Organization XIII's Rivals

OOC: Messy in the way a person was searching for something (but May did it on purpose, I'd think xP), if you can get me on that. As for the 'scent' in the object, no, not particularly ^^;...is more of a clue that is someone who posesses darkness, but since is just whiff (a leftover), it would 'smell' familiar, but the 'scent' is not strong enough.

Vexen waited patiently as Zexion continued examining it, placing a hand on his chin.

OOC: My shortest post ever since...how long? o.O

 

OOC: lol That's the first shortest post I've ever seen from you actually...I used to write, like, lots of short posts until I actually started RPing with you. You gave me an incentive to write long and pithy. lol Although I still get writer's block sometimes, and I end up writing like, two sentences long. xD

It was familiar. Definitely familiar. But belonging to whom? Zexion just couldn't put his finger on it. Sighing, he opened his eyes, extending his arm to hand back the object. Gazing at it, he remarked, "I can't quite tell whose 'scent' it is...but the fact that it's glowing is a clue itself..." He frowned, slightly 'irked' that he couldn't quite fathom it. "Either someone has posession over something of darkness...or they can make it appear like so."

"What the..." Larxene could barely believe her eyes as she could see that her room was quite disarrayed. A few clothes strewn aside, the bed covers trailing on the floor...it was as if someone had been going through her posessions, or purposefully trying to trash her room in a rush. Clenching her fists, she frowned, crossing her arms. She wasn't quite sure who it could've done it, and she wasn't even certain on how to find out. Zexion would probably be the only one to discover with his power of 'scent'...and since he was going to come in later, she might as well ask him. It's not like she could really figure out herself...and the moogle was going to provide much of a hassle she was sure, being just like a child.
Turning to the creature she had warped alongside her, she crouched besides him. "Now then, would you mind if I ask you a couple of questions?" she asked, looking at him sweetly, as she patted his head. She would've liked to just start off firing off inquiries, but if the scaredy-cat was ever going to answer - normally - she would have to play it safe...for now.

 

OOC: Lol xD, I never wanted to write short, because I found, eveytime I checked my post over, that something was missing, and I could've placed a little more than I did, so it bothered me. That just expanded to what I do now ^^;. But I had no idea what to write on Vexen that time, so I just...placed something.

"If they can make it apear like so, wouldn't they have to have some type of darkness or power relating to it?" Vexen questioned thoughtfully, sighing in 'disappointed' as his discovery didn't prove to be quite what he expected it to be, he had greater predictions than that, or else, the darkness was covered well. Taking back the piece, he placed in the bag again, and zipped it closed, breathing deeply as he settled it on Zexion's desk with the wine, where it was before. There had to be some hint in there that could be useful, not many posessed and controlled darkness well enough, and from the way it glowed, it definitely, from his studies, showed that it was by a posessor, not simply natural darkness. Since the Cloaked Schemer said it 'smelled' familiar, than perhaps it was someone he had come in contact with, or someone he had met before, even the essence of it. Lifting his head up, as he had it down while he was thinking, he eyed his comrade in a very serious, but knowing manner, "Tell me, Zexion, do you have any idea who might wield darkness? The object glows...is definitely stronger than any darkness that could simply wrap itself around it. Is there for a reason...."

And someone who had to be there on the time of Axel's death. Yet, as Vexen thought more on it, the wider the realization became...close.

 

"Hmm..." Zexion mused, crossing and uncrossing his arms as he tried to think back to the people he had met. At last, it clicked. "Max...he has control over roses, with darkness within...I remember that the last time we met...but what is he to do with Axel?"
Max always schemed to do something with Larxene and Axel, but he didn't know what...had he gotten his way with the Flurry of Dancing Flames at last? To kill him? Or was it something else?

 

Vexen wanted to snap his fingers at the mention of Max, but stopped as it wasn't his way of going about things, and he couldn't believe he missed it. Of course...that man had always wanted to do something with Larxene or Axel, or both even, yet he never really knew what exactly were the guy's powers. But what happened then? Did he kill the insufferable redhead? A part of his plan? But there wasn't a way, he was sure his machine was not manhandled or disrupted from any outside force, not even darkness could be capable of affecting everything, or even used to disable a object. There was no doubt in his mind that his creation short-circuited as much as it 'pained' him to think so, all the clues that he had gone over his machine pointed to it. It was basically written in print.

