Definitely a lot of Britney Spears songs. I mean, she has had pretty much a history of catchy songs, including, Baby One More Time, Oops, I Did It Again, etc. But recently, she's coming out with Gimme More, Piece Of Me, and now, Womanizer. There's a lot from Rihanna too, like Pon De Replay, Please Don't Stop The Music, Disturbia, definitely, the best, Umbrella. Holy...that was....something else. Definitely Sexyback by Justin Timberlake. Hips Don't Lie by Shakira. I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry is a catchy song, even though some might not like it. That's as far as catchy tunes have affected people mainstream that I could come up with for now. For me, I had Over My Head by The Fray, Do You Know? (the Ping Pong Song) by Enrique Iglesias [that one was really tough], and I'm In Love With A Girl by Gavin Degraw. There's probably more, but I can't recall them. I definitely had some T.A.T.U. songs stuck in my head for awhile, like Not Gonna Get us, All About Us, All The Things She Said, Clowns, and Stars.
OOC: I know I'm planning to destroy your place as well, but think of the way I'm doing it. It isn't Xemnas who's going to only take action: is his team and members, ALL of them, assigned to different positions and roles [which is the point of the meeting, I'll probably PM what he says though, since is no fun people knowing what you're going to do ^.-]. Is planning/tactics, and work as a group, together. And that's very strong in itself. Not overpoweredness. We're not asking you much to do daxma, except tone it down, this includes the build of a alternate universe, and the lightning beast you just summoned. Is not that hard. If you have anything to say, take it over to PM to one of us, that way, the RP won't get crowded and distracted too much with this. As for the rest of the RPers, what I said is still going. Ignore Daxma's last post, and so, Organization XIII will go on as normal, the castle is intact, and we'll continue the meeting like it never existed, alright? ^^; I will do Larxene soon enough. And Roxas. And Xemnas.
As Hellkitten said, don't be concerned. He's not gone, because he has another chance. If he doesn't get it by this point, then we have to take...
OOC: daxma...*breathes*. You don't get it. It has NOTHING to do with the mood, emotion, the song, etc. It's been warned since long before this, and it has to do with you able to create another realm/alternate universe [for goodness sake's, not even Xemnas, the most powerful Nobody as of now, can do that], the fact that you can summon gigantic whatever the hell you summoned to destroy [lightning is not able to do that, I'm sorry], and is enough that you have Keyblades, and can somehow...control your voice? And what else is going to be next? Anyway, those are what is unstable, and that's what you seem to ignore and evade. And it's not only me, because I'm not the only one that has given you a heads up about what you're doing. And I've talked to this to Hellkitten, so yeah, you can still take what I said as truth, and you don't have to worry on that one or what she'll decide. Being second-in command means that I'm here and will keep a eye when Hellkitten is not there, I was appointed by her, and I'm allowed to take action when something is wrong, and before I do anything, she's agreed with me about your powers, and even warned you herself [she's the one with the strikes count]. If you want to wait for her, fine, but you won't see any much difference. Even a member is begging me to ban you, yet, I'm much more passive and willing. There are other ways to move a RP along, and doing random overpowered writing with your character isn't the only way to do this. You don't see anyone else doing so in the RP history, so why isn't there other options that others have taken? You don't have to be Jesus or have the almighty Keyblade to be important/awesome to a story. I've used Axel, and he was one of the main characters and one of the driving forces in a serious RP. Did I have him overuse anything? No. But, he was still crucial. Which is why, after talking to you and informing you, including the owner of the RP herself [and a excuse of you being too busy is not going to work], and you still won't stop, then it does have to get to this point where we all don't want it to be. I'm giving you a chance to fix this [just fix the thing, and it's over], I don't want you to leave [and I won't blame you if you do want to leave after this] and I don't want to sound like a b!tch, it just has to set a limit because is too much. And what I said, will still stand, including to what I said to the RPers [you heard, y'all xD?].
