Italy was wandering around seeing if he could help any more children when he saw Kefka. His friend Locke told him to stay away from the crazy clown and Italy was sure to heed that advice.

He blinked as the kid yelled at something that Italy couldn't see. He glanced around but he didn't see anyone else. Deciding to try to get out of there as quickly as possible, he turned around and started to walk...almost run away.

[beforemagitek]

Kefka was just about to begin with his crusade until he spotted a familiar guy nearby. "Eh?" He blinked his eyes a few times as he shouted towards the retreating figure. "HEY, GET BACK HERE!" That sinister edge in his voice was back, but only briefly. It seems that regressing to the form of a moody teenager eased Kefka's blood lust a little. The little country should feel a tad grateful towards the coral reef or that.

"You're friends with that thief, aren't you?"

[pastaismylife]

When the other guy seemed to notice him, Italy got scared but when he yelled at him, Italy took off running while waving a white flag.

[beforemagitek]

Just when Kefka thought he caught the guy's attention, the doofus takes off running. Wondering where and when that white flag appeared, the annoyed blond suddenly tossed his dagger towards Italy's retreating form.

"I said, GET BACK HERE!" He literally roared in prime agitation. It felt good to know that he still had the power to scare the living crap out of people, but Kefka wasn't actually interested in harming Italy much. If anything, he wanted to know where that stupid thief went after their brief conversation. It's good to keep tabs on your enemies, and Kefka knew better than to turn his back on Locke or the others.

[beforemagitek]

When is Kefka ever up to any good? The man was an idiot savant, a fool who seemed utterly incapable of learning from his past mistakes, yet he's ingenious enough to cause some real hell when he's bored. Unfortunately, Kefka won't be causing too much hell today since he can't even work his magic anymore. If anything, the youth planned to deface the stupid coral in order to work off the aggression.

"What a therapeutic endeavor this is!" Kefka giggled insanely as he tried his hand at chipping away at the coral. After several stabs, the young harlequin actually attempted to scale the coral reef in search for a weak spot or something.

"I'm gonna kill you~! I swear it! You're a dead little bastard of a reef---" Kefka paused suddenly once he caught the sight of a familiar spiky haired fellow nearby.

"...It's not what it looks like." He said.

[beforemagitek]

Kefka arched his brow at Cloud in retaliation. "Avert your eyes away, and it won't look like anything!" He huffed in annoyance. "What do you want, anyways? Aren't you supposed to be nursing a broken toe, choco-boy?" The haughty jester was just glaring at him now with such malice.

Integra had been walking towards the library again, it appeared it would be one of her favorite haunts -- when she saw it.

Or rather, she saw him.

The Hellsing heiress knew she should have kept walking, should have paid no attention to Kefka, after all they barely knew one another and had yet to truly meet face to face, but opportunities like this just didn't seem to come very often.

Which is how she found herself walking towards him, and merely stood behind him as he made his little speech, before absolutely grinning when he raised the dagger.

"Did you not say you were powerless right now, Sir Clown? What makes you think you can destroy this thing?"

[beforemagitek]

Kefka was just about to start chipping away at the Lamufao until a familiar voice behind him froze him in his place. "O-Oh crud..." Nervously taking a glance behind him, the youth's eyes almost dilated once he saw Hellsing standing there. "AAAH!" The mage wasted no time to put some distance between himself and Hellsing, especially since he still remembered their not very friendly conversation earlier.

"What the hell do you want!?" Kefka asked with a look of annoyance on his face. "I can destroy this stupid thing! It just takes time." He let out a haughty huff.

"Don't you have a bat cave to return to?"

[bastaaaaaards]

Integra, while inwardly amused, remained passive outwardly, instead reaching into the the pocket at the breast of her jacket and pulling out a small cigar. Her old ones had been destroyed when she arrived here, and these ones were nothing like her old ones, but... they would have to make due.

Lighting it, the heiress took in a deep puff, moving her icy gaze from Kefka and to the Coral.

"I wouldn't advise that, if I were you," she stated suddenly, arching a brow at his last statement, but didn't dignify him with a comment on it.

