OOC: Sorry for lasting so long, I was switching to the laptop :3. Yay. Xemnas just simply smirked at his assistant manager, hanging up the cell phone as he had finished ordering the posters and what they were suppose to say, as well as make them be delivered at a specific time. For the matter at hand, he simply replied to Saïx, "It was their Genie that caused it. Someone must've sent him here. And of course, we have to return back the favor, now don't we?" There didn't even need to be a hint at what the answer was. Larxene scoffed at his attitude, and made her way to leave, thinking that he couldn't handle high strung or couldn't put up with it. Still, she felt, for some reason, that everything was going well for the while, and then it just hurled into a downward spiral again. And Axel got it all wrong. Debating with herself for awhile, she decided to give in her two cents, going back in and simply leaning against the counter, close to him. Being who she was, it amused her to see him so pissed, it almost reminded her like a cute little boy. Yeah, she went there. Letting out a breath as she stared at him for awhile, she folded her arms, frowning. "Why are you in a pissy mood now? Seriously, I could've done much worse, I just simply flung a little knife at you, and I wasn't aiming to stab you. I could've kicked a certain appendage...which I was planning to, but you apologized, so I simply gave you a warning. Did I yell? Did I curse you out? Did I do anything else, but tell you that I don't like it? In my opinion, you're letting this get to you when it shouldn't, and really, you know how I am...with me, that is what you will call nice. Any other guy, they'd be fried flesh ready for stray dogs and rats to eat. If you can't deal, then fine." Creasing her eyebrows, and glowering at him, she looked at the other direction too, where Marluxia was, and he seemed to be in foul mood as well, glaring at both her and Axel from time to time. Okay, seriously, what is it with the male PMSing? Rubbing her arms slightly, Larxene lifted herself up, saying what she wanted to say and now truly leaving. However, despite herself, she added quietly, hoping he'll somehow miss it, "And while you are a a** sometimes, you're not just another guy..." Or else I wouldn't have giving you that thanks like I did in the first place, idiot....
Saïx sighed, placing his eyes forward. "I'm going to hold a meeting with Axel. After going over it, you will be there, and so it's going to be explained, don't worry about that now. But, if anything happens, like Cody tries to chase you, is his room you will go to, and if you want, stay there for a while. He'll protect you. I won't be here all the time, so it's needed." Aerith sighed, shaking her head at Cloud, haven't gotten a idea either as they went through the door, opened by Tifa, a slight wind blowing in their face softly as they made it outside. "This division's been here ever since we both came here, and for some reason, it just flowed, and I found myself considered a Prep because I was hanging out with them. I didn't know back then...so I took it as it was as a form of being accepted. The case was, there is a war between the two groups. I don't have any idea how it started, but it began a long time, that's as far as I know..." Tifa nodded as well. "It was the same with me. Is alright if you don't like it, but is not that big of deal. The Skaters and Preps mostly ignore each other, and fights only start like normal school fights. However, sometimes, Axel...the Reno look alike that I told you about, brags about him knowing why all this happened, so if you want, you can ask him when you meet him..." She paused for a moment. "I don't know if he really knows, but is worth a conversation to try."
Larxene froze as she felt the light touch that was suppose to be a smack on her butt, and closing her eyes, she tried to calm down the sudden annoyance bubbling in her stomach, a few sparks of electricity flying around her body because of it. She heard him apologize for that, however, she had to resist from giving a swift kick to his precious privates, him sitting down or not, works whichever way. Nevertheless, she simply fired a kunai out of nowhere as she opened back her blue eyes, the weapon flinging pass him, and stabbing the back of the chair he was sitting on, close to his shoulder. Of course...it wasn't meant to hurt him, as she had perfect and flawless aim. She knew what she was doing. Turned halfway around due to the action though, Larxene sent him a glare, her left eye twitching as she snarked, "There are better ways to show appreciation, Axel, than smacking my butt, even 'putting my hands all over you' is better...I would've allowed it since I crossed your personal borders with what I did. Is only fair share. But doing that, is a no, I'm not your girl. You're lucky that I didn't do anything else with my kunai, but take it as a warning. Never do that again. Or else you won't have a arm to touch anything with." With that, she crossed her arms...what she did to Axel by kissing him on the cheek and nibbling his ear lobe just now registering in her head. She fought the burn in her cheeks. "And...don't take what I did personal, it was just a thanks, is all..." Since Saïx went to do his job, he went to do this, and he got out his cell phone, flipping it open, and dialing the familiar number. This was usually Larxene's job to do, but he figured it will be easier if he explained...besides, he didn't know where that girl was, as she wasn't in the customer service desk. Hearing a voice on ther other line, he asked for service, and soon...he was speaking to one of the magical reinforcements. "Yes...this is the WalMart of Deep Dive county, yes....we have a slight problem here, and we need some of your workers to come down here as soon as possible. " Noddin ghere and there, he wnet to explain what needed to be fixed and what sections, before the man said they'll be there around five minutes. Saying the goodbyes, he cliked the "END" button, now the first part done. Perfect. They might get to open again in due time, in twenty minutes or so. Now... what else to do? Oh yes, the posters to announce everyone for the show tonight and give out to people. Once more, a number was dialed in the phone... OOC: I have to agree. That's waaaay too much. You're basically ruining the whole building...