Um. People. Take in mind that for him to do that, as the scene suggested, it was a suicide? He implodes, he dies. And even then, we don't know what move his opponent will make. Sora was right there when the explosion happened, and he wasn't hurt, nor burned. What does that say? Axel loses by default cause he killed himself, and the other stays alive and clean. Face it. Axel got his butt kicked by both Sora and Roxas. And Saïx [who doesn't have a Keyblade. Har].
ATTENTION ALL RPers HERE! Other than having this post as a example of what not to do in a RP [a.k.a. Powerplaying, overpowered], as the new appointed second-in command, as me, Hellkitten, and Deathsight have proposed, IGNORE DAXMA'S POST. In other words, the scene you see above? Never happened. Doesn't exist. So for your characters, keep them as if it never, ever happened, and continue on. This is too ridiculous now, and it seems that warning him isn't doing anything, so now is time for action. I do feel sorry, but...that has to be done. So remember, the reply quoted never happened. Just so we are on the same page... - In another note, for future purposes, if you see something that's also powerplaying on someone, talk to the member [politely] before replying to him/her. Is always good to do that when you feel is a bit too much. Hopefully, this will also make you careful with what you do with your own powers, and how to utilize them without being Jesus xD. Daxma. We have warned you, I have warned you, Hellkitten has warned you, and now, it's come to this. Third strike. Usually, that's when you're out, but I'm willing to give you another chance to fix it. If not, and you pull this crap again later, I'm sorry, but you're leaving this RP. Period. No ifs. No buts. You're leaving. I didn't want to do this, but it seems nothing else is working, so you brought us to this point where we have to be a bit harsher than usual, unfortunately. We don't want to kick you out, but we also can't have this all the time, in where we have to remind you, and correct you. I'm sorry, and I will get why you will want to leave the RP yourself if you do so after this, yet, we need control. If you don't pull it together, it will be your final post. Do you understand?
OOC: Will do ^.-. Pyro-sama is kind of busy [essays], so she might get to it soon [especially since is a one liner, not epic paragraphs to reply to. Don't look at me >.>. Woot!] [EDIT] * Also, she'll be out for two weeks to do her massive 25 page research paper. I feel for her >.<. Anyway, as promiseD, here is my character: Played By: *TwilightNight* Name: Ken Age: 17 Gender: Male Powers: Not exactly a power, but is able to manipulate and control his Ki [Qi], that helps strenghen his defenses, uses it offensively by projecting it from a distance, and heal. Is a [Chinese] martial arts expertise. Bio: He was orphaned by the time he was 10, his parents dying in a car crash while he was inside. He survived with minor head injuries, in which the first few months was plagued with short-term memory loss before it stabilized itself. Not having anyone to go to, as his family refused to adopt him for certain reasons, he got accepted into a dojo by a kind, mid-30s Chinese man, living with his wife. They became his adoptive parents despite not of Chinese heritage or blood, and while taking residence there, trained hard and worked in the Chinese martial arts, including kung fu and wushu, and learning the technique of Ki [Qi] effectively, the inner energy or "life force" that is set to animate living beings, and how to incorporate it in different styles. Even with his parents' death, while empty, his life was well-rounded and fine, normal school boy, popular, in which in turn, converted him to being a flirt and womanizer, highly arrogant and egotistic, but otherwise, a good soul at heart, fun, and outgoing. Appearance:
OOC: One liners for the WINZ! 8D But, I've been thinking, and I might decided to add another OC character. It's mostly females, so I thought why not create a male for the lulz? If I can, I mean. I always wanted to play a charming, but nice, flirt/womanizer o:.
