OOC: Roxas and Axel are in their apartment, watching The Ring, and Roxas is talking with Larxene by phone to see if Naminé is okay. Larxene and Naminé were together in a creepy street, and they separated when Naminé found Larxene wasn't next to her (out of nowhere, like she disappeared) and a skeletal being scared her and she ran to somewhere else, where Angel is now at. Larxene is confused to where Naminé went since she thought she was right next to her, and stuff. That's it.
Axel half-lidded his green eyes as he caught the bottle in his hand swiftly, only to throw it behind him, hearing it go into the trash can that he knew was there perfectly. He sighed mockingly and dryly. "You try to give your best friend advice on girls, and all you get is something thrown at you. I'm so flattered." He then chuckled, smirking. "Maybe we need Demyx to come and sing Kiss The Girl, for Roxas to get the hint."
OOC: Nope :l.
"Gel, you can have the game now," Axel spluttered out grinning as he heard Naminé give out her feelings, digging his hand on the other side of his pocket, and taking out the blue SP. He walked over to her, and handed it, not needing it for the moment. "Again, thanks. It worked for my boredom." Then he went eye Roxas displeased, making sure it was loud enough to hear, "Come on, Roxas! Is 'Sure, Naminé', all you have to say? Be like, I would love to go out on a date with you, and I like you too, or something, man. Hell, is embarrasing enough that she asked you out instead of the other way around..."
"You mean more than 2,000, right? I don't think any of them are here, thank God, the last thing I need is a stalker. Besides...," Axel trailed off as he took out the little paper of the girl he met at that restaurant, Tiffany. "I already got my company. And Naminé, come on, is not going to get anywhere unless one of you say your feelings upfront." Turning to Angel, putting back the paper in his pocket, as he did hear her question he shook his head. "Nope, turns out he was just some interviewer from kh-vids. And the reason he kidnapped Phisoxa is to get us for the said interview, though he had a bad run-in with Larxene before....should've known better."
"Riiiight," Axel purred sarcastically, obviously spotting Roxas and some girl there, that he hasn't met yet, and for some reason, thought it dangerous. He had also heard Roxas' words, and smirked at the blonde. "Well, now that you know that he likes you, when are you going to admit it and make-out?"
OOC: Sure, you're in. Just keep in mind that is night and everyone's sleeping (in their dorms), except for Riku who's sncuk out to a restaurant with girl, and Axel, Larxene, and Rei. And yeah. Since you're Undecided, just go look for Roxas to get you in the Skaters.
Axel turned off the Game Boy Advance SP that Angel had lend to him, a biy disppointed how things turned out around him. He wanted to torture and have a bit of fun to the kidnapper, but he guessed it was not to be done. Sighing, he swung himself up from the floor, placing the game safe in his pocket for now, eyeing the people in the room. He went to the door, and saw Naminé, smiling at the girl, but she seemed to have a long face on. "Why the sudden frown, Nami?"
"Busy doing what?" Roxas asked lightly, not getting satisfied with that answer, as the foreboding sense was gripping at him for some reason. He didn't think he was going to to be calm until he heard her voice. "If she can't come to speak, can she at least yell to let me know she's okay?"
Roxas closed his eyes, trying to go back to their conversation. "Other than that, all she said was that she had to do this alone, since I wanted to go with her, and made me trust her with the fact that she could do it, and I made her promise she'll be back alive, and won't do anything foolish. That she had to take care of a few things, before we had discussed. After that, she.....she just finally said 'Take care', as she left."
"Hey, Larx," Roxas greeted back, as he quirked a eyebrow upward, a little lost on what Larxene meant by a "stranger". Walking back to the couch, needing to sit down, he plopped next to Axel, eyeing the movie for a second, before tearing his gaze away. Questionably, he asked, "What stranger? And is Naminé around, I wnat to speak to her. I was kind of worried you could say...since I don't know, a story." Hopefully, he inquired again, "So, is she available?" "Availaible for some sweet, and luscious loving," Axel added mockingly and loud, glancing at Roxas sideways who was giving him a deadly glare. "Wet dreams again?" Roxas placed the cell away from him for a moment, and with his free hand, sucker punched his friend in the shoulder, but hard, as he snarled irritatingly, "Axel just the hell up for once, would you?! Damn, is this the annoy the heck out of me night or something? Watch your freaking movie!" With a huff, he placed the phone back in his ear, and went to Larxene again, sighing. "Is she?"
