OOC: I know, is just funny to see Saïx so serious and with a WalMart outfit tagged on xD... The Larxene line of, "Those petals are really starting to get annoying" are from the KH manga, right? *hasn't read it* Getting back on track as he placed the walkie talkie down, he ignored Axel. "Continuing, as...Lily appears, Marluxia being on top of it as he makes it roar, Larxene, you would send a bit of sparks, some light for the entrance without you being seen. Then, Roxas, this is where you have to put some acting skills on. You would seem surprise for a moment, and then summon your Keyblades as Lily and Marluxia move to attack you. From there, is a full on battle, however, keep in mind that is not serious and I will ask of you two not to kill each other in the process of doing so. By the way, Roxas, make sure to add some exaggerated affects, as this is a show, and we need to keep interest. The battle will last two minutes, into where Larxene will summon a bolt of lightning to hit Lily.....and don't look at me like that, Marluxia, you'll make Lily disappear in a flurry of your pink petals, which will soar into the air and float on the people around in the ground, before the bolt is able to hit the plant. You just have to be prepared on cue, which is a sound of thunder...that Larxene, you have to do, or else...Lily would die. Don't forget it." Letting out a breath, as he was getting a bit relieved that he was almost done, he gave as a finish, "As for what to do after Roxas and Marluxia will disappear, it's going to be ALL you, Larxen...you're going to be the opening act, let's say, to Axel's dragon. For one minute, you can come up with your own ideas to put a lightning show...be creative, but in the end...you have to send three rays of lightning to hit the roof...as that would be the cue for Axel to release the fireworks. So, that makes two cues total that you need to keep in your head. I also have to add, Axel, that before you do realease it, when Larxene's three lightnings hit, I suggest you make the roof be on fire, that way...the dragon can almost rise out of the flames, if you get where I'm going. The roof will be ready for all that will be done to it, so it doesn't matter. And....I'm finish. Is not the best, but as long as people are impressed, even if a gigantic venus flytrap has to come out, then so be it. Any questions or suggestions?"
"Axel is....well he's...how can I say this? He's...he's just a normal, self-assertive, strong student that sometimes gets a little out of hand....to put plainly, he's not your typical golden child, nor the usual golden pupil. Which is why I'm going to teach him a lesson by placing you in his care. Don't worry, he is aware of what to do, as he has a little sister of his own...thirteen years old," Saïx explained, adding the last part so she wouldn't think he was a type of bad person who will treat her horribly, though he was certain that Axel will have trouble accepting the new responsibility placed on him. "As for Cody, it wouldn't do to chase him around, especially as he's supposely a student. We'll catch him." Tifa took Yuffie's words in for a moment, and being a bit more bold than usual, slipped her hand into his own as her other grabbed his arm in a affectionate gesture, her eyes half-lid as she didn't know what the hell she was doing, but she didn't want him to go...and if he did...this might be her chance, yet she was scared..scared because she didn't know his feelings. And what about Aerith? Thinking of the girl, she sent her a secret look of apology, wanting her to not take this seriously, before saying to Cloud softly, "Then how long? For the year? You know, I'm a senior, and so is Aerith, I'll graduate...maybe you can stay for that while and we can...go back home together...or visit." Of course, she wasn't sure, after all, what about her friends here? Aerith just smiled at Tifa's apologetic message, not minding this at all, though it did make her frown a little inside...is not like you can like the one you love to be touched that way by another girl, but she wasn't that type of person to be envious, or fight back. If Tifa got her chance, then she might get hers too, just have to wait. In the end, all that remains is Cloud's feelings in the matter...if he liked any one of them at all.