Well, people can't forget, that Axel was much of a ****** before. So a ****** deserves a ****** to put him in his place. Other than that, I might actually have a theory of why Saïx is the way he is to Axel once I reread a KH2 Novel excerpt when concerning our dear Berserker, and it makes me wonder why I didn't see it before. In the scene, Saïx is in TWTNW, and contemplates and muses on how Axel acts differently from others and feels lonely without Roxas there, and questions that isn't that the mark of a Heart? He's kind of pissy that Axel may or may not have something that he's been pining for [and in turn, is Xemnas's lapdog], or that he gets to experience things that he can't. In other words, I believe he's jealous. If not, bitter. Think about this. We know, as much as his death goes, and his thoughts [though, his thinking of this is more in the novels], that he wants and desires a Heart the most, perhaps more than the Organization combined considering he was begging pitifully for it, and did everything to gain it or make the process complete faster. Then we have Axel, who has a dear friend, and is able to show sort of emotions that is not possible otherwise. And I think subsconciously, Saïx hates it, because someone has what he doesn't. Put this in your mind when hearing what he says to Axel most of the time, calling him foolish for having a "worthless friendship", and basically, his insults to the redhead revolves around that alone, about how he's delusioned, etc. Even recently, in the 358/2 Days scan/trailer that sparked this thread, is with "Your worthless friendship or the extinction of Roxas. Which is more important to you?". Is almost like he tries to put him down in that aspect [or is in denial], and plays around with him, and usually, that's a defense mechanism to cover up the real fact that he's....I wouldn't say angry, but harsh...sour. Saïx probably did think it was stupid in the beginning, not ruling that out, but as time passed by, he began to really question it, and in the end, it makes sense [in the novel] that he's perturbed and lost by the fact that Axel is going through feelings that he's working hard to get himself, and goes out of his way to target him solely because of it [other than trying to eliminate Axel because of his defection]. I mean, they understand that Roxas, and now Xion to a extent, are special, yet Axel is the oddball, he isn't born like they have done to be considered anything out of the ordinary compared to the rest. Just something to ponder over. I still don't agree, especially with the "If I had a Heart, this is where I'd die of laughter" quote, considering that not only was it a form of expression [or goodness forbid, if someone makes a sarcastic remark like that, that we are all secretly sociopathic o.O], the scene that it happened in and why, there's no doubt I was laughing my butt off as well xD. Seriously, Kairi and Naminé putting up fists like they were going to actually do something? Funny. That's not sociopathic, that's realistic comedy: they're acting all tough when they don't have the means to be. I still wonder what they were thinking, really. But, I'm not going to run this to the ground. I don't believe his actions are sadistic in the sense, whether mentally or not, but something else, and if you refer to him as that, might as well call the rest who make a expression like he does sadistic as well, considering he isn't the only one who's made that sort of reaction when Sora was in trouble/in battle.
No problem, I like the topic xD. The thing is, there's also the fact that Nobodies ALSO remember the way they were when they had Hearts, which is why they have personalities in the first place. They can't feel them strongly, or precisely, but they react and act by them because of their memories. Or else, we'll be having people like Saïx, and even then, he has a personality, only more colder. You cannot take what Yensid said to be that serious, considering that the topic in itself is more complicated than a simple explanation. We know that, and we, as the fandom, have debated and discussed this constantly. If it was a clear, straight cut answer, these conversations would not exist. Sora followed what others and people said and told him, which is his short sightedness and blindess, yet that doesn't mean they are completely right. Because of Yensid, they believed what they believed, but for Nobodies, it's where the rift starts, and it isn't what it appears to be. As I stated before, I think that Demyx's tough guy persona in the end, was more of act, mask, and facade [definitely not his true colors, he just had to show and prove himself, and in turn, the demeanor changed to that of a tought opponent], than anything else he has ever done: "Kind of when someone picks on you, instinct will be you wanting to present that you're just as tough as anyone. That scene I think, was to show that he can be strong if he puts his wits into it, not that he was purposely throwing someone off for further goal. That isn't Demyx, and he's just as sweet and pure inside, as he shows out." He's cheerful, he's fun, loving, and he's kind, and the purest one among all those members who are calloused and jaded. Even Roxas and Axel were jaded with their own problems and