Roxas nodded at Vexen's explanation, a bit confused about this all as well, only to turn back to Zexion once more, hearing his inquiry. Thinking he should reply to this one, he shook his head, his face stern. "She didn't tell me why. But she was acting weird...like she asked me to take care of things...and it was suspicious enough for me to go on about a speech and how Axel wouldn't want her gone, since he died protecting her." He then make connection with Zexion's eyes, different shades of blue clashing. "That's why I want to see what she does, so if there's any trouble, I can go and help her...."
Roxas perked up as he heard the call answered, only the hello didn't sound like the sweet and quiet voice of Naminé, but a sharp, yet cute and melodic tone answered...and quite rude. Scrunching his eyebrows together confused, as that voice sounded familiar, he spoke, "This is Roxas...." Thinking of the sound, he tried to think what was so familiar about it, until his eyes widened in realization. "Larxene?" Axel was intent on the movie, even though he saw it last week. It was kind of weird, somebody pranked called him the same day he watched it, right after he finished watching it. Something about dying in seven days, but he thought it was Roxas, besides, considering they were Nobodies, they had some abilties to spy. It was stupid, really. That's why he wanted to get him back. He heard Roxas talk, so Naminé must've picked up, but when he listened, his eyebrows raised when his friend spoke Larxene's name. What was she doing with Naminé's cell? Unless they are together, of course...
Roxas just shrugged, not answering, still staring at him for awhile, before turning his eyes on Vexen, who he heard groan at his sudden presence. Giving a empty smirk at him, he found himself peering at the Cloaked Schemer again. "Larxene went by herself to some place she wouldn't tell me about, and I came to ask, since you're the one with the ability, if you could keep your senses on her, and tell where she is. I won't go after her, I just need to be sure she'll be alright." Licking his lips, slightly, he also asked, "And...have you figured out anything? "Nothing," Vexen answered on behalf of Zexion, his eyes turning into slits as he eyed the boy, who made his machine in a heap of clobber, which was un-needed, and now the female he wanted to scout for them goes off. "It leads to a malfunction any way you look at it...if there is a way to do so to make it look like a accident, then I don't know..."
OOC: I get you xD. Growling, Roxas stood up to go to the table where his cell phone was, away from a laughing Axel, all the while angrily exclaiming, "You're such an a**!!" Snatching his cell from the surface, he quickly searched for Naminé's number on his contact list, before pressing Send, and placing the speaker on his ear, waiting as he heard it dial, only two times before the constant annoying beep rang in his ear of it being busy. Getting uneasy, he ended it, only to redial. Come on, pick up, Nami... Axel was letf over in the confines of the sofa, his mirth leaving a bit as he saw Roxas dialing his "girlfriend", or rather, the girl who he was always concerned about, and turned his eyes back to the screen, watching as the movie was on its climax so far. Axel shook his head, smiling as he thought of Roxas, and muttering to himself, "You're just a chicken...seriously, like The Ring could be real...pfft..."
"Well, think of who Max is conversing alot with, and who also disappears without a trace in the long run...our dear Savage Nymph," Vexen boredly told him, knowing Zexion could've gotten this alone, yet he understood once he found him concentrating. "Besides, as you said, we should keep a eye on Larxene, right?" Roxas didn't like the fact of Larxene going alone somewhere, considering what she might do and the way she was talking, and even if she did promise, he couldn't lose track of her. If perhaps, she wasn't going to look over her life, then he would, because Axel would never have wanted her gone. Roxas eyed his bed wistfully for a moment, wanting to just lay on it and sleep, just...replenish himself, but he knew he wouldn't be able to with the current dilemma, and his thoughts and emotions. Holding back a yawn, darkness encircled him as he portalled, the ebony view dispersing as he found himself in Vexen's lab, the Chilly Academic sitting, while Zexion was...probably smelling people again. "Did I come at a bad time?"