OOC: Okay, glad that was explained xP (Larxene placed her own style then). But oh my goodness, I have to laugh out loud at Saïx. Rotfl xDD. Xemnas eyed Roxas for a minute, before turning to the rest remaining. "I wouldn't be so excited if I was you, there's a reason I talked to Axel first, as he has the biggest role, the rest are just what lead to it. Now, you better get your ears ready, because this is going to be done one after the other, so I will put all your jobs in a simple explanation instead of separating it and making it more confusing." With this, he decided to go on, "Since Axel is last, Roxas, you'll be first, but Marluxia is second to you as you will have to flow together. I will make it clear. First, Roxas, your job will be to introduce to everyone in the streets, and shout out what I will later give to you in a note with a megaphone, of course, this has magical properties as well, so your voice will reach...quite far. While this is happening, the screen will show the words of caution for the people who might get frightened, and Marluxia will release a giant venus flytrap from, with him riding on it on top. The flytrap is a type of...'pet', let's call it, from before that he had made, though none of you were there to see it. However, that thing has a mighty, mighty roar that will be used...its name is...Lily." "You named a plant?" Larxene asked Marluxia incredulously, looking at him like if he had grown two heads. The scythe wielder seemed kind of indignant, yet remained relaxed all the same, as it wasn't a big deal, in his opinion, anyway. "And what? Is one of my most strongest creations, it even talks...like a baby would, but it talks, and it seems to be in love with me, not to mention it kept asking to give it a name, so I just got one from the top of my head to shut it up.” "But, Lily? Wh-" "SILENCE," Xemnas voice broke in deeply, having the same effect on those around him as if he would've shouted it, as both employees went back to their place and settled. Before he could explain what was next, he got interrupted as the walkie talkie had Saïx speak. He sighed when he heard there was a need of a freezer door replacement, and simply grabbing the small sound box, he replied into it, "Right. Just let me finish the meeting, I'm almost done, and I'll go and check...the mess."
OOC: Oh no, you're making me fangirl now...D: *tries to resist* J/k xP. Larxene, for what's probably the first time in anyone's existence, turned her head away in a frown, with a added roll of her eyes. What makes it special, is that anyone could see that she had been flattered if gazing deep enough, despite her mind questioning why Axel suddenly became so...thought provoking, for lack of better words. Of course, Marluxia being next to her, noticed this and her pleased expression, as he was one of the few who could read her well, and this just didn't sit with him. However, he waited until Xemnas was done with Axel, and with everyone else, before he could talk or place his own movements. Xemnas looked at Axel with another set of praise for actually thinking of the people's needs, which of course, was important when running such a place as WalMart. "Do not worry, Axel, I have thought of that as well. It wouldn't do to scare our future customers away, now, does it? We have yet to explain what Roxas, Marluxia, and Larxene's roles are, am I right? Other than that, we have the big screen TV for our convenience so people could read the explanation and to simply enjoy it without being afraid of getting hurt...the screen will be shielded by me due to what we are going to do as well. Anything else?"
OOC: Oh shoot >.<, I didn't know I had that on. "Forever, if possible," Aerith answered truthfully before she could stop herself, and hearing what came out of her mouth without her notice, she felt her cheeks burn slightly, and tried to "correct" herself, "I mean, you know, we all really miss you...like I miss you, and it would be sad that you have to go back again when this is the first time I've seen you in two and half years. Is nice to see...that everyone feels like home, when you're here..." She didn't know if that would save her slip up, but she made it sound that it was friendly words, yet she couldn't help adding some of her true feelings in it. Hopefully, he wouldn't pick it up, as she hid it pretty well...at least she thought so. Tifa was busy with giving a embarassed smile at Yuffie, but sent her a thankful stare as she stepped next to Cloud, though her head was still turned at the ninja trailing behind him. Thinking of a better position where the girl wouldn't be obscured and feel forgotten, she whispered, "Why don't you go in front, is better that way..." She thought that was good, since she would be in their eye for them to talk to and for her to talk back, as well as not interrupting anything in the long run. However, before she heard her answer, Cloud's question distracted her momentarily, and she listened in as Aerith answered. The Cetra's words didn't surprise her, she knew perfectly well where their feelings stood, but she did wonder if he picked up any of it. Thinking she should help, she added, "Yeah, it does feel like home where you're here...I'm glad to see you, Cloud. And, though is probably not in your plans, I would've wanted you to stay too..."