OOC: Whoa, short posts o.O. Saïx just looked down at her as they walked down the hall. "Because you're a student, and therefore, you can use a room in the dorm building in which we are going to stay while you go to school. In the weekends, you're free to go home, as well as after school, go outside. So if you don't have one, you'll get one soon, if you wish it." Tifa gave a nod as they went down a hall to the courtyard, or rather, the 'garden'. She couldn't believe that Cloud was still going to stay, she had the whole time for a chance to tell him her feelings, but the problem was, that she didn't know how to approach it, especially with Aerith here. What would happen to her? She didn't want to hurt her friend...she loved Cloud just as much as she did, if not more possibly...she didn't know how far or low Aerith's went. Sighing tiredly, she looked at her, only for then to remember, "Aerith, that's right. I'm a Skater and you're a Prep. I forgot. What are we going to do?" Aerith was thinking a lot of things, Cloud staying, chances given, her feelings, Tifa's feelings, one hurt...she just didn't know what exactly to do or achieve. She knew Cloud could only have one, but which? And will she be able to admit it to him? What if he rejects her? Her thoughts, however, were broken as Tifa's voice rang in, hearing the worried tone. Turning to her with a calm smile, already knowing the situation they were in, she shook her head, "It doesn't matter. I'll just say that Cloud is a visitor we both know, and I was spending time with him, not you...no offense, of course. I'll probably make up a story too...is easy to evade." Tifa released a breath, knowing she was right. Good. Both groups were hard on "traitors"...and she didn't want to offend anybody else that she made friends with. She was positive Axel will stand by her, though, so will Rei, Roxas...
"You mean one genie..." Xemnas corrected grimly, as he looked at the empty box, though he didn't understand how the blue one got out of the shield box he placed him in. Making it stronger, so no magic was also allowed to the remaining one, he turned back to Saïx, giving a sigh. "Place the box in the back, and leave it there until we get this store fixed and running. I'll call the magic crew of WalMart to come and patch things up here with their magical tools, as we need to fix things quickly for tonight. What exact sections are destroyed so I can tell them? The whole store?" He also had to lock the sliding glass doors, though he needed to wait and see if that customer is gone to do so. "Also, we'll speak of the projects later."
Axel sighed deeply and closed his eyes in a groan, hearing that she saw the bodies when that was the last thing he needed,or wanted. He was even surprised the girl didn't need therapy right at this moment. Next time, he'll make sure to leave her to one of the Organization members, as they had powers, and will track her much more easily than Naminé could, not that she was a bad baysitter, but if any run away, he knew the blonde won't be able to catch up or stop them. However, those thoughts vanished as he listened to Shigiku's other words, and he was going to place his hand on her cheek for comfort, but then remembered again about his gloves...and he didn't want to take them off because he knew the bodies have yet to be moved. Sighing, Axel shook his head at Shigiku. "You won't forget them, Shi, you can never forget them...except when one has memory problems, but even so....they will always, always, live in your heart, and the love for them that you had will forever remain there. They're never lost. Is stupid to think that way, Shi, I have to say honestly....I can never replace your father, as neither can Naminé, or any other, can replace your mother. That's not what we are trying to do...you need someone to take care of you, and while I can't be your true father, I'll still be your father figure, and Naminé will be a mother figure...and our job is to guide you in life, love you, and not make you face anything alone. If you need help, we're here, if you want a hug, I'm here, if you want advice, we're all here...Pumpkin. It never means that we're replacing your parents....just taking care of you for them...okay? Got it memorized?"
