, she just simply bit out. "Are you going to tell me why or not?" "It's not something I want to talk about right now, Larxene. Besides that, I have to report this to Xemnas, so I'm going to go and find him. He's going to want to have this," Marluxia explained, before simply gazing at her sternly, but wanting so much to touch that porcelain face and just make her his, and just show her what a real man was about, as Axel was still a kid in brain capacity. He didn't think much of him. "I suggest you don't worry about the lamp, you know I'm more sharper than that, you can even check with Xemnas later. And speaking of him, you've really denied your job, imagine how many people have called." She rolled her eyes. "I'm not one to care as much for people's stupidity, Marluxia, so if you use the lamp or not, is up to you and your doing. Can't say is to be trusted, that's all." Sighing dramatically, she gave him a sugar sweet smile, before turning around, knowing that what Marluxia said was true; she had been ignoring her job, and as said, she couldn't give a damn what Marluxia did, it wasn't even that bad. Larxene didn't want to think of how many might've called, and hopefully, they wouldn't call to complain on services. However, as she began to walk away, she still warned snidely to the puce color haired male, "I'm still going to talk to you, go it? You're going to answer that question." Marluxia just let out a breath as he watched her walk away, staring at her back, before simply beginning to walk the other way with a triumphant smirk on his face. Well, he didn't know what exactly could be wrong to have a few wishes, he might use it for his union plan, but there were more things that can be done with it. All this genie has to do, is deliver, and that was it, he was done after three, and he could give it away. He didn't think it was that horrible, after all, that was a genie's job, and their tied by magic for that oath. He just had to be in a secluded area were there weren't any cameras...
"I never denied that I wasn't one, Xengla, I jsut had to simply remind you," Axel hissed menacingly, his eyes getting into slits, that in the dim darkness could be seen more dangerously, and then there was the brightness of his green eyes. He smirked at her, fire still surrounding him. "See. You're proving my point right now that you're not her, the fact that you want to fight me, for example, when Angel would've talked through it. Don't you love your contradiction? By the way, I'm waiting." OOC: I wonder if Xengla noticed he was wearing Angel's necklace to say he didn't care for her...
OOC: I don't want to make Saïx reach Axel's room so fast, since Larxene is there...and Nymph has become barely on...if at all. Unless Kasha leaves after seeing the room... Tifa blinked for a moment, and now that she thought about it, her stomach did feel kind of bloated, and filled with food as well. She didn't exactly remember eating, but there she was, not hungry either...that was strange. Creasing her eyebrows, she said, "I am too, so I guess that's out, depends on Yuffie and Aerith though, if they're hungry..." Thinking of something else though, she stared atCloud questionably, "Since you're going to stay...is going to be in the apartment I have, right? Like we talked...is close to here, and you'll have your own privacy..." Straightening up while listening to Rei, agreeing with her in his mind, he stretched out his arms, before turning to look at her. That was strange...he kept wondering what it was? He didn't want to go on and think about alien movies to explain what sort of phenomenon, but it was brain racking. What was it? "Maybe it was something in the air of the beach? Or maybe it was....I don't know...alien abduction?" He shook his head and laughed at the last one, yet he truly had no idea what could be the cause of him almost fainting, until something hit him as realization. "Or you know, what could be really possible, is this town is full of people with power...so maybe one was using it and it caused this effect, that's why it came and left quickly, perhaps practicing...it could happen."
Axel took his eyes away from Xengla for a moment to wave goodbye to Shigiku cheerfully, having his own smile, "Bye Shi! Rex, take care of her, or you'll burn alive!" He watched them begin to walk off, then his smile slowly turned upside down into a frown, staring at the girl next to him with a unimpressed expression. He wasn't expecting this, after all he still had those vinyl gloves on him. Well, if she wanted a fight, then so be it...she was simply going to be a warm up to stretch his muscles. Axel chuckled, shaking his head, "It seems you lack more brains than I thought, of course I cared for Angel, I don't waste time with people that don't matter to me. The thing is, you're not her, whether you act like her, speak like her, or do anything like her. You are nothing more than her shadow, a part of her remains turned into human form, and never meant to exist. You're a Nobody. Got it memorized?" He smirked darkly as lines of flames began to circle around in from the ground upward ominously, "However...I could use a practice session."
