Xigbar loved to toy with the kid like he was a small animal. It was enjoyable to see him squirm and especially when Xion was involved. "Oh you mean poppet? You're just going to have to wait and see," he acted all causal like nothing was wrong, but indeed there was and it was starring at Roxas clear in the face in the form of a card. Xigbar knew what Luxord had accomplished and it seemed that their plan was going to go full circle. "Yep, I'll let all that sink in before you answer kiddo." He glanced at Luxord and sent him a sinister grin and a thumbs up with his left hand. "Yeah she can die for all I care," he glared at Larxene and left with Leon for he was concerned about Tifa especically. Something didn't seem right to him and he had this strange feeling that he needed to get back in case there was trouble. Exiting the building and leaving Larxene in the lurch, he walked towards Demyx and then stopped to tell him something. "I'm going back where Tifa and Xion are with Leon. That's where you'll find me," he placed his arm on his shoulder and then released his hold and led the way for Leon to follow him. Demyx felt the sensation from his shoulder and nodded understanding what he meant. Watching Cloud leave with Leon he turned his attention back to Axel to answer his question. "Of course I'm with you. Don't ever think for a second that I'm not man. The question is are you all right meaning with Roxas and Xion having a baby and all? Maybe we should go check on them too?" He looked in the direction to the west and then looked back at the flurry of dancing flames.
Nodding his head, he went on ahead for he knew she would catch up with them. If the boss wanted to meet with them again, then he would surely have to go to the same place and hopefully this time not be bored out of his mind. Disappearing into Where Nothing Gathers, Demyx saw Saix on one side of him and then Axel and Luxord, the familar faces he knew. Getting to know the newer members was no easy task. Shrugging his shoulders, he once again sloched in his seat, a look of boredom on his face. "So are we leaving or having another lecture?" He leaned his chin in the palm of his right hand. All Cloud could do was wait for Demyx's return and hopefully it would be soon. Angel was getting restless and entertained himself with a piece of string that Cloud held in his hand and drug across the room.
Demyx was still in shock not understanding any bit of the information he was hearing from the boss. How could he be acting like a nice guy? Did he have a concussion or was there something else? Sighing he watched Saix depart without saying as much a single word. How come he was always the last to find out about everything that happened in the organization? Groaning to himself, he shook his head trying to think of what he could do to help the situation. "No it's not that. It's just that well normally you're not all like you're being to me or the others. I don't know what happened to you? How do I know you're not trying to play a trick on me? I just don't know what to expect anymore."
"Not again!" Demyx uncovered his hands from his face and whined. "He's confusing me. First he acts all nice and then he yells and threatens and then he becomes all generous and understanding after I whacked him across his head with my sitar." He curled his fingers and placed them just below his lower lip. "What is going on with him?" He asked Saix and Xigbar.
"Thanks man," he replied after a grunt for his back struck the back of his throne harshly. "Ow," he groaned rubbing the area that ached. "The boss has been acting really weird lately," he averted his gaze to Xigbar. "I mean super strange. I could of sworn he was an imposter which is why I whacked him with my sitar and now regret it," he placed his face in both of his hands and shook his head back and forth. "Aw man I'm so busted."
"Yeah of course I do," he stood looking down at her in a friendly way. "You and I must be the only ones that do," he placed his hand behind his head. "So you play the violin? I play the sitar," he continued the conversation. "You could say it's my pride and joy, my everything," he chuckled lightly. "I can tell you more about music along the way if you want, but we both have to get to where the boss is before he gives us a threat," he warned her, a hint of worry in his eyes.
(OOC: That's fine.) "Woah you almost hit me," he called out and continued to try to pull himself up. "You shot the boss's throne instead," gripping Xemnas's ankles he hung there as if he was chained to a wall. the legs being the only support and sanctuary he had from striking the ground below. Hearing what Saix said he kind of pouted not liking that comment at all. "I wasn't a traitor or a threat like the others were now was I?" If only he had the upper body strength Xaldin possessed he would get out of this predicament
Grinning from ear to ear, he waved his hand in an nonchalant manner. "Nah don't worry about it. I'm a musician myself and I can tell unlike the others that you really enjoy what you do." He walked closer to her noticing her wings drooping. Reaching out to touch one, his gloved hand slowly felt the structure of it. "Oh those are neat. Must be cool to fly like a bird huh?" Now Demyx could levitate and ride water which was like a sensation of flying, but to actually experience like that of a bird would be downright neat.
Cloud threw up his arms in exasperation. "Geez, nevermind," he placed one on his forehead as a small headache was occuring. "Ah! It is you!" He screamed in fright and nearly fell off Xemnas's throne, before handing the ipod to Xemnas for the song of his choice. Now hanging on with both arms on the armrest, he attempted to pull himself up, but his body would not muster the strength he needed. Slipping he tried again only to this time fall off and head towards the ground below. Luckily his arms caught Xemnas's ankles where he hung from them. Panting and trying to catch his breath he gazed down at the long drop below, his body becoming tense and shaking all over with fear of falling.