Xemnas just gave a curt nod. "Yes, yes, I'm willing to hear any ideas, if any, however, is after I'm done speaking." With a sharp eye, he send him a silent message that he could say what he needed to after he finished explaining his role in all this. "A note to everyone, this will be done tonight, as a lighting show is better in the dark, so make sure you're all prepared and in position in the roof, by 6:30. Now Axel...that package you hold in your hand, is a very special magical firework. It has always been here, but there was never a reason to use it, until now. The firework bonds with you the moment you use your own fire on it to lit it up, and in return, you can control where it moves and where it goes...you can make it go around, go to people, which would be good, as we need to impress. What would you be controlling, you may ask? A fire breathing dragon, the type that is serpent shaped, that reaches a very fine height, if you get my drift. It's big, and is hard to take care of, because it is programmed to do many things before it vanishes. It will spit out fire, fire balls, shoot out fire from its wings, things of that case. It won't harm anybody...think about it like 3-D, it looks dangerous and will come towards you, but is harmless and it disappears, like nothing was ever there." He took a break there, making sure Axel was getting all this. "The only time when you lose control, is when the dragon acts on its own in its final presentation, you'll know when, as it will cover the sky in a firey wall for a moment, before it goes up high in the clouds in a rush, and explodes in a flurry of flames as it spreads its wings and makes...well... fireworks, that crosses the atmosphere and makes it possible for all to see. Considering all this, that's going to be the finale, thus, you will the last. The most important, but the last. If you want to, you can also add some fire tricks by yourself, otherwise, that's all. Do you understand? Any questions?"
Tifa saw this, but didn't really mind it. She knew that Cloud wasn't interested in Yuffie, or else, it would've come out, and it was a simple accident is all, she could see that. There was no reason to overreact, though she did feel uncomfortable. However, she didn't say anything on the matter as she waited for Aerith. Aerith just finished closing the door after locking it from inside, and with that done, she simply stepped forward, in which Tifa followed, and smiled at the ones there waiting, "Done! We'll go to the garden, which is close to the court yard in the back of the school, but is a good place for students to sit back and relax, do their homework, study, hang out...is not really a garden, per se, but it have trees, flowers, lots of plants..." She trailed off, mostly saying this to the blond male, before turning around to begin walking. Thinking that they could start a conversation, Aerith went to ask, as she had been thinking this for awhile, "So Cloud, how long will you be staying?"
Hearing Axel and Roxas talking, he went to say in a commanding voice, "QUIET! And sit." Almost as if matching the danger of his tone, Xemnas felt his desk shake, and for some reason, he had a feeling that he wouldn't want to see what his store looked like after the meeting was done. He had asked Saïx to take care of it, not destroy it. Sighing, he turned to the four around him, wanting to begin this as they were seated. "Now, if you have not heard, I will repeat the reason as to why you are here. To put it plainly, KMart has the Genie of the Lamp in their position, and if you are unknown to the power of a genie, they do magic, as well as grant their master three wishes. This isn't the case with the one we are dealing with. Is not because he doesn't do magic, because he does, but he's a free genie, meaning...he's free to roam around, explore, do whatever he wants, unprisoned, tied to no one. This is, of course, the fault of his last possessor, who was the usual pathetic 'kind soul' that set him free." With that out of of the way, he went straight to what they needed to do. "Our goal, is that only for today, because this is only the beginning of what my idea is, we will use our powers to counter Genie's advertisements, which with his magic, can be anything. Do not worry about that, however. What we should focus on, is getting the attention away from him. I would've talked to you all separately, but since this is group work, if you can't manage to sit next to each other, then you can't manage to this without screwing it up. And I warn you. Do NOT screw this up. For your work, you will get a high raise for this week for your contribution as well." With the set of rules and explanation now set, it was time to give the roles to each of them, as he opened a drawer on his desk, taking out a oddly shaped package. This was handed to their resident redhead. "You're first, Axel, since the fireworks are on you, and is perhaps the most attention seeking, hence, makes you a crucial part of the show. Now listen..."