OOC: He's right, Larxene didn't leave....
OOC: A Floater is the correct term for people who don't choose to be in a particular clique or group of friends, and talks to everyone equally xP. Tifa made her way to sit down on the grass herself, not worrying because she had her jean shorts on, and it didn't get so much as grass stains like a dress would, so she understood Aerith. Looking back up at Cloud as she got comfortable after glancing at the long brown haired girl, who looked to be in thought, she went to say with a smile, "You're right, he would. Is so cute, the way he loves her so much....I miss them." Her tone went a bit melancholy at the thought, but then cheered up. "Anyway, you're going to sit or stand? I was thinking maybe later we can grab a bite to eat...there's a diner close to here that you can reach by walking. And is cheap." Axel let out a chuckling scoff at her confidence, thinking she could even match him, maybe he coudl speed it up and get the race won and over with, and it was going to get harder as it was tiring to shift through sand. However, before he could say anything to that matter, he felt his mind swim dizzily, and slowing down as his eyes almost shut when they blurred, he placed his hands on his knees as he stopped and crouched, closely coming to faint. There was simply some type of black out under all the mess, and he tried to blink, fidning it going away very quickly, and for some reason, feeling much better after a second. Letting out a breath, a bit dazed, he shook his head as he got back to normal....appearing as if it never happened...what... What the freaking as hell twilight zone crap was that? Saïx simply listened to her as they already passed the tunnel in silence, alreayd going up the one flight of stair to Axel's room. Getting into the hall as he pulled opened the metal black door, he held it out for Kasha to get in politely, dog or not, and went in behind. "Make sure you remember the way. It will be good for your dorm to be around close as well..."
Axel just simply glared back at Xengla, scoffing inwardly at her as she raised the temperature. It lowered though when Shigiku scooted closer to him in the end, but he still didn't turn his eyes away from the older girl as he finished speaking to Rexwand. Looking back at the man now, sending the doctor with Shigiku will be better, he would think, as he trusted him more than he did her. In the end, he could wait until he came back, and the both of them will work on the bodies. "That's the best idea. So would you guide Shigiku to the room, Rexwand? Or help her look for Naminé?" With that said though, he focused his attention back at Xengla as he narrowed his eyes at her, countering, " I never even said anything about you in the first place , except thinking whether or not for you take Shigiku, and then you come and open your big mouth. Who said I had a prejudice? And even if I did, I don't care if you have a problem with it, is not like it matters to me. Maybe I just plain don't like you." OOC: Uh-oh, back up people....D:
Marluxia just raised his own eyebrow, obviously still not in the best of mood after what he had seen and heard, and he vaguely wondered what she saw in a guy such as Axel...he didn't think she'll go down to that level of taste, so low. Either way, he wasn't really going to talk to her about what was truly bothering him, so he used that lamp as a distraction. He didn't know how it got here, unless it chose the place itself, but he picked up by the handle, making sure not to rub it, unless this one was fake. "I don't know, I have no reason to have a lamp....perhpas it made its way here, because I didn't see it before." With this, he got up without any other word to her, getting out of his station and heading to go down a aisle. As useful and as much as this could be to help in his advantage, if there was a genie...though he wasn't doubting that there was, he still didn't want to fall for it too quickly. Though...he looked over to Larxene, who had followed behind, and simply glanced at Axel for a second, before looking down at the lamp. Three wishes. Tempting, indeed... "Marluxia," Larxene growled in a irritated manner, stepping up beside him, and giving him a glare. She wasn't stupid not to know what he exactly he was doing, in the ignorance and lamp predicament. She just wanted to know what was his problem, as for the most part, they had formed some type of mutual respect and...some small friendship in the mix. "I know you ignored the question, and I ask it again. What are you in such an angry, bitter mood?...and you better hope not to do anything foolish. I'm sure you've heard of many genie stories where the posessor....forget it....is one even in there?" She went to study down at the lamp sharply. If it appeared by Marluxia, of course one would be in there, but how...?
