Housewarming Shindig

[To celebrate the fact that he's neither dead or dying yet, and has found not only a room, but a roommate, Axel gets the mad idea to throw a housewarming for his...room. it's not exactly the biggest space for such a venue--but he hasn't given a damn yet, so why not?

Setting out a few bags of nachos and some chilled cans of soda on the desk next to his crappy radio that doesn't-work-and-only-plays-the-one-cd-he-owns-here, he steps back and give a nod. Now only if they had some dip and jello--maybe a few hamburgers, they'd be set. Hell, tonight maybe he's even give his roomie a whiskey shot or two like he promised.

But another awful flyer is tacked out on door, advertising the whole ordeal. Thankfully though, all of the conspiracy flyers have vanished...]

[ooc: his room actually has a floor plan. omg.]

What're you doing?

Celebrating. [tosses him a soda] I'm not dead am I? So why not?

[catches] Why would you be dead?

Explosion. Dragons. Bald guys. Male-Larxenes. You name it--Cube or not, this place is still a deathtrap.

Hello, mister.

[sksajgeskj]

Hey kid. Back for more or something?

More of what?

Uh...fun times. Or something. [changes the track of the cd playing and tosses the kid a soda]

[grabs at it gleefully]

I like to play games, if that's what you mean, mister.

I'm outta games right now--unless you count 'sit on the egg' a game...

[chuckles and gives a shrug, motioning over to a large-ish green egg on his bed, resting in a nest of bedcovers.]

[ooc: auugh why isn't it hatching? *writhes* (http://dragcave.ath.cx/viewdragon/siDn)]

Oh you got one of those things too?

Yeah--can't get it to seem to want to come out of that shell though. Getting a little worried.

[He goes over to the bed and rotates the egg a little, then backs up to where he stood before]

Ehh, I'm sure she'll be fine. Until then... [he sighs and glances around]

--not much of a party, is it?

You need lots of people for a party, mister.

. . .

[breaks out his stack of paper and his markers]

You wanna play errand boy, kid? I'll make it worth your while. [hands him a few, advertising the celebration]

Okay mister.

Aright then! [ruffles the kid's hair]

Get to it!

[The halls still have been pretty empty but he saw a room open. That's when he felt his stomach growl. Great, NOW He's hungry. Approaching the room, he notices the sign and peeks in.

Better then His own mini room but still looked better lived in then most. Leaning against the doorway, He'd slowly enter in.]

"Anyone around?"

[Axel's head jerks up. Company! --that wasn't under five feet tall! Hurray!]

Come on in--it's a housewarming. My own personal congratulations for surviving this place for as long as I have.

[He steps over to his desk and tosses the newcomer a can of soda.] --we're still waiting on the dip for the nachos though, so if you want any, you'll have to go without the extra crap.

[Easily, he catches it and eyes the other carefully. He knew who it was. Axel. Number 8 of the Organization. Quite sure anyhow.. Regardless, he cracks its open, takes a bit sip, in which he coughs a bit cause of the bubbles got to him so quickly. Been awhile since he'd had Soda.]

"That's ok...So you know about this place. Where are we exactly?.."

[He walks over to the table to munch on some Nachos.]

The Dressing Room, [he can recite all of the information easily now. he's certainly done it enough these days.]

People come in, but not out. They're from all over. I'm guessing it's one of those weird split-dimension theories. You know--you have a decision and for each choice, there's a different dimension splitting off from it? --that sort of thing.

But regardless of how, they're here. [He grabs for the nacho bowl and pops a few down.]

Welcome to hell.

"..Sounds like something twisted DiZ would cook up depending.."

[Munching on a few more chips, He takes another swig of his soda.]

"So..there's NO way out of here..Only to hope that people from where you are from are somehow end up here?"

Something like that. But trust me--a lot of us have tried getting out. There's no doors out--no windows...spare for maybe a false sky over the greenhouse...

[He sighs, settling back on the bottom bunk of his bed.] --but I nearly blew myself up trying to blast a hallway open. The walls didn't give an inch. I'm usually the optimistic one here and I've just about given up.

But good luck on finding people. Hopefully you'll have more luck than I did...

"...Figures this would happen to me.."

[A bittersweet chuckle finds its way out as he rubs a temple.]

"Protecting Sora and Kairi from Ansem's Machine exploding--and wound up here...with Xeh Xeh.."

[Shaking his head, he takes another swig of his soda.]

"I NEED to get back..but how. There's no way if YOU can't get back, and you're usually the tricky one to get out of situations like these, Eight..Axel--whatever you go by.."

Axel's fine. [He gives a shrug, no longer surprised when strangers call him by name.]

--you're Riku, right? [The Riku he knows would have been his best friend's brother's fiance. Messy business, really. That Riku was in the FBI. It was almost nice being able to relax around that face.

But uh...what's a "Xeh Xeh"?

"Yeah....That's Right."

[He pauses in mid-sip of his drink]

"Dunno if you'll believe me, but he is the 'Darkness within me.' Can't get rid of him--thought I did before I got here...but it seems he tucked away and now, he's back to how he was. screwing with my mind, emotions and the like, to totally take over my body.."

