    Is there any possible way to obtain some avi. file quality of 358/2 Days?

    I figured since the game has come out for quite awhile in Japan, and since the other thread is filled with previous opinions (probably those who posted won't come back again), we can write down our present thoughts about Xion as of now. We are aware of her character, role, and fate, and liable to reserve our feelings properly. The poll also has a lot of options, seeing as not everyone has a specific sentiment (some people might not hate her, but dislike her. Some people might like, but not "OMG!XION<3<3" love). I kind of answered this question on another forum, so I'll post it here as well.

    Naturally, this will have spoilers for those who have not yet played the game. So, beware and do not step in =P.

    As the OP, I'll have to say:

    ***​




    She was o-v-e-r-r-a-t-e-d.

    - Half of the Organization had more role than she did, despite the lack of depth for each character, and even in more than one game. Axel and Saïx, maybe the others who's real names we haven't figured out will maybe be in BBS. The other half of the Organization are the apprentices, which have a tie in Xehanort's past.
    - Coming from this, to be truthful, they wasted too much valuable screen time for a character who in the long run, won't matter just as much as Repliku did in the large KH mythos. They went too far. They had other eleven characters to pursue and give some personality to, some deeper meaning, and all we got were Secret Reports, which is bullshit, sorry to say. And that's what bothers me the most out of all of it. This was the only chance to go through the problem and fix it. Not to mention, we had to sit through the constant wangst. It felt more like Roxas's and Xion's game. With Axel. Not just Roxas's time in the Organization. The Organization itself felt like background decoration, and they were there only because that's where Roxas lived. And all because of a being that will never be used again? Yeah, they wanted to develop Xion somewhat. But what about the rest who have near nothing? Riku Replica, we got his story, his thoughts, and his battle about his existence. And CoM didn't spend the whole game on that, while able to concentrate on other things. And this was in the GBA. I know the Organization members would be side characters, minor characters. But, honestly, other than the three, all that was left was Riku to be of importance a little. I would understand if the members were side characters and villains in Sora's game, not on their lives. But here...it's their territory. And there was nothing done.
    - The whole replica thing was an unneeded complication. KH2, was, honestly, just fine without Days. We just got the simple meaning. Sora needed Roxas because he was his other half. Without him, Sora's memory completion will slow, and he would never wake up. To the point. Nothing more, nothing less. Hell, Xion wasn't ever mentioned, or existed, rather, and there weren't at all any other thoughts in the game itself of her. The only connection that's worth it's the dual-wielding, and why Roxas inherited or it got passed down to him. Which would be explained in BBS, mostly; the Keyblade's methods. Xion wasn't needed for that either. It's that's just the same as Xigbar seeing Ven. Minor hints. BBS will still go through with it, we were just given an example that still wasn't really promising, or needed to be seen. I'm sure there were other probable facts that makes sense that would awaken that power within Roxas. For example, if he really had Ven's Heart, and he was connected with Sora at the same time. It even gives more mystery to BBS in the long run, too.
    - Xion's personality was bland. She was a mixture of Naminé the most, quiet, bit bashful, and depressing, yet, without her charm. She also got Kairi's spunk, and constant giggling genes. She was nice, sweet, kind. She was so lovely, and an obvious good girl. Xion was designed only as someone to sympathize with, having endless monologues about her existence, and her friends. Angst, angst. And, just really. Just...meh. She didn't stand out among the rest except that she wielded. And she ended up not being a real female. I'm certain people place her in their favorites list because of her saddening, oh so tragic story, and her death. And that's okay. I'm just not a person to fall for it. Sympathize? Of course. Have her death affect my opinion? Not really. A character has to get me from the get-go, because that's what sets me up for the tragedy, if there is any. And if it wasn't for the unnecessary troubles Xion caused that was basically, a summary of the whole game in itself, she would be boring. Riku Replica's fate was much sadder, let me tell you. Everything was a lie to him. He had no friends, the person he cared for and deeply had feelings for...that had been constructed out of nothing, but false memories. While having no happy memories of his own. The whole gang of Organization members were complete asses to him, even Axel, throughout his whole short life. He was manipulated and used. He wanted to be real, and become his own person. Even going as far as fighting the real Riku for it. And he died a death that he didn't expect or wanted. So, any one who said Xion is a sad fate, check again. She had her moments, memories to keep her okay, even though everyone forgot her. She thought for herself, and decided her fate. And she was glad and alright with it. So no, that doesn't work. In fact, the only one I feel sorry for is Roxas in this whole thing.
    - Also to add in: I felt like they were forcing and trying too hard for Xion's "suffering" >.>. The nightmare, for one. And then that random yell of frustration after Riku handed her ass to her that was suppose to make us think she was so torn (actually, Xion got her ass handed to her a lot of times). Seriously? Girl, or boy, or "it". Whatever. Chill out. Even Roxas had a better reason to yell in anger since he couldn't thwack Diz with his Keyblade repeatedly.
    - The "trio" was shit :/. Without Roxas having a say, the real connection between the other two, it would have never happened. I shouldn't question the friendship between Xion and Axel if this was a tight group. Speaking of Axel, he blatantly chose Roxas over her. Despite what some views may be, no trio has ever outwardly expressed, or written, in this case, favoritism amongst each other.
    - She was a plot device to keep the game interesting. That was all she was made for and her role. The Organization were sacrificed for a plot device that Nomura was excited for since she was made so "cleverly"...
    - Sora gives birth to a lot of things. That's what Days taught me in the end. Next, it's his energy or something of the like.

    Overall - I am neutral on her character, though it's bordering more on dislike. She certainly isn't my favorite, and she certainly didn't get my attention other than the freak show she gave Roxas at the end. But I'm not going to rant as I did before. She was just...there's still no reason for her to have ever existed, basically. I mean, what was her purpose? Other than being some failed interest? Take Xion out, and the series is not affected at all. And if Nomura isn't creative enough to have figured out another plot point for Days other than a clone, then he shouldn't be a director (not that I'm going to ignore the lack of professionalism, and letting bias and favoritism take over, along with his staff). Because there could be many obstacles that Roxas can go through. Xion didn't need to be given this much attention. Or have a side game wasted on her.

    Here are all 60 reports you get at the end of the game each time you finish the trial missions, provided by: http://heartstation.org/?page_id=1328


    Day 7 — Significance of Existence
    A name gives meaning to a living thing, significance to an existence. In order to make this new power certain, we carried out the Replica Plan. Even to the newly-moving doll ‘No.i’, a new name is necessary. Perhaps that name will become the significance of existence for ‘No.i’.

    Day 8 — Roxas (Axel?)
    New faces have come in one after the other. #13 is Roxas and #14 is Xion. Today my mission was to teach basic things to Roxas. From the day Roxas first came to the Organization, it feels like I’ve been made to be the one who takes care of him for some reason. It’s been like that since day 1, but, he’s kind of a vague guy. He seems pretty able, so it seems like he’ll be a good partner.

    Day 9 — As Supposed
    Now, Xion is still in test period. On the other side, Roxas is in a training period. Until Xion can move reliably, she ought to avoid contact with Roxas as much as possible. Vexen is saying that perhaps even within 10 days Xion will come to be able to display those abilities. I expect that Marluxia is watching the movements of the ‘Keyblade Hero’.

    Day 14 — Really, This Guy? (Axel?)
    Had a second mission with Roxas. Like I thought, I’m this guy’s caretaker. Lately, his responses have been a little more lucid. Have his memories started to come back, maybe? Even so, is it really true what they say, that this guy is the Nobody of the ‘Keyblade Hero’?

    Day 15 — Not Doing It (Larxene, definitely)
    Seriously! “One person is enough to keep watch over the Hero’s movements”, he says? If teaching that guy magic is boring, I won’t do it! Ah well, this will be over soon too. If I go over there, the plan will take action. I can’t be hanging around with the absent minded Nobody of the Hero.

    Day 22 — Castle Oblivion (Axel?)
    It seems like going to Castle Oblivion has been pushed forward. Was it because the Hero has been moving…that Hero’s nobody is still as vague as before, but we’ve been eating ice cream together every day for the past several days. We don’t really talk, but he’s come to change his expression a fair bit. We talked about Castle Oblivion, but he didn’t really seem to get it. Ahh well, that’s how it is.

    Day 23 — Research Log 326
    The plan is going more or less smoothly. Concerning the most superior replica, ‘No.i’, it is going almost too smoothly. The other that we couldn’t acquire a number for was brought to Castle Oblivion, with the plan to do further research with it. Isn’t it okay to call these replicas special nobodies?