faults. I honestly don't believe that a video game character has a disorder. Is it not acceptable that he's the way he is, and there's nothing behind it? People are twitchy and eccentric. I see no harm in that. A scene with him and Phil [the goat] in the novel had him all twitchy and eccentric, and there was no negative agenda with doing so: Demyx seems genuine. With Sora, I also concluded with what the novels and the game presented, that he was TRYING to avoid the fight that he knew was on his shoulders, and had to do....by wasting/holding up time. I really do see that he was wasting time and avoided the upcoming confrontation that was ordered as best he could. As he said so himself in the quotes I posted of the novels -- he thought he had no choice. With Xemnas, betrayal is the utmost crime, and the penalty is costly. Xigbar reminds and warns him of this ["You know Superior's orders are absolute,"]. And also that, "fighting Roxas seems no fun at all". To me, he really did seem indecisive in that situation. He didn't want to, and yet, he had no escape. That explains the defeated look. He was pressured, and Sora, and Donald with his big mouth, wasn't helping the situation [yeah, I hold Sora and his pals against that. They were pretty nasty], and so, since they were mocking his weakness, he put up a front [it's more obvious when he loses and is fading]. I see no hatred for Roxas, I never saw any ill-will towards the boy, and I don't think we ever will. He seems to like the blond, and was concerned for both him and Axel [when he defected]. There's also the chance and option that Demyx believes he can have a Heart, which is why he corrected Sora when they proclaimed they didn't. Axel and Naminé questioned it a lot in the novels, and in restrospect, nothing tells otherwise that Demyx can't do the same. Even with Larxene, yes, Larxene, Vexen had to remind her of the same thing. She specifically said in a scene that "people without Hearst truly are worthless", into which Vexen replied with, "You don't have a Heart as well, or have you forgotten?" [don't know the exact quote, but that's basically it], into which she turns her head and scowls. We don't know what Demyx thinks concerning this, as neither the novels, for now, or the game, goes into it, but, I think we can guess a little by his reaction.
Alright, thanks ^^. It was different for me since I went to the Visitor Messages instead, so it made me twitch. I'll keep that in mind for next time.
OOC: omfgwtflulzgtfobbq! Is back. Kind of feels odd in a way. Yeah, but DeadlyxMascara needs to reply first, since she hasn't replied yet to a post Pyro made as Ren. She's not on, right? (DM, I mean)
:glomp: =3 Thank you, O R A N G E! I thought I would get fried for going ahead and...taking some action type thing today on behalf of RA...
I kind of don't want to bother you in here, I really don't >.<, you might get to it on time, but oh Gawd T-T. Instead of doing a whole spiel, I...
Despite the fact that Donald and Goofy are considered "useless", the truth of the matter is, that they are not. If it wasn't for them, Sora would not be anywhere, or even alive to make it this far. Even if in the gameplay/battle they don't do much of anything, they do aid in distracting the Boss to give Sora openings, and provide a Heal when you might get too distracted in the fight. As someone pointed out, if it wasn't for Donald and Goofy in CoM, Larxene would've knocked him the hell out. Maybe severely. He couldn't defeat Xemnas by himself, and in Reaction Commands/scenes, it shows Riku saving his @ss more than often. Donald and Goofy had to remind him of what was happening in Hollow Bastion at the time in KH2. He's not exactly smart to depend on strategies and tactics either. As for Sephiroth, I always thought it as a spar, rather than a battle, kind of like testing. It shows this by the fact that neither Sora nor Sephiroth were exhausted or hurt when they stopped. He didn't really defeat him, and the man said so himself that it was only Cloud that is able to accomplish it [at least, I think so]. In my opinion, with some of the elements the Organization have in their posession, they should've been all powerful beings than what they were presented in the game. Time? Space/Gravity? Illusion? Lightning/Thunder? [who is able to kill a person in one simple strike] But, away from that, and in the conclusion: Sora without friends = Nothing.
OOC: daxma, if you continue to do this, I'm going to have to severely talk to Hellkitten about you. I've tried to tell you before in good manner, but now you're making a freaking realm? You're not Jesus, sorry to say, although it seems you want to be. And from now on, I will ignore your replies [not your posts, mind you, your replies], and pretend they never happen. For example, if you do anything to TWTNW, or its residents, everything will go on as it if never touched them until you learn how to control what you can actually do with what you have, instead of making it up as you go along to the point where is not even possible to comprehend. Look in the front page, read what you can do in your character profile, and leave it at that. And goodness forbid if you challenge Roxas again now that I got control of him. Then you'll know real Powerplaying.
