[Xigbar's not really had much need for lighting in all this darkness, what with being able to see in the dark and all. When the lights went out, he went hunting. Not that that was much different from any other day, but with the other chaos from the monsters and all the people completely blind in the darkness it was perfect.

Since the lights hadn't come back he'd not seen a reason to stop reveling in the mayhem potential.

While he's keeping himself busy creeping through the halls snuffing any torches or lanterns and crushing battery powered lighting hard working DR residents have put up to better navigate the halls, he's still got an eye out for something to chase. Like say, for example, you.]

[Meanwhile, on a less aggressive note.
 

 

Luxord has largely stopped seeing much call for sleep without a sunrise to knock him out each morning.
 

 To say nothing of how hellish the schedule is for those who've the misfortune to be among his pets right now.
 

 The biggest downside is that this has exponentially increased how much blood Luxord needs. Not that this is a particularly huge problem. With such an abundance of time on his hands, there's plenty of time for feeding while still having room on the schedule for socialising and engaging his own little games.

 

While he doesn't need the light to see, today he's keeping torch on hand and sticking to 'safer' hallways for the greatly reduced the risk of errant fireballs and unintended frenzies ruining his day, or evening, whichever it was.
 

 It also had the benefit of making him slightly less suspicious that those that chose to lurk about in the dark. Useful little things like carrying a torch he didn't really need, or presenting as less than able to defend himself from things in the dark that made him seem a less threatening or maybe even approachable sort when he went looking for someone that wandered off from the herd.

Dinner, conversation, maybe a bit of both.]

[[ooc: two-for-one post since I'm no longer as hideously ill as I was when the event post went up,

Xigbar will probably be violent no matter what but it's up to you how far that goes. Maybe some people may want some 'words' with him given some of his activites with cetain Soras and Rikus but... yeah, good luck with that.

 

Luxord will flipflop between hunting, mayhem and chitchat based on whether he knows the people thrown at him and if you personally feel sadistic.*cough*you know who you are*cough*]]

[Luxord's mind is simply buzzing from the very nature of his vampirism, It's not necessarily Larxene herself that pulls his attention to her, but once it's there. Well, we'll just say he'd like to play a game shall we?

But not immediately of course, first he needs her attention. For which he creeps up an entirely socially acceptable level close.]

What seems to be the trouble luv?

[twelfthspark]

[His voice startles her, and she jumps slightly. Dude sure came up quietly.]

Everything.

[gameofpretend]

[Yeah, he does that, it's a curse. At least he presents somewhat friendly and not an organization coat in sight, right?]

Want to talk about it at all?

[twelfthspark]

[Luxord's fairly inoffensive as Organization coats go, but fair enough.]

Not really.

[gameofpretend]

Fair enough. While strangers can be easier to talk to it'd be terribly impolite to simply expect sharing.

[Luxord shrugs.]

Perhaps a distraction or stress relief is more in order.

[As he's talking he's already pulling at her mind, since he can't read it nor add or remove things, he's starting simple, shifting emotional restraint to see what comes up (if anything at all.) If it takes, a random emotion should exaggerate drastically. If it doesn't, well, he has new information to play with.]

this may not be *drastic* but eh at least I finally came up with something

[twelfthspark]

[Larxene experienced more than her share of mental manipulation (hi argeneaufire) last time she was in the DR. She isn't aware of what's going on, but he might meet some subconscious resistance. It's not enough to stop him though.

Fear and anger are her most frequent emotions and the easiest to draw on.]

What do you want?

[She was just annoyed before. Now she's alarmed, and she doesn't know why: usually, Luxords don't register as a threat. Watching him warily, she takes a step back. Her free hand curls as though she were gripping her knives, though she doesn't summon them yet.]

drastic is a matter of perspective, you can botch dice roll for anything

[gameofpretend]

[Luxord's eyebrows raise a bit, as if he's surprised by the change as he reads her physical demeanor. It's a far better starting point than coming in cold and hoping for the best. Something to exploit when he starts the real game, but if it still fails, well, at least he'll have a bite to eat after.]

Nothing I don't already have in spades luv. I'm just making suggestions.

[Lies, utterly baffling doublespeak or the cobwebs? Who knows? Does it really matter all that much?]