Cloud shook his head at Cid's reaction and blew some of his hair with his mouth sighing at what he saw and heard. "A plan anyone?" "Yeah let me check, and..." Demyx's mouth dropped open, so wide one could stuff a whole muffin into it. He closed his mouth after five seconds had gone by and was more confused than ever. "Uh, you're not the boss," his eyes became wide and he nearly bit his lower lip. "You're an imposter!" Being the confused nobody he was, he warped from his throne and was now standing on the armrest of Xemnas's throne, with his sitar held over his head. "Nice trick Sora. I didn't know you could disguise yourself too. Trying to fool me with being the Superior. Hah! We'll see about that." With one twirl of his hand and the sitar now in it, he clashed the boss on top of the head and stood up with a smirk on his face. "Not so tough are you now huh brat," he laughed still assuming that Xemnas was Sora in disgusie.
(OOC: This is going to be fun. xD) "Cid I can't hear myself think," Cloud became aggitated and stood up ready to stop the older man from freaking out. Luckily Merlin had already told Cid to calm down. "We'll get through this. Keep a level head." "Huh?" He stopped for a minute looking up at the boss. "Please? Right," he rolled his eyes knowing the boss he knew never said please in a poliet tone. In fact, the water mage acknwoledged that he never heard the word "please" utter from Xemnas's lips. A crafty smirk and mischievious gleam shone in his eyes. "Oh did you say something?" He covered his hand with his mouth and begin to chuckle. Making things worse and to test this theory of impulse, Demyx brought out an ipod that he found in Radiant Garden awhile back and began to sing parts of a song out loud. "The last that ever she saw him, carried away by a moonlight shadow, he passed on wary and worried, carried away by a moonlight shadow..."
"Oh yeah good point," the melodious nocturne brought his hand to his chin and then rested his hand back on his throne. "How did you hurt yourself in the first place?" Perhaps if he knew the answer he could figure out something that would explain why the boss was acting so strange. If Xemnas had changed then could he attempt to bring out the sitar again for a small test to see if Xemnas would revert back to how he was? "Last time I tried that I got yelled at though," he told himself this bit of important information. "Do I really want to piss him off again? I know I won't use my sitar this time." How would he know if the Superior was getting better or becoming far worse than what the organization expected? There had to be some kind of link to solve this enigma. "Well here goes nothing," he shrugged his shoulders and began kicking the end of the throne where his feet hung off creating noise that grew louder with each kick.
OOC: I added you guys at the first page. You're all in.) "Okay I'll come get you soon. I promise," he left his room and wandered down the hallways on his way towards the vast room of Where Nothing Gathers for he assumed the boss would be close by. On his way, he happened to hear a beautiful piece of music being played on the violin. Being the musician he was, his ears led him to Sinder's bedroom where he poked his head inside and saw her playing a melchonly type that would strike the heart of anyone who had one. "Man that was very dramatic," he leaned against the doorframe with his right hand. "If I may offer you some advice be sure to slide the bow more graciously because you were off a bit." He added hoping she wouldn't be insulted by his constructive critisism. "Oh and one more thing, the boss said that we will be leaving for the Pridelands real soon." Cloud walked towards the window of Demyx's bedroom and looked out at the giant moon that loomed in the distance. Smiling when he felt Angel rub against his pant legs, he supported the feline under his belly and paws and starred in silence for he waited for the portal to appear and journey to the mysterious new world.
Demyx scratched the back of his head and didn't say a word for he was lost in thought. He overheard Xigbar and Saix speak to the boss which made an idea form in his head. "Normal? Uh yeah why not? Isn't that what we wanted along? His question was of the obvious of what anyone of the organization would agree with. "Perhaps you're getting your wish after so long?" He held a tiny bit of resentment that was in his tone for he was acting jealous if the boss got his heart and he didn't. Cloud paused and starred at Leon as if he had two heads growing from him. "What?" He was flabbergastated, but chose to not to say another word for that would arise to many questions. To himself he thought of his hatred for Sephiroth, but also at the same time wondered since he was the clone of the silver haired man if he would be doomed to have the same fate. After all, Sephiorth did think of Cloud as his puppet, one able to control his thoughts and feelings. If not personally, then the infulence would surely get to the warrior.
I'll respond after I eat lunch.
Okay. *hugs back*
"They can't be as bad as Sephiroth, no one can be," he held bitterness towards the one winged angel, the one who made his life a living hell. It was like a miracle not to even know where he was at. "So Leon, you and Cid do what you have to do and let me know if you need anything. I need to rest up before though." How strange. Xemnas didn't react to violence or even a single glare or threat. Something obviously was wrong with the leader of the organization. He just was not himself. Almost like a complete stranger had replaced the boss he had come to fear. "Yeah you can't fool me like the others seem to think they can."
Oh Xelysha in Pride was talking to Xemnas also. Might want to edit a little bit.
Yeah, so just so you know besides Pride that needs your response, Xemnas who needs your attention too.
Hey. Can't respond back until Hellkitten does which she will tonight.
