show them the joy and the pain and the ending

[Looks like someone's in a bad mood today.

Despite the risk of Ri finding her alone, Larxene left Akane with a babysitter and headed over to a main area near one of the gardens. She can't seem to sit still: she's up and wandering about that general area as if she's looking for something.

Or rather, someone. The simulation room is amusing enough, but today she'd much rather have the real thing. Larx especially hopes to catch a Riku or Marluxia off guard, although she isn't complaining if the opportunity to play with someone else presents itself...]

((itp: DC tries to play Larx *properly* for a change))

...Larxene?

[look someone to make your bad mood even worse he's a bit hesitant; he wants to check in on her, but he's pretty sure she doesn't want to see him.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[eyes him with irritation.]

I got your note.

[captive_destiny]

[He's making his way past her quickly with a basket of laundry, not meeting her eyes. Though he doesn't remember ever encountering a Larxene before, he's certainly heard of them. That, and her being of the Organization has him wary.]

[regalheart]

That's- good. Have you been doing alright? Where's Akane?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Fine. With Axel. You were wrong, by the way-- he was happy to help.

[regalheart]

[that gets a sigh out of him and he runs a hand through his hair.]

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me, considering the alignment change turns me into a lying asshole.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Riku~

[he picked a bad time to meet his first one.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[She's worried about things with Axel anyway, but she's hardly willing to say that to Kai.]

At least you admit it.

[captive_destiny]

[He almost, almost makes a break for it. Experience has taught him running away only makes things worse though, so when she calls his name he stops, turning so his back isn't to her.]

... Yes?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I was hoping one of you would show up. Come here.

[regalheart]

I'll freely admit that switching me from light to dark will turn me into an asshole. Ever met my gemini?

[captive_destiny]

[That sends alarms going off in his head, and he doesn't move an inch. He stands up a little straighter, lifting his chin so his collar and tags are proudly on display.]

I don't have to listen to you.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

No.

[The only Gemini she's met... didn't really count as such actually, and then his counterpart killed her.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

What's with these?

[advances to get a closer look at the tags]

Someone collar you like their little puppy?

[regalheart]

You don't want to. Imagine who I was then, then take away any sign of morals or sympathy for any living or not quite living being, and add in a very large sadistic streak.

[captive_destiny]

[He'll stand his ground, having gained a new confidence he hasn't had in quite a while.]

I'm not a puppy.

[Even if his room still says Pet]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Oh, really.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Kai and Axel... well, well. Didn't think that'd be his taste in pets.

[regalheart]

Yeah, really. He's not capable of positive emotion, just negative, and gets off on breaking people.

[captive_destiny]

They're better masters than I think you could ever be.

[He knows what he is; her needling him about it isn't likely to intimidate him. He is however, still keeping that laundry basket between them.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Enjoying it would be a positive emotion.

[regalheart]

"Gets off" as in turns him on. You know, that thing that's just chemical, not emotional.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

You assume I'm interested.

[grabs the side of the laundry basket facing her, trying to yank it away from him]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Still.

[she's confused enough about how her own "emotions" work, okay.]

[captive_destiny]

[He's already stepping back when he sees her reaching for it, holding onto it tightly before suddenly letting go. Now he'll make a break for it, when she's preoccupied.]
