Please tell me you're all done being festive.

Not that I have anything against the holidays! But, you know, all that cheer? Just not feeling it. Speaking of, Riku, Hanna, kitchen table, warn me in advance next year and maybe I'll be on time.

[He shifts, leaning back into the couch cushions, and smirks at the pickup.]

And guess what else we

[offline] because they live in the same house and should probably interact sometime lol

[coraltaijiya]

[Sango is passing through, having heard his post from the kitchen--whatever she was doing in there.]

A new neighbor?

[offline] ...true! XD

[doestheickyjobs]

[Axel shrugs at her from his comfy spot on the couch with the PCD.]

Guy from my world! He's kind of a jerk, but he doesn't know you. You should be fine.

[offline] sup Axel, meet Riku's badass normal ex girlfriend xD

[coraltaijiya]

Still, he knows you, right? And Riku. And Sora. That makes it my concern.

[offline] she's pretty hot. Riku has good taste ~

[doestheickyjobs]

He probably won't cause problems for any of us. Not enough backup.

[Riku and Sora are enough to require serious backup all by themselves; and that's not counting their friends.] But he's worth keeping an eye on! Just to be safe.

[offline] LOL. she wouldn't even know what to say to that except to blush furiously xD

[coraltaijiya]

His name? I don't like to take chances.

[offline] XD

[doestheickyjobs]

Saïx. Close to my height, with blue hair and a cross scar on the bridge of his nose. [He traces the lines of the scar on his own face with a finger.]

Don't worry, he's hard to miss!

[offline] ♥

[coraltaijiya]

Yes, I bet. Thanks for the warning, anyway.

[doestheickyjobs]

[He lapses briefly into silence, staring at the opposite wall. What is he going to do about this? Saïx might not be causing trouble right now, but if he decides to - ]

So... how good are you in a fight?

[offline]

[coraltaijiya]

It depends on your definition of "good." Compared to Riku and his magic and keyblade--not very. Compared to an average person, well... probably fairly skilled.

[She gestures to a six-foot-tall boomerang leaning unobtrusively against the far wall, near the door.]

[doestheickyjobs]

If he gets violent at you, get Riku or Sora, then. Either of them could probably take him -- but it'd be a tough fight.

[He doubts he could, if it came down to that.]

[offline]

[coraltaijiya]

Mm. [Learning the meaning of futility in this place means that for once she can recognize that this might be the better course of action. Whether or not she'll actually follow it is up to debate, considering she's got a good bit of pride on the line.]

[And she really doesn't like the idea of asking either of the two for help--for different reasons. Riku, because he will never let it go ever and will forever use it to not let her fight even when she is perfectly capable, and Sora because, well... there's already some jealousy issues going on there and yeah.]

Were they enemies in your world?

[offline]

[doestheickyjobs]

I'd offer, but it'd be a little tougher if it were me!

[She doesn't look too happy about it; maybe she just doesn't like taking help from someone. He couldn't blame her from that.]

- Yeah. They were.

[offline]

[coraltaijiya]

Not like I don't know what that's like. [--she offers wryly. She does not care to count the number of times she's been unable to help someone because she's too weak, just a badass with no ~special powers~, both here and at home.]

...I see. Adstringendum tends to... complicate those kind of relationships. Or lack thereof.

[doestheickyjobs]

[A grin flashes briefly up at her, and he shrugs. He's not fond of admitting his limitations, but head-to-head with Saix, the best-case scenario involves both of them ending up dead. He's seen Saix fight seriously a time or two.]

Stick with the Keyblade crew.

- It was complicated enough already! Around here? I think it might be easier.

[offline]

[coraltaijiya]

['the Keyblade crew'? What are they, a boy band? xD]

Maybe on a physical or danger scale it would be easier. But you don't think it would be mentally trying, at the very least, to live literally alongside your-- [ARCH NEMESIS okay no we are getting a little specific personal carried away here. er.] ...an enemy?

[offline]

[doestheickyjobs]

[They're young and pretty enough. Riku on bass and Roxas drums? Sora would have to be the lead singer....

Axel shrugs again.]

There's no option B. We'll live.

Though I have to say I would've preferred him to move in somewhere else.