OOC: Yeah, but can make our own customers. Remember, that the OCs are just the daily ones that usually comes, not the only ones. Though you're right about WalMart, especially as the doors are about to lock to fix the mess... Watching Xaldin go, he focused his attention on Vexen, who looked like he was just wounded. Sighing with a shake of his head, Xemnas went to say, "Yes, you can go back to your position, Vexen. And don't take this too hard, is fine, but make sure next time you control temptation, or else it controls you. Who knows what would have happened." He wanted to say a few more encouraging words, after all, his workers couldn't be upset, but then he turned to Saïx, who had obediently walked up to him. Before he could say anything, he handed his assistant the paper that he picked from his desk. "I want to get a full explanation for each project....as well as you guiding me to all the places that the store was destroyed, in which I hold you responsible. However, first, we got to take care of one thing, then the other." He looked at Genie in the trapped box, "We have to take this Genie back to K,art. As for the red one, he will stay, as he doesn't belong in any of the shops, and study what he wants. Then, after we finish with this customer we have, we need to lock up because of the fact that WalMart is a complete and utter mess, and it needs to be fixed. Imagine what people will say if they saw it this way..." Larxene blinked at his words, a bit mystified at his actions, but also a bit surprised at the sudden uenxpected show of....kindness, she guessed. Either way, she got off from the counter, planting her heeled feet on the ground as she made sure her skort was at proper place. She sent him a sly smile, as her eyes shined mischieviously. "I would've thought that you were sucking up to Xemnas in the way of Saïx. Still..." She went over the few steps to him, as she cornered him again with herself again, only to lean down and gived him a deep, soft kiss on his cheek....before beginning to trail butterfly kisses sensually up to his ear, were she nipped at the lobe witha slight suck, whispering in a husky voice. "Thanks." After that, she placed her hand on his other cheek as she stroked it softly as with a breeze, she easily straightened up, taking her arms with her as if she didn't do what she just did. Giving him a smirk, she made her way to get out of his booth.
Axel's eyes grew at her face when she said she knows, and wondered for a moment, before going to stand from his bent down position as well. However, he eyed Shigiku gently, not wanting her to go just yet, as he wanted to make sure, trying to find how to word it. "Shigiku....how long have you been here? What do you mean, you know? And...you still didn't answer why you wanted to be alone in the first place. Remember how I promised I wouldn't lie to you? Well, I need you to do the same for me...and trust me enough to share what's wrong. Or else I'll get worried..." He sighed. "I won't get mad or anything, I just want to understand...what is it that's bothering you?"
OOC: In! xP And what to do with Xemnas exactly? Xemnas just stared at the problem, looking back and forth between one Genie and the next one from a few steps away, and with raising his arms, he summoned two boxes of shields out of nothing, trapping the two magical beings in each one, as well as making them sound proof so they would both SHUT UP as he tried to figure out this situation. He was getting a headache at the moment, and there was too damn much going on at the same time that it was getting to him. Glaring at boht Vexen and Xaldin sharply and darkly, almost as if he was about to kill them, he gestured for Xaldin to step up to him and get away from Saïx, "Both of you will not be making wishes with any of these genies, do you understand me? Am I clear? Do I need to speak Al-Bhed? The blue Genie is free, he can grant you wishes, but he doesn't have to, and why...why Vexen, if you are supposely a genius, why trust a genie that belongs to KMart? And you Xaldin...I thought you had more common sense. About to make wishes to a genie you just met, when it's the color red and looks too suspicious? This will end. None of you under my order would use these genies for anything, or else, face the consequences. We don't know them, and we don't know what's on their minds as they say what they say." As that was done, he looked toward Saïx roughly, motioning at him to come over as he grasped the paper in his hand. "Come here, Saïx, you need to explain a few things too."
