120th Day [audio/video]

[mirroredmemory]

[The feed comes on to the sound of someone's body hitting the ground. There is no visual to speak of, just the black inside of a coat. There's a short feminine cry then the sound of fabric shifting.]

Haaa!

[The voice is much more recognisable as Xion's, this time angry and raised in a challenge. There's a crashing sound of metal on metal, and then

Comments

[Video --Move to action, yeah?]

[madeinoblivion]

No way!

[Hoarse, raw, savage- and brimming with so much darkness that the feed crackles with the hot ultraviolet static of its aura.]

Xion! Hang on!

[And that's it. Enough holding back and waiting for everyone to get plucked off, one by one. Enough watching his friends be defeated and dissapear.]

Vanitas! I'll show you who's a cockroach!

[Video -- COME GET ME SKIRT BRO]

[theprobator]

Who? You?

[not something Ventus would ever say, but there it his, that doubled voice starting to laugh again. please, as far as he's concerned, Joe without a Keyblade and him with the χ-blade makes Joe even more worthless than Girl Ventus.]

[YEP, I'M COMING WITH SOUL EATER. YES. THAT ONE.]

[madeinoblivion]

Me. I'll wipe that grin right off your face, chew it up, and spit it out for the rope-faced dogs to eat!

[Nevermind that you're wearing a face like my best friend. You don't mess with Xion.]

[YAY I BET IT TASTES LIKE CANDY AND DEATH]

[theprobator]

[-- and he suddenly breaks into laughter. the kind of laughter where it sounds as if he can't catch his breath, like it almost hurts, and with a fairly heavy twinge of condescending disbelief. yeah, he doesn't buy it, Joe.]

[KYUBEY THOUGHT IT WAS DELCIOUS, IN FACT]

[madeinoblivion]

[I'll show you he thinks fiercely

I'll show you, and I'll save her, and I'll make you pay. I'm not afraid of fighting darkness with darkness.

And eventually he will sniff that distinctive darkness out, along with the power of the X-blade. Joe has a hidden power too, forged from a wish to protect his friends- his only wish now is that it's enough to cut Vanitas down to size.

But not alone. Soul's coming with him, and they'll be roaring up on a motorbike.]

[JOE WHY DO YOU SELL YOUR SOUL TO PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW also this is late /sob]

[brbomnomsouls]

[Wherever Venitas might be, the sound of a motorcycle will alert him to their presence. Soul is pretty much standing on it with the way he's driving, Joe behind him on the seat, the boy having neglected to attach the sidecar in his haste.]

[LATE IS HOW I ROLL]

[theprobator]

[if it's Sector 7 they're headed for, then they'll find the monster they're looking for, all right-- he's the blaze of energy running at a breakneck speed away from the farmlands, edging closer to the city.]
