Where for art thou, Key Bearer? (Open to all)

[Era]

((Ooc: I just HAD to put Axel somewhere, and randomly selected Traverse Town, hope that's okay. Feel free to join.. And hey, suprise me! ))

Second District; it was the perfect place to show up in. He knew he’d blend right in to the dark activity already present in the dark, quiet town. This district bordered both the lighter First District, where newborn Keybladers roamed, and the darker Third District, consumed primarily by Heartless and tricky charades of which most people chose to steer clear of.

Two black boots stepped out of the dark portal, one right after the other. The cloaked figure they carried glided smoothly across the dark blue streets, its lithe body and easy gait could have easily been mistaken for a Vampire’s.

The black cloak was one of thirteen; a simple, yet elegant design that was tailored to the individual in a complimenting fashion. The intentions of the Organization, no matter the personality that represented it, held a uniting factor: The zealous lust to regain lost hearts. . . And that happened to be the fire beneath the Flurry this time around.

It didn’t take a lot of motivation for him to get things done, and waiting on Xemnas for his next assignment was taxing the last of his patience. He needed to get his heart; and that meant taking matters into his own hands.

So the objective was simple: Find a Keyblader. Once the key-kid was found, they’d be towed away to Castle Oblivion and transitioned into Xemnas’ hands. This would be a win-win situation. He could get closer to having his heart, and at the same time do as little work as possible.

The thought brought a smirk to his pallid, veiled face, twisting at his cheek-paint as the expression deepened.

Both arms reached up to hammock his head as thte Nobody assumed an easy stroll. Despite his relaxed appearance, his Sea Green eyes were sharp. Now, where would he find a Key Bearer?

[xavier]

( I know you're looking for a keyblade bearer but the things says 'Open to all' which includes non-keyblade people. So yeah here come Violet. )

Violet wandered around the 2^ed district. She had nowhere to go and she didn't want to go anywhere until she found her brothers and parents. She rounded a corner and saw a figure. Normally she wouldn't get scared just by seeing a figure but, this one was different. He was wearing a long black coat matching what she had heard about 'Organization XII' she gasped sharply and turned herself invisible. 'At least I didn't wear my normal clothes, she thought. And it was good she didn't wear her 'street clothes' as she called them, because if she had then it would have appeared as if some clothes were floating across the plaza.

She walked sorta fast toward the man but staying behind him, she inhaled deeply and decided to speak. "H-hey how come the Organization is in Traverse Town?" She asked in a shaky voice happy that he could not see her.

[Era]

((Ooc: Nah. I asked for a surprise. This is exactly what I wanted. ^_~))

The itching feeling of another's presence had been with Axel since his arrival. He knew he wasn't completely alone, but the feeling was dismissed as a Heartless. That was, until a voice came with it.

Jade green eyes locked onto the direction of the voice, but they could not trace physical evidence of a person -- Somebody or Nobody, and thus it was best to presume her a Heartless. Still, he couldn't have been sure, but the voice didn't really relate to any Heartless he'd been acquainted with before. . . But what else could meld so perfectly with the shadows, unless it were a shadow iteself?

His hands smoothely slid down to his sides, nonchalantly curling into fists. The person expected him to spill plans about his reasons for being here. . . How stupid did she think he was? Even if she didn't directly ally herself, whoever she was, with the Heartless, he couldn't see an adequate reason for absentmindedly blurting out such information, it wasn't like she made obvious connection with the enemy. Yet. Perhaps she was only an innocent town girl, and her reason for hiding in the shadows just a heavy dose of shyness.

The truth was a sticky subject, and a dangerous one to spread to strangers. Thus, the next best thing occured to the Flurry -- a lie. "Name's Axel," okay, so that was no lie. "And I uh. . ." he made an effort to slap those hands back into position behind his head. "came to enjoy the sights..." weak excuse, but his mind was already jumping to new ideas.

How did this outsider have such a clear knowledge of the Organization? She had recognized the cloak, obviously, and by deduction the redhead assumed that she knew their purpose, too.

Maybe he did have something to be suspicious of, after all.

(OCC: and here comes Marluixa, dun dun dunnnnnnn)

The Graceful Assassaian had been wondering around Traverse Town fr no purpose but to find something or someone who would be in fact useful and not a complete dissapointment like most of the people in his life. He sighed at how he and his fellow Organization members had failed to defeat and capture Sora and Riku.
"Bunch of weaklings if you ask me" Marluxia said to himself. He continued his stroll of the First District, when he found nothing that seemed useful he walked to the door leading to Second District. As sson as he entered the place he could sense Axel not to far off, "What could that oaf be doing here?" the Assassain asked himself. But he could also tell that Axel was just confronted by some unknown Light Walker who seemed to know of the Organization who shouldn't.
He walked over to the two and when he got close he heared the girl ask what the Organization was doing in Twilight Town, "Such a curious little girl isn't she" Marluxia said. This girl reminded him of Namine, how they both stammer and try and act brave when their scared...truley pathetic of both of them. He listened as Axel gave an obvious lie to the girl.
"Now, now Axel, you know it's rude to lie to people" Marluxia said sarcasticly, "Now why don't you tell this girl the REAL reason we are here" he said to Axel hopeing to get on his nerves while he moved to stand right next to the Flury of Dancing Flames. He then whispered in his ear, "You had better not be here for no reason".

