Welcome to Gaia! ::

[ Sora, Riku, Cloud, Seymour, Kyle, Beatrix, Yuffie : Hawaii : Village ]

"Yeah, you look fine," Kyle responded sincerely, nodding with a smile. His ears, however, perked up lightly when he overheard Bobbi shout something about Zexion. He turned to face the situation and realized pretty quickly what was going on- Lexaeus was asking about Zexion.

Nodding to Sayrike as she walked off, Kyle walked over to the group talking about Zexion, his face growing neutral- robotic, even.

"Zexion joined this group at the same time I did. He was the one who found me roughly a week ago and he helped get me acclimated with this new world," Kyle explained, his tone without emotion. "He trained me and helped me come to terms with the situation, while I helped him by explaining the events after his death. When we joined the group, he helped us all defeat a number of opponents, including Hades. However, earlier today he seemed to have a metaphorical change of heart and betrayed us to a secondary batch of Replicas, as well as Xaldin, Larxene, and Luxord. We haven't seen him since."

Kyle paused for a moment, looking quietly into Lexaeus' eyes, one of the few who were apparently not intimidated by the towering titan. There was something in the dragoon's eyes-

"You knew him much longer than I did, Aeleus," he began, his voice sounding... imploring. "Does that sound like something he'd do?"

[Axel: Hawaii Village > Heading towards the Mothership]

Axel plastered a nice grin on his face for her; “Aww- thanks a lot, but I think I’ll live. That –blue squirrel- seemed to have done the trick.” He said gesturing to the summon as it moved from person to person checking on them.
Besides, she looked rather winded herself. He must’ve missed one heck of a party. He listened intently after that- right up the part when Kyle explained how the stoic bookworm jumped ship. And Axel wasn’t he least bit surprised.
“Baaah!-“ Axel’s voice cut in from the place he sat on the ground,-“ Zexions just doing what he does best. Stick with what he perceives as the winning team.” He sneered with his false imitating bitterness “The guys a nobody, plain and simple. No more moral compass or compassion, just cold logic behind that book of his-“ he looked up at Kyle with those green eyes, which didn’t so much as flinch when he looked into the alien expression on the Dragoons face “I’m not saying it gives him an excuse for what he does, but it doesn’t give any of YOU guys an excuse to expect anything less from him- or us.”
Axel then got off his butt and stood up stretching his hands high above his head. He looked to the tiny animal with the bejeweled forehead and tips an invisible hat to it. “Thanks fluffy.”
“Tyue!”

“ I thought you were Carbuncle-?”
“-whatever it’s not like you care right?”
the little creature retorted it’s fluffy tail flickering back and forth.
“Well said.” And with that Axel headed off to the Mothership after Noelle who led the way.
“Think they got any good food on that Mothership?” he asked her.

{Auron : Hawaii : Village}

Auron had been keeping silent, though listening intently upon what was being discussed. It was mainly a lot of serious talk regarding Zexion's betrayal of the group. The samurai didn't really know much about the schemer, so he couldn't say if it was something he would do or not. Suddenly Noelle seemed eager to get them all moving and threatened to launch them all to the Mothership. He smirked as he began to walk towards it in silence to stop next to Kyla and Zidane, who was apparently sleeping.

"I'll take him, save your energy." he stated plainly as he reached down and picked up Zidane, setting him on his left shoulder.

The small monkey-tailed man was not very big or heavy. For the samurai who was used to swinging around a massive katana, he was nothing. Auron's katana rested on his right shoulder as he walked on towards the mothership.

[ Matt :-: Hawaii :-: Village ]

Matt was caught in a laughing fit before he could answer Joe, overjoyed that he was reunited with his friend and amused by his reaction. "I don't know how or why myself, but I found myself in the area about a week ago and have been living like a ninja hobo." Matt grinned stupidly up at Joe, simply elated. "And what've you been up to?" he asked.

[[Louis : Hawaii : Village Remains]]

The arcanist let out a long sigh as Bobbi tried to comfort him, he understood her intent, but no amounts of attempted assistance would save him from his own subconscious, hyperactive reactions to blood; if anything, the human contact made something inside him stir and made him feel worse. Louis took another deep breath and swallowed hard, feeling his skin slowly returning to the correct temperature.

As Sayrike returned, Louis raised his head and nodded meekly, "I'll be fine, really. I'm just..." Louis dropped his head again, "just feeling a bit light headed is all."

"I should be asking you that question..." Louis continued suddenly after it seemed as though he'd finished, This girl touched me while I was like... that, "You were unconscious just a second ago. You sure you're alright to be walking around so soon?"

