you could say it's a lie, say it's not so

[Larxene comes to slowly. Once it clicks with her that she's not dead anymore, she processes the rest of the pertinent facts one by one:

1) She's not dead.

2) Even so, she feels like death warmed over. Not surprising, considering what the DR had to rebuild her from.

3) Akane is nowhere in sight.

4) She's not in the hallway where it happened, but face down on a couch in some other room.

5) This is unfortunate, since the DR magic didn't rebuild her clothes.

She sighs and sits up, looking around for something to cover herself with until she's ready to make a portal.]


((ooc: Saïx happened. Heart also happened, but I'm not getting rid of it after two weeks this time because I play her like she has one anyway...))

[have a blanket being dropped on you, Larxene, by someone who is holding your child!]

Welcome back.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Huh? Oh. Thanks.

[frowns, adjusting the blanket]

How long was I out?

[regalheart]

Little over a week.

[here, have a kid.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[she accepts Akane, who immediately clings to her because omg she was totally gone forever!]

Great.

[Her chest feels funny. Heavy.]

[regalheart]

[he's not going to mention the thing he senses in there; he figures it'll be better for her to discover it on her own.]

Much as you might hate Saix, I'd suggest leaving him alone next time. I'm sure you noticed how off he is right now.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[glares.]

I'm not stupid.

[regalheart]

Could've fooled me. You did get killed, after all.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

He was a total zombie until that happened! I didn't think he had any brain left!

[regalheart]

But you took the chance anyway for petty revenge.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Who wouldn't? He deserved it! You don't know half of what he's done!

["No?" Akane associates mommy yelling with someone being in trouble.]

[regalheart]

[he just raises an eyebrow. really, Larxene? really? you think Kai doesn't know all the shit Psycho has pulled and will pull over the years?]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[She's not totally rational right now.]

What's that look for?!

[regalheart]

Whether he deserved it or not, I would have thought you to be more capable of caution because of what's happened to you in the past. You had your child with you, and you didn't even think Saix might have had some sort of protection going on?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I know where I fucked up and I don't need a princess to tell me.

[regalheart]

You know where you fucked up, but you never learn from it.

[no comment on the princess thing; that stopped bothering him ages ago.]

[Nocturne's thought process upon walking into the room goes like this:

Hoooly shit, Larxene.

Hoooly shit, naked Larxene. That's, uh, new. He's going to make sure he's not staring while he figures out whether to run away or offer to help.

Larxene is going to see what is to all appearances a Demyx in a rather loud Hawaiian shirt. Who is going to approach while staring rather fixedly at the wall at eye level, which puts his gaze a ways above Larxene.]

You, uh, need some help?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Kai. The day I had her, he tried to kill us both for something Ro- for something some other idiot did. If getting back at him for that is "petty," I'd hate to know what he has to do before it's justified.

[smirks]

But then again, you wouldn't understand anyway.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

No.

[lies back down. The couch can hide her assets as well as anything else.]

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Okay, let me rephrase that. You need someone to find you some clothes?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Says the guy dressed like that?

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

Well, you've just proved why I wear shirts like this. But you've got to get some somehow. Besides, it's not like I'd stick you in one of these. You'd look ridiculous, and anyway I think all of mine are too big for you.

[Considering she's even shorter than he is, i.e. an actual reasonable height as opposed to absurdly tall like half the Organization.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I was just about to go get my own.

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

All right, fine. Geez, you try to help somebody...

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

You expected more?

[nocturncoat.livejournal.com]

I expected you to jump at the chance to make someone else do it and save yourself the effort, actually.