Exactly. At one point, to test, when my friend came over once more, and brought her PS2 to play KH2 for me, I tested out Demyx's gameplay. The water clones, yes, can cause damage, but by what they do in that situation, they aren't capable of drowning you. They simply attack [only when you are on the hardest level], or otherwise, float and follow you around. And if they do attack, the hits aren't that versatile or invoke great weakness to lower down your bar. In another test, I simply kept running away from the water clones, not touching Sora in way, wasting the time, and yes, is more like losing in that context, but you STILL have to start over. To be truthful, adding the gameplay is very tricky, as it is placed and meant to work for the battles that we, as the players, can fight on. I fully believe that if it wasn't for the time limit, those water clones wouldn't be as hard adversaries without it. Is in with these terms, that unless we do see something other than in gameplay, with a scene, for a more liable and factual way to truly use the ability, it can go either negative or positive. So, I'm not really going to comment on that as much. I've also read the novels, more so than the manga [I do not consider it to be canon, to the game. For its own canon universe it created, is fine, but as attaching it to the game, is impossible. Plots and great changes were made that wouldn't tie in, and I'm certain most of those who read them knows what I'm talking about, and thus, it disconnects from the direct series. Mixing them as one is not going to work, many complications will evolve from it], as it deals with the behind the scenes of what happens in the game itself. I definitely don't see this other side of Demyx, a mask, considering that to be able to build that mask, the person himself has to be aware of it. Demyx, in nowhere near his thoughts, reactions, or "emotions", does not show that his personality is in any way, fake, or that he knows his upper hand and utilizes it. In fact, he goes to do so naturally, as if what he remembers to be, and is, when he was a person with a Heart. So, if he could turn this on and off, tough and kind, for his liking, a hint would've been made that he's more darker, or more sinister than meets the eye, more manipulative and conniving, and to me, that's not the case. And facts to me, presents that it isn't. In my opinion, the act with Sora truly bonds with the fact that he DOESN'T like to be weak, or to be seen as wimp. He expresses it in his mind at a point in the novels. These excerpts include: Does that sound bad to any of you? With these in hand, as few as they are, is easy to see that Demyx isn't two-faced, and I think that with the pressure Sora was giving him, insulting his abilities, and that he was a "wimp" as well, gave him the leverage to fully just get on with his orders, and do what he was suppose to do because to him, he had no choice [points at his thoughts again in above quote], and prove himself that he can be someone to be wary of to the very person who, and sorry to say, was mean to him in terms of what he is already bothered about, and is aware of. He's insecure, and as I said to someone before, that plays a part in how he doesn't believe that he's capable of more than he limits himself to. Basically, I find the whole "Silence, traitor" more of facade, "mask", and a act, than anything else he did before. Kind of when someone picks on you, instinct will be you wanting to present that you're just as tough as anyone. That scene I think, was to show that he can be strong if he puts his wits into it, not that he was purposely throwing someone off for further goal. That isn't Demyx, and he's just as sweet and pure inside, as he shows out. If he wasn't, I will never feel sorry for him, and will make me think he was deserving of his death. That's my two cents. The rest, I don't necessarily disagree with, as I never viewed Demyx as such a weak fighter, and from what I've seen in another forum, not many people do. However, this is gameplay, so keep that in mind when putting together thoughts, as, if it wasn't for the Time Limit, killing the clones would be a stroll in the park, and more like a mini-game. Is really up to the person what they want to take in. With me, the abilities that they are capable of, are canon. Just not the way is used in battle [for example, repeating moves, etc.]
