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?

[will just. take a shortcut and track Kai down and hopefully get there first. -_- this day is not going at all like I wanted it to.]

[seasides]

[you can get there first, Axel! though he will be rather distracted, bothering Apricot with a long piece of grass. :3]

[f1re0nthesun]

[gnnnngh. marches right up to them.]

Hey, your Gemini is an asshole and I'm pretty sure he's looking for you because I wasn't interested in putting out for him, so we should get the hell out of here.

[seasides]

[freezes, looking up at him with wide eyes.]

W-What?

[f1re0nthesun]

[rubs the back of his neck, and then holds out a hand to help him up.]

Yeah, in retrospect, I probably should have just kept his attention and done whatever, but it's too late now. If we're together and know that he's coming, we can take him.

1/2 8)

[seasides]

[scoops the bun up, wondering what to do with him, and takes Axel's hand.]

Yeah, we can... when did he even get back?

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

Oh, very recently, I'd say.

[WHEN DID THAT SHADOW GET THERE he's rising out of it now, all dramatic-like, exhaling some cigarette smoke.]

[f1re0nthesun]

[looks bored and annoyed, and definitely unconcerned.]

Yeah, he'd have been bugging the shit out of us a lot sooner otherwise.

[seasides]

[steps closer to Axel, a little behind him; Gem makes him nervous for many reasons, and though he knows he can fight the man, he doesn't want to go anywhere near him.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[he lets out a short, harsh laugh at Kai's reaction, suddenly lunging forward, darkness spear-like around him.]

[f1re0nthesun]

[drops Kai's hand so he has both available, and throws up a wall of fire in front of them, the flames so hot and dense that they're almost white.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[he stops short of the fire and darts to the side, around it and toward Kai.]

[f1re0nthesun]

[it's not that easy, mister. I've trained and learned some new tricks since you were last here. P: tracks the movement and brings his hands almost all the way together, super-heating the air around Gem until it makes a nice fire-less explosion, hopefully enough to stun him.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[it stuns him, but the darkness immediately swarms him and pulls him into the ground. did you think that was all him?]

[f1re0nthesun]

[...maybe a little. :|a takes Kai's arm and pulls him closer, where Axel can be in the way of any attack from somewhere behind them, and keeps his eyes on the spot where Gem vanished.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[Kai will be holding onto Axel like his life depends on it while Gem emerges somewhere out of sight. DARK, SPIKY DEATH FROM ABOVE!]

[f1re0nthesun]

[the fuck did you come out of up there? I was under the impression that we were somewhere vaguely outside. :|a senses impending doom a second before it's too late and hauls Kai out of the way, not stopping there just in case the spikes follow them or another attack comes or something.]

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[what, he's not up there, it's just darkness. in fact, time to prove he's not up there, because he's coming from the opposite direction of the spikes!]

[f1re0nthesun]

[...what, underneath us? :B encloses himself and Kai in a bubble of fire, hands outstretched and stance low to keep it going. his voice is tense and more than a little distracted.]

Kai, you have to snap out of it and help me here, you can do way more against him than I can.

1/2

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[no, you doof, the spikes started following from ground level /should have been more specific. he stops again, standing outside the fire with his arms crossed. he looks way too smug right now.]

[seasides]

...right. R-Right, sorry.

[he's still keeping a very confused and freaked out bun to his chest, but he adds a shield of Light under the fire bubble, just so he can have a bit more time to shake himself out of it.]

[f1re0nthesun]

[will wait a minute until Kai's got more of a grip on things before he drops the fire, mostly so they can see what Gem's up to. also wtf does Gem have to look smug about. not being able to hit them?]

1/2

[reverse-prince.livejournal.com]

[well, it probably gets even more confusing as he reaches out and places his hand firmly on the shield. there's a hiss of searing flesh from his hand for a moment...]

[seasides]

[and the shield abruptly drops as Kai screams, scrambling to let go of Apricot and move backwards, tears springing to his eyes as he holds his burnt hand out away from him to keep from catching it against his clothing.]

[f1re0nthesun]

[manages to prioritize and leaps at Gem, wrestling him to the ground and pinning him there.]

Nice trick, sunshine. Lemme guess, if I kill you, he goes too, right?