The particular piece was also part of the lid that opened the casket as well, so that's even more prove that while it was touched, it wasn't tinkered with. So what did that left? One, Max was there when it malfunctioned, and tried to get him out for reasons known to himself or for his plan. Two, he simply stood there watching, peering as it spewed its death. Third, to trick them and leave a clue purposefully to guide them wrong, and only managing to fall more into his hands. Or fourth....he was there when it went haywire and...

His eyes widened at that, for once, feeling some type of flourish as the possibility ran through his head. Could there be...yet, there were many other reasons as well, he wouldn't go simply for the one option that caught his interest the most, but will definitely catch a certain blonde female's interest. He wasn't even positive it was Max either. Blinking his eyes, he gazed at Zexion intensely, "Can...make sure, does that 'familliarity' turns towards Max more? Think on it carefully if you have to, you hear? This is crucial..."

 

"Hmm...if we have something else of Max's," Zexion said, slowly, "I could be more certain...by a few experimenting upon it...but even if it does belong to him...what could this mean?"
The Cloaked Schemer wasn't exactly sure, as he hadn't been the one to invent the machine, nor had he gotten a good look at it since the last time Roxas trashed it. However, the main line was that there might be a possibility Axel...was still alive...

 

"Anything for you nice lady" fluffy said, still cuddling with larxene.

"Femalesh" Manager said.

 

GOD D*MN IT, FLOPSUM! *sigh*......all right......I've got bigger problems on my hands......all right....let's see......maybe this will work.....

The hallway was completely empty and quiet.......minus all the noises coming from the kitchen.......anyway.....suddenly there were footprints of flame stalking down the hallway looking like someone invisible was walking but accidentally leaving a trail. The footprints started sprinting down the hallway past the kitchen and turning a corner.

 

OOC: What is everyone doing and where are they?..I wanna do something on this thread but I dont know what to do..

 

.....well......Larxene's back.......Flopsum the moogle is eating every scrap of food in the Organizaiton's refrigerator......Xangel and Xin are fighting(but they're not seen at the moment)

 

"Hmm...." was all Vexen muttered, his brain churning at the chance that was now presenting itself, and yet, Max was the one still on his mind, unless of course, it was leading them astray. But there were only a few posessors of darkness that he had known, Ansem...the heartless, was one, then it passed on to Riku, and the only one left with a sense of darkness like it, as far as he knew, was Max. It will be understandable why he would be at the machine, the many reasons there, but one of them had to be the truth, even though he knew to be careful on the hints. As said, it could've been placed there on purpose for them to notice it...but then....why did he only find out when Roxas trashed the machine and he found this particular clue with a bunch of other useless parts after? Max couldn't predict the future as to what Roxas would do, and he was there the whole time cleaning up except for the meeting. Why would Max bother to put some clue on a piece to lead them to the wrong conclusion anyway? And why would it be worth it since he could have easily thrown it in the trash bag without a second look as he was tidying up the lab? Didn't add up...and he had to cross that possibility out, though not completely. The fact that he actually killed Axel was crossed out as well, due to previously stated reasons that his machine had no outward interference.

The rest was Max being there and touching the lid, either watching....but why would he? If he didn't kill Axel, why would he watch a part of his own scheme die? Vexen frowned to himself as he knew where his mind was leading him up to, and his eyes appeared enthralled at the likelihood. Was it that easy? Or maybe he was just proud of his machine to actually think it might've been hindered? That was denial on his part...and as a scientist, opportunities were endless, and doubting yourself was just a pathway to failure.

