024 // Action // EVACUATION // mingle??

[principal_mouse]

[Theres a noise, something organic and raw. The ground shakes a bit and you will be jolted out of your sleep. Get to a window and you'll see a flicker, the fence which has stood strong and proud against the black mist... the strangelings.... it's flickering.

It's not gonna hold up long.

[His shoulders and back are aching, he's confused and mentally unsound, voices are continually speaking in his mind... all his fears....

He shakes it from his mind and instead looks around in the chaos. He needs to find his brother so they're not separated again, and to say goodbye to Aqua before-

His own track of thought is cut off by searing pains in his back. Damn...it... Not now, of all times!]

[turntodarkness]

[It takes little time, meanwhile, for Xehanort to find his brother. Fingers seek out a familiar hand, and he's not letting go for anything. There is silence, only broken by Xehanort's coughing. But he is here, and he's not letting his brother remain alone.]

[earth_bonds]

[There's a look on his face that is reminiscent of gratitude behind all that pain, and a faint smile. Terra takes that hand, squeezing it gently.]

You alright, Brother?

[turntodarkness]

[He returns the gentle squeeze, then coughs a little into his fist.]

I am as well as one can be with their lungs burning.

[earth_bonds]

[He nods faintly, holding both his suitcase and Xehanort's hand.]

... I want to find Aqua quickly, then take shelter.

[turntodarkness]

...Then we shall find her.

[Meanwhile, he'll keep a look out for that one woman. He holds his suitcase as well, keeping a tight grip on Terra's hand.]

You know what, lets make this worst.

[Axel is lurking and oh hay, that's something you don't notice every day.

Actually being in the Mist, it is something you feel every day so, Axel will go towards the familiar feeling.]

Well well, ain't that a surprise. Thought something felt like the Mist and here I see it's you.

If he gets the completely silver hair before the event's over, I BLAME YOU.

[earth_bonds]

[There's a faint chuckle crossing his lips. Oh, you have no idea, do you.

Though, knowing right off the bat... It certainly puts him on edge.]

...You are the first to notice that.

Aww. Getting greys from stress? at his age? I can take the blame for that.

[burn8seconds]

[Axel just grins in return.]

It's a distinct feeling. One I can't really forget.

It's already started, but dammit. XD

[earth_bonds]

[That grin is returned.]

Nor can I. A name, perhaps?

[burn8seconds]

The name's Axel. Got it memorized?

[earth_bonds]

I'll commit it to memory, then.

[A sneer. Such an attitude...] I am called Xemnas.

[burn8seconds]

Good. You catch on fast, Xemnas.

[earth_bonds]

I have had to in my line of work before arriving at the Academy.

[burn8seconds]

Do I now need to guess what that was or are you going to fill in the blanks?

[earth_bonds]

A peacekeeper of sorts.

[Yep. Staying vague here, flamer man.]