    Day 24 — The Movements of the Upstairs Group
    The Hero has arrived at the Castle. It seems that Marluxia’s guidance went well. It seems that many plans are progressing at the same time, but it doesn’t mean we get to know the contents of each of those plans. It seems that individuals have their own plans, pretending that they are the plans of the Organization. It’s necessary to pay attention to Marluxia’s movements in particular.

    Day 25 — Hollow Unity
    Even though I questioned Zexion closely, I couldn’t obtain much information. I knew it would be like that, but I didn’t get nearly enough information. It’s a fact that those at the lowest levels aren’t let know what is happening upstairs, or what we should do here downstairs. Zexion said ‘the unity of the Organization’, but I don’t expect that ever existed in the first place. However, Zexion is the only one able to trust in it, no mistake.

    Day 26 — Axel’s Movements (Zexion?)
    Axel’s movements are suspicious, and I’m guessing that perhaps it’s because of some kind of information obtained from Saïx. Why did he destroy Vexen, who was satisfied with being left to carry out his research? Weren’t Vexen’s annihilation, and the cancellation of that plan, things to have been avoided? We of the downstairs group and the upstairs group each have our own speculations… And then, there are definitely speculations other than that. If we don’t hurry and make sure of it…

    Day 27 — Key to the plan ( Marluxia?)
    In a short while, Sora will be delivered into my hands. Sora, who has had his memories re-written by Naminé, is now no more than our doll. If we have the Keyblade Hero in our hands, we will also be able to control the replica plan. It will be easy to take over the Organization.

    Day 28 — Disposing of Traitors
    A summary of the contents of the Replica Plan has surfaced. But, I couldn’t obtain information on the one other replica that there should be. Leadership of the Replica Plan must not be handed over to those guys. Vexen being annihilated along the way couldn’t be helped. The bigger problem is that of the traitors. There’s a difference between a clear traitor to us, and someone who’s getting in the way.

    Day 50 — A Strange Feeling (Xion?)
    Roxas woke up. I think he was probably dreaming the whole time. When I’m with Roxas, I get this strange feeling. It feels familiar, like listening to the sound of waves at the beach. I wonder why?

    Day 51 — Amending Assumptions
    The Replica Plan is satisfactory, but it seems that something unusual is happening in Castle Oblivion. Dusks brought back rumours of the Castle. But, they are nothing more than fragments of information. There’s not enough to judge what is happening. I definitely can’t think that he’s been destroyed, but maybe someone should make another move. First of all, if we don’t find out where the Hero is…

    Day 52 — One More Mission (Axel)
    The hero and the invaders’ whereabouts have all been lost track of. Right now there’s no one in this castle but me. Everyone other than me has been destroyed. It was certainly an order to take care of the traitors, but maybe the worst traitor is me. I have to investigate this castle a little longer.

    Day 71 — The Traitors’ Last Days
    It seems that Saïx is somehow deeply connected to the elimination of those guys who went to Castle Oblivion. Which means, Axel is probably connected to it too. It is a fact that, through Saïx, Xemnas ordered Axel to take care of the traitors. It seems as if it wasn’t said who the traitors were however, of course Xemnas knew of those guys’ betrayal.

    Day 72 — Humanlike
    When you’ve been acquainted for a long time, you come to say nothing but the uncertain and noncommittal things out loud, without saying the things that are certain. You think they understand, without it being said. When it comes to those guys who were destroyed in Castle Oblivion, I’m spared by it being okay to leave things vague. But, the Hero, and Roxas, don’t say noncommittal things out loud. It’s unclear whether that’s humanlike, or whether they are special.

    Day 73 — What’ll I do… (Xion?)
    I can’t use the Keyblade anymore. I don’t know why. I don’t know what to do, either. It feels like I stopped being able to use it suddenly. If I can’t collect hearts, I’ll be absolutely worthless. What should I do?

    Day 74 — Xion’s Face (Axel?)
    To be frank, I didn’t understand why Roxas got so involved with Xion, who always has her hood up and never shows her face. Sure, they’re both newcomers and have many similar points, but she’s a companion who leaves her face hidden. But today, I saw Xion’s face for the first time. Suddenly, Xion took her hood off. That face resembles Naminé.

    Day 75 — I Have To Do Something (Xion)
    Roxas has been going with me, who can’t use my Keyblade, on missions. Not just Roxas but Axel has also helped me, and so it looks like it will be okay. But, what will I do if I’ve lost the ability to use the Keyblade for good…

    Day 94 — The Plan is Satisfactory, But… (Saïx?)
    Roxas and Xion both collect hearts using their Keyblades, and Kingdom Hearts appears larger before us. Our goal is being achieved. Every conceivable plan is satisfactory. I worry that it’s going too well, but, perhaps I’m just thinking too much.

    Day 95 — My Memories (Xion)
    Roxas and I don’t have memories from when we were human. Not only that, but I also don’t have memories of when I’d just become a Nobody either. Roxas said he doesn’t remember too well either, but, I really don’t remember much at all. I don’t really remember the day I met Roxas, or Axel…

    Day 96 — Friends (Axel)
    Xion’s become able to use the Keyblade. The cause is unknown. Maybe it’s connected to the secret hidden about ‘the Keyblade Hero’. It feels like lately I’ve been spending more time talking with Roxas and Xion than with my original comrade…Saix. That’s friendship, isn’t it?

    Day 97 — Listless (Demyx)
    Working every day is so boring. I want to take a holiday soon. It’s necessary for Nobodies to take a rest. Once I get a holiday, I’ll play my sitar all day long.

    Day 117 — Roxas and That Guy
    Roxas’ growth is remarkable. Making faces the spitting image of that guy, swinging the Keyblade in the exact same way. The worlds are scattered, and all are connected as one. The deeds from one’s time as a human follow them even when they become Nobodies. That’s how it is.

    Day 118 — The One Who’s Changed… (Axel)
    When I’m talking with Roxas and Xion, I remember my time as a human. Various memories of my childhood come back to me, and I get some kind of weird feeling. You’d think I could talk to Saix in the same way, but, weirdly enough I don’t feel like talking to him like that. It’s only a strangely fond thought. It’s not me who’s changed… it’s you.

    Day 119 — Hearts and Emotions (Xaldin?)
    Watching that foolish Beast, I really understand how humans are controlled by trifling things. Because we didn’t wish to be controlled by emotions, we chose to become nobodies. Realizing what a huge loss it is came a long time after. I understand that we cannot be without a heart, but emotions are unpleasant things.

    Day 149 — Pretending Like a Fake…
    That guy…that man who wore an Organization coat. I can’t defeat him as I am now. I am not a fake. He’s the one pretending like a fake…

    Day 150 — Disposing of Xion
    Is it because soon, the copy will reach its limits? I thought the plan was satisfactory, however, it’s a doll, after all…so of course, a hindrance has come. I absolutely cannot comprehend how this doll can weigh on Axel and Roxas’ minds. From now on, perhaps we should be thinking about how to dispose of Xion.

    Day 151 — Dreaming… (Xion)
    The truth is, I still didn’t want to meet Roxas. Because, I can’t help comparing myself to him. We both use the keyblade, but we are too different. Maybe Roxas doesn’t dream…lately, I’ve been dreaming nonstop. This morning I dreamed that I was drowning in the ocean.

    Day 152 — Like a Human
    It looks like Roxas and Xion had a fight. I think they had a fight about some trivial thing anyway, but their behaviour is just like a human. It’s out of tune. In the first place, it’s doubtful whether Roxas was able to comprehend the talk about the wrong switches. It’s unthinkable that Roxas comprehends the difference between men and women.

    Day 153 — A New Song! (lawl, Demyx)
    I finished a new song! Worrying about bad marks and ‘do your job, do your job’ is so annoying. There’s no way in hell I can beat monsters like that. Everyone has things they’re good at and things they’re bad at; think about that properly when you give missions!

    Day 171 — The ‘No.i’ Plan
    Xion failed a mission. If it looks like her condition will continue from now, we should destroy this doll, and make the next replica a more competent copy. We had concerns about “No.i”’s abilities from the beginning, her being from the first batch. In her current condition, it wouldn’t be a strange thing even to catch her broken down. I wonder what on earth Xemnas is thinking.

    Day 172 — The Words Meaning (Axel?)
    There should be another side to Saix’s words. Why doesn’t Xion qualify as a member of the Organization? Saix said ‘it’s as it looks’. By that is he talking about how she looks like Naminé? I can’t think there’s no connection between Xion and Naminé. Who’s nobody is Xion, in the first place? What is Saix hiding?

