Zexion had arrived at the castle several days earlier but despite all of his newfound free time, he hadn't gotten a chance to visit the kitchen. Every time he'd started down the stairs to find a meal or at least a stove to cook on, he'd been distracted. New arrivals, new fights, new information. There were too many puzzles to work with and he was secretly a little excited in having been supplied with so much fresh research. The only problem, as he soon discovered, was his stomach had formed a strong alliance with his ability to concentrate.

Or maybe he was just a little pampered after all the snacking he'd done in Castle Oblivion.

Rather hungry and frustrated with himself, the Schemer stalked out of his room. Several flights of stairs later and two steps into the kitchen, he came to a quick stop when he noticed the strangers nearby. He wasn't sure who the taller man and odd creature were but he figured it was best to keep his distance for now. With a slight smirk, he moved back toward the wall. Vegetables sounded good. Something warm and filling that would last him the rest of the night. If he could find them without being intruded upon by the other, rather unusual guests.

[OOC: Apologies for the trouble! xx; Internet connection is being such a spazzy bugger.]

Loz felt another presence nearby, one that had a rather dark feeling like his own. He flipped around to look at the newcomer, an empty tub of ice cream in one hand with a giant spoon in the tub, soda in the other. Spotting Zexion, he dropped the tub and it clattered to the floor, the giant spoon making most of the noise. "Kadaj?!" he exclaimed, his green cat-like eyes widened with excitement. "KADAJ YOU'RE ALIVE!!!!!! BROTHER DIDN'T KILL YOU AFTERALL!!!"

[[ooc: that's all good! i hoped you'd repost X3. let the fun begin!!! mwahahahahhahahaha!!!!! =3]]

[trialbyillusion]

Zexion jerked visibly at the loud crack of the spoon as it hit the floor, but it was the stranger's words that brought about his absolutely baffled, and maybe a little horrified, expression. For a moment, he just stared at the silver-haired man. Oh, the sixth member had always had rather poor run of luck when it came to social situations, but this was just crazy.

"Excuse me?" he managed to ask at last, finally composing himself and straightening up. The name sounded familiar, he knew he'd heard or read of it just recently, but he couldn't quite place it-... Oh. No.

[asobu_ka]

Loz blinked. He looked like Kadaj. His scent was similar to Kadaj. But he didn't sound like Kadaj. Did he hit his head and lose his memory?

He blinked again. He just didn't get it. Who was this guy who was had striking resemblance to Kadaj? Did he have another brother he wasn't aware of? "Brother?" he asked stupidly, pointing at Zexion, his mouth agape, his silver brows knit in confusion.

[trialbyillusion]

Zexion blinked right back, never having experienced this sort of situation before. Written scribbles in journals was one thing, but this was a little too close for comfort. He shook his head at the question, about to reply that no, he was sure they weren't related... But the refusal never made it into words. Instead, he looked over the man for a moment then crossed his arms over his chest.

"Maybe," he replied, playing up the lie, "You do look familiar."

Which was true to a certain degree. He'd heard of silver-haired, green-eyed men before.

[asobu_ka]

Loz blinked. He had another brother? And he's still alive and doesn't want to kill him? Now this was news to him! And good news at that! They looked similar enough - both silverhaired - and even dressed similarly. The only difference was that Zexion didn't have the cat-like eyes, but neither did Cloud for that matter, and he was their brother so Zexion have could easily been related. And to the simpleminded Loz, that was all that mattered.

Loz's green eyes widened with delight, although the urge to start weeping was great. That sensitive side was kicking in again. "Didn't know I had another brother" he said, scratching the side of his head. "What's your name?"

[[ooc: zomg this is way too funny X3!!! i can see this becoming a huge theme and if we get a cloud, loz convinces zexy he's the bad brother XD! and what did zexy forget? his life as ienzo? or somehting else?]]

[trialbyillusion]

Zexion couldn't help but smirk at the man's enthusiasm. He'd never expected it to be so easy to convince him they were family.

He switched into the new role with a helpless shrug. Brothers, right. It would be nice to have a brother figure around if he could keep up his side of the story. Sure, the stranger acted a little dense, but he looked strong. Strength was definitely a good thing. The Nobody couldn't find his old colleague Lexaeus anywhere, and his own set of fighting skills weren't made for handling physically powerful enemies. Someone to rely on then. Maybe protection of a sort. If such a thing was ever necessary.

"I'm Zexion," he replied, taking a step forward.

[OOC: Zexy lost his sense of smell when he arrived at the castle, but he might forget his Ienzo life sooner or later... if just because the idea sounds nifty. Need to ponder that. :< But yes, this is awesomeee. Big theme. I hope we get a Cloud and some of the others. XD That'd be so funny.]

[asobu_ka]

Zexions's observations were rather accurate. Loz wasn't the brightest of the bunch. Yazoo and Kadaj were always the planners, Loz was always the fighter. He was also very easy to convince (in most situations) which might work to Zexion's advantage. Either way, Loz was happy to have found a new brother.

"I'm Loz," he said with his typical, smirkish grin.

[[ooc: oh geez, losing that sense is like disaster! that must make things interesting! well if paradisa wants to claim something else, perhaps offer up his memory as ienzo =3. and yes, the two of them could torture the hell outta cloud! XD!!!]]