[Era]

((Ooc: Welcome, Marluxia! I know it sort of breaks the post order, but I just had to reply. I'm glad you're both here. ;P))

The Graceful Assassin had done his job. First off, he came to interrupt the conversation he wasn't really a part of, and second, of course, there was that personal bubble he just had to infiltrate. Not to mention that another member of the Organization here at all meant one of two bad things:

One: They were also wondering Traverse Town and delighted in little more than irritating the Flurry, even this far out from the Castle. Yes, his blasted persistant Comrades had been guilty of such impish acts before, or;

Two: Xemnas had a mission for them after all, which would've totally defeated the purpose of him travelling here alone and capturing himself a keybearer. Recent missions from Xemnas, though Axel had never had first-hand experience with them, involved porting to other worlds and mindless chases or attempts at taking the Hearts of those Worlds. Either was fairly futile in comparison to what a Key Bearer would be capable of.

In addition, finding a new Key-Kid meant Roxas would probably be off the hook.

Whatever route Marluxia's arrival would steer his plan, he wouldn't let it get too far out of hand. Now, to address the Nobody that was practically breathing down his neck.

As soon as Marluxia spoke, sharp green eyes shot toward him with acerbic precision. Immediately he was hatching a new plan. After all, keeping his brethren at an arms-length meant more levrage for him. . . And Axel wasn't about to have it any other way.

Leaning to the opposite side of the eerily-close Nobody, a knee-jerk reaction to anyone who would've come so close so suddenly, he opened his mouth to speak. "Well, sorry to disappoint ya Pinky," the lithe redhead executed one swift roll out of Marluxia's way, keeping his hands in their lazy position behind his head.

Dusty green eyes settled back on the mess of shadows he'd guessed the girl were hiding behind. "--But that's exactly why I'm here." his eyes closed to emphasize the fact he were about to add an additional statement. "Xemnas pushes us all too hard, I mean, can't a guy get a little relaxation before throwing some more missions our way? I think we all deserve a week of vacation," pale lips jutted slightly to the side as he played it up.

Everyone loved an actor, especially if they could perform under pressure as well as he did.

(OOC: SOOOOOOOOOOO Sorry for being late I have Semi good reasons lol. First I got stuck with school work and then after that for some reason I could have sworn I had already posted I guess this was mostly due in part to my STARTING posts but not finishing them. And third For the holidays I was at my Dad's house where I barely got onto the computer so yeah I'm REALLY SORRY!!!!. And here is my post ^^)

When she heard the voice Violets blue eyes shifted to the source. It was another member of the Organization. This scared Violet more then she already was and her powers 'hiccuped' for a few seconds and she became visible. Then she was invisible again, though she was sure one or both of them had seen her. "Oh no..." She thought taking a step back away from the two men and then standing her ground. If they hadn't seen her she would give them a hint in any way.

When she was sure her voice would break when she spoke she took a deep breath and look back up at the duo. "Your not gonna give me an answer are you....at least not one that has a hint of truth.' Violet said a small smile creeping onto her invisible face. "And anyways I doubt this Xemness guy would let his henchmen wonder the worlds so I'm pretty sure you guys are here on a mission of some kind." Violet said. Her knowledge of Org XIII was limited if not non-existent. Violet sighed softly and then focused her Blue eyes on to the Nobodies, waiting for a reply.

(Hope this is good. And Sorry again ^^)

[sulcal]

((What? You thought that Xemnas would be here? Well... you'd be kinda wrong there. I have two characters (soon to be one) stationed in Traverse. But Violet be right. Xemnas WILL deal with you two later. >>;

But I'm also EXTREMELY irked how Violet might have come across knowledge of a a SECRET organization that, aside from the Committee, a few others, and Sora, Donald, and Goofy, no one else should really know about.))

Rude listened. And he watched. It was often what he did around this town, other than work. With the new addition to a base of operation, and Reno... well... being Reno (he'd come around to his senses eventually), things seemed to be getting... slightly easier. More settled, making more sense. Granted, there wasn't a lot that could be done.

Other than keep on his toes.

He'd been out, really, just to have himself a smoke. Rude didn't do it often, much less in large quantities, but hey, coincidences were what they were for a reason, right? He'd been there from the beginning, mingling in with the crowd, if there was much of any in this particular district., slipping into a near by alley way so as to remained unnoticed. It wasn't hard. People these days were idiotic like that. Lacked, in Rude's opinion, any true sense of common intelligence if some members of some weird group were trying to remain secretive. Failing miserably at it wasn't something any Turk would do.

Information was information, though. One who was well informed would better survived, and, more importantly, work.

So Rude stayed inconspicuous, finishing off his cigarette, keeping his ears and eyes on the situation.

If anyone was expecting Rude to come barreling in, fists at the ready, they had better not be holding their breath. He was fine with keeping hidden. He wasn't stupid to give himself away such as the two Nobodies. That was that, simply enough.