Axel shook his head, as if to say not to worry about that, but he didn't get what had happened. Tenshi ran away? She wanted to be alone? As his green eyes looked down on hers, smiling weakly, he went to ask, "Why...why did Tenshi ran away? I don't understand. And why did you want to be alone for? There are better ways to get some privacy without running away...and now you probably have Namine worried sick. You have to apologize to her, not to me...though it's okay. At least you're okay." He hesitated after his soft spoken words, before also adding, his eyes downcast at what he knew was in the freezer, "And you shouldn't be here right now..."
Axel let out a big, exciting breath as he tried to even his ragged lungs as they took air, a strong wind blowing his fire red, spiky hair and making his cloak billow all over as he stood on the roof of the skyscraper, hands on knees, and eyes wide. He barely remembered how they just started the race...Roxas was pulling on his cloak's drawstrings as he covered Chelsie within his hood, closing her inside for her safety...the only thing showing being the red puff ball that was always on top of Moogles' heads. Then he looked back on him telling Wiggles to hold on to his hair as if his little life depended on it, and as they both took a stance to prepare, Roxas counted, and reaching three, they took off. At first, he was winning, but when they got to the skycraper's steps he slowed down just bit, but soon jumped skillfully and smoothly on the banister, then to the the pole....like Roxas explained to him, and before he knew it, he was going up a freaking building... That had to be one of his best experiences, especially as he hadn't done it before, and it was even better as he could manage to defy gravity and look around at the height and the soft breeze in his face as he ran up and up. Roxas had won, just bya few seconds as they both jumped to the top almost at the same time, but he didn't care. Now that he had done it, he could use this to his advantange, as he was more aware of what he was capable of, and even though he used walls and jumped on ceiling sometimes, now he had more ideas that could pop up as he was having a battle. Looking at his buddy now, who had a big smirk on his face and was freeing Chelsie out of the cave he placed her in, Axel chuckled, "Nice one there. Man, that has got to be the best thing I've done so far!" Roxas let out a chuckle as well as he carried the sleeping Chelsie in his arms now, after freein gher from his hood, looking a bit winded himself from the experience, but otherwise, fine. His face was bright though, as the wind also messed up his hair and trench coat, knowing the whole thing was worth it. "The best thing you've done? Axel, you could've done it anytime, is that you never tried it." Walking up to his firey best friend, he stared down at the slumbering Moogle. "This thing sleeps like a rock, I swear..." Axel scoffed as he straightened himself up, rolling his eyes to the side, not forgetting what the Moogle tried to do. She could have at least waited to attack his privates after he had the chance to use it. "Better asleep than awake, in my opinion."
Axel's head perked from his exhausted appearance, hearing the scream that rang throughout the walls and made its way into the cool and empty freezer, sounding familiar. His eyes widened as it clicked, and he lifted himself off the surface hurriedly and ran out of the dungeon refrigerator he was in, heading out of the room in a flash of panic, and spotting the pink haired little girl being tackled by a Heartless. Ignoring Rexwand and Xengla who were still there, he simply eyed the Heartless as it suddenly caught on fire by his doing before it clawed out Shigiku's heart, disminishing it into nothing but black wisps, and soon...disappearing completely. "Shigiku!" he exclaimed as he went to her, both surprised and anxious at the fact that she was here. How in the world did she found the hold? He was about to place his hands on her shoulders, but then remembered of what he had done with the gloves, and resisted. He gazed down at the girl in front of him, however, question in his eyes. "What are you doing here? Namine was suppose to watch you..."
OOC: Where did everyone go? o.O *she shrinks as it echoes in the empty thread*
Axel, not seeing or noticing that Shigiku was in the vacinity, draped the two sheets on his shoulders, leaving the matress bare, and only the pillow to keep it company. Walking to step inside the freezer again, he took a deep breath, closing his eyes for a moment to relax himself down. Opening them again, he went in, the cold air hitting him once more, but now he kept himself warm as he stopped when he reached the bloody bodies in front of him....blood, blood, blood. Though the red liquid looked dry, which is understandable considering they were basically frozen, it didn't make the job any better. Making sure not to look in the Shigiku's mother's wide eyes as he crouched down to them....it was searing and reminded him too much of the little girl herself, with thankfully having his hands covered with the vinyl gloves Rexwand gave, he swallowed hard as he tried to move the woman off being on top of her husband. It was hard, because she seemed to be stuck there, but after a bit of force, a slight crunching of ice sound was heard as Axel managed to separate them. He placed the once beautiful woman on the floor next to the man, and went to cover her first with a sheet. Making sure it was tight and over her, he went to do the same with her husband, and now all that was seen was the shape of two bodies hidden in white a she straightened back up, with a few blood spots tainting it. Wanting to run a hand through his face distressingly, but knowing not to due to what his gloves just touched, he laid on the cold, icy wall of the freezer, closing his eyes, and just...staying there...waiting for Rexwand to come with what he asked.