[Jenny :: Hawaii :: Village]

An uneasy scowl painted its way onto Jenny's feature as thoughts darted through different possible theories in her mind. Her brows furrowed slightly as the mage racked her brain, plagued by the familiarity of the song. It was as if she couldn't recall a popular singer or actor that perched on the tip of her tongue. It was going to continue to torment her until she could pinpoint what it was. She let out a soft aggravated growl and dug her fingers into her cheek as she continued the flip through the records in her head. It was there, there was no way she could have imagined the song into the proverbial avenues of her mind.

"You've heard the song somewhere, now it's just a matter of where... but I think your facial expressions are going to worry some people," Siren commented softly after a long silence in an attempt to not disturb her summoner's efforts to recall the melody.

"I know, but you know how difficult it is, I've heard so many songs... whole cities, all their hearts, singing to me. And I thought a train full of people was unbearable last week, I've come a long way in comparison to that... but still, I can't keep everything documented. It's as if I've heard the song, in the mall or something and then... ugh!"

"The what? And you still haven't fixed your face. It'll be harder to explain what you're thinking about when someone comes up to you all worried that your face is being contorted by some unknown force... unless you want to ask someone like Joe or Kyle, perhaps they have a better recollection of the past week," Siren said, her voice a little amused. One could only imagine that her face mirrored that tone, perhaps her delicate eyebrows were perked upwards and her oceanic eyes swam with the same glimmer.

"Sorry, sorry! You know I have trouble controlling my expressions sometimes. I'm a fricken' lighthouse."

"I thought the saying was... an open book."

"Same thing technically." Jenny smoothed her hair and turned so that she wasn't facing anyone before continuing to sort through the melodies. She briefly thought about summoning her ranger helmet before realizing that had the probability that it could summon more attention. She could ask someone else, but with a quick glance in their direction, they all looked rather occupied. While taking slow, measured steps toward the mothership Jenny ruled out obvious candidates like townspeople, who would never be capable of melding their heartsong with others, at least, she hoped that was the case.

[Axel: Mothership]

Ooooh, someone’s feathers were definitely ruffled. So Kyle had an issue with traitors? That was interesting to know.

He had his reason or what he did; and he frankly didn’t care-Obviously-what anyone thought about him. It’s not like he had excuses, but he had his own loyalties. They just weren’t what they all seemed to believe- but it was fine this way, better even. In fact it served in his favor if these kids went on believing what they wanted about him. It kept them out of his personal business.

He gave neither Kyle nor Bobbi the satisfaction of any response and just continued along till he entered the Mothership.
Still... this conversation did bring something to the surface. He’d been neglecting his own priorities for a while. Perhaps now was a good time to start investigating his options. He watched Bobbi enter, followed by Demyx who mentioned something about Booze?
Why not?

He cast a smirk in the musicians direction- “ Race you to the nearest bar? Last one to find it pays?”

[Joe: Hawaii: Village]

"Ninja hobo, eh? Well, let's see..." The male thought for a moment, before bringing up his hands to count down on his fingers. "Disney castle and the Hydra fight, then Agrabah and Aladdin losing his heart, the trip to the Underworld to get it back, Cory committing his first 'heinous' act of attacking one of us though he supposedly worked for Hades at the time, Narnia, Cory's main attack against us, Geists...." The male seemed to trail off for a second, before shaking his head. "They steal memories apparently. Then Ursula and her army. After that it was...Beast's Castle, where we met our evil replicas shortly after fighting a giant tentacled thing that I can't remember if we figured out what it was or not, and THEN fought Oogie Boogie, and then pirate ships, losing my eye to replicas after they got Jack's compass of desires, followed by an attack by some weird creature that stabbed me twice. Got the kickass scars to prove it. See?"

Joe tore his shirt open twice, revealing his left shoulder and right side. The scars weren't just stab marks, but actually veined out a little bit. A small side effect from the dark poison. They also were on the front and back, too.

"And then we got called to help out over here, and you saw giant war." Something clicked in the male's head. War...which means that in some of those ships there were people. He...had actually killed people? They could've survived, sure, but still....

The male shook his head. He wouldn't let himself care about enemies that chose to fight him and try to obliterate a village. Wasn't going to happen. Well, without a fight, at least.

"That pretty much covers the brunt of it." Yes, he purposely left out his fear of geists and being turned into an enemy. He was still...ashamed of that.

[Lex]

Lexaeus stared after Axel, silent. There was nothing to say. Right now, anyway. But the two of them were going to have a nice discussion later, when it was more convenient.

The people that previously worked with Zexion seemed to be right, though. Or at least they believed that they'd find Zexion again. And Lexaeus had no reason to not disagree. Look at where working alone had gotten him.

"You have a valid point, both of you. For now, I shall work alongside you." Not with, but alongside. Lexaeus made it clear they weren't 'allies', just 'people with a similar goal'. At least on one aspect.

[You have acquired GUEST:Lexaeus! Doodoodoo-doodoodoodoodoodoo~ Also Kyle, that was less at you and more at everyone else. After all, some people like being able to know things razz ]