[beforemagitek]

Kefka actually flinched a little once Integra reached for something in her pocket. The mage knew that they didn't exactly have a friendly relationship brewing, so of course he's wary of her. Being stuck in the useless body of his teenage self certainly set him at a grave disadvantage, but Kefka thinks he can take Integra if she got too rowdy with him. After all, she's just a woman. He highly doubts Sir Hellsing possesses the same military background as Celes, so he figures he doesn't have anything to worry about. Plus women are generally weaker than men or so this chauvinistic jerk thinks.

Putting on his fiercest scowl, which isn't too fierce when you look like a sixteen year old, Kefka glared at her. "Really? Now why would I listen to someone like you, hm?" He placed his hands on his hips. "You're just scared that I'll get my powers back, and zap you and your little bat!"

[Someone is just... lurking on near by. Being the troll that he is.]

You're not going to break it, idiot.

[And chomp, he bites into his apple as he stands to the side and watches.]

[beforemagitek]

[Idiot? WHO DOES HE THINK HE'S CALLIN' AN IDIOT!? Kefka snarled at him.]

Bug off, red! I don't have time for the likes of you.

[ickyorders]

[A sigh and he shrugs before suddenly!

FIRE COVERED CHAKRAM FLYING PAST YOU, KEFKA and straight into the coral. It bounces back and heads straight towards Axel, who just makes it disappear with a flick of his wrist.]

See.

[beforemagitek]

[At first, Kefka had no idea what the hell flew by his head. He thought it was a bird or something, that is until he heard it crash against the coral reef with a loud clang.]

What the---

[He unleashed the loudest scream ever once the that thing came sailing back towards him, and dived towards the ground.]

AAHHH!

[kings_thief]

Locke was walking around, still not quite certain where he was going, when he saw what he was sure was Kefka stabbing coral. 'Maybe he's really lost it this time.' Locke remembered something about a coral reef being the reason why Vatheon had turned into a daycare, but he couldn't recall the details.

As he came closer, he saw that it was in fact Kefka, but somehow diffrent, younger for sure. Younger than Locke, even.

"What the hell are you doing, Kefka? Attacking sea dwelling things doesn't exactly seem like your thing. Did you run out of people to torment?"

[beforemagitek]

The Trials & Tribulations of Kefka Palazzo have yet to end, have they?

Kefka nearly slammed his face against the coral once he recognized that voice. Honestly, he rather die than let any of his enemies see him like this. Death would be far pleasant than dealing with the teasing right now. Kefka's self-esteem was going down the toilet lately, all thanks to this stupid curse no less. Trying his best not to look like a puppy who've been kicked one too many times, Kefka greets the bratty thief with a faint grin.

"Look what the chocobo dragged in, a stupid little 'thief' with a piss-poor disposition." A dramatic sigh soon followed after his biting comment.

"Go away!"

[kings_thief]

Locke bristled at the 'thief' comment and was about to go off on the other man when he realized what it was that had been bothering him, so he settled for muttering 'treasure hunter' instead.

"'go away'? that's the most threatening thing?"
Locke thought for a moment before kneeling down next to (sort of) the jester, still out of arms reach, though.

"I get it, you arn't as powerful as usual, are you? This curse thing got you too."

Locke looked between Kefka and the coral and gestured to it.

"So, what's this coral done to deserve your violent attempts?"

[beforemagitek]

Kefka made sure to keep some much needed distance between the thief and himself. Neither of them were friendly in the least, and Kefka wouldn't put it past Locke to try and kill him, again. In short, the teen wasn't going to stick around if Locke decided to get a little frisky with those boomerangs of his. While Kefka certainly does remember how to use a sword or dagger, being trapped in this magitek-less body is definitely a handicap for him.

"Shut it! I'm not feeling witty, okay?" He nearly snarled at Locke. "Hm? What? You don't know? This ridiculous coral reef is the thing that CAST this curse on me." Not that Kefka had any real proof to prove that but as soon as he touched the reef, he was transformed into a teenager.

"I'm going to destroy it in order to get my powers back! Do you get it now, lump-head?"