    Day 173 — Gamble (Luxord?)
    Sometimes, I get jealous of children. Maybe there’s some kind of fundamental difference between those who have become Nobodies since they became adults, and those who became Nobodies before they became adults. For those who have become adults, there are many things that they have bet and lost in just that part of life they lived. Children, however, can engage in the most daring games. Though, perhaps children don’t think ‘life is a gamble’.

    Day 174 – Only an Imitation
    Xion continues to sleep. Although various inspections on her functions were carried out, a special change has still not been felt. Though the copying seems to have been a success, it is a replica after all. Though I reported the content to Xemnas, he only smiled without giving a clear reply. Sometimes Xemnas’s actions cannot be understood.

    Day 193 — A Familiar Dream (Xion?)
    I finally opened my eyes, but I fainted again. I wonder why. Is it because I was made wrong? The whole time I was sleeping, I dreamed a familiar dream. I wonder why I can’t remember what the dream was about. But maybe they are important memories from the time I was a human. The one and only thing I remember is the sound of waves. I only remember being able to hear the gentle sound of waves, from far away.

    Day 194 — Replica (Axel?)
    I sure didn’t think I’d hear the word ‘replica’ again. Already holding a ‘self’ from the time it operated, the Riku Replica came close to the Original Riku with the fake memories planted by Naminé. Now, those guys from Castle Oblivion have been destroyed, and the only one in the Organization who knows that replicas hold their own ‘self’ should be me. My having not noticed it until now means that Xion is a very brilliant replica. However, questions still remain. Who on earth is Xion a replica of? And, why can she use the Keyblade?

    Day 224 — Xion (Axel?)
    Even if Xion is a replica or a doll, Xion is Xion. Even though I try to understand it like that, I don’t know how to deal with it. It was okay to make use of the Riku Replica. But, Xion is different. No, I don’t know if it was okay to have used the Riku Replica. How are Nobodies that don’t exist, and Xion, the created doll, different? Both have vague existences; that won’t change. And, we are best friends. That won’t change. We promised to go to the beach next time we got a break. It would be good to go to the beach together and have a human-like holiday. Watermelon or fried noodles. If we can laugh about little things, that worry will surely disappear.

    Day 225 – My Secret
    Every day it’s painful; my body is heavy, and my head hurts. I’ve been dreaming non-stop, as if I’m not sleeping. Axel surely knows something. I think Axel is probably hiding it. Castle Oblivion…surely my secret is there. Because I was born in that castle.

    Day 255 — The Final Stage
    I expect Xion’s appearance has come to look different in accordance with each relationship to her. Saix can’t see Xion as anything other than a doll. The plan is approaching the final stage. Through Roxas, Xion will copy the Hero reliably. The evidence is that sometimes I am starting to see him in Xion.

    Day 256 – Deflecting Appearance (Xigbar?)
    Xion’s stealing away from the Organization is interesting. If we can’t control her, that means Xion is approaching the hero more. Saix can’t “see” Xion. I’m curious in how the other members see Xion. As for me, I see that guy, but Xemnas probably sees something different.

    Day 257 – Card Results (Luxord)
    For some reason or another, the air feels alive. In most cases, you will lose if you make a bet at a time like this. However, it’s also a fact that there is a slight chance of winning big. I am deeply interested in how the results of the cards turn out.

    Day 276 – The Other Side of the Truth
    Starting tomorrow, I will look for Xion. Roxas knows nothing yet, but Xion has found out. Therefore I must find Xion. We do not have hearts. Therefore, we recognize that everything is only the facts that we are given. There’s something even more important on the other side of the truth.

    Saix would probably laugh and say it’s ridiculous that we, who don’t have hearts, could be friends, but there is no mistaking that we are. The nobody of the hero, and that nobody’s replica, Xion. Those two are special in every meaning of the word. Even so, we are best friends. Do you have it memorized? Xion.

    Day 277 – True Goal
    Axel and Roxas have begun to move about in a sneaky manner. Regardless of how they move about, the plan has already been branched and we are proceeding to the next step. The “No.i” plan and Replica plan are only the former stages of this project. Our true goal is in something else.

    Day 296 – Hidden Truth
    To begin with, no one completely grasps what there is in Castle Oblivion. There are even rooms that Xemnas does not grasp. There are few people who know Xion was born in that place. Will the day ever come when all the hidden truths of that place will be clear?

    Day 297 – Contact with Riku
    That man we could call an Organization member impersonator; it’s Riku. It would be no mystery if Roxas recalled that guy’s name from the bottom of his memory. However, it’s still too early to report. It’s not possible to inform until I know why Xion is with Riku. If she joins the heroes’ side, that itself may potentially mean Xion’s annihilation. What does Xion intend to do?

    Day 298 – Change of Plans (Saix?)
    Axel did not report the encounter between the Organization member impersonator and Xion. It was Roxas who reported it. Is it easier to deal with Roxas than Axel? Axel captured Xion and brought her back. It’s uncertain what on earth Axel is thinking. A change of plans is possible, but, it puts our goal further off.

    Day 299 – Consideration of a Lie (Axel)
    Roxas holds suspicions towards me about Xion. But I can’t tell the truth. I’m lying to Roxas. Nobodies without hearts are good liars. I don’t feel a thing, even when telling a lie. But now, it hurts me a little. All these things connected to Roxas create the illusion that I’m human.

    Day 300 – The Three’s Sunset (Xion)
    The three of us watched the sunset. I never thought we’d be able to watch the setting sun like that again. It’s like that dream, in which I watched the setting sun sink into the ocean with Roxas and Axel. I only want to be together with the two of them, but…what should I do?

    Day 301 – Xion or Roxas? (Axel)
    Xion is frantically completing missions. There’s no telling what her intentions are. I don’t know what I should have said to Roxas. Like Saix said, I’ll do anything in order to keep Roxas from being destroyed. But, I don’t know if it’s okay if Xion is destroyed.

    Day 321 — My Place (Xion)
    Axel is always helping me. That’s why it felt like he’d help me again. How long has Axel known about me? Maybe he already knew about me when we met in Castle Oblivion. Axel said to me to think for myself. I was really happy. But since then, my power has gotten much stronger. And so, Roxas’ power is surely getting weaker. Surely I’m not allowed to exist any longer. Who said that Nobodies aren’t allowed to exist? I’m the one who’s really not allowed to exist. But, you know, at the end, I want to be useful to Axel and Roxas, even just a little. The boy I saw today is probably the Sora in my memories.

    Day 322 – The Plan
    As long as we have a Keyblade Wielder under our control, it doesn’t matter one bit whether it’s a doll or the Hero’s nobody. If the doll grows so far, then even the “Keyblade Hero” is no longer necessary. If anything, isn’t it the case that we must not allow Sora to awaken? It is impossible to control him in our favour. Surely he’ll become a threat to us. Under this assumption I’ll further the plan.

    Day 352 — What I Ought To Do (Xion)
    Riku gave me this time. Axel was the one who told me to think. The Organization is clearly trying to get me to eliminate Roxas. Surely it can’t be excused that Roxas and I exist at the same time. I like Roxas and Axel. I think Saix would laugh at that thought, and say that these are fake emotions made from my memories. But, I liked the time I spent on top of the clock tower with Roxas and Axel. It’d be nice if the three of us could always be together. But, it’s gotta end already. I won’t forget today’s sunset, no matter what. Even if Roxas and Axel forget, I won’t.

    Day 353 – The Future That Doesn’t Exist
    I couldn’t say that Xion chose the wrong path. I cannot erase Xion. But, I have to erase Xion so that Roxas won’t be. There’s no longer a future where the three of us can laugh, eat ice cream. I know that Roxas can’t understand that. And I…wish I didn’t understand.

    Day 354 – The Place I Should Return To
    I wanted to meet Roxas one last time, but, I didn’t know what I should say to him, and so I couldn’t meet him. I wonder if I really existed properly. It’s all right not to exist. As long as it was real that we watched that setting sun, it’s all right. Surely Naminé will tell me how to return to my original place. I have to get going quickly.

    Day 355 – Purpose
    After half the members disappeared in Castle Oblivion, Xemnas’s plan generated disorder little by little. In hindsight, I’d say it was probably a success, though it really doesn’t appear to have been. If the great Kingdom Hearts has a will, it may reject Xemnas…no, Xehanort. Roxas left the Organization today.