[Axel raises an eyebrow] Sounds like a messy affair you've got on your hands there.

[Did Axel sound that crazy when he told people about the Cube? God--he hoped that wasn't the case...]

So, uh...Xeh Xeh... What's the look like? --or sound like rather? [Paranoid schizophrenic? Maybe... Axel hoped not. He didn't want to be the guy who hung around the kids, but kept crazy friends. Crazy Pedo. Nope. Not a title he wanted.]

"Lets see, TALL, decent built for his body structure, Mocha-ish skin. White hair, slicked back on the sides and top, flipped a bit at the ends but the rest down. Orange-ish eyes and he's a bit of a freak if you ask me.."

[He paused to see if he got a answer from him, but didn't which was good for the Heartless to keep quiet once in awhile.]

"He goes by Ansem, or WANTS to, but he's known as Xehanort's Heartless. Thus I call him Xeh Xeh, to tick him off and show he can't take me down too easily.."

[Oh yeah. This kid was off his rocker. It would be best just to play it cool for now...]

Well, regardless of the guy digging around in your no-nos--what are you gonna do now that you're here? I mean...ask and ye shall receive...the dressing room just sort of gives when you want. [he motions over to an open closet full of lace-up combat boots.]

I'm... [he pauses] --not too sure what I'm going to do. Blend in I guess. Lots of people seem to have done that without losing their minds. Guess it's not impossible.

"..Maybe cause they are content living trapped..but I'm not."

[Riku states and grabs some more nachos.]

"And if that's the case, then wouldn't we have dip for these chips by now? Like a Good Salsa cheese dip? warm and other various snack foods?"

Ah, that's the thing--if you want, you have to look. After everything I've been through lately, I think I deserve to be a lazy ass for a while. [he chuckles, grinning a bit.]

But I guess this is where I ask, since you seem so intent and all... [and his entire expression changes, posture and all as he looks up to the other. he's serious now, eyes like he could kill a man if you pressed him hard enough.]

I want out just as badly as you do.

Will you help me look for a way out?

[He'd just swallowed a chip after being asked the question. Taking a slow swig of his soda, He licks his lips and ponders but then Sea-Green meet Emerald Green in the same seriousness.]

"To get back to my friends---Yes."

[Axel nods, a smooth grin sneaking onto his face.]

Alright then. Consider me your new brother as it were. We're getting out.

[And that was that...until the song playing on Axel's cd-radio changed.] Hey! I love this one! [Some things never changed...]

"Erm...Right..."

[Riku decided to go and look outside the room for a moment...and there next to the door was the Dip he requested. It was still steaming too. Looking about, He picks it up and sets it on the table.]

"Dip's here.."

[He then lets out a burp and eyes Axel.]

"Blue..I mean Excuse me.."

[Axel's eyes widened and he grinned ear to ear.]

You...You sly bastard! You know the ga-- [and he stopped short, looking positively infuriated with himself.]

I lost the game.

[Riku blinks and laughs but pauses.]

"Damnit! I lost too!"

[He laughs regardless and eats a dipped chip.]

"Still..you gotta moan.."

Ugh...damnit... [he rolls his eyes, laughing nevertheless.]

There are kids in these halls, but whatever--they've heard worse I guess...

[And he fesses up to his loss, moaning rather much like he was getting it hard from somebody who knew how to take charge.]

--there, asshat. Happy? [Regardless of his front Axel certainly is. it already feels more like home.]

[Riku couldn't help but to blink and a slight blush at the moans. That actually sounded--hot. There was a chuckle, that he SWORE was from Xeha and pounded his chest a bit in a cough, to warn the Heartless to still stay out of it. Riku was the 'Vocal Kink' type as it were, but only Xehanort knew that.]

"N-nice. Didn't think you'd be so gun-ho about it. Obviously, you're quite the master in the art and this game eh?"

Something like that... [he rolls his shoulders, chuckling] --got a lot of practice in on the outside, you know?

[When put into those terms; 'the outside', it really did make it seem more like they were in a prison. They certainly couldn't see out, and at the moment, they certainly couldn't get out... It was almost stifling.]

So... [sitting on the bed, he looks up to the other, forearms on his thighs.] --what was it like where you came from?

"Like, right before I got here or my actual home?"

[He takes up a chair and settles back with a sigh.]

"My home is called Destiny Islands. Sort of out in the middle of the ocean. But there are some uninhabited islands, in which Sora, Kairi and I made our own little hideout on one of them. If we were god, we were allowed to go out there as long as we wanted."

[The memory made him smile a bit.]

"Then one day, came the day Sora got an offer to save the worlds against Heartless. Thus all it happen to a point of right before getting here. 'The World that never was' and the fight against Xemnas, The Superior of Organization XIII. We had been separated from each other for a bit over a year..and we just found each other again. Sora I bet is frantic now...Don't blame him. Hope Kairi is keeping him calm.."
