Inside Beast's Castle
So he is not going to attack her, wonderful. She has been making enemies lately, and while she does not mind it at all (of course not), it would be nice to have some people treating her decently. "Of course it sounds right, Larxene told you," she smirks. She follows his gaze as he looks down the staircase again, the same thoughts running through her mind. Larxene does not want to be thought of as not knowing, however, so she does not voice her questions.
Unfortunately for her, he asked. Unreasonably annoyed at him, she gives him a death glare while trying to think up something intelligent to say, "A freaky castle where dead bodies come to live," she replies while waving her hand away at him. She turns and walks up the next set of stairs nonchalantly as if Luxord disinterests her. "I'm off to find some people I know, you're welcome to tag along if you want."

Luxord didn't seem to notice the sting of that death glare of her's, but he did notice the sarcasm in her voice.
"Apologies," Luxord muttered sincerely, and followed her up the staircase, "if I do ask too many questions. You can tell me when I begin to annoy you." Little did the gambler know, he'd already annoyed her, it seemed.
The blonde male just poked along beside her, his hands stuffed in the pockets of his coat as he idly watched the ground get smaller as their positions gained altitude. Finally, now that his eyes were not in pain from the light coming into his long-shut eyes, Luxord marvelled at the gothic beauty of the castile in which they were about to explore, and he noted it for future reference.
Luxord made sure not to bump into the bristled blonde walking before him and glanced at her repeatedly to keep her position in mind, and he stopped when they had both come across the door at the end of the stairway.

Just ouside of the castle
Xigbar flinched as Xaldin lept up and got angry. He flashed back to the vague time when they first became Nobodies and he was... Tortured. He crouched down on the ground, holding his hands over his head as he whimpered softly.
"No." Came the simple word as he looked up at Xaldin.
He wouldn't hurt him now, he was different. He was a changed man. After all, hadn't HE changed? Drastically, to say the least!
He slowly sat up and looked at Marluxia and then at the little alien. "Huh." He simply said as he took a deep breath to relax.
What was this place that it would do things like this to Xaldin?

Inside the Castle
With an idle glance at his brother even as they stepped into the foreboding castle, Kadaj cast a wary glance at his surroundings, every instinct working almost overtime.
His normally lazy gait was just a little tense, and Kadaj's luminous cat-like eyes were narrowed, scanning through the darkness to look out for potential enemies. This entire place looked to be empty, but the silver-haired young man knew otherwise.
"Keep your guard, Brother," Kadaj murmured as they walked silently, their footfalls ghosting the hard ground. "We're not alone." Souba was sheathed at his side and his hand lingered on it's hilt. Having Yazoo with him was a small comfort. He had lost all his memories - the both of them - and Kadaj was glad for the other's mere presence. If anything, it helped that they were not alone in the strange malady that had seemed to be afflicted on them.
Where were their memories? What had happened to them? So many questions, and the answers were nowhere to be found.

Outside castle
Xaldin heard the strangled cry from Xigbar, looking over at the frightened man. Did he scare him? The way he was sitting...
He remembered that, too.
Ansem's study...Blood everywhere. Heartless everywhere. Nobodies. Six to be exact. The Lancer had begun to sturr to the feeling of a hand on his shoulder. What the ********? Growling, Xaldin threw the hand off his arm, coming face to face to a very confused, very heartbroken Freeshooter.
"Don't touch me!" He hissed, catching the man off guard. No compassion behind his slight accent, no friendship - even. This was hate.
Pure hatred.
"Dude...Are you okay?" Xigbar asked, placing his hand on the other's hair, running through long dreadlocks that were not tired back. Xaldin hissed, knocking the hand away once again. Jerking up to his feet. "I said don't touch me!" He snapped, and Xigbar quivered with fear.
Xaldin was not sure of where this event took place, but he remembered it well. Anger flashed through him once again. He caused those scars on Xigbar's body. If the man crossed him at all, he would do it again without hesitation now.
"Stay away from me." He warned, sounding cold as he spoke. It wasn't that he hated him now....he was afraid. Upon thinking harder, he learned that he was afraid to hurt him. Afraid to kill a man he knew loved him. I do not wish to repeat past mistakes. At least, not with you, Xigbar. He told himself as he left the ship, leaving the man to himself.