    Day 356 — Happenings Outside What I Assumed (Saix)
    Things such as Roxas and Xion both pulling out of the Organization wasn’t part of our plan. Why did this happen? Roxas had become strong enough to knock me down. Lea, what did you want to do in the end? The plan we decided when the two of us joined the Organization together…no, that’s also already just a pipe dream. Everything has changed, hasn’t it? You, and me too…

    Day 357 — To My Best Friend (Axel)
    Roxas left…all he left behind was a “winner” stick, which was so like him. Anyway, maybe the order to bring him back will come even tomorrow, but for him to leave something like this, it’s really the end, isn’t it? Roxas, will the three of us again…? …No, the two of us. Let’s eat ice cream again. That’s what a best friend is.

    Day 358 – The Goal (Xemnas)
    Though it would be good if Roxas could be brought back, because Sora is the ‘Keyblade Hero’, even if he awakens, there’s nothing for him, but to continue releasing hearts like they have been until now. If we aim our forces at him, and capture Sora, it would be satisfactory if we could only utilize that power again. I must become one with Kingdom Hearts, and become a great being. For the sake of the real goal, which lies beyond that point.

    Since the Joke Weapon thread came about, I figured I should post the names of all the gears/weapons each member of the Organization obtain in Mission Mode that I found. Not done by me. I'll start with the name of their default weapon first (the one they always use, and their main one in the story) that will get marked with an "✖". Then their joke weapon. And then the others will follow. But other than that, keep in mind these are translated, and might change when the English version comes out.

    Personally, I love Larxene's, and this is me not being biased. They are all French (I'll put what they mean in English). I also love Luxord's. Tarot decks of the Major Arcana for the win. Marluxia's are a bunch of flowers.

    Xaldin's difficult, because it connects to a lot of things that you won't comprehend the names of or where they come from (that's actually for a lot of names here. Like Larxene's "Southern Cross" and Lexeaus's "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain", which is from Sun Tzu's Art of War). Xaldin suffers from Chinese and Sanskrit, in this case. Most especially with a Final Fantasy theme.

    I put them in a spoiler tag, since it's too long. Moving on:

    Rules:
    * No yaoi/yuri.
    * No God-Modding/Power-playing. You will be warned. Three strikes, and you're out, period.
    * You can play any character or OC. Limited is 3.
    * You’re all free to cuss, as long as you censor it with asterisks, or if you wish, in another type of form.
    Ex: F***, F*ck, etc.

    * The Royal Navy will want to get rid of the gold so no Pirates can attack any innocents anymore. So, they won't have powers. Not that Leon, Seifer, Riku, and Sora really need any, considering that their base is sword fighting, and what they do in the game all the time. Not much difference. Marluxia depends on the user, and how he obtained the Aztec gold.
    * Do NOT copy game arsenal/weapons for your OCs. This will Gunblades, etc.
    * Things are different here. The Organization won't have their Organization weapons, for example, Keyblades [in Roxas's case, he'll have two swords], tomahawk, etc. Weapons, since this takes place in a old setting, we'll have swords, axes, pistols, anything that pirates use to your knowledge. I'm sure you'll be able to replace the weapons with something similar, Xaldin can even still has his lances, just not decorated in the usual KH way [in other words, not purple, Nobody symbol, or anything] and can't be summoned. Just normal looking xD. Vexen, can have a normal shield, Zexion, whose weapon is a book, Luxord, since cards did exists as well. As long as they exist in that time period of piracy, then they are fine. To get what I mean;
    Ex: Saïx's normal looking Claymore - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claymore
    KH's Saïx Claymore - http://www.khinsider.com/info/saix.jpg
    > Which one is right? The normal looking one. I wonder why they call Saïx's weapon officially a claymore, though o.o. Hard to resemble a little bit.

    * Do NOT give the Organization members new powers that they don't have in canon in the game, especially since it's going to be different in this RP. However, you can have some daily, normal use, for example, Larxene using electricity to light up a bulb. In that kind of manner. ANYTHING else, if you wish it so, PM me or Serious.
    * Coming from that, make sure that when you put your OC profile, you put all the powers and skills that you are going to have for your character, in THERE. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to make up a new power along the way, so think wisely. If you want your powers to be kept private, once more, PM me or Serious.
    - Also, in the "Weakness" section of your profile, add something that is actually a weakness. Not this emotions thing unless it's like, "he gets so furious, that he loses his focus and tactics in battle", etc. Come on now, lol.
    - Only FOUR OCs are accepted for each pirate crew. Make sure you're one of the few first ones to grab the role.

    * The OCs who have power, are the ones who Saïx rarely gave the Aztec gold coins to [read the summary below]. Make sure you have one coin with you.
    - The only exception to this is Axel's crew, whose coins for your characters will be given by him in the RP when he rounds up his members.
    - If any of you have questions or are confused about the Aztec gold rules or anything in the RP, feel free to ask.

    * If you read the rules, say "Aye".
    * Need to know and be knowledgeable of the first movie, at least. If you don't want to watch the movie, Google :P.
    * Rating is PG 13+.

    SUMMARY
    Captain Axel Sparrow, had commanded the ship christened The Crimson Pearl, with his own selected crew. At one point, he had shared his bearings with them about hidden Aztec Gold coins, and this had caught first mate Saïx's interest, that he, and with the convinced crew, instigated mutiny, leaving Axel marooned on a island. The crew, now led by Saïx, found the treasure, but invested it and made sure to waste it carefully to certain people, if not at all. In the end, after some investigation once they went through "changes" of having supernatural powers, they discovered secrets of the Aztec. It came with specific rules and limitations: First, that to use these elements and powers, a gold coin must always be present with you. If it is lost, and not in your hold, powers are eradicated and gone until you have it back. Second, is that once the original owner of a gold coin passes it down purposely and willingly [meaning, not stolen, taken, or grabbed by someone else, has to hand it to them by his/her decision] to another being, all the power and ownership will then go to him or her. The only exception to this is if the original owner has more than one Aztec coin, and if so, can pass them down while keeping his own power, as long as he has at least one for himself or herself. Third, and the most dangerous, is that despite what it gives, it is also cursed, giving them a negative consequence if they misuse their powers: the more you use, the more your energy drains until you are powerless, until its final stages take away your senses [sight, hearing, etc.] and may die in the process. In blind rage at this, Saïx abandoned the treasure chest in Isla de la Muerte, only having the crew keep one coin each for safekeeping until it came the time to utilize in emergency if it came to it. They did not realize their mistake until months and months after, where they learn in their studies that despite the limitations, when all the Aztec gold is gathered, and the blood of a "diamond in the rough" is mixed, they will gain great power instead without any rules to hold them back, to the point where they become immortal. It left them wanting and aching for more in greed. Most especially Saïx, who wanted the whole missing pieces of Aztec gold to achieve it. They traveled back to Isla de la Muerte, where they left the treasure chest, only to find it gone. And leaving them to soullessly search. Axel's only supporter, Cloud “Silver Death” Strife, purposely passed down his only Aztec coin to his son, sacrificing his powers in the process, believing the crew should remain curse. Saïx, witnessing his betrayal, tied him to a cannon and had thrown him overboard.

    To the selected few they gave the coins to [OCs] and wasted it on, they also were, affected. Unfortunately, for Saïx, to gain his goal of ultimate power, he needs all the gold pieces he had given away, along with the owner's blood, this included his crew and whoever had taken the Aztec gold and obtained its contents, and gather it together in the chest along with this "diamond in the rough" they needed to look for to complete the ceremony. Also realizing that Cloud's blood is also needed to break the curse; a Strife kin must now take his place.

    And it will be a hard task to complete.

    Especially when a certain someone comes back and gets in the way…




    .::. ANOTHER SIDE, ANOTHER STORY .::.

    As Governor Ansem Reinholde, and his 9 year old daughter, Naminé, sail to Port Royal, Jamaica, their vessel, HMS Heartless, reach to a unknown shipwreck with only one sole survivor, a blond boy, around her age, floating among the wreckage. Naminé finds and hides a gold medallion she found around the unconscious Roxas's neck, scared and worried that he would be accused of piracy if he is searched through, and takes it as her own for the while. She then glances at a ghostly pirate ship that she spots moving away, disappearing into the mist.

    And now, eight years has passed since then.