Personally, I think Lightning [I'll remove from calling it "Thunder", since that isn't the correct element to be named by, considering thunder is the sound after lightning strikes, not lightning. I still ponder why the Japanese refer to it as that in all their games], and Gravity/Space. To start off, I really do think the members', in terms of their powers, are really nerfed and dumbed down to a point where they can be average, if not, great fighters, but not ultimately powerful. For example, Luxord, has the abilitiy of time. TIME. He could back UP those 10 years of BBS, and change history. He can undo the deaths of the Organization by going to the past, and altering the certain events that allowed it to occur, and avoid himself fading. You can freeze your surroundings, and then easily let it go when in need. This is what is most associated with the "element", and you will think that a person controlling time is capable of great feats. No, we only got card games and a time limit. Xigbar. He has Gravity/Space, for pete's sake. Do I really need to explain the utter destruction he could have? Vortex, defying the natural pull of gravity, able to warp, maybe even go to dimensions. Think about this. Personally, with this in hand, this should make him a deadly member, at least, more deadly than he was. But all he was reduced to is moving around, turning upside down, switching the fields...and even with that, it sounds incredibly amazing. Seriously. Sora would have never, EVER, gone through these guys if they showed the potential they were capable of. Of course, the hero has to save the day, and always has to win and be the all powerful with the mighty undefeatable weapon of doom, so of course, some were taken away to fit the need of that fate. Now, moving on from that, since I managed to explain Xigbar in that half way rant, I will explain why I chose lightning as one. Is not favoritism, is because I truly do believe lightning is dangerous, one strike by it, and you, literally, die. Period [which makes me wonder if Sora has durable, rubber/leather skin, because he from the first moment hit, realistically, would be pushing daisies >.>]. It is considered one of the most deadly phenomenons in nature, and yet, beautiful to look at. And fast. Kind of fitting for who wields it in Org. XIII as a female, and with the title of Savage Nymph. But, on to the point, lightning can heat nearby air to about 18,000 °F (10,000 °C) almost instantly, which is nearly twice the temperature of the Sun’s surface [the heating is what creates the shock wave heard as thunder]. Already hotter than fire, which is obvious, consider the amount of heat it posesses is what gives it its glow. It travels at speeds up to 60,000 m/s, and can reach temperatures of 54,000°F (30,000 °C). As you know, it is also hot enough to fuse silica sand into petrified lightning —known as glass channels or fulgurites. Lightning is also capable of hurting/killing people from 30 yards of where it strikes. Obviously, applying logic won't work in a game [though, I figured, since it is lightning, and thus, the same statistics must be contained to have it the way it is], aware that Sora beat these guys when they have really dreadful, and right on the spot kill elements, but on to the point, if Larxene does use it resourcefully and effectively, she can do many things with it as much as she wants it to. Hmm. Illusion is also another deadly element. Think about this one, as well. With the way Zexion uses it, you can drive someone insane and mentally unstable by using manipulation and putting their greatest fears come to reality. You can honestly, break a person down, and this isn't even counting what Zexion does with it in-game, taken from another member of a forum who placed it down nicely: he can clone himself if he wants to swarm you, he could send you into a massive loop of hallucinations if he wants to torment you or incapacitate you, and he could copy any weapon he wants which means he could assumingly attack with Axel's Chakrams, Larxene's kunai, Marluxia's Scythe, Xigbar's Gun Arrows, or any other member's weapon for that matter. Then, there's that lexicon. He can blast you with it, have it blast you, or have it create a vortex to suck you in. Then, once he traps you in it, he could confuse, baffle, and bombard you in his very own dimension to his heart's content. Thes rest aren't what I considered to be deadly, except maybe Xemnas's, yet, Nothingness, I suppose, go hand to hand in Darkness and Light. To Nobodies, it is basically death in himself, because they are nothing. He can, as said in the game itself, turn them into Dusks if he feels like it, and outright threatens Axel in a [quite dreary and empty] meeting. Of course, as said, they were nerfed for Sora to easily kill, otherwise, there wouldn't be any part of Sora left.