It was then he wondered whether he should share this with the Cloaked Schemer...but shaking his head in the end, he made his way to get up, reaching out for his wine as he stood. Looking at the bottle, he briefly thought if he should offer it to Zexion, as it was meant for them both to drink...but he would probably think it was poison like Larxene did. So grasping it, he decided to leave the piece on Zexion's table if he wished to inspect it more, and looked at him, "I think I should make my leave for now, I've got my answer. Larxene is probably waiting for you anyway...and no word about this, and I repeat, NO word about this whatsoever to Larxene, if you're on the same line of thinking the same conclusion. The last thing we need is for her to go reckless again and ruin things. "

However, Vexen didn't know to either to search more or be greatly disappointed that Axel might be...

"A female? Do you mean Roxas's or mine's? Or both?" Axel asked forcibly...politely, though he more was aware that the blue alien lizard was replying to his question, because he had known that the Chocobo he had come to bond with, was indeed, a female; there was no other possible way. And a very loveable one at that. Yet, he still wanted it to be sure and to be placed in the air to hear, since there was a two percent chance he might make a mistake on gender. Seeing Roxas not saying anything and waiting for the answer, they both looked expectantly at the...what was it?

OOC: Basically, Tula, there's Moogle mania due to Max xP. Axel is still in Traverse Town (nobody can get in, as always, and nobody can sense your presence) where Max has him from the beginning after he woke up from his long rest of him being 'dead' (the thing is, the machine malfunctioned, Max was spying on this, and saved Axel, if you didn't know). After a long while, Axel was getting bored with no one to talk to except Max and his Moogle minions, and tensions were high with arguments, and Axel asked for Roxas to come, at least. Max did so, and know Roxas and Axel, are checking out a Chocobo ranch, where the manager is a Hypello (another FF creature from FFX).

Vexen found a piece that had a darkness to it when he was cleaning his trashed machine, and found it as a clue, and now he's investigating about Axel's death or murder and talking with Zexion to see if he could 'smell' who does it belong to. The 'scen't is familiar, but it doesn't directly say who it is, yet the two come to the though of Max. Is not set in stone, but Vexen is suspicious, and now he's about to leave after Zexion told him what he thought. Larxene is in her room...with her Moogle, Fluffy (but Nymph is not here now, so I don't who you can talk to except for Xangel, who is confronting Xin, wanting to take her back to their Org.).

 

*sigh*.......I hope he doesn't do anything......

 

Ooc://Deathsight44->Didn't see you couldn't sense it, which sorta changes any fact of getting in there. Sorry, I haven't been able to post I was too busy with studing for school, and stuff... >.> I was gonna delete the post but I forgot what page I post on so yeah. Can ya just ignore that I ever posted that post?

 

ooc: kk

bic: "Both of zshem" Manager said to axel.

Flopsum let out a loud burp, now that the refrigerator was completely emptied out. He had eating everything. But his next target was the cabinates, where he could get some delicious, good for the soul, awsomelishious, dorito's.

ooc: man. if only nymph were here. Everything requires her to be here these days, lol

 

Not really......I need CG.

 

Xioimara quietly walked back and fourth, she stopped and sighed, looking up.
"I wonder what the other Orginization is like, I barely talk to the dudes in this orginization." She said, and smirked and started walking back and fourth. "I wonder if any of 'em have swords like me?" Xioimara asked herself.

 

........<_<.........>_>.......

She dropped down and ran down the hall toward the kitchen.

AAAAAHH! FLOPSUM!

More shouts and noises can be heard from the kitchen.

 

Flopsum was in a bag of dorito's, specificly the nacho cheese flavored kind (oh how delicious nacho cheese dorito's are), gobbling down the dorito's fast

Wiggles then jumped down from axel's head, saying "Nachos, kupo", suddenly having a totally random craving for nacho's, as he began to walk away, towards a near by nacho stand, god only knowing how the hell these food stands kept popping up

 

Xioimara sat down, and pulled out her sword.
"Wanna train, Abyss?" She said looking at the sword. No...And I hate you for asking every other five minutes... Xioimara heard bluntly in her head.
"Love you too..." Xioimara said, standing up.

 

Gargh....

She quickly grabbed Flopsum along with the bag and ran out of the kitchen disappearing in a flash of fire and smoke.

OOC-........it's the kitchen of Organization XIII........you should still be at Shrouded City....