    Okay, well! This is my first fanfiction that I ever posted here, and also the first time I ever done the characters in a Organization setting, which was difficult for me, since it's Axel baking a cake for Larxene. The theme was inspired by madammina, a member of another forum, for Larxel day, which is 12/8 [and I know is highly late for that one], she gave me the idea, and tried to figure out how to implement it that would...not be out of character xD. I also wanted it to be mild in terms of interpretation, and leave it to the readers about what characters were really thinking. Don't know how much I succeeded with that, I feel it came alright overall. It was met with good reviews, and I was encouraged to post it here, and, thus, there it is.

    You can also read it here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4709061/1/A_Cake_Just_For_You

    Hope you enjoy and like it, and any criticism, I'll gladly take, since I'm all for improving.




    ♦~♦~☼~♦~♦


    ~♥~ A Cake Just For You ~♥~


    ♦~♦~☼~♦~♦​



    When Larxene had walked into the kitchen, a section of the castle that mostly no one ever used (and no male here was able to cook anyway), she had expected to simply glide in, get to the refrigerator, take out a unopened bottle of water, and leave. Back to her sanctuary; her room.

    What she didn't expect was to almost slip on something that was on the floor, having to quickly balance herself as she held on to the edge of the entryway in surprise, and stared at what was the worst mess this kitchen had ever seen. And the culprit was standing by the stove, kicking the oven, and muttering a few choice words under his breath. As she studied the place when she was able to stand properly, she noted the whole area was covered in flour, thrown over the counters, on the floor [what she had slipped on], cracked egg shells here and there, some containers and measuring spoons and items strewn on different corners, and the kitchen smelled like it was in high fire before she came in, burnt. She wriggled her nose distastefully at the ash infested air, and settled her gaze on the redhead, who was throwing whatever crap he brewed up on the trash, worse for wear with white particles in his hair, face, and outfit just as much as the floor. It was odd how he did not catch her presence, as usually, it was quite normal to sense when one of them was about to portal in with the slight rift in the air.

    Her question was answered when she met deep, jade pools looking back at her, disinterested and blank. As she leaned on a vacant wall after she cautiously walked on the flour hazardous ground, she crossed her arms, their locked eyes playing a staring contest for a minute as she smirked in amusement, until Axel turned away and continued on what he was doing, not unsettled by seeing her there.

    "I'm not in the mood, Larxene."

    "Obviously. But has that ever stopped me?"

    "Silly me."

    He merely moved forward to the free table without saying much else, where a bowl, lined with many ingredients, were situated. She watched as he simply took a measuring cup, and picked up the bag of flour, pouring it in, specks of white flakes shooting and spreading throughout the atmosphere in fluffs, and she raised a eyebrow when he unknowingly let some spill. This was...a very disturbing sight. Axel baking. For no reason that she could come up with to make it sensible. He could barely cook a fried egg right without something going haywire in the process, and now he was proceeding with a big step in his lack of culinary skills? There was something off. This wasn't like him. Precisely, not in the time she's known him.

    Narrowing her eyes as he put the flour down, and threw it in the mixing bowl, he was about to go for the milk, until she began with, "What the hell are you doing?"

    "What the hell do you think I'm doing?"

    There we go, another set of familiar territory after the first one. That was proof for her that this was actually the real Axel, something she was questioning, and rightly so. She took the opportunity to saunter over to him, nestling next to his body casually as she eyed the concoction, not noticing the tension she formed by doing so. "That's exactly it. You're baking. What the hell are you doing?"

    He took a deep inhale of breath, apparently irritated by this point, and it was here Larxene noted a kind of exhaustion that she now saw up close, and it made her curious, needless to say. His green eyes appeared tired, and he carried himself as if he just wanted to lay down and lose himself to sleep any given second. However, Axel gave her a sharp glance, and she just blinked patiently. "What I'm doing is none of your business."

    The sentence came with a expression that specifically told her to go away.

    But, Larxene never really got it, as always. "I think it should be anyone's business if you're wrecking and may destroy the kitchen if you continue."

    "Nobody uses this kitchen."

    "Doesn't mean that no one can pass by for a bottle of water."

    "Then why don't you get your bottle of water?"

    "Because I stumbled upon a redhead who can't cook to save both his lives."

    "I thought you were the one who always manages to make charcoal."

    Larxene scowled, obviously not appreciating his insult on her cooking skills, because of just one incident when she was trying a new recipe, and it backfired with her first attempt. It didn't change the fact that she was the only who can conjure up a edible meal among this group. "That is called grasping at straws. I'm not the one who can't cook fried eggs."

    "And I'm not the one who, while better than the men, can't cook worth anything," he countered without much fervor to the banter, slipping off next to sink to get the already used wooden spoon, still laced with a previous mixture.

    "Which is a whole other level above you," Larxene retorted, not taking her eyes off of him, her hands on her hips now that she was getting slightly bored at his evasion on why he was really even baking. It wasn't like it was a hobby. "Either way, you mean to tell me you're doing this for yourself? Or does Roxas like treats?"

    The way she conveyed the line made Axel glare at her, while she smiled with saccharine sweetness in return. He decided to ignore her once more as he began to batter the mix, and the little "conversation" seemed to satisfy Larxene enough for her to move over to the refrigerator, knowing at this moment that he would not budge and the topic couldn't be continued. It was this along with the fact that it was losing her fascination fast. Stepping over the egg shells, she went to get the bottle of water she came in here for in the first place, rolling it in her hand as she closed the refrigerator door behind her. She gave Axel a last look as he kept working, rolling her eyes, wondering how he was to manage without a cookbook not even in hand, and headed out without another word in the careful manner she had inhabited after almost falling down. She was done for now, however, the zest of needing to know what was he doing didn't escape her.

    And it was when she was leaving, that she barely registered the tight, muttered words that reached her.

    "You'll find out soon."


    ♦~♦~☼~♦~♦​


    He, truthfully, did not understand why he was doing this. More so after the less than pleasant visit the woman provided him with. A part of him, after she finally left, wanted to just stop and throw away this idea that to him, was quite foolish to do, as he wasn't tied in giving her anything she didn't deserve. She was able to get under his skin, and it was at that standstill the he'd rather be left alone, and clear away from her presence completely, not having to deal with her endeavors, or have to bother to do so. Then, at other times, she was more proficient, and more easier to speak to, and these were the times where he was able to stay, and have a real exchange between them. It was the same to him, however, another way to pass the time, and with being a Nobody, things slid by him without much effort. So it was a right to ponder on why he was still here, baking a cake for her. The fourth attempt at baking a cake, that is. He knew part of it was a challenge made by Roxas, that suddenly took a turn from talking about a simple discussion of presents and how one would go about it in the usual clock tower, to him agreeing on a bet that he couldn't even recall how it escalated. The most vague statements he could pick up was that it did include Larxene, and how much she would be hard to please, in Roxas' opinion, as she seemed introverted. Then, he made a comment he shouldn't have, and now this is where he found himself. And Roxas was also waiting for the result, the little runt.

    Yet, it didn't connect on why he was trying so hard for the cake to at least look appealing. He had been up since late morning, and had gone over multiple bags of flour, and other necessities, that he picked up today from a store after him and Roxas finished their sea salt ice cream (a tradition that had made itself permanent since he had first met him on that fateful day). He was tired after moving around and going through three stabs at making the vanilla layer, when he should've settled for the first burned and hard one, and hand it to her. He really doubted her reaction will be any different at whichever outcome. The only part that he succeeded in was making the chocolate cake, safe and placed in a corner that did not catch Larxene's sight when she had come in. His plan, was, that he was to make a vanilla and chocolate two layered cake, with strawberry icing coated around, and in the middle gap. The three basic flavors. He didn't know how the trio would taste in one, but it had been so long that he was encased in this kitchen, that he'd rather take the chance. And this was what had him confused; the energy he was exerting into this when it really was nothing.

    In the end, nevertheless, he placed it in the back of his head, thinking that it was a need to gain the triumph of impressing the "hard to please" Larxene, and getting Roxas to earn his loss by it. In fact, when he told the girl purposely as she was leaving that she'll find out soon, it would keep her guessing until the time came, making it much worthwhile, and liable for a better reaction. Or so he thought.

    It didn't take long until the new blend was placed in the circular pan, and put inside what would be his last struggle in the oven. Dusting off his hands, he sighed, and pulled up the only chair to the table to sit on, resting his head on his palm lazily as he waited for the designated hour when he could finish.


    ♦~♦~☼~♦~♦​


    "You think it's right for me to actually spy, without her noticing?"

    "Just trust me, it's me who you're talking about, you know. Got it memorized?"