"I still don't want you to go alone, with Jack out there, and Heartless, who knows what might happen to you along the way," Axel explained as Shigiku turned to look at him, a bit sad, but also having some type of frightened look in her hazel eyes. Sighing, he didn't want for Xengla to take care of it, as he didn't know her and didn't trust her, but Shigiku had to go, she couldn't see them taking out the bodies, she's seen enough. Blowing out air, he closed his eyes, tilting his head back and forth, thinking. What to do? What to do?.... However, he got distracted when Rexwand yelling and who acted irrationally before when finding the bodies. Damn...this decision had to be made soon...
OOC: You're a Undecided xP, and you're in. Is not too late, as long as you know the story, and what's going on. As for the college name...Sunrise Height University ? xD Aerith just grew her eyes wide at what Cloud told them, watching Tifa blushed like a tomato, this time, obviously not being able to hide it. Well, wow...she was quite surprised of what Barret had told Cloud before coming here, and though she knew that nobody knew she would be in Twilight Town, she couldn't help but be suspicious at the fact that Barret had spoken to sex about Cloud...why mention Tifa in that sense? While Aerith was with her thoughts, since Tifa was closed to Barret, she was obviously a bit more abashed and flustered than she should've, and more so since Barret just gave him the permission for Cloud to whisk her away, but to use protection. And Barret and tea parties? She didn't know whether to laugh or just stare blankly...but she chose to laugh. Covering her mouth as she shook her head, she eyed Cloud, "Are you serious? I didn't know Barret would tell you that...this is funny. Are you sure about the tea party?"
OOC: I still need to get how did the genies get away from the shield boxes Xemnas placed them in -_-, but for the sake that he fixed WalMart xP... After speaking to Xaldin, Xemnas went to explore the store himself, wanting to see just how bad were the damages that had to be fixed, after all, it wasn't like the magical crew were free. However, as he kept exploring the part that Saïx had told him....he didn't find anything. This went for all sections as he travelled. Fixed, nothing, nothing, fixed. He stopped then, a bit confused, wondering if his assistant manager had tricked him. Blinking he could've grabbed his walkie talkie and speak with him, but he was in enemy's territory right now, and didn't want to give him away. Instead though, he went to call the magical crew and cancel as fast he could before his munny would be wasted. "Sure, sure..." Larxene sneered as she made to leave, letting the small joke go, and then reluctantly stepping out of the booth and going back to see what was up with Marluxia. To be honest, she didn't want to go just yet, but her mind told her she overstayed her welcome, and it was better to leave. However, she had left with a new dawning...a dawning to reality that was perhaps there but she had ignored it: she was deeply attracted to Axel. He had some type of charm, that was magnetic and sexy...the type that makes you want to touch him and makes you look twice. With a twisted, delightful smile on her face, she thought that would explain many things, and why she did her "thanks"....and in those times she was there, she wanted to just sit in his lap, straddling him, running her hands up his broad chest, make him her new toy, and- "You're passing me," a cold voice interrupted. Larxene stopped in her tracks, blinking, now noticing that she had passed a few paces after Marluxia's station. Frowning to herself at her sense of distraction, she went back the few steps she took too far calmly as she cursed herself in her mind. Walking the path and going to his booth, she went in, his eyes staring at her hard. Placing one hand on her hip as she raised a eyebrow, she simply went to ask, "Can I get a reason why you're looking at me that way?" As she stared him down, at the corner of her eyes she noticed something by his feet, and did a double take as she saw the...lamp. Questionably, she added as well, "What are you doing with that?" OOC: You have no idea how Marluxia can use this to his advantage...