Outside Castle
Xigbar sat brokenly on the ground for a long moment, watching as Xaldin stormed off. He stared down at the ground and his hands before summoning up every bit of positive energy he had and forced a big, silly grin to cross his face.
"Well, c'mon, that castle ain't gonna explore itself!" He said as he stood up and jumped out of the ship. He waved at Marluxia and that odd little creature, Stitch, and pointed towards the castle.
As he walked, he felt himself slowly start to break up inside, and prayed, just prayed that the feelings would go away soon.

Castle--Main Hall
The large doors swung open. Soft footfalls on hard ground rang quietly as Yazoo and Kadaj entered the large, looming Castle. Green-blue eyes flicked around, checking for any sign of movement. For all they knew, this was a hostile area, but they didn't know. They barely knew anything. His hand not far from Velvent Nightmare, Yazoo kept his guard.
"Keep your guard, Brother. We're not alone," The soft voice came from his brother. Well, that was a bit too obvious, but Yazoo nodded regardless. The area around them was foreign, and the mere air seemed like it could be an enemy. The silver-haired- young man make face. The thought of a fight very quick wasn't horrible, but that wasn't the only thought.
It was the thought that Kadaj and himself didn't have their memories. They were totally clueless, and wanted answers, but where were they to be found? Both of the brothers were clueless. That thought had caused Yazoo's face to be contorted with disgust. Ignorancy was a foul thing. A foul thing that he didn't want plaguing him, for that matter.
There was a stiff silence in the hall's air, and Yazoo could tell easily he was tenser than he should be. Every since he'd gotten here, he'd be like this, though he didn't know why. Oh, no. Nevermind. He did.
It was because he didn't have his memories.

Inside the Castle; Main Hall
Marluxia found that Stitch was following close now, and finally Xaldin and Xigbar. The smell of flowers relaxed the man, and his face wasn't as serious as before. It helped that he was going in a castle that somehow reminded him of Castle Oblivion too.
The ex-Nobody finally stepped inside, and his eyes widened as well as a smile that spread on his lips. Inside was extremely dim lighting and it smelled of secrets inside. Though, Marluxia wasn't sure why, but he suddenly wanted to discover them. Strange what something that reminds you of the past could do to you.
Then...a movement caught his blue eyes. His head turned sharply. They weren't alone.

Even though she is even more annoyed by how Luxord just doesn't seem to get the point that she is already annoyed by him, she makes no move to shoo him away. Larxene would never admit it, but she does want to have a companion, an ally, if a friend is too much to ask for.
Ignoring the blonde-haired man tagging along behind her, Larxene looks around the mansion intently, making sure that they are alone. There are so many dark crevices here and there, too many possible hiding places. It irks her since she still does not remember how to summon her weapons. She lets out an irritated sigh as she ascends the staircase on the left, not caring that Luxord might think that that sigh was meant for him.
Suddenly, Larxene's ears catches distant murmurrings, like a person's voice from a distance. She stops moving and tries to find the source of the voice so that she can hide from whoever it is. Larxene somehow remembers that it is always better to be the one finding rather than found in battle. The walls of the castle echoes the murmurring from a thousand different places, however, and Larxene finds that she can't determine where the voice is originally from.
Narrowing her eyes in annoyance, she spots the door right before her, on top of the staircase. Without even a word, she grabs Luxord's arm and drags him to the door, pushing it open and slamming it close as quickly as possible. The hand she used to grab Luxord's arm then flies to his mouth as she lets out a hiss to indicate silence, "I heard voices," she explains briefly.

Luxord watched Larxene, without a care in the world. Right now, he was focused on remembering who he was, rather than set on exploring the castle. But when he heard those murmurings and footsteps, Luxord almost suggested that they go have a look-see...but was promptly abducted by the female who found him and was brought into the room that they had approached. He made a startled noise when her hand kept his mouth shut, and he grabbed her wrist, removing that hindering limb from hs lips.
"What is the meaning of this?!" he whispered raspily, trusting her judgement to stay quiet rather than trusting himself with shouting. "There were people there--I think! Maybe they can help us figure out where we are!"