    Roxas slapped away the hand that repeatedly poked his forehead in turn, sending a slight annoyed glance at the chuckling redheaded man, who had come to be so different to the rest who he had slowly gotten to know. It was something...he had yet to fully comprehend. A friendship...between beings who cannot feel. Was that really possible? The lingering and forceful issue came at times when he was not certain, or maybe, perhaps, it was just something he couldn't grasp. Shaking his head slightly, not wanting the burden to fall on him now, he thought back on what got him to walk side by side with his...best friend, as they were reaching Larxene's room. He was what he would call surprised when Axel showed up, holding the prepared cake in front of his blue eyes, a smirk etched on his face. It was there he suggested, seemingly confident, though as a Nobody, they couldn't feel as such, that he should witness the meeting and the delivery.

    In truth, he didn't predict that Axel would have taken the whole bet seriously. Or even going through with it. And, the cake looking like...it can be good. Axel even made a final touch by having her name handwritten with red, gel icing very neatly, along with the words, "a cake just for you", that he dubbed to be a "professional finality". Roxas didn't think Larxene will be too fond of the pink, but she also didn't feel as a picky woman to care much about frosting, and he did deem the letters kind of dainty, almost sounding quite romantically cute in his view, if he didn't know better. That was the point of Axel's joke, from what he was told by him. His friend also didn't go out of his way to clean himself up, so he, while a bit faded after a while, was flour clad from head to toe still, and there was even spots of the cake mix around him. Not presentable, but again, Larxene felt as the girl who couldn't care for something so trivial. He had only ran into her himself just few a times, and it wasn't meetings that would truly get him to know her better, other than making a first impression to being highly haughty, and a bit overbearing. Yet, that was the worst of the matter, because otherwise, she didn't seem so bad. To him, at best. And it told a lot when he was the number below her.

    He stopped as his friend's footsteps halted, and he looked up to see that they were at her door. It was there that Axel gave him a gesture that he should go to the corner to hide as planned, since it wouldn't do good for Larxene to spot him. As he watched the kid give him a nod with a grin on his face, and quickly take his residence at the left turn to be unseen, and far off enough for his presence not to be known, the redhead focused back on the task at hand. It took awhile for him to do anything, as he just stared at the surface of the door, doubts sprouting on whether this was actually a great idea. He could scarcely see himself ever hesitating, yet, here he was, doing so. It was for logical reason that he wouldn't be too sure, as the whole thing seemed pretty ridiculous to do. The last thing he wanted was to face Larxene's teases about this, and make it unbearable for the few days after. What got him to finally knock was the thought of Roxas as the onlooker, and he slid the cake on his back as he stood there until she came to open the door for him. That was another thing. Him going to her private quarter was rare.

    It didn't take long, as her blonde head revealed itself in the entry, pulling the door when she spotted him there, her eyebrows together in what was confusion immediately, especially at his floured up appearance. There was a moment where they remained silent, and just explored the other intently as if waiting for one to move, until Larxene got distracted, aware that there was a certain person missing. When he saw that she was turning her glance to the side in the hall where Roxas would be cozily covered, he exposed the handmade cake he had worked on close to her face, seeing as that was the right time to divert her concentration on him.

    And thus, began the awkwardness.

    He didn't say or do anything as her aquatic eyes traced the pink product, a bit enthralled at the shimmers that crossed over them and her expression, ranging from being quite lost, to then shocked, and back to puzzlement, before it ended with her staring down the cake suspiciously. Axel never really took in much about people's words of her being a woman of strong emotions, even as a Nobody, until now, and somehow, he wished he could do what she just did. Could he? He thought so. She made it possible, and she was a Nobody like him. Either way, the mood got thick and soundless as the clock ticked on, Larxene not speaking a word as her thoughts processed, putting their earlier run in and what this meant in realization.

    "What is this?" she asked in a rigid tone at long last, the one breaking the noiseless ambiance that surrounded them both, yet sounding as if this was some kind of sick joke.

    "Read the words, darling."

    She gave him a nasty glance, not amused. "I read what it said, darling. Why?"

    He didn't get why would this get her in such a attitude, but he just shrugged indifferently. "There's no reason 'why', really, just that I made it for you."

    She scoffed in disbelief. "It's probably poisoned."

    "Now, I don't work that way," he corrected idly as a fox-like smirk reentered his face, still holding out the cake for her, despite that his arms were protesting.

    "Axel. You've got to be kidding if you expect me to accept that you worked all that time in that kitchen, slaved over, and put all this trouble for making a cake for me from the goodness of your little Heart," she sniped arrogantly, short and with the last word coming out bitterly, and so laughable, that there was a short-lived paused. Short-lived because it didn't take long for her to continue. "I know you were here with Roxas."

    This didn't faze him, even when a sound of a slight gasp came from the corner, Roxas apparently overhearing, and giving himself away even more. Inwardly twitching at the lack of tact in part of his best friend, he responded to Larxene unconcerned. "And I was. And he is hiding just over there." It was pointless to keep playing ignorance when she knew. "And rightly because it was his idea, and I made it happen with some slight force. You don't have to take it or eat it, but acknowledge the fact that I worked for it."

    "I don't have to acknowledge anything you do if I don't want to," Larxene snapped, her body stiff as her eyes ignited, impaling them into slits at him without holding back that she wasn't really "content" at this turn out. There was another round minutes of silence, something that was becoming constant with the two, before she simply snatched the cake that was in the plate roughly into her own hands, and opened the door more ajar as a sign to come inside.

    Axel followed without much thought, despite questioning the sudden invitation, and shut the door behind him, the whole Roxas "spying" on them going down the drain, and for a moment, he swore he heard a huffed shout of "Hey!". He just shrugged apathetically, knowing the male blond will hear everything from him sooner or later.

    With or without ever being in Larxene's room, it wasn't contrasting compared to his, if at all; the same pale color with the same gray markings striking across the walls, floors, and ceiling, and everything, even the tables, or side tables, and desks, the exact, empty, shade. Boring, just like the very castle. The bed was no exception, minus that the headboard had the Nobody symbol engraved in black, and so he took his vision to Larxene, who placed the cake on a desk in the far corner, that, coincidentally, had two chairs prepared. It appeared they were communicating silently as well on top of their reactions just a few seconds ago, as she had comfortably sat down in one, and without permission, as he didn't need one, he stepped up, and he seated himself as well. The ache that overcame him, and the relief of his body inactive and laying on anything, told that he was yet to heal from the trials he had gone through to make a cake.

    As his eyes traced her, none of them said anything once more, for what was the, fourth or fifth time? He didn't know. All she did was lick her rose colored lips, and went into a pensive phase where she just shifted her gaze from him to the cake, her face bored, and yet, skeptical. After a moment of arriving at a resolve, she reached out her hand to pick up the knife that he had placed on top of napkins to cut the cake up when the time came, and he kept his attention on how she leisurely began slicing a piece elegantly...and he wasn't sure where this was going.

    "How nice. Didn't bother to bring a extra plate."

    "I was built with two hands, so I apologize if it seems very low for your standards," was what he merely responded with sardonically, knowing that with Roxas, he could've brought extra plates with him. He just didn't feel like mentioning it, and begin a argument that didn't need to begin.

    "Since when was a remark suppose to reflect that I have high standards?" Larxene asked with a sort of deadly sugary venom that was hard to miss as she cut another slice of cake with a more hardened manner, gracefulness lost, and it seemed Axel hit a nerve that he never intended to when she hissed, "I know everything about low standards, Axel. You have no damn idea."

    He wisely didn't comment on that, and she took it upon herself to motion him to take one of the two slices, in which he just stared at her with a stern countenance. "I told you it's not poisoned."

    "Did I say it was?"

    "It was surely hinted at. Oh no, no, you outright stated it."

    "Well, I'm not going to eat this alone, is all," Larxene said as she took off her black gloves, making the purpose clear, as she wasn't going to eat this alone. If she was going to taste this, so will he, if he hadn't already. With any common sense he should have done so, considering that it would be a grave mistake that he didn't check how exactly the flavor came out as.

    Meanwhile, Axel didn't know why she was buying time, or making what would be a simple second action be so difficult, especially as he wanted for her to try the baked good to see the aftermath, and end it all. To admit, he was anticipating what she will think, considering he did more labor than he was truly ever suppose to. Not that he was asked or it was needed for the cake to be perfect, but...maybe it was him heading to prove himself. Yet, then to who? To her? That he can have some cooking or baking skills at his disposable? It wasn't even much of importance to Nobodies. And the reasons he had given himself before, which he perceived to be logical, were starting to be torn down, more so because he really didn't know how the cake was going to be, and whether she will praise his new knowledge of baking or reject it. Letting out of breath, he was physically stressed, and this was too much trouble, and a meaningless one, to be confused over, or even to question anything that wouldn't really affect him in the long run. This was a cake. This was Larxene. And he was waiting for her to put the said cake in her mouth.