OOC: Eh. I just wondered who would've picked it up xP. As Xemnas walked down the aisle, about to get his walkie talkie out and call on Saïx to report on the mess he had done, along with the intruder, but he spotted Vexen on his path, holding some type of object and having some type of manic look in his eyes. Raising a eyebrow as he studied the scientist blankly, he stepped up to him, taking what he was holding, and looking around, spotting Genie...Genie? Trying not to appear befuddled, his cold eyes gazed down at his worker, pondering what he will be doing with KMart's mascot in his store...in WalMart. "Vexen! What is the meaning of this? Care to explain?"
Axel, getting out of the room with a blank look on his face, still not over the horror he had just seen, went reluctantly to where he saw the doctor come up to Xengla. He didn't even care anymore for her presence as he went to grab the man by the scruff of his neck, a sharp, but saddened look in his eyes as he stared into the Rexwand's own frightened ones. His mind on the picture of Shigiku's parents positions and dead bodies, he simply shook the doctor up. He needed his help, and he was tired of his unprofessional actions. "I found the bodies, get some stretchers, unless you want to carry them by your shoulders. Now." He let him go after the order, before heading back to the room without another word, going towards the bed and taking out the white sheets that he would use to cover them up, though he was upset at the moment.
OOC: Now let's see...how many noticed that Xemas chose the four Org. traitors in KH for the advertisement job? :D Xemnas after a moment of peace alone, went to get up and see what had they done to his store. Saïx needed to be spoken to...he looked down at the paper of the "projects". Of course, just because he had his employees do this for tonight for emergency reasons, didn't mean that they still didn't need their own mascot for the rest of WalMart's days. Sighing as he opened the door to leave, he got out, wondering where to begin. Larxene had walked with Marluxia to his check out station, passing Axel from behind, and reminding herself that she wanted to ask him something. As Marluxia got in his seat on the little booth to wait for any customers, like she found Axel, except without his feet on top of the counter, she looked around, and narrowing her eyes dryly, she went to leave. Why was she wasting time? "Where are you going?" Marluxia asked, in his usual calm, deep voice, watching her go out of his station and heading down somewhere else. He got the honest answer. "To speak to porcupine there." This made him frown, but before he could try to stop her, she was already going to the redhead's place, quick as the wind, as always. He simply turned his blue eyes to where Axel was in the many check out stations, seeing him sitting lazily in his job as the cashier, just three rows up from him. He was going to pay attention to what exactly they might speak or do...if they talk loud enough, he could hear them. Larxene had simply needed to walk a few paces to get to his station, and sliding inside his little booth, she stood there by his side, as Axel appeared bored out of his mind. She was going to wait until she got his attention before speaking, because for some reason, she didn't feel like it. So, with her presence, she made her seat on the counter comfortably as she lifted herslef up on smoothly, and played around with the WalMart shopping bags that were perched in the stack, her eyes focusing on it. In the end though, she went to easily question in a hard tone without looking at him, "Why'd you do that?"