Castle -- Main Hall
Stitch, indeed, was tagging along close to the Pinky, quiet for the first time in awhile, but very much less than peaceful. His sharp hearing picked up footsteps from everywhere, silent as they were, and the myriad of scents that assaulted his sensitive nose was close to throwing him into confusion.
There were people nearby -- three? Four? Four of them, then, and the voices, loud as anything to his hearing. Hackles raised, the tiny summon bared his teeth in a soft growl.
There were two people, two people coming closer now, from the shadows lingering in the hallways.
Castle -- Main Hall, not too far away from Marluxia's group
Voices.
Kadaj's eyes narrowed once again, his sharp ears picking up the sound of footsteps and soft growls. Either these people knew not how to be subtle, or they owned this particular castle.
Either way, they had to find out. His gloved hand never wandering away from Souba's hilt, Kadaj levelled a glance at his brother and decided to step forward. There was no point hiding, anyway. They needed answers, and speaking to the group was the first step to getting them.
He was greeted by the sight of a man in pink, a scarred man who looked like a sharpshooter, and a man with sideburns, together with the strangest....thing he'd ever seen.
A blue...dog thing was growling at them, and Kadaj almost bared his teeth in response. The young man did not take too kindly to threats, even perceived ones.

Castle--Foyer--Not far from the odd group
Quite easily, Yazoo picked up the sound of voices. His hand had come a bit farther from Velvet Nightmare, but he was tense enough to reach it in a matter of miliseconds. He eyes were narrowed as he stalked toward te group. But what he saw wasn't exactly something pleasant. It made him have a slightly more disgusted face. A man with pink hair, pink of all colors. A man with scars, and from the looks of it, a man he could have a shooting contest with and find amusement. Then a man that was outragiously hideous, with rouch sideburns and dredlocks.
Lastly....there was the most queer thing he'd ever seen in his life. It was a...blue...dog...animal thing. It was growling qat them almost viciously, and Yazoo could quite easily tell that Kadaj was going to respond to that, but held it back. It was a minor threat, and a bullet in it would have removed it, but there was no point in that.
Yazoo stood there, weight leaned into his left hip.
"Well, if this isn't the most intresting group I've seen," The silver-haired young man asked with a quiet smirk.
[AS A NOTE. When he was reffering to Stitch as queer, he did not mean gay! He meant strange! ><;;;;]

Inside, Behind the Door on Left of Staircase
Glaring at him, Larxene pulls her wrist off of his hands in annoyance. Fortunately, Luxord did not shout so she did not find any reason to get him unconscious again and hide him somewhere so she can go around the castle with more ease. Silencing him with a hiss, Larxene places her ear on the door, breathing as quietly as she could so that she can hear whatever is going on behind the door. It could be Marluxia and the others but she cannot be sure just yet.
"Be quiet for a sec," she whispers to Luxord while still keeping an ear on the door. She heard growling, but it seems to be from a small animal, a dog, perhaps. Marluxia did not say anything about a dog, it must not be them. The thought of Stitch being in a form other than humanoid did not cross her mind. She also heard a rather high-pitched voice speaking but it is hard to determine whether it is female or male. It could be Axel.
Sighing in exasperation, Larxene turns to Luxord, "I don't know who is behind that door but it could be someone who wants me dead," she spoke clearly without whispering. "I don't really care either way, so it's up to you whether you want us to go back to the hall or go further in the castle."

Inside Castle
Xaldin looked towards the voices. More were here? They didn't sound or look very friendly. Xaldin begun to wish again that he could fight.
He watched the furball growl, slightly amazed at how loud the little thing could be! Xaldin felt slightly afraid. He could not fight. Totally helpless before the people in the castle. s**t...I hope to god we arn't in for a fight... He thought fearfully.
Growing bold, Xaldin spoke up. "Who are you people? Why are you here?" He asked, not wishing to fight them at all at this point. They could easily kikk him if they choose to, which was something Xaldin REALLY wanted to avoid.

How peculiar a girl to have awoken Luxord into such a world and then be so hostile toward other people! The blonde male watched the similar female in amusement, just standing back and keeping quiet while putting on his best, all-natural poker face. He felt at his goatee with absent intrigue, his other arm crossed over his chest.
As she spoke, Luxord's eyelids lowered slightly. It was his turn to get just a little annoyed.
"You act as if everyone in the world is going to eat you, Larxene. However, I respect your cautiousness, and if you would like me to, I could go out and investigate on my own...while you go around and see the castle. But I do no know what you will do if you run into something potentially more fearsome than what could lie beyond that door."
And with that final statement, he gestured at the only barrier between them and what could be mutual civilization, cocking a brow at her.