Well, old or fresh news did say that there might be a intro in 358/2 Days (I'm sure, you just have to find it in the New Updates section, because ever since then, I've dreamed of what Axel will look like in CGI :3) since Nomura likes to work over capacities xD. And this is in the wrong section, isn't it?
Are you serious? o.O I understand you not liking pairings such as DonaldxJasmine (Holy forbid...), but I'm surprised you hate MickeyxMinnie and those type of pairings, since they are the same race. Wow, I think this is the first time I ever met someone with those views >.<. Not that it's bad, you can like what you want, just saying.... I don't understand either xP. I also don't understand how some think that just because we don't support Axel/Roxas and Demyx/Zexion, means we're automatically homophobes. I don't mind yaoi, and I mean, real yaoi, such things as Gravitation, because I have nothing against gay people. No, I simply don't like those type of KH pairings because they're just plastered together for fantasies. Other than showing a deep friendship, I don't see Axel/Roxas as anything else, but two guys being placed together because they're "cute" and "hot", and worse if they are best friends, because apparently, guys can't care and protect each other without being labeled gay (no wonder guys are so scared to openly show their feelings to what they mean to each other as friends). They read too much into context and "in-between the lines". I can understand where the fangirls are coming from, as Axel and Roxas had a very in depth friendship, and is for preference, just like I love Axel and Larxene (though I know is not canon, I just like what their personalities in a mix can bring and what they can bring as a couple, we need a love/hate relationship, instead of all the innocent love that's floating around. We need spiiiice, and what better than fire and lightning making sparks? xDD). What boggles me, is that they take AkuRoku so canonly sometimes, and then there's the overrun of pictures and fanfics about all yaoi around. As for the Org. pairings, if Axel and Roxas can have a friendship, and in the game it is hinted that Nobodies aren't fully devoid of emotions, then I guess that's where it comes from, so is not that farfetched. Yet, the rest of the Org. seemed to just be comrades to me, people you work with, whether you like or dislike, and other than Axel, Roxas and, well, Naminé, they don't show any interest about whether they have feelings or not...they don't question it. Saïx is loyal to Xemnas, hence, they get paired, and some are just simply ideas, like Axel/Xigbar (oh my Gawd...), but if you follow the game, none of the pairings can exist in canon reality. Again, preference. Also, since the Org. is popular, people want to write about them, and hence, they would want to write romances. Riku/Naminé started in CoM, mostly because of the bond that Repliku and Naminé shared, not to mention that Naminé met the real Riku, had spoken to him, and helped him not to fall into the darkness (remember when she appeared as Kairi to him). That, AND since people liked Sora and Kairi, Naminé had no one, and neither did Riku, and since Nobodies weren't yet...well, named and explained, people thought that they might've gotten together. In the end, that wasn't the case. If you see the fanfics before KH2 appeared, you can see alot of Riku/Naminé. However, as soon as Roxas came into existence, and he shared talking moments and scenes with Naminé (especially the ending), Riku/Naminé got was shot down, though they are still supported. But now, Riku mostly plays as a rival for Roxas in fanfiction xP, or gets in a triangle. And what? They made out or had a rump automatically? x.X They could've gone their separate ways, they could have talked about the next steps, but I definitely don't think they had a secret thing going on, what for? Marluxia doesn't seem the type for such nonsense truthfully, and Larxene didn't appear like she had a inch of interest (when Marluxia was in the same room with her in scenes anyway, all I sensed was distance, or else, I would've supported it). Sides that, this is KH. That sort of thing is unbelieveable except in fanfics. Axel and Larxene were partnered together in the same room for who knows how long to check what happens in the globe, yet I don't believe they did anything either. And I'm not defending Axene here, you can interpret whatever you want or think, but the very first parts of your sentence made me speak up, because I find your ignorance insulting.