OOC: What is Larxene suppose to do again? Just stay in Betwixt And Between? And what is of Pyro lolwutgtfo o:? Just to say, since now Axel is free [shakes head at Carne Asada], she might be interested. That, and Sora and Naminé are stuck D:. "You know, somehow it would better if you were awake before, I'm sure there would've been many 'gambling', 'wager', and 'betting' on your part," Larxene stated quite bored as she directed her words to Luxord, remembering her thoughts about him doing so. She supposed it was time now to accomplish the work that she had been chosen to do by the rest, or rather, what she herself had volunteered for, and it was too late to turn back now. Not that she would have, by this point. She wasn't fond of death, that much she admitted to herself, but once you did get it over with once...what was there? She had nothing here, she had nothing anywhere, and even if she did miraculously have gotten her Heart back when betrayal wasn't such a problem, what will be the point if she had no use for it? She didn't have a home to come back to, she didn't have anyone that was waiting for her, or had mourned for her sudden loss [to the Heartless]. What if. She definitely had nothing in this castle, with these members, they wouldn't give a damn if the portal somehow went wrong, and she was lost, probably what some were even hoping for. It was all the more convincing for her to get the hell out of here when this was over. If they made it out alive, that is. And then, she will set out to live a empty life without a Heart...in fact, death sounded much more of a clear path for her than whatever was in this realm. If she did get killed doing this errand, at least she wouldn't end up regretting it. In fact, the only thing she would regret is giving the members who wanted her dead to rejoice. That was enough to fuel her. In the end, she was of no importance, she had no idea why was she born in the first place because of that, and while she'd rather remain alone to avoid hurt and the dark side of what this universe really was, torturing people loses its charm when you did it a bit too much. That surely wasn't going to be her job. It was more like recess to her, to have fun with. So it was pointless to say, she was completely ready for whatever awaited her, and if she died, or got her Soul sucked out, so be it. She was not needed. "I am to believe you are aware of your help in the portal as well?" Xemnas inquired tentatively as he stared at the girl, who appeared lost in thought. She did hear him, however, as all he got was a wave of her hand and a nod. He took in a breath, doubts in his mind about the girl's future actions once they let her go, but it was to be done. He made the decision, the members made the decision, and if it did turn out to be a mistake, they will deal with it accordingly. They weren't fully at a a loss. With a motion, he added, "I have to say this, that we are counting on you. I am certain I know we're not your exact favorites to be aiding, yet this is a test, as well as a chance to redeem yourself. The choice you'll make will be yours to consider. Get down there where it will open, and be ready to leave once the passage is in control." He, of course, was talking of the dais in the center, the Nobody symbol marked in its marble and shining upon them. She scratched her neck a little, letting her arms stretch out at what came to be the time of judging, so to speak. She smirked to herself. Yes, the decision was hers. She was not going to lie, it was too tempting not to abandon them when she had this freedom right at the palm of her hand; these people had done nothing for her, one who would turn them into Dusk or hunt them down if disobeying his orders, and another who had stabbed her in the back just as he was entrusted with a plan that was close to be permanently constructed, and hated with all her being. So why was she the one to give? She accepted her fate when pursuing this assignment that was now coming into action, and yet, that didn't mean that she accepted doing any kind of moral move for them. What did she owe? Zero. Then on the other side of this debate, she wasn't blind to the fact that this wouldn't exactly be the end for them if she did not do what she was suppose to, not if they had anything to say about it, and in retrospect, the decision was already set for her. Not to mention, the entity was after them, including her, so might as well stay where she was to be. That is, if she didn't want to create self-induced suicide and escape anyway to let whatever befell her did, which was really a idea stuck in her mind to perform. Letting out a sigh, she raised herself off the chair with her hands, and pushed her body out swiftly, floating in mid-air before she spiraled down to the ground from the high height in a flourish of her cloak as her stomach tickled at the ride, the rustling of the wind in her clothes calming once she landed smoothly and gracefully to the dais on her feet, knees bending just a little, simply composing and straightening herself. Looking above her and around, the thrones towering over her figure from every angle, with gazes set right in her spot, it was a flash of déjà vu, as she had never been in this position ever since the first time she came here as Number Twelve. It was a cause of intimidation at her once lost self, but now...now it had no effect. Placing her vision in front of her after, to begin, she outstretched her arm, and summoned the Dark Corridor, only a small, dark opening in the air able to be conjured up as it got compressed. Xemnas in succession, copied the act, and forced out his own energy to the portal, watching as it greatly got bigger and wider. Saïx, after remaining in silence, and eyeing the events around him as so, repeated the act of the two as he lent out his ability, the Dark Corridor spreading even wider, though now there was a struggle, as it pressured and weighted on him back in turn, attempting to close by a astounding force. From the looks of Xemnas and Larxene's faces, he wasn't the only one experiencing this change. His gold, sharp eyes were set on the female despite this, knowing she was his choice, and it would do her well to avoid any embarrassment on his behalf. He did not want to be picked as a fool for depending on the wrong member in this situation, and it seemed he had a subconscious fondness to place his wits on wildcards that can either bring a positive or negative outcome. But, it was to be seen. The vote ended. Thus, it was a matter of him swallowing what he had build up.