Axel, for once in this whole eerie night, had a serious expression on his face as she eyed his best friend, and thinking over his words, he said, "Well, you shouldn't worry, really. I mean...you can't fret over a dream, correct? Just try to calm down, I'm sure she's alright." Roxas sighed, closing his eyes as Axel spoke, but simply gave a nod, still unsure, and if anything he'll call her, which is what he should do, call her. Looking over at the TV screen, he noticed what they were watching, and he quickly looked down. He hated that movie. "Axel....why are we watching The Ring? You know how I feel about that...even if we can't feel, but you get the point..." Axel was about to go on this whole opinion about Nobodies, but shook his head inwardly, and changed it to, "You're only scared whem Samara comes out of the well. Can't say I blame you..." It was then he took a ominous tone, whispering and husking scarily, a creepy smirk appearing on his lips. "The way she comes out of the screen...ever so slowly...coming for you...her chipped bloody nails going to reach where you are...walking crookedly as her body passes...wetting the floor with her slimy bare feet and long hair around her pale and dead face...about to-" "Shut up!" Roxas interrupted a bit anxious, feeling himself get goosebumps, only for Axel to erupt in laughter.
Vexen groaned, his eyes killing him from the overdose of the thinking and the figuring out, and he walked forward to the vacant chair Roxas had used, sitting himself on it. Running hand down his face, he closed his eyes as he pondered over Zexion's words. "This Max is a pain, he's always been. So...are you saying that Axel might be alive or something of the sort? I mean, what would this guy gain from this?" Opening his eyes, he thought some more. "Maybe...we should ask someone to explore this obscured phenomenon..." Roxas hesitated for a while, but ended up nodding his head, and surprisingly, gave her a soft smile. Honestly, Larxene didn't seem that bad as she was portrayed or what he thought of, so maybe Axel did make a right choice. "Fine then. I'll trust you on that. Only if you promise that you'll turn out to be alive in all this..."
OOC: Actually, I think Aerith is taken by FinalForm, I just never got to updating it, and I forgot, since he isn't posting. But I don't know if she's available...I have to ask. Yep ^^;, I don't want to be gone at this moment though, but it will be fun. As for Tifa, of course I do :P, I can't let Gate hanging. So she's yours for the times I'm not here. Axel froze in mid-step on his way to the bed, his body seeming to stiffen as he felt her arms encircle him from the back, his eyes widening in surprise, and what he was about to breath caught in his throat. It was obvious he was tensed at the moment, but he really wasn't going to leave just yet, he wanted a break to cool down and was going to her mattress, yet...she... He gulped, fluttering his eyes as he tried to find some speech, but it was hard when she was...doing that, as the fact that he was attracted to her was proven, he could even swear he felt a shiver. Shutting his eyes to relax, he opened them again, only to open his mouth and quietly say, "I...I wasn't going to leave, I was just...heading to the bed..." Axel let out a breath, finally getting his control back, but not moving away. "But...I do have to leave soon..." Riku ordered the dessert he wanted as the waiter came over, clasping his hands as he went away to get it, and waiting for the taste again. He placed his vision on Sharix, who was looking out the window calmly, and smiled, thinking of whether to disrupt her. "What do you want to do after this? Go to the hotel..or something else?"
"Max?" Vexen repeated incredulously, eyeing Zexion with a bit of hesitation, not getting why the plotter would want Axel killed, if he did do it. Hearing Zexion's question, his brain wired as he went to explain, "Yes, I do. The machine...basically, to put it short, the machine couldn't handle the pressure. The light, the vitamins, the whole energy, it was too much. I notice this because of the gas compass, the point was way over, and the glass on it was broken, and the casket looked like it short-ciruited from the inside. Nothing seems out of the ordinary that will say otherwise, which is why I'm perplexed by this whole situation..." It was then he half-lidded his eyes, going back to his thought before. "And, by the way, if it was Max, why would he do it? I thought we came to the fact that he needed Axel and Larxene for his plans? Why would he kill...the most important puppet of them?" Roxas sighed, not completely satisfied, but he at least got what he had wanted to know, and for Larxene to prove, she didn't seem to be lying about it either. He made his way to get up numbly, this whole problem exhausting him to the bone, and the headache forming was making it worse. He stared up at Larxene, studying her briefly, before replying seriously, "I'm done. I will...take care of things....just don't do anything stupid, okay? Remember what I told you before...and, I want to go with you...." He then scratched his head with his hand tiredly, not wanting to say this. "We are...Axel's precious people, right? So shouldn't we stick together in this? I don't trust anyone else, and...I'm still unsure of whether to trust you, but if he loved you, there must be a reason...he's a good judge of character, and that's enough for me..."
