fire and explosion+

[ What's a girl to do after finding a little stash of flour, twenty pounds worth?

Make it go boom, of course. All she needed was: twenty pounds of flour, a match, sterno fuel, several empty cans of coffee, and a gun. The oven is set to three hundred and fifty degrees. When all is well, wait for a few seconds before --

Oh dear, there goes part of the kitchen. Gotta love science. ]

[Holy crap what was that boom sound? She saw that kitchen door go flying off.

Carefully approaches the doorway and peeks in, waving some smoke from her face.] Uh.. is everything okay in there?

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

[ There was someone there, who looked as if she had a flour fight with someone -- not that she was as white as a ghost, but it was obvious with some parts so ivory in color compared to the black of her coat, and that bit of tan on her skin.

She looked back towards Kairi -- hello, hello. Ex-princess. She won't say anything. ] Better than okay. I call success.

[colorfulhues.livejournal.com]

[The coat set her off first, and it dictated that she wasn't setting foot past that doorway.] But it blew up. Why would you call that a success?

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

Because I wanted to make twenty pounds of flour explosive, and it worked.

[colorfulhues.livejournal.com]

[... Well that's just weird. Does remind her of science classes back on the Islands but.. ]

It certainly did, I guess. [Just looks around the kitchen a little, making a slight frown over the gigantic mess.] You're going to clean up now that you were 'successful', right?

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

After I try it with a bit of flash powder -- you might need this.

[ Where did those safety goggles come from? Wherever it did, II hands it over to Kairi. ] And they say science isn't fun.

[colorfulhues.livejournal.com]

[The surprise goggles made her jump almost, before cautiously taking them with a mumbled 'thanks'. Kairi was raised to be polite, after all.]

.. So why are you doing this? [Not about to wait until she gets blinded though, and putting on those goggles, though still not going any further from the doorway.

She still has no idea who this is, but that coat is definitely an Organization one.]

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

Because I haven't done things like this for a long, long time. I didn't get to toy with this back in the castle. [ As II knows about the alternates, Kairi should know which castle, right? ]

I mean, I did, but not as much as I really get to use them.

[ She grabs a can full of white, sparkly powder, gets some of the flour, and it's mixing time. ] This isn't even black powder.

[colorfulhues.livejournal.com]

[Kairi's guessing the only castle she can think of.] I.. see. [Still playing it safe by the doorway, watches the mixing in action.]

I guess I assumed you could do whatever you wanted there.

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

What are the rules in a place with unlimited supplies, boundless locations and a regenerative state?

[ Science is on the way. One would expect the woman to be quite the messy person -- but she isn't. Not with this. Eventually, she'd finish, moving things inside the oven. Sets it. She warps herself beside Kairi after, then checks the clock. ]

[colorfulhues.livejournal.com]

[She just quirked her mouth down; even if supplies were unlimited and the room would fix itself, it isn't cool to just blow stuff up like this.

This time, she outright jumped and sidestepped a little at the sudden warp beside her, and slightly darted her eyes from the stranger to the concoction in the oven.]

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

Tell me, Kairi. [ Oh snap, she leans just a bit forward to look at the second oven. ] What do you know of your past before meeting Sora?

[colorfulhues.livejournal.com]

[Grips the doorway and keeps that frown, determined not to let her startle her like that again.] Why should I tell you?

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

Because, I gotta say...

[ BOOM. EXPLOSION. With very, very pretty fireworks. ]

You were cuter when you were younger. Red cheeks and the likes.

[colorfulhues.livejournal.com]

[At least this time she was expecting the explosion and didn't jump, but Kairi didn't duck fast enough and had a nice flop of flour all over her face and shirt.

The words were pretty surprising though, and snapped her attention back.]

Wha-- What are you talking about? I'm pretty sure I've never met you before. [Not just pretty sure, 100% sure.]

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

That's because the little princess met my male counterpart, not me.

[ She giggles, wiping her face from the flour. ]

And like I said: What do you remember before meeting Sora and Riku?

[colorfulhues.livejournal.com]

[Wiping some flour off her face, still can't help looking confused, a little concerned, and that frown lingered.]

.. To be honest, I don't remember anything before the Islands.

[.. She knew something, didn't she. Kairi wasn't exactly sure she wanted to hear it or not.]

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

Your grandmother was a very nice lady, did you know?

[ Oh yes, she did know something. ]

[colorfulhues.livejournal.com]

[Kairi didn't say anything at first, looking away. She remembered her grandmother, but only in the sense that she had one, and she was very kind.]

Yeah, I.. know that.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

[Gotta love it indeed, and there's an appreciative whistle from the doorway.]

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

She also made very good cupcakes. Do you remember that?

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

[ Flour-covered woman right here! But there's a reason for that.

She looks towards him, giving a pseudo-salute. ] Like the view?

[colorfulhues.livejournal.com]

I don't. [Curious, but not curious.]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Seems safe to say so, yeah.

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

I do. They were vanilla with butter cream frosting. Always placed the sprinkles for you.

[ She fixes her hair because flour. ]

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

[ Hair fix, the explosion pretty much blew it back like woah. ] There's still some flour, if you want a turn.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

[Grins]

I was hoping you'd say that.

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

It's all yours.

[ SHE WILL WATCH, of course. Let's see how bright her counterpart does his explosions. ]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

[There's another grin and a nod as he turns to the flour before... adding a few things to the mix.

How does he do his explosions? As bright as he can get them, of course. And if he can't get bright, he goes for big.]

[colorfulhues.livejournal.com]

[.. Now she wished she could remember those, they sounded good. Wipes more flour off her face.]

.. Who are you? [Kairi may have asked that, but what she was really asking is 'how do you know this?']

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

Someone who apparently knows more about your childhood than yourself.

[ SUCH A TROLL, but a truthful one as she goes inside the kitchen to open the fridge. She wanted to see if anything survived. ]

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

[ We hope Xigbar doesn't mind the other watching him mix up. ♥ ]

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

[Not at all~.

And with everything mixed, in it goes. One very nice explosion, coming up.]

[petalled.livejournal.com]

[ waits until the smoke settles and then looks in, because oh my god, what the hell. ]

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

[ What, this is awesome. Once it clears out, there revealed a Xigbar with some parts of her covered in flour. Instead of coughing? She was laughing.

And then she spots Marluxia. II waved towards her direction all 'Like it?' ]

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

[ It's gorgeous. b') Xigbar clapped her hands. ]

Don't you just love these things?

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

[He offers a grin at that.]

You really have to ask?

[shootingdown.livejournal.com]

You never know.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Except when you're talking to yourself?
