in every corner

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[there's a scream from down this hallway as some poor soul is consumed by the shadows -- not Heartless, simply moving shadows. as the last dying gurgle escapes the writhing mass, a figure rises out of it slowly, darkness rolling and dripping off him like smoke and water. the figure is fully dressed in dark leather; heavy boots, pants, and a lovely leather jacket with a black wifebeater beneath it. he breathes the darkness in, out, a slow and dangerous smile making its way onto his face as he takes in the sight of the hallway. a hand goes to his pocket, a cigarette is pulled out and put to his lips, lit with a flick of his other hand. he runs that hand through his dark blue hair afterward, red eyes bright with malicious intent.]

Well now... didja miss me, dressing room?

[that scream definitely has someone on high alert. Riku turns at the sound of a voice, his eyes narrowing.]

Who are you?

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

No one special.

[he takes a drag off his cigarette, stepping out of the remaining darkness. if Riku could see, he'd see how it clings to him even as he moves away from the mass, as though it doesn't want him to leave. his voice does sound an awful lot like Kai's; Riku can probably easily pick out the difference in how they speak, however.]

[see it, no. but he can definitely smell it, and it makes his nose wrinkle at the scent. something does seem off, but there's a good chance it could be a spell.]

Kai? Since when do you smoke?

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm just a different version of the one you probably know. I noticed the last time I was here that I'm not exactly one of the majority when it came to cancer sticks.

[he can work with this. oh, he can work with this, what a nice welcome back present.]

I should not be as happy as I am to see this guy back. XD

[wonthurtyouyet.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely.

[That Namine wasn't there a moment ago was she? Yet she doesn't seem disturbed by the show. In fact, she almost looks excited by it.]

Thing's should be much more interesting with you back..

I've been meaning to bring him back for a little while now.

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[of course he knows what she's talking about. that smug fucking smirk says it all, really.]

Gem is one of my favorite sadists. ^^

[wonthurtyouyet.livejournal.com]

If you say so...

[Smirks right back. She's not intimidated. No matter what he could do to her, she's not bothered. She'd probably enjoy it. And even without the DR, death isn't permanent for her. So she remains overconfident.]

Still, if there's anything I can do to make things easier for you, just let me know.

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[he's not trying to intimidate her. and really, he's not going to try anything with her either; he tortures to break people, and that's it.]

Thanks, but no thanks. I like to do things on my own.

*tiny!Replica has rushed into the hallway, hoping for a Heartless fight... but looks quite disappointed to see you and now anything fun*

... darn.

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

Expecting something?

[okay so he knows exactly what tinyRi was expecting but whatever.]

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

I thought there was a Heartless here to fight.

*alas so trusting tiny!Replica*

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

There might still be one nearby.

[The scream got this girl's attention as she was on her way back to her room for a shower after some martial arts practice. Looking around as she steps into the hall she looks around a little worriedly.]

Hello?

[then she spots the man at the end of the hall and tilts her head a bit.]

Was that you?

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

Was what me?

[no sign of darkness or anything here, nope.]

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[She looks around, pulling her braid over her shoulder and combing her fingers through the loose hair at the end.]

That scream I heard?

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

Didn't hear any scream, sorry.

[he takes a drag off the cigarette, making a show of looking down each end of the hallway.]

Maybe you were hearing things.

[f1re0nthesun]

[will just. stay out of sight around the corner, and flatten a hand against the wall, flames flickering up around it and spreading rapidly until all surfaces of the hall Gem is in are ablaze, and getting swiftly closer to him.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but I've already got a light.

[he looks toward where the fire originated from and then darkness abruptly closes around him in a dome before sinking to the floor, taking him with it. now what, Axel?]

[f1re0nthesun]

[makes a disgusted noise and turns back the way he just came, heading back down the hall at a brisk walk, senses on red alert in case Gem tries to ambush him.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

[Roxas heard that scream from down the hallway and came running immediately, skidding to a halt when he sees GemKai there.]

Damn it, why are you back?

[Flames erupt from his palms immediately.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

Now that's not very nice, is it?

[he looks so unconcerned about the fire.]

[f-iery.livejournal.com]

Look who's talking.

[It's really only there in case Gem decides to attack him. He's not planning on starting any fights.]

[unforgivenskies.livejournal.com]

[and there's a Sora skidding around the corner, his Keyblade appearing in a flash when he sees there's someone in the hall. the sound of that scream practically raised the hair on his neck.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[he is oh so relaxed, leaning against the wall and taking a drag off his cigarette. Sora gets a raised eyebrow.]

[unforgivenskies.livejournal.com]

[he looks pretty wary, and is holding his Keyblade out in front of himself, crouched down a bit in case of an attack.]

Hey! Did you hear a scream from over here?