"Is not you who's going to torture," Saïx mumbled under his breath quietly to himself, aware that when Axel was forced to do something, he will hold a bitter grudge until for some reason, Kasha grows on him. As he got in the main office, instead of going to his own private one in the back, he simply gave a nod to the secretary as he grabbed a red paper, and held a thin, black marker to write in. He spent a minute scribbling neatly what he wanted Axel to read, and when he was done, folded it up, and returned the writing utensil back to its place. Expecting Kasha to follow, he made his way to leave the office. "Now, do you already have a dorm room given?" Aerith's eyes danced in jubilation as he replied with a "fine", and really hugged his arm this time, happy that now Cloud was going to keep them company for at least half the school year, or a while. She wanted to act out super excited, but she thought that was a bit too much, especially as that was just simply how she was feeling right now. Of course, a lot could happen in that time with Cloud...but she hoped it was for the best, anything could happen. She could see Tifa grinning like a Cheshire Cat and be bouncy a little as she grasped Cloud's hand harder. It seemed she wasn't the only one who was glad, not that she didn't expetc Tifa not to be. All Tifa could do was shout a "Yes" to her mind, and once she stopped her exaggerated movements, she looked up at Cloud brightly, "Well, not twin exactly, but they sure as hell can pass as brothers. Same colored hair, and you know with that rare red color you could spot Reno fifty miles away... and he has tattoos too, but different...and they almost have the same attitude...his name is Axel. He's somewhere with another friend of mine named Rei." She had explained this quickly, but clear enough for him to understand, because she really wanted to get to the next question, just to be certain that her and Aerith got the right impression. "So...you're really staying?" OOC: Is it just me, but since Rei lookes like Tifa. Axel and Rei are kind of like a homage to the Reno/Tifa coupling (fans are weird...all because they talked on the phone in AC? o.O), don't you think? :P
Xemnas watched as the two left, and turned his eyes at Marluxia and Larxene, who were now about to leave as they got up from their seats. "Marluxia, also keep in mind that the plant is only for you to ride on, and not use. You will fight Roxas one on one, though try to hold back, and hopefully, the boy would do the same." When he saw Marluxia simply nod, he closed out any other people as he heard the door shut, thinking over a few things. He will need to make posters, just so people can see that is simply just a show and is meant to be enjoyable instead of dangerous, as well as promote it...had to make Larxene call the printing press where they get their item ads to do so. Also, his store could be quite the mess, so he had to call the company to send people to fix it...he was going to have to close WalMart for the day to do that, however, because he couldn't afford for any shoppers to see the destruction...which hopefully, wasn't that bad. Looking at his desk, he now noticed a paper on it, and as he read, his eyes grew in interest, "Project System Failure, Project Media Overload, Project Toy Crazy..." It seems that first, he'll have to speak to Saïx. Larxene sighed, glad to be out of the office, and the whole thing seems simple enough. Roxas announces with the megaphone the show and to remind the crowd that it isn't real...Lily will come out with Marluxia riding it while she gives a few sparks, and then him and Roxas will battle, then they leave after two minutes, then she comes in, do a few tricks, and in the end, the dragon. Easy. The whole thing will perhaps be done in five minutes...and she'll get raise. Good enough. Larxene couldn't believe it though..at the whole venus flytrap thing. Holding back a laugh, she stared at Marluxia as they both walked, "So, Lily, what do you think?" Marluxia sent her a dark glare as she smirked and chuckled, but went to ignore it bitterly, yet his tone was tight, "As he said, not great...but counting the time, it will be small and quick to do. And I also don't think the whole Lily situation is funny, so I would like for you to not hover over my back about it."
OOC: Thanks for the idea xP. Aerith had noticed that Cloud seemed to be shifting his eyes on her second to second, and thinking it was because he felt uncomfortable because of her watching...suspiciously enough, she looked at Tifa, who was still holding him, and signaled what she was about to do slightly. When she got the nod, both of her hands grabbed Cloud's free one as she leaned close, placing her head on his arm lightly as they walked...what a girl would do when she was on a date. Aerith could feel a warmth despite herself and the reason she did this, and her cheeks flushed a little, not believing she was actually capable of doing such a thing. However, she kind of did want Cloud to stay, but where? And..."What to do here for a year? Going to keep us company, that's what." She said this jokingly, giggling a bit, but she gave Tifa a secret wink and a motion for her to say something. If he couldn't stay for a year, than at least for quite the while...maybe it was a bit much to ask, but it couldn't hurt to try. Tifa creased her eyebrows for a moment, not getting it as she was amused at the fact that they were both clingling to Cloud's arms, which was funny to her, but once she got her words, she went with the flow of convincing him. "Yeah, you have yet to meet Reno's twin brother...not his twin exactly, but sure looks like it. And even if you can't stay for a year, I have a small apartment where you can stay...I basically live in the dorms, so I don't use it much, and I know the owner, so he understands me and lowers the price...what do you say?"