Lol xDD. And it's all he has. Poor Nomura will never give him a girl, at least, not one we'll see in the game. He has to pass down his good looking genes to his Riku babies with someone, after all :3. Anyway, mines are, and in order: ♥ Axene ♥ (Axel x Larxene) Roxiné (Roxas x Naminé) Sokai (Sora x Kairi) Special Mentions: Hayner/Olette Repliku/Naminé Mickey/Minnie Donald/Daisy
"You're not in trouble, if then, he's a part of the school," Saïx explained, not expecting such a person to be attending Twilight High, though this was perhaps the only high school. Even so, there was to be done something, so he will need to speak to Xemnas about it after he left a note under Axel's door. One thing at a time, after all. Pulling open the door of the office by the handle, he motioned for Kasha to get in. "It seems we do have to keep a eye on you. Get in, and you'll stay with me for the while. You can even accompany me into going to your new...babysitter's room...though is only at his door. Get used to it, though. He'll be taking care of you."
Xemnas gave a nod as Saïx went off, but he knew that something needed to be done. However, his assistant did manage to plant a idea on his mind about a Nobody, and along with the help of the people here, he might work on the grand opening he's been wanting. With a Genie, KMart can do many things, so it was up to them to create something just as spectacular. The most stressing process of running a store is to actually mind the competition. Locking the door again as he closed it, if anything, Saïx will knock, he made his way to his very comfortable, and great sized rolling chair that was behind the clean and shiny mahogany wood that was his desk, and sitting down on it lightly, he waited for his workers to settle and get comfortable to begin. Larxene had chosen to sit in the middle seat of them all, as Marluxia sat beside her silently, simply listening to Xemnas and Saïx speak about confronting the stranger she met, before the Superior, as they called him, walked to his throne like seat to get things going, sitting down not seconds later as his eyes scanned over them all. Since she couldn't speak to Axel at the moment, and he was talking to Roxas, she'll keep in mind to do so afterwards.
Saïx merely smirked at the dog or wolf's threat, not finding it nothing but a unneeded hassle. Hearing Kasha speak now after her sudden attack on the stray, he looked back down at her, yet not gentle, but sternly, almost angry. "That was a stupid thing to do, bring it to the school. Not only did you endanger everyone here, but you also showed him where you will stay for a latter part of your day, and it might return. Foolish." His eyes glazed over as he studied her deeply, reprimanding her. "You're welcome, however, it doesn't change the fact that now, this dog might come back."
OOC: Lol at "Why did you lock me out?" xD. And I.....can't think of anything other than Twilight Thorn. Unless this one is made to do some magic... Which can be done with Xemnas's help, actually. Hearing Saïx outside his door, Xemans immediately answered in a authorative tone, "No, do not take the inflatable Nobody out. I have noticed the Genie on top of KMart and its doings, and I'm already working on it with my employees. However..." Xemnas was planning to use their powers to create a show later on tonight, yet, perhaps Saïx can work in some ideas as well. Considering this wasn't a weekday, they could make the first advertisement for WalMart a grand opening, and it will attract everyone's attention, on the streets, in the air... Unlocking the door once more, though not taking down the shield, he looked at his assistant manager. "I have locked the door and added protection because it has been reported that a suspicious man was browsing around the store...and he might be spying or infiltrating. Whichever one, we need someone to take care of that...."
Axel placed his vinyl gloved covered hand over his mouth, not only to cover any hint of a smell (which was barely there due to the bodies being in a freezer, hence, being preserved), but from the bloody mess and Shigiku's mother's eyes that were still open hauntingly....he was for a moment, stunned. He wasn't disgusted, nor was he about to vomit, but the sight...was horrifying, and not satisfying to look at. God, he couldnt help but feel for these poor people...what a horrible and unfair way to be killed. Finding himself a bit numb and unmoving, he listlessly and blankly turned around to walk out, needing to get the doctor. His brain began to wire as well, and as he went outside of the freezer, he noted that they could use the sheets of the bed to cover the...bodies. How could Jack do this? How was he capable of....killing them this way?