Hmmm... seemed like things were getting interesting.

[Era]

((My turn to be late.))

Interesting didn't even begin to sum it up. Crazy. Awkward. Strange? Anything to describe how he felt but just plain interesting.

Now Axel had never really been extremely good at concealing things -- except about his true intentions. That fact alone only seemed to make circumstances that much stranger. Moreover, however this young, slender female was privied to so much of the Organization's secretive information.

She didn't seem persuaded by his facade... Not like that fact was going to change how he reacted. It was, as it always had been for Axel: a part of the game. And the Flurry never lost.

His arms shifted to cross over his chest for emphasis, slightly less than a pout. "Why's somethin' always gotta be wrong? Can't we just live without always being scrutinized for something?" it wasn't much, but it was enough to get the point across, and hopefully just enough to get the girl off his back.

(Epic late post)

Invisibility? What an interesting ability to have, Marluxia thought to himself as the girls powers shorted out for a second. Though he is called the Graceful ASSASSIN, Marluxia lacked certain traits an assassin would have. But what really concerned him now was that this child knew of the Organization, and of Xemnas above all. How would she have come across this information was probably something that neither Marluxia or Axel would figure out. Since the girl seemed to have some curiosity about them, why not peak that curiosity some more?

"So it is the truth you seek child? Why do you search for something so hard to come by these days. It is much like loyalty, easy to give, but not easy to live up too" Marluxia said to the girl while giving a slight glance at Axel at the word Loyalty. Ironic is it not. Marluxia tried to overthrow the Organization, but heckles Axel for his doings. But a mission...not so much. Xemnas has sorta severed the ties with the rest of the Nobodies at the current moment. But that doesn't mean that they aren't out in the worlds doing their own "chores". As for Marluxa, he had to train Mars back to full strength if he is to continue his campaign to take over the Organization. However Marluxia got the feeling that something was about to happen, he lent over to Axel and said, "Keep your eyes and ears open, I think we may have a hidden guest".

[xavier]

(Late. Sorry for some weird reason my brain told me that it was Leon's turn. But now that I look I noticed that it's my turn. My bad or.... my BRAIN'S bad XD.)

Violet looked around, Violet was unsure but she felt that she had said too much about the little bit she had known. How had she stumbled upon this information? one might ask. The answer: pure luck, Violet had gone out for an invisible walk and while she was walking she had caught some members of org XIII talking about things, including Xemness. Who was Xemness really? Violet had no idea what so ever, but the way they had talked about him made him seem like the leader. And if Violet learned anything from her dad it was to trust no one at least until you knew them well.

Violet brought her mind back to the present, she had to keep her mind off of anything that would make her loose control of her powers. Violet thought of what the pink haired one said before speaking softly, "You have no idea what I'm searching for...." Violet thought back to her family, lost somewhere among the stars. Violet didn't realize it but, she phased back into their sights, everyone could see her. Thinking about her family made her lose her focus and now she was exposed.

(Okay so reason for random story: I sorta posted from the PoV of a KH gamer instead of someone IN KH. Sorry I hope this sorta makes it better )

[sulcal]

Hidden guest? Aside from the air they were talking to?

Rude found that rather hard to believe, but he knew when to keep himself guarded. He reached, slowly, for his protective gloves, still listening in, ready to either run, or defend himself.

This was their matter, not his. This is not the "hidden guest" you're looking for, sorry-- his large frame rested more firmly against the alley way wall behind him, the side of a building as any, and that was enough to sink him deeper into shadows, but keep his view and vantage point.

[fearonaris]

Fearon appeared in a flash of light from his gummi ship, and instantly looked down... once again the ground rushed toward him.

"D**m gummi transporter." He cursed as he fell. He fell, grasping for something, anything to stop his descent. Then he landed, on his back, in the middle of a group of three. He sat up rubbing the back of his head.

"Gotta get that thing fixed, this's the third time in a role." He said, then lookedd at his surroundings. Two guys in black coats and a young girl, each on looking at him. He stood, and looked the two Nobodies in the face. One had Red hair, and another...pink.

"I'm Fearon." He said putting a hand on his chest. "Hope I'm not inturrupting anything." He spun on his heel to the young girl.

"And who may you be?" Fearon asked, then he suddenly smelled smoke, and he looked over to an alley, "Does anyone smell cigarette smoke?"

(WHOA WHOA!! How does your character know of Marluxia? Any information of Organization XIII would have been a very close kept secret. I even read your characters profile. It doesn't mention even the faintest thing of the Organization. Much less who is in it. So untill this is sorted out I wont reply to this thread or the one you replied to in "A new beginning". I just hope I dont have to go to Leon about this.)

[Era]

(From what I can see, this character accidentally stumbled into the scene we built because his ship's transporter malfunctioned, and by the looks of it, "Two guys in black coats ", "Hope I'm not inturrupting anything"....

Far as I'm concenred, the RPer's done a great job of making his character just happen to be on the scene. Never mentioned knowing the Organization, just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Post looks fine to me.)

(The post was edited. The situation was taken care of. It looks like YOU came in at the wrong time Axel. Lol.) (I'll edit my posts later)