[trialbyillusion]

"Loz then," he nodded, wandering over to the refrigerator to search for something to eat, "I think I remember you, but everything's been so confusing lately. Exactly how many brothers do we have again?"

He eventually pulled out an orange and shut the fridge's door behind him, leaning back against it to continue his questioning. One could never have too much information, "And what about parents?"

[OOC: Indeed, but Zex hasn't realized it yet. He still thinks he has some sort of weird cold and it'll all get better. Silly scheming man. I think I'll do that, though. If anything happens that Paradisa needs to take away more. X3 But yes! Oh man. Poor Cloud.]

[asobu_ka]

"Uh..." he attempted to count then gave up. He wasn't the brightest of the bunch. "There's Yazoo and Kadaj, and then that jerk Cloud." He wasn't sure what to consider Sephiroth since he was part of him, so he left that part out.

An orange? His eating habits were definitely like Yazoo's. He was definitely related. [[ooc note: i have a long time running joke with a yazoo i used to play with that he eats healthful food X3]]

Zexion's last question made Loz blink. "Uh.... I don't remember." No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't remember anything about his origins or their parents.

[[ooc: ahaha. poor zexy. and yes, poor cloud. loz can probably get zexy to believe cloud's their enemy XD]]

[trialbyillusion]

"Three," Zexion replied as he absently picked off the orange's peel, "That's three and five total. Sounds like a big family. I don't remember any of them. Maybe that's a good thing if one of them was a jerk, as you said."

He bent one leg over the other, glancing up once he'd properly skinned the snack, "We should keep an eye out while we're here. If our brothers aren't around right now, they might show up. We'll have to be careful, though."

He pulled an orange segment free and popped it in his mouth only to grimace at the flavor... or lack thereof. Blasted cold was even ruining the taste of things. With a sniff, he walked over to a nearby trash can and dumped the rest of the fruit in it. At least the entire trip down to the kitchen hadn't been a waste, though. This new brotherly bit was very interesting, "There are all sorts of... cruel people here. Bad people, you might say."

[OOC: Oh, I bet he could. XDD]

[asobu_ka]

"Cloud-nii is a jerk! He killed Kadaj!" Loz's face wrinkled up as he grew upset at the memory. He crunched the empty soda can in his hand with ease.

But he looked up when Zexion started moving about. "Yeah, lots of bad people. Meanies." He crushed the can vertically into a nice pancaked shape with his thumb and forefinger at the thought of Reno and his idiocy. "But Yazoo.... If I'm alive, he must be too!"

[[ooc: there ya go X3. and poor lozzy's so confused XD. he can't figure out how he's alive after that kamikaze attack]]

[trialbyillusion]

"One brother killed the other?" He mumbled, keeping an eye on Loz as he so effortlessly destroyed that can. Zexion was beginning to realize he'd underestimated the man's power. There was more to work with than he'd first thought, but possibly more danger involved, too.

The Schemer fingered one of the ties to his hood, his voice dull, "I understand the frustration. Someone tried to kill me before I woke up here. He's in the castle now, too. One of those bad people I mentioned."

"Maybe, though. Maybe Yazoo is alive. This castle's big, Loz. Who knows what we'll find?"

[OOC: D'aw, Loz. XD It's a pretty confusing situation.]

[asobu_ka]

"Nii-san's bad!" Loz said bluntly. He reached for another can in the box only to find that it was empty, much to his disappointment. He eyed the array of empty cans on the counter and was tempted to crush them, but was quickly distracted when Zexion spoke again. He had that lure in his voice like Kadaj did, that tone Loz just couldn't ignore. Loz then spoke, "the one who tried to kill me - nii-san - isn't here! Else he'd be dead now!" Yeah, Loz was a very vengeful person. He thought Cloud had killed pretty much all of them - Sephiroth, Kadaj, and Yazoo - and Loz wanted revenge. "But if Yazoo's alive.... And now you are too!" His spirits lightened a bit and his expression softened. He was glad to have another brother to keep him company.

[[ooc: you have no idea how much i am completely lolling and enjoying this scenario XD!!! oh the pandemonium the two could cause~!!! =3]]

[trialbyillusion]

Zexion nodded slightly, tilting his head toward the door as he thought back on all the research he had left to do, "That's why we have to be careful, Loz. We might be alive now but the bad people are still around. Cloud might come here and there's also a man named Axel you should watch out for. I think he's a lot like Cloud."

He started back toward the exit, holding one hand up to cover a yawn. He was glad to see his new brother was so vengeful in nature. It would be helpful later on in case of any trouble with those "bad" individuals.

"I have some work to do, brother, but I'll see you again soon. I'm on the eleventh floor, room 1107 if you need anything."

[OOC: Yes! XD! I'm loving it. So awesome. I can't even imagine how much trouble they could brew up.]

[asobu_ka]

"Axel," Loz repeated. "Anyone like that jerk Cloud is bad!" He made a note of the name and to avoid him at all costs. But if Axel bothered him, now that was another story. Then he was free to take vengence if it seemed fit.

He shook from his simple thoughts when Zexion headed for the door. "1107, got it," Loz noted. "I'm in 1205."

[[ooc: X3!!!!! loz wants to play. and he wants to find the others *points at his recent entry* X3]]