OOC: Twilight Thorn is the best we can do anyway :/. By the way, if you read my previous post, Xemnas had placed a shield and locked the door so no one can get in as he starts the meeting.
Saïx saw this with widened eyes, caught a bit by surprise compared to his usual blank expression, and seeing as this was some type of violent dog or wolf, he immediately went on the defense of the student, simply kicking the bigger dog far off from where they were, his face tight as his eyes narrowed. This wasn't a time to get out his weapon, or there wasn't even a need to, but if anything, he would summon it. Ordering Kasha, he said, "Get behind me. Now." Looking still at the stray, he stated in a deep and serious voice. "I suggest you get out of school property, or certain type of action must be taken to the violence you have done to one of our students. Are you following what I'm saying?"
OOC: Is good, but what will Twilight Thorn do for advertisement and stuff? Unless his giganticness is enough xP. I'll add Genie to the front page, then. Larxene just stood there for a moment, watching with wide eyes as the man acted...well, to put it plainly, insane. She remained still as he ran off to some part of the store, recognizing the voice some what. Despite that WalMart had cameras, this was something she had to report to Xemnas. At first, she was pissed at her boss, but she decided to go a little easy on him since he did apologize for his wrong. And that "man" was strange...she could almost see who he was. Larxene was going to keep the suspicion to herself, however, and just let the boss know that someone was lingering and spying around WalMart, and that it should be kept a eye on. Nonetheless, what exactly was he trying to gain? There was nothing here, precisely. She turned her body around to catch up with the rest, who had kept going. Didn't matter, it wasn't like she didn't know where Xemnas's office was, and it rang true as she half ran to it quickly. Unlike some girls, high heels for Larxene were like running in sneakers, after all, most of the time she fought and trained with them, and it was twice the pain when you kick someone with a heel as a added bonus. She loved doing it to her male opponents, and see them crumble under it. Tee hee. In a better mood, and with a delighted smirk on her face at the thought, she spotted the men going in, and got there in time to get there as Axel was inside. Before she went in herself though, staring at Xemnas with permission and him letting her, she leaned up to his ear, and whispered what she had seen quietly. Xemnas eyes grew as his lips formed a tight thin line, and while usually he would do something about it as soon as possible, he didn't want to keep this meeting waiting any longer. He was just going to take precautions then, to see if this man was in fact, here for another different reason other than shopping. He gave a stern nod to Larxene, who simply smiled deviously, and got inside the room, and in return, he closed the door shut behind him as he locked it firmly. His office was big enough to fit a certain amount of people in, so there was much space left despite the crowd of four. However, before he went to sit down, he placed his hands in the wall, and a sudden glossy shine was all that was seen as he placed a shield, to keep anyone out and listening in on their conversation, including anyone with potential magic, just for added protection. It wasn't odd for people to have magic and powers, after all. That was the best he would do for now.
Saïx was about to enter his office, when he felt a body or something hit his legs in a clash. Of course, this didn't faze him and didn't make him fall back, but he looked down to see what was it that crashed, only to see that same pup that was suppose to be a student from before. Gazing down at her, his gold eyes glinting, he asked, "What is it that you're doing now, may I ask?" Tifa giggled at Yuffie's excitement, getting up from her bed, and following her out, though instead of right in the middle of the hall, she leaned on the surface close to the doorway, wanting to wiat for Cloud...and Aerith, specifically. The short, black haired girl had a point...this did feel like old times...it almost made her feel nostalgic. She wondered briefly how everyone was doing back home... Aerith let out a small chuckle herself, grabbing her dorm key from a nearby table as she went to stand as well. Placing it in the pocket of her dress, she walked delicately to the door, but stopped as she stood in front of Cloud. Giving him a amusing smile as she clasped her hands behind her back, she halfway joked and explained, "As much as I like the chivalry that goes with you letting ladies go first, I'm the one who has to lock the door."