It is the Moon/Lunar, is on official files -_- (which I would get if I had the scans, but common sense can prevail...). Berserker stage and other abilities are just what comes with it. I mean, is not really a element, but then again, "Space" and "Illusion" aren't either, are they? As for the question, is hard to say, but the safest bet is that they are born with it, because I'm sure Xehanort didn't have the power of Nothing in his hands before. Then there's Roxas, who wields the Keyblade like his original self, but then again, he's a special case. For now, I'll just say they are born with it. What is hard to explain though, is the way the characters look like to represent their element xD. Axel's fire, and his design is self-explainable, Larxene has blonde hair and blue eyes, as well as "antennae" for bangs(?), Saïx himself has gold eyes, a "X" scar on his face, and resembles a wolf somewhat, which is connected to the moon (and his color hair flows nicely with the tone of it, too...). Yeah, yeah, I know, character design, but still, they all fit with what they contribute. Makes me wonder what their "Others" look like...
Axel just nodded, hoping she truthfully got it this time, and eyed her intently for sometimes, trying to study her eyes, and just get what she was thinking. Sighing though, with a one second glance to Rexwand and Xengla, he turned back to Shigiku. "Listen, I know you miss them...and I know you may never get the chance to hug them, and be hugged in return, being loved by them, or having them by your side, but think on the fact that they're always watching you...they're always there...if you have a problem, running isn't the answer. Remember that we understand, and you can talk with us..." Saying this, he stretched his arms upward, so tired and jaded, that when this was over, he was going to take a nice shower, doing this made him feel dirty for some reason, and sleep. He then looked troubled at the girl, not wanting her to see what was here more than she had to. "Now, I don't know what to do...since I don't know where Naminé is to send you back. And I'm worried you'll get lost again..."
Xemnas looked at Xaldin, thinking that it was risky, but they do need some type of payback. Seriously, look at the store. WalMart has never been succumbed to such a mess. "Perhaps, but either way, it has to be done, and this won't be the last time. I'll make sure of that. They'll pay." Larxene simply stopped, a bit edgy that he caught it, but also a bit startled at his words. What he said rang in her head, as no one ever told her that before, especially in her type of past. In fact, Axel was probably the first person to actually make her feel somewhat appreciated for once...she had to admit to that. Turning to look at him blankly, she went to say something, but then switched it at last minute, "Well, genius, I can't read your mind. What was I suppose to think when you said your words, folded your arms, and looked away, like you were angry? And your face appeared ticked, so I simply wanted to set the record straight..." Surprisingly, her tone was soft, without any snarl, growl, or anything negative that will usually go with it, but she didn't care, it wasn't like it was needed. Pausing, and giving a moment's hesitation, she said, a bit awkwardly, "And actually, you are special to me...in some twisted way..." She wasn't good at revealing her inner thoughts, she never did, so this was all new to her, and she didn't even know what made her say this...in fact, she couldn't understand what she was doing lately with him. She looked undecisive for a second, almost stepping up to him, yet in the end, scrapped it. That was giving enough, added to that "thanks", and it wasn't in her persona to do anything more. Sending him a nonchalant wave instead, she bade, "See you later then, I'm going to make pit stop to see why Marluxia looks about to implode, then get to my job, before Xemnas gets on my case..."
"Yes, well, I don't know about that, that's something to be handle in due time whenever Cody appears. Nevertheless, when with Axel, I suggest you try to behave. It'll take a while before he'll get...used to you," Saïx said plainly, turning a corner, almost heading to the tunnel that will lead them to the dorm building. "I wouldn't thought you be, but just in case you ever do wonder," Tifa responded, thinking a little about that herself as they kept walking by some people playing and running around, some hanging by the benches. She never bother to really ask, or maybe she did...Axel just never gave her a answer. Sighing as their feet started to touch grass, she gazed up again at him the both of them...and she meant her and Aerith still holding on to Cloud, though gentle. "So, how are things back home? Nothing going wrong? I'm surprised you went all the way here....with your bike, right?" Aerith remained silent, a small smile on her face, since Tifa was asking all the questions she wanted to ask. Making sure Yuffie was behind them with a slight turn of her eyes, she continued to walk on the grassy plain, until they reached a cherry blossom tree not in bloom, the leaves' shadows covering the ground as the rays of light from the sun peeked through. Letting Cloud go free, she went to sit down slightly on the grass after she placed a white cloth that was tied around her waist on it, after all, she didn't want to get her dress stained. "We're here..."
