[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*]]

Oh, that might be fun! I could really impress my siblings.

[assuming Kira doesn't just end up flinging the cards all around the room]

[Well at least she won't have trouble learning 52 Pick-Up.]

I'm thinking a couple of basic trick shuffles would be the best place to start, to get the right motions down, then some basic tricks that can use those. Since you'll need to practice a bit before you can really get at the speed tricks and there's a lot you can do just by knowing how people work.

Would you prefer to sit here or should we find a table?

[that's one trick she knows well]

I think we should find a table. I'm clumsy and we could set down our lights to free up our hands.

Kitchen? Or do you have a more suitable location in mind?

The kitchen sounds fine. And it's bound to be brighter in there, right?

I don't see why it would be since the lights are out everywhere, but it would certainly do for what we have in mind either way.

[Not that he goes into or uses kitchens terribly often to really know. To say nothing of his perception of light and dark getting a bit odd due to consistent exploitation of his night vision.]

Well, it gets a lot of traffic, right? People are bound to have lit it up somehow, to find food and stuff.

[Kira knows that her Daddy lit up their house well everything he could get his hands on, but then again, the house is full of very small toddlers who don't like the dark]

Makes sense, I suppose.

[He likes to pretend humans don't do that whole 'eating food' thing, because he finds it gross.]

Shall we go then?

Uh huh!

[Kira will look around, then head in the direction she knows a kitchen is in]

So what were you doing, Mister Luxord?

Exploring.

[~~Read as: feeding and listening to the voices in his head and doing as they command.~~
Naturally he'll follow without much fuss, if she hadn't picked one he'd have had no trouble sniffing one out.]

I'm usually rather restricted in when and where I can be up and about.

Because you can't be in sunlight, right? Too bad you aren't the sparkly type of vampire, because then it wouldn't bother you.

For the most part.

You know, I never really understood why those sorts never just painted themselves human.

[Though, as a sparklepire he'd probably have have lost all semblance of humanity years ago.]

You mean, like, with makeup or something? I suppose you could use concealer over your face and wear long sleeves and stuff.

Something like that, it's possible to get longer lasting stuff meant for covering scars and birthmarks so it's not exactly like it would even be a daily hassle to fake.

Blokes like me, we can just snap our fingers and look as human as we like. Even those who can't manage that have ways of blending in with a crowd. Which is what raises the question: why whinge about not blending in if you can't even be bothered with even the most basic effort to do so?

[He hasn't actually read it, he just listened to people talk about it, for the record.]