    What a pain this is...

    This was all Roxas's fault.

    "Here."

    Getting reeled back out of his tangled mind, he found Larxene offering the second slice that he didn't get as was asked of him, while the other was in her left hand. And she wasn't even gazing at him in all, but at the creation, almost as if this was about explode with a hidden time bomb that he had put in there to blow her head off. That was quite the image. She raised her eyes up to give him a "look".

    He sent her a blank stare at what was going through her head now about the gift he brought her, or whatever it was to be called. Nonetheless, he took off his gloves as well, knowing that him not eating the piece would only delay this more. "What?"

    "Vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry..." she recited mockingly in such a forced wonder as she turned the slice, and Axel rolled his eyes to the side slightly. "Looks okay in the outside. What kind of mix...?"

    "It was done on a whim. Besides, I doubt I may be the only one who has done this type of combination," Axel refuted, his lips setting into a thin line, though he, finally, took the slice of cake that was held for him the same way he had held out the full cake to her by the door. Their hands touched, fingers brushing slightly together, and he blinked as he didn't move. It wasn't that he felt anything, contrary to what it was usually pictured as. It was that, with the friction, it reminded him that it had been a long while since he had freely stroke anyone's skin but his own without the gloves getting in the way. It was sort of unnatural and bizarre to him, and that Larxene actually had smooth, almost silky hands that appeared as if they had never seen the light of combat, which was guile and ironic to every sense. Then again, everything about Larxene's appearance was ironic, now that he thought about it. If he didn't know her or met her personally, he wouldn't think her the savage and merciless person she can become with big, wide, blue eyes, and a overall outward innocence.

    If she knew how to use this advantage, she could fool anyone.

    When he noticed that she was raising a inquiring, bemused eyebrow at him because of his hand still on hers far longer than need be, with something else he couldn't read flashing across her face, he quickly grabbed the slice and took it, breaking that small connection that he didn't mean to commit, and he scrunched his own eyebrows together in displeasure when the frosting was spreading over his palm as he held unto it. Larxene had double the problem, but all she did was lick them off, seemingly enjoying the strawberry tang. One positive point? "Good?"

    "The icing? Yeah, I like strawberry," Larxene mumbled dismissively.

    Definitely one point. Now all she needed to say was that she liked chocolate and vanilla, and he might slide through this, and show-off to Roxas the astounding upshot, since the kid was doubting him.

    "Ready?"

    Axel looked at her to see that she was holding his cuisine close to her mouth, biding from nibbling it until he did the same. He took her lead, not seeing the point of making it a hassle, and when they both positioned their respective share of the treat, they locked each other in skeptical gazes, as if to predict the other's motion like children who were watchful if they will really eat it or not, the old trick. He would've thought it funny, really. But they still had that unknown, silent communication, and they did not shift their eyes when both ended up taking a bite out of the cake, taking in the two layers, and chewing it warily.

    Then, they stopped, especially when Larxene felt something crunch under her teeth that felt suspiciously like a egg shell...and it was proven when she tasted some sort of dried egg yolk, and some other extras that she didn't think were supposed to be in a cake. The vanilla, or what was dubbed to be the vanilla layer, was pasty and tasteless, and she felt like she was biting on taffy, and the "chocolate' wasn't what she would really call chocolate. It was...spicy? Her stomach churned in protest, or what she believed it was, and the whole thing together made her feel quite sick. Axel was experiencing the same thing as he slowed down his munching, a unpleasant and tight expression appearing as he tried to keep it inside his mouth. It was another one of those pauses as their distorted faces eyed one another...

    It didn't take long before both grabbed napkins from the plate, and took whatever the hell they were eating out of their mouths in gags, wrapping it and enclosing it in the paper, and trying to get the aftertaste off their tongues, coughing. Larxene shot her hand straight to the halfway done water bottle in her desk, something that Axel didn't spot before due to focusing on the cake too much. He frowned, wanting some, to get that...horrible savor out of his system. As she chugged down the liquid enough to compose herself, letting out a refreshing sigh, he reached for it, only to have it pulled away from him, her eyes flaring accusingly. "That WAS poison!"

    "It wasn't! It was...well, I...it was just..." he fumbled as he tried to unsuccessfully explain himself unceremoniously, not knowing what went wrong when he was making the thing. This wasn't what he was hoping for...

    It was then he heard laughing...her laughing, her out of this world laughing as she found the whole scenario hilarious, and was chuckling and giggling to her delight. It wasn't exactly like times before, when she was doing so to grate someone's patience with her, but she was genuinely laughing, muttering things about his hard work, how tired he was over this, only for it to end awful and pointless. But she was always able to laugh, and what shocked him, and he will use the term loosely, was that he found himself laughing as well for some inane reason, something harboring in his chest that he wasn't suppose to have. Even if it was faint and weak, and not real, he was making fun of his misfortune too, finding it absurd, especially with his actions that occurred from buying the ingredients to this point in time.

    "That was terrible!" she breathed, trying to gain back some control. "Great job."

    Axel snickered. "It wasn't as worse as the fried eggs though."

    The whole thing befuddled him so much that he covered his mouth, halting the mirth that was coming out of him immediately. It wasn't that he hadn't done it before, but it was becoming real, for lack of a better word, to him lately as he kept hanging out with Roxas. Yet, the laughing hadn't reached to this degree, and he would've thought this would happen when he was in the company of his best friend, not Larxene; that was what perhaps perturbed him the most. It was also quite amazing how he didn't portray anything revolving negativity at his utter failure either. Maybe it was easier for him to take that way...

    She seemed to stop her field day when the air got stagnant, and she shook her head, a fake sympathetic smile on her face. "What...what...I mean, spice, Axel?"

    He raised his hands in uncaring defeat. "I thought it was cocoa powder. Give me a break."

    Larxene placed a finger on her chin. "I think the only good thing that came out of this was the strawberry icing."

    "And that's because I thankfully bought it."

    At the comment, Larxene took the moment to study him rather keenly as the room swiveled into a different environment, thinking that he was taking this, with her taunting and joining in on it, rather well, considering he did appear overworked. "And you don't care at all and aren't disappointed?"

    He just shrugged, a notion he was doing more than usual. "It's not like I can care or be disappointed, right?"

    "I guess. But you did laugh..."

    The mood slithered into silence, this time, a bit uncomfortable, but it couldn't sway Axel anymore after the multiple mutes that had covered them in the half hour, or what he guessed it to be. And there really wasn't anything else to say on the matter at hand. He wasn't going to deny laughing, and it was a act that couldn't be explained anyway, so it should be left alone. The cake didn't came out right, and that was acceptable, as, while he was quite convinced that he did more of a good job, he didn't think it was ever really going to be perfection, which was what he was aiming for. Close to it would've been fine. Or in even in the far middle. However, he did have enough of this stillness with them halting their conversations this way, and for once, he was the one to break it, admitting, "It was nasty..."

    "But I admit, I liked it."

    He gave her a flat stare.

    Really, who was she fooling?

    She took it in stride, as if knowing the reaction that would come when she recited this out loud to him. She was technically quite truthful in her compliment. He couldn't care or be disappointed after all, so she shouldn't opt to make him feel better by lying, correct? "It was the worst thing I tasted, don't get me wrong..." Since being blunt was a part of who she is, it didn't impact Axel from giving her that aura of not believing anything that was coming out of her mouth. "I never say this, and I can get why you're looking at me that way, but I liked it."

    He snorted. "What? It's the thought that counts?"

    She tilted her head, a devious smirk forming, saying charmingly, "Well, no. But, what else would you expect when someone makes a cake just for me?"

    Another typical sense of quietude went between them when he calculated her as she redesigned the quote etched on top of the frosting back to him, searching for any hints to decipher if she was truthfully up to something, or if this was just one of her games that she was known for to quench the amusement that wasn't suppose to exist. But, all she had was that smirk, a well-knowing one, and he couldn't spot any traces of anything amiss, so he just concluded to let her say what she needed to, if she wasn't done. This didn't sound like her...but it wasn't like he truly knew her at all when it came down to it.

    "It was a horrible cake," she recapped smoothly, as if it was fact, which it was, taking a swipe of the strawberry coat with her index finger, and sweeping it into her mouth when she handed him the bottle of water, her quivering eyes deeply and sternly rapt into his own, no sign of dishonesty and deceit. And something within it made him feel like it was alright. Even just a little. "But it's the best cake I've ever had."

