thank you!
Zexion saw Eve appear in her chair, and he smelt Xue. She wasn't in her chair, and he decided that she was not in the room, but she must be nearby. Her scent was strong. He acted on Xemnas' nod and left to get Xollot. He found her studying Luxord who had come in and was sitting on his favorite sofa, cards in hand as always. "He will see you." Xollot rose from her place and followed Zexion. He summoned a Corridor of Darkness, but did not go through it. He tilted his head to indicate the Xollot was to go through. When she emerged, Xollot was in the center of a circle of chairs, all of them far above the ground. She saw Xemnas in the second to largest one, which puzzled her a little. She had but little knowledge of the new members and it did not seem in keeping, either with Xemnas' pride, or his intelligence, to allow anyone to be seated above him. Things like that lead to divided loyalties, and depositions. There was a girl there as well, one of the new ones, but Xemnas must have instructed her to keep quiet just before Xollot entered, for she had her mouth shut, and wore a bored and impatient look, which proclaimed that she had business with him, and wanted to get it done. Xollot took her time, looking this way and that, and finally fell to looking at Xemnas, and trying to read his eyes. He was of course very high up but she could see him well enough. Still he said nothing, so Xollot decided to make the first move. "My name is Xollot. I have come to offer my services to you. I suggest it might make things go a little quicker if state my case uninterrupted, and then you can make your decision about me. is this agreeable?"
nice to meet you too.
Xollo's eyes followed Xaldin as he walked briskly through the room, and into a Dark Corridor. He had but glanced at here before leaving. He had smiled at the sight of her, but the smile had left as quickly as it had come, and she saw the distaste in his eyes as he strode past her. It was not directed at her though, it was more a sort of...anticipatory disgust, almost a reluctance to leave. She could readily guess where he was going. Her researches, and observation made her privy to the final resting places of all the original members. He was going to the Beast's Castle. She knew it with as much certainty as if she were going with him. "Beast is in for a rough time." she thought. Xaldin would be ten times more spiteful and manipulative than before, the more so because now he had a personal motive. He would not be merely following orders, but seeking vengeance, which was a far more powerful motivator.
While I was looking at videos in the video portal, I saw a little thing next to the video I was watching that said "Favorites - 0" this would seem to indicate you one can favorite videos, but I could find no option for doing so. Am I right, and if so, how do I do it?
It was YOU that did the Destroy video! That was truly amazing! How long did it take tp put that together?
Could Xemnas attend to his duty in Organization Unlimmited? Please? :-)
As Xollot and Zexion made their way up the ramps and stairs that composed The Castle That Never Was, Xollot's eyes darter here and there, taking in the blank walls and the absence of members. Xemnas must have sent them out in force while she'd been sitting in front of C.O. Zexion took her to the Grey Area. He sniffed the air. "He's alone." he said. "Wait Here." He stepped through the Corridor of Darkness and emerged in his seat in the Round Room. "There is a Nobody in the Grey Area. She wants to see you."
Is that a reflection upon my character's personality? :-)
Xollot sat on the path with her legs dangling over the edge into an abyss over which the path spanned. Her gaze was directed towards the spiky and misshapen form of the castle at the end of the path upon which she rested. She had been watching Organization XIII carefully for some time, and had decided upon this as the best way of insinuating herself into their ranks. She didn't want to barge into their world unannounced, for they had allowed strangers into their realm before, and it had ended in unmitigated disaster. If they had any sense, they would attack first and ask questions later. Xollot went armed and was well capable of defending herself, but she was no fighter. That wasn't how she worked. The Organization had maintained a very low profile of late - though she had reason to believe that their ranks had swelled to more than twice their original number - and it was difficult to know where to find them. She knew for a fact that Xemnas would not give up his attempts to dissolve the mystery surrounding Castle Oblivion and despite what happened last time he sent forces there, she knew he had sent more. She had seen them enter. Of course, she could have approached them then and there, but she was in no hurry, and the extra time allowed to her to re-check her reasoning and make sure her decision was a sound one. As she waited Xollot reflected upon herself and her motives. Most, if not all, of the Organization's original members acted out of the desire to regain their heart; to become whole. She had no such wish. She supposed that there had been some advantages to having a heart, some things she missed. But for the most part, she had found the change an improvement. She was stronger, her mind unclouded by the sentimentalities which had clouded her thinking back when she had been able to feel. Emotions were the bane of logic, the enemy of detatchment, both of which Xollot had strived to embody. No, She truly did not miss her heart. So why was she going out of her way to get into Organization XIII? Why was she prepared to subject herself to the infuriation and annoyance of the other members? She had seen them all, and only two or three lacked the qualities which so irritated her. And then there were these...people. She could see why Somebodies would be useful to Xemnas, but there was nothing that grated on her nerves and temper like the softness and weakness of those with hearts. So why was she prepared to place herself right in the thick of them? Xollot kept on thinking. and waiting. Finally after a few days, a form emerged from the large, carved door. Xollot allowed herself a slight smile of satisfaction. She had made her decision and she would not now go back on it. It was time to take the final step. The figure was tall and thin, black coated like all the others. His hair was a steely sort of silver color, and hung in front and around his face like a cage. Zexion. That was good. From what she'd seen of him, he was reliable, not like some. She stood up and walked towards him. Her crossbow was slung across her back, and a thick staff tapped against the ground as she strode forward. She did not need it to walk, but it served as an extra defense, just in case she couldn't use her crossbow for some reason. Xollot believed in being prepared. Zexion had noted an unfamiliar scent among the jumble of well known ones for some time, that was why he had come outside; to trace it to it's source. The moment he came outside it had grown much stronger, and now he saw a shortish woman rising from her perch at the edge of the path. Her thick auburn hair hung around her face a few inches above her shoulders. It ruffled in the breeze as she strode purposefully toward him. He was not worried. Her scent was dark, cold, undoubtedly that of a Nobody. She stood for a moment before him then, "My name is Xollot. I wish to offer my services to the Superior. Take me to him." She said. He looked calculatingly at her, one arm crossed over his check, the other hand raised to his mouth in a gesture of thoughtfulness. She stared calmly back. Finally, he nodded.

Right. Sorry, I didn't see that!
All forms of cruelty disturb me, although I confess, animals and children have more impact to my mind. But you asked why people react more to animal cruelty than human cruelty. I think there can be a variety of answers, so I will list them. First: That animal cruelty is much more circulated than human cruelty. It's virtually impossible to watch TV and not see a comercial for abused animals, not so with humans. Secondly: Our culture, and our movies precondition us to violence against fellow humans. I love action films, and I don't flinch when I the violence against humans. Thirdly: There are more activist groups for animals then humans. People that are inverts and don't like other people like animals, so they are more willing to put time and money into protecting them.
I shut down and hide until the worst is passed (or rather, until I have made the worst pass) then I re-emerge an irritable introvert.
Either Axel or Riku. Probably Riku. He's got all the good lines of a villain but the player is not obliged to hate him!
umm. My videos aren't on Youtube, but on a site called Vimeo, and it's not accepting the URL. What can I do?