OOC: I actually had to see the female Org. uniform for this post with Larxene to understand [I'm not sure about Xion yet, but, I'm positive is the same], and is very visible when they show her leg [having us girls pass through the horrid hidden fanservie...then again *looks at multitude of KH bishies*. I shouldn't complain :D. Teehee] as she royally pwned Sora the first time, that she wears tight black pants. So, I've confirmed they are leggings. In fact, for proof of claim, I present ye picture of said leg action: http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i188/StarChipette/Ansem Retort/PwnageExtreme.jpg >.> <.< Moving on... Larxene sighed as she was done putting on her pants, rather, the black leggings. There was a difference between what outfits each Organization member wears on gender, other than the high heeled boots, and while males in the group used normal, black pants as right for them, the girls, wore black leggings. Fitting, and like another skin. Usually, these were known for exercising, so the comfortable freedom that it gave to her was perfect. It let her move her flexibility, let her administer her high end kicks smoothly, and she can spread her terror in a swift flow. Of course, there were also contrasts in the black cloaks themselves, though this went for all of them; some rare members, like Axel, Xigbar, and she supposed to add him in, Demyx, had tight sleeves [it did not work for Axel as much, in her opinion, considering he was already anorexic thin, and that chosen style didn't help him cover the fact that he's a stick], while the rest, wore them loose, like Marluxia, Saïx, Xemnas...it was all relative. It made her ponder over how did they ever get their uniform tailor-made fit for them. Who created them? When she had joined the very first time, her clothes, and extra, were laid on her bed for her by the time she got accustomed to her new existence. Perfect shoe size, perfect leggings size, perfect length of cloak size, it was almost...abnormal. Shaking her head at that, remembering that there was a meeting, she slid in her boots for further measure, and eyed herself in the mirror, the only thing covering her chest being a black sports bra. She had to let some of her article of clothing off to get the spots that were slashed, preferably her waist, and her thighs, and once that was done, she was all the more ready to continue forward. The pain inwardly was slightly fading after she took a pill [courtesy of Vexen again], still there, but not such a bother to her to get in the way of her fighting. And the burning cuts were all refreshed with Vexen's ointment, which covered them like thin ice, slowly taking away the stings, and cooling them. It felt delightfully good. If they were to go to this...other Organization's castle to wreak havoc [and to get her revenge on Demyx on par with that, though there were still too many ideas of how to pay him triple, that she couldn't decide which], she had to be in good shape. Raising her arms upward in a stretch, loosening the hidden muscles of her body, she grabbed her cloak, and placed it on as she zipped it close, followed by her gloves in succession. A part of Larxene wanted to go without it, just to see the looks on the members' faces for the hell of it when she showed up half with nothing, it would be amusing. However, she'll be damned before she ever got to reveal any skin to them. She did have her dignity, and she doubted they'll ever see her with anything else, but her uniform on. The least they could see her is in her nightwear, and yet, that's usually covered with a robe. Unless she was utterly and fully out of it, it wasn't happening. And she didn't believe the men here thought of that anyway with the situation they were in. A plus. Fixing her hair a little, she in turn portalled out when she was ready, appearing in her assigned marble chair as the black frills vanished, crossing her ankles as her eyes looked around. There were still just a few, two to three missing, and, she wasn't late. Xemnas noted Larxene's entrance vigilantly, and she seemed to be physically alright for the mission ahead. There were just a few missing, and he was not certain whether to start without them. Time was wasting. They needed to do this fast and quickly. Briefly closing his eyes and then reopening them, he eyed his members. "For the remaining that are still missing, they will have to catch up, as we need to move this on. First, how many of you are aware of the position we are in before I explain?"