    He took it as her odd way of saying thank you.

    Yeah. The title probably caught your eye, didn't it? xD


    Is been something that I have been noticing lately, that, while rare, some people appear to believe that they are incest because of the way they were both born, or to somehow represent it, Roxas being Sora's Nobody, and Naminé by fate coming from both him and Kairi.

    In my opinion, they are not, and this is not because I like them. For first thing, in dictionary terms, incest is to "Sexual relations between persons who are so closely related that their marriage is illegal or forbidden by custom", or even "The statutory crime of sexual relations with such a near relative". Of course, this is also based on perception, and different views of the matter, but usually it's become a taboo because of the blood relation mostly. KH wise, other than having Sora in common, I don't see them as twins, or at anything else other a origin that does not truly tie them together. For example, I doubt they have each other's blood, if they even have any, or the same skin, or the same DNA. It is also, with the Report, I believe that Naminé doesn't have Sora's body, or any sort, but rather, simply used him as a reference, like a coding, to make it simple, not that she truly is made from him. She's more related to Kairi, in this way, and why she took the form of a girl, with a female body.

    It'll also be awkward and odd, because, they do return back into Sora and Kairi, and if those two ever really hook-up...

    So is with this, that I thought it would be a worthwhile discussion, and to ask what are your opinions on the topic. Other than Sora and Kairi, they are the most paired with, so I thought it interesting.

    ****************



    KH: High Times At Twilight High

    Theme Song:


    Rules:

    * No yaoi/yuri.
    * No God-Moding
    * You can play any KH/FF character or OC. Limited is 3.
    * You’re all free to cuss, as long as you censor it with asterisks, or if you wish, in another type of form.
    Ex: F***, F*ck, etc.

    * The characters have their powers, though they’re not Nobodies. For that reason, they CAN'T portal or transport. Only RIKU can because he has the power of darkness originally without having to be a Nobody. If your OC has it, it is allowed.
    - Is against school rules to use them though.
    - You can't portal out of the school and in, since the building has censors all around, and once it sets off, they will catch you. Due for not sneaking out, or breaking rules.

    * Don’t whine about the roles. Is just a title.
    * Keep it PG 13 (we don’t want to scar anyone, thank you xP)
    * Let your imagination run free (though not that free *narrows eyes*). You can also do teen issues that happen in high school, if you want. Just don’t get overboard.

    School:

    Uniforms
    Boys -- White dress shirt (long/short sleeve), black tie, black pants, and black dress shoe or moccasins.
    Girls -- White blouse (long/short sleeve), gray tie, black, gray, and white plaid skirt, gray knee high socks, black dress shoes, Mary-Janes, or moccasins (like Kairi’s in KH2).

    * (You do with the uniform as you wish aslong as they wear them, as they don't follow the Uniform Code xP. Like I can make my character wear sneakers or make them have a loose tie, etc. Also, the numbers next to the character slots are their ages and years)

    Story: In the bustling, small metropolis called Twilight Town, there are only three school buildings in its vicinity, as well as a daycare for the little ones. The first, is Twilight Elementary, housing students from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. The second, is the most prestigious and famous Twilight University, where high school graduates are all welcomed, yet can choose to move away to another college of their liking. And then, there’s the building stuck in between, the ever christened “hell hole” called…High School. Don’t be fooled by its huge size, its Greek architecture, and clean walls, floors, and halls, or the fact that they have their own football, as well as soccer, baseball, and tennis fields.

    Despite it aristocratic appearance, the gifted people inside are anything but. Clique, rivalries, fights, divisions, problems, backstabbing, rumors, forbidden romances, all packed within the social hierarchy. Let it begin.

    Welcome to Twilight High.

    Poll, on who you’re a fan girl of, AND, who’s the hottest original KH guy character (that‘s why Hayner and Pence are there -_-. They need love...). Mind you, I only put those that all fangirls [​IMG] over. It will be nice if you girls state why, but is otherwise the freedom to squeal nonstop. I placed it multiple choice (and wait to see which bishie gets the higher bar :D). I think you can guess mine.

    I put Roxas and Ven together because they practically are the same. If Roxas didn't look like Ven in KH2, he sure as hell is his twin in FM+. So thur.

    Vote away! :3 I don’t know if it belongs here, or in the Spam Zone/Playground, so please move if necessary.

    What the question asks? Can they? I've been debating this with myself lately, and I'm curious at to what others had to say. In KH, we never see them bleed, though I think is because of the ratings.

    Think of it this way: How come Roxas and Axel eat sea-salt ice cream if they're made of 'nothing'?
    - Also, in the novel (written), when Saïx critically hurts Axel the translation goes as his ribs, RIBS, hurt, is in pain, or something along those lines.

    This just makes things more confusing. I mean, if they can have the ability to think, and you need a brain to that, to breathe, you need lungs, to eat, you need a stomach, to walk, you need bones. I don't know how those things can come into fruition without blood, where is perhaps the most necessary part of the body as it drives everything. The humanoid Nobodies wouldn't have been able to live.

    Now, the much lower Nobobies, are easy to throw because their bodies bend and move in unusual ways, like if they have no bones, and have no sense of will of their own or mind, being used as drones of the higher species (Org.), and just thrive on desire. They can be controlled. They're more like creatures, than the Nobodies like Axel.... the whole Org. XIII is basically special, since they were born with powers and abilities, and a human form.

    And about the heart, you're talking about pink glowing ones that rise up to gather in a heart-shaped moon. If you think a person needs the pumping of red liquid from that pinkish surreal heart, then I'm sure there can blood. I think the whole "heart" is more metaphorical than it being the actual organ. I mean, what came out of Sora was a starry, shining thing, along with all the Princesses Of Heart in KH1.

    Or simply, is Nomura full of contradicitons?

    I was really bored, and I came up with this when watching a teen drama show. I had this idea for a long time, and it wasn’t until now that I decided to put it as a my first RP. I thought it was worth a try, and I was bored, so…xP.

    We’re going to star with Xemnas announcing the return back to school, so I hope someone takes him soon.

    *READ THE RULES BEFORE JOINING*

    KH: High Times At Twilight High

    Theme Song : KH - High School Never Ends

    Rules:

    * No yaoi/yuri.
    * No God-Moding
    * You can play any KH/FF character or OC. Limited is 3.
    * You’re all free to cuss, as long as you censor it with asterisks, or if you wish, in another type of form.
    Ex: F***, F*ck, etc.

    * The characters have their powers, though they’re not Nobodies. For that reason, they CAN'T portal or transport. Only RIKU can because he has the power of darkness originally without having to be a Nobody. If your OC has it, it is allowed.
    - Is against school rules to use them though.
    - You can't portal out of the school and in, since the building has censors all around, and once it sets off, they will catch you. Due for not sneaking out, or breaking rules.

    * Don’t whine about the roles. Is just a title.
    * Keep it PG 13 (we don’t want to scar anyone, thank you xP)
    * Let your imagination run free (though not that free *narrows eyes*). You can also do teen issues that happen in high school, if you want. Just don’t get overboard.

    School:

    Uniforms
    Boys -- White dress shirt (long/short sleeve), black tie, black pants, and black dress shoe or moccasins.
    Girls -- White blouse (long/short sleeve), gray tie, black, gray, and white plaid skirt, gray knee high socks, black dress shoes, Mary-Janes, or moccasins (like Kairi’s in KH2).

    * (You do with the uniform as you wish aslong as they wear them, as they don't follow the Uniform Code xP. Like I can make my character wear sneakers or make them have a loose tie, etc. Also, the numbers next to the character slots are their ages and years)

    Story: In the bustling, small metropolis called Twilight Town, there are only three school buildings in its vicinity, as well as a daycare for the little ones. The first, is Twilight Elementary, housing students from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. The second, is the most prestigious and famous Twilight University, where high school graduates are all welcomed, yet can choose to move away to another college of their liking. And then, there’s the building stuck in between, the ever christened “hell hole” called…High School. Don’t be fooled by its huge size, its Greek architecture, and clean walls, floors, and halls, or the fact that they have their own football, as well as soccer, baseball, and tennis fields.

    Despite it aristocratic appearance, the gifted people inside are anything but. Clique, rivalries, fights, divisions, problems, backstabbing, rumors, forbidden romances, all packed within the social hierarchy. Let it begin.

    Welcome to Twilight High.
