first hand [Voice]

[venatipectium]

[There are mixed sounds of footsteps, cloth swishing and pigeon hoots before Luxord starts talking.]So apparently, just when I thought all odds lead to a game over, Fate decides she has other plans for me. I won't say I'm not surprised. Though this definitely looks more promising than being in eternal Darkness

Comments

action for the indecisive;

[obliviomancy]

[No pigeons here! But he does have a carton of ice cream under his arm - that's lunch, okay - when that familiar voice cuts through the noise. Roxas whirls.]

What--

action why must you always call me a liar;

[obliviomancy]

[Hey, this isn't Grumpyxas. In any case, the carton's starting to drip. Roxas glances down at it in startlement, then back to Luxord. To stay and find out more information or to keep his lunch. Choices, choices.]

Well, they lost to Sora too.

action because that's what you are;

[venatipectium]

[Luxord is now considering his choices too, shuffling the deck away.]

Now that I answered your questions, perhaps you can answer mine.

Preferably with your...

[Kid, you will get fat one of these days. Luxord can see that dripping.]

... food not dripping as it is.

action in that case clearly Kris is the worst Luxord ever;

[obliviomancy]

[Drip, drip, drip. Roxas hunches his shoulders.]

Okay, fine. [A portal opens, and Roxas's clearly waiting for Luxord to go with him.] What do you want to know?

action that's cheating;

[venatipectium]

[And he'll be following, this time flipping a coin idly.]

Where are we, for starters.

action either way I win;

[obliviomancy]

[It's the back of a restaurant - there's dishes and those shelf-trolleys everywhere, and Roxas is heading with very purposeful steps to a door - that leads to the freezer.

Well, he didn't exactly want to lead Luxord back to his apartment.]

It's called the Hymns of Lorelei. It's a restaurant.

action I am refraining from making a comment on your icon;

[venatipectium]

[This expression on his face is unimpressed.]

I meant the entire city.

action I hate you more every day;

[obliviomancy]

[Roxas glances back, all surprise. But it fades.]

It's called the City. ... Didn't you ask the Network?

action I try my best;

[venatipectium]

[At least you aren't as blank as you were before.]

Few have answered.

action may Aqua suffer a growth spurt during BBS;

[obliviomancy]

[Derpxas has grown up! Stashing the carton in the freezer, and leaning on the door.]

Yeah, well, you can't get out of here, and people get cursed a lot. The Network's got a guide about the rest.

action I see boobs in that icon;

[venatipectium]

[He is still too short!]

Another question then. How many of 'us' are here?

action I will punch you I swear;

[obliviomancy]

[It's been a year, HE GREW A LITTLE. Roxas hesitates, and not just because he's totaling. Luxord isn't on his side, after all.]

Nine.

[.... because he won't count himself.]

action you already killed me on aim;

[venatipectium]

[UH HUH, YEAH, CIRCUS MIDGET. Luxord catches the coin in his hand again, raising an eyebrow.]

Not counting yourself, I take it.

action there's no such thing as too much killing;

[obliviomancy]

[ffff, caught. He's not looking at Luxord.]

Well, I left.

action you mass murdered people on aim;

[venatipectium]

That you did.

Well, that's the hand you chose. It made a rather interesting play.

[Back to a-tossing that coin then.]

action you'll never prove it;

[obliviomancy]

The game's over.
