It's been a while since I've done anything like this for Ine or Zexion, so ask me questions! Anything's fair game -- relationships, motivations, where they're at right now, how many pets they've got, who they'd mafia for. And hey, feel free to tag me too! If you've ever been curious about my play styles, apping patterns, how I view camp as a

I actually keep toying with Zexion in a variation of the old apprentice gear. Because it's comfy and familiar and practical, really. Zexion himself isn't much of a military uniform type; he always has been and always will be a scholar first, no matter how adept he is at tactics.

Also. I mean. Org hair and military dress just makes me laugh.

Marluxia, of course, will be The Leader. It's the role e wants, and the role Zexion's happy enough to pass off to him. Things that require broad, sweeping gestures are his forte, so I imagine a lot of the top-level decisions (like what should we do about those massive craters) will go to him. Culture, beauty, vision. And very shrewd allocation of resources to different areas (I imagine we have arguments about understaffing in Zexion's and Vexen's departments often).

Larxene... will likely be our diplomat and arbitrator of internal disputes among the lower levels. The latter because she is terrifying and only incredibly valid problems would actually be willing to face her. The latter... because we're Prussian. And Marluxia is in charge.And some things will take a few generations to smooth out.

Vexen and Zexionno doubt handle all the boring day-to-day tasks that keep an (albeit small) empire running. Marluxia has the vision, we have the mundane concerns about sanitation and magical affinity of different areas and how many farmers should we get on their feet. That aside, I would think Vexen would lean toward internal research and establishment -- probably the best person to go to if you want to find out if something is working the way it should, or if this tested approach would do better.

Zexion, as much from obligation as his own drive, would likely throw himself into the reestablishment of their fleet and what work was done to stabilize routes between worlds. Eventually, he'd probably also oversee schooling, when their world had children to teach. Chronicling would go hand in hand with that, though he'd be far more likely to keep records and let Marluxia handle the history writing.

... just that. REALLY. Yeah, honestly. I don't see Vexen giving up a labcoat when he has the chance for them again.

... also, I imagine it's not so much ARGUMENTS as huffing and bitching and the occational COMMENT to Marluxia that's stonewalled with a pleasant "Hmmm? Is it? Oh dear, you KNOW how tricky these things can be... I'll look into it sometime.~"

... Yeah, by that time, I assume lab assistants tackle Vexen for his own good.

... Larxene is the most terrifying mediator ever. That's a very Organization choice. I can only approve.

And yes, and we'd probably prefer our mundane tasks. Yeah, mechanics, function. Vending machines. Because there are some things we're not giving up on.

... I forgot Lexaeus.

[hijiri]

... So did I... why does this feel very IC

On the plus side, we can assume that Lexaeus remains our bashing things til they stop.

Also, working with the mechanics and helping resolve logic issues... like WE NEED BOTH OF THESE THINGS HERE. BUT HOW TO GET THEM THROUGH THE FUCKING DOOR.

[cloakanddaikon]

It does. I was having AU daydreams while out getting supper, and there was a conversation between Lexaeus and Gilbert re: Zexion passing out, and I was all... wait.

I kind of imagine Lexaeus's position as 'keeping us all from killing each other. And also doing the stuff Marluxia passes on to Zexion's side that Zexion doesn't want to do and Vexen ignores'.

[no_rear_guard]

Ohhhh?

It's a time tested and highly effic... okay, it works for us, so why change it now?

[cloakanddaikon]

Just Gilbert about to stomp into Zexion's workroom (where Zexion is passed out with his head on the table, again), and Lexaeus stopping him in the hallway.

The view shifting, as they look in, to show the replica sleeping passed out on the other side of the table, one of Zexion's arms stretched out, as if he fell asleep with his hand resting on the replica's head. The diagrams beneath him are of human hearts, not skeletons of ships or the paths between worlds.

"Tonight he is not working for your sake." Because Lexaeus has known, always, the truths behind what Zexion says and does not say. "Give him his space to rest."

Indeed.
