"Eat me?" Larxene's right eyebrow twitches in reply to his cocked one, "That's one way of putting it." Larxene steps away from the door, crossing her arms and bowing her head in thought. The people outside, if worst comes to worst, then the people outside might be Axel or Saix or the both of them. Inside, however, who knows what lurks in this dreary castle? Looking up to have her eyes meet a grinning gargoyle on the door frame, she narrows her eyes in annoyance.
She sighs as she gestures for Luxord to follow, "Fine, we're going back." She holds the knob, but hesitates before opening, "I just hope that you're not one to hold grudges over things I barely remember doing."
Without waiting for Luxord's reply, Larxene turns the knob and steps down the staircase with confidence, a total opposite to the girl cowering behind the door hissing with agitation. Come what may, eh? It is a pity that what may come to her is so unromanticized.

Main Hall
Tilting his head slightly to survey the ragtag group, with slightly more curiosity than disdain - unlike his brother - Kadaj murmured his acquiescence to his brother's comment.
The blue dog thing was still growling at them, oversized ears flattened against his head, which was really, really annoying. Nevertheless, he made no move to attack them. Like a bloodhound, Kadaj could sense fear, and he knew that one of the people in the group was afraid of them, the strange looking one with the long sideburns?
While a part of him took a strange sort of...delight at the fear, the larger part was more occupied with who they were and what they were doing in this castle.
Were they wanderers as well? They seemed to surprised to see them, and quite apparently, not about to throw them out for trespassing. He was quite about to address them once again when the sound of a knob turning caught his attention. A blonde woman - relatively pretty, he supposed - emerged.
Would this one be the owner, then?

Wherever Xaldin and Stitch and Marluxia are...
Xigbar followed lazily along, his mind lost in his own thoughts. He didn't like what he was thinking, and he had nobody in the world who he could talk them over with. Well... The one person he wanted to talk to currenly scared the everliving s**t out of him, and that wasn't going to do any good.
He cast his gaze up to the newcomers and glanced away at the ground. He really... It was as if he didn't care right now. He let out a low sigh and looked back to the newcomers and shifted his weight from side to side.
He should really pay attention to things sometimes....
(( Which is my excuse saying that I'm in college now and gonna be busy. biggrin ))

Castle--Foyer
Yazoo glanced at Kadaj as the question of who they were was asking from the ugly one. Who they were...that could be answered. But why they were here...that was why they'd come to this castle. They'd come in search of answers. His brother didn't seem to be answering. Just as Yazoo was about to start the answer, a blonde woman decided to show herself.
With a small flurry of silver locks, Yazoo jerked his head to look at her, his hand probably visibly on Velvet nightmare.
Goodness. Why did everyone they ran into have to be totally revulting? The woman had the worst hair he'd seen in a while, and Yazoo made another disgusted face. Honestly! The man with pink hair was quite easily the only one besides his brother that wasn't hideous.

Marluxia saw the two...men? Yes, they were men. Xaldin questioned them, but as soon as it looked as if one was about to answer, the sound of a door opening made him turn his head sharply. His eyes had narrowed at the sudden noise, but they soon turned wide. The man moved towards her swiftly, meeting the girl at the bottom of the stairs.
"Larxene." he said, a final tone in his voice. Yes, finally. He had spoken with her on the internet, and had patiently waited for her to emerge. As patiently as he possibly could, anyway.

Stopping at the middle of the staircase, Larxene raises one eyebrow at the people she sees gathering in the main hall of the castle. There are other people she does not quite recognize but what caught her eyes were two men dressed in tight leather jacket. It seems rather... kinky. She fought the urge to say something derogatory and walks down the stairs until she is at the bottom.
Catching sight of a pink-haired man walking towards her, she turns to him and gives him a fond smirk. The look on his face is truly priceless, "So anxious to meet me, hm?" A mischievous grin appears right about now on Larxene's face.

The man sighed, giving her the look that said 'Don't be ridiculous'.
"Well, with you hiding behind a door, I was wondering just when you'd come out and join us." he replied. He could only banter like this with Larxene, though he made the excuse that it was because of their pasts as Nobodies, and how they spent a lot of time together working to take over the Organization. That grin on her face was all too familiar, and he couldn't help but smirk.
"Where's Luxord?"

Main Castle
When it didn't look like the new arrivals were going to attack, Stitch relaxed slightly, although his hackles were raised. Stupidheads were always under the impression that the tiny summon wasn't able to do much damage despite his size, and he had only been too happy to prove them wrong.
But still. He looked up as Pinky went to the blonde woman, and since the tiny critter's loyalty was firmly affixed to The Great Pink One at the moment, he dutifully followed.
Besides, he was curious, too.
~~
Kadaj watched as the...thing and the man went over to the blonde woman, and frowned slightly. It was clear as day that Yazoo was less than impressed by the newest arrival, and he had to fight not to smile. His brother's mannerisms were becoming familiar to him now, and that was a comfortable thought.
He hated not knowing anything, and the blankness that now served as his memories were getting rather irritating.
"Now that the heartwarming welcome is over," Kadaj decided to speak, although not unpleasantly - not too much, anyway - he continued. "Do you mind telling us where we are, and who you all are?"
He supposed he wasn't used to being polite, considering the awkward way he felt, but to hell with it. Information gathering was the most important, at the moment, and if he could get it by being...nice, who cared?

"Hiding?" Larxene raises one eyebrow jokingly at Marluxia. "Larxene hides from nothing, boy," coming from someone other than him, she would have taken those words offensively and given them an angry retort, but this is Marluxia, and they are... friends, so it is alright for him to say those things to her. In another life, she used to be able to banter like this with Axel, as well, but these days, it is utterly impossible. And yet, it isn't like she misses that life.
While she won't admit it to anyone, having a heart is rather nice. It does not feel as empty as before, and it is warmer, she supposes. Marluxia's question brings her back from her thoughts and she points backwards with her thumb, "He was with me behind the door, 'should come out soon."
Glancing at Kadaj with her trademark 'bored' look, she gives him a small smirk. Not a mischievous one, fortunately for Kadaj. "I'm Larxene~" she says with a lilt to her voice, "and according to my friend here, we're in Beast's Castle."

Inside front hall
Xaldin looked towards Marluxia, finding him going for a blond woman. Larxene, huh? Looking back at Kadaj's question, Larxene had spoken before anyone else.
This didn't feel right...something told him he wasn't allowed here. Something told him he would die here if he stayed. But why? Then it struck him.
Xaldin will never be allowed in my Castle! A deep, growling voice echoed in his head. Beast. This was Beast's Castle, hense the name. That beast would kill him if he saw him. Rip him to shreads. Fear throbbed in his heart at the thought. He didn't want to die...
"We cannot stay here...he'll find us. We're not allowed here." He said after a moment, looking around himself as if he were to get jumped upon without warning. "He might find us...and kill us all."

(OOC: Excuse my absence.)
Luxord's blue eyes held the utmost curiosity when his blonde, female companion (and first companion to his memory) turned that knob and escaped the recesses of the corridor from which they had paused to negotiate the possible intentions of those who had approached the main foyer of the castle, and he kept his arms crossed over his chest and followed her...only after a moment of delay.
Luxord thought about his own intentions, his own goals, his own destination. He hardly knew his name, yet...it was there. And so, he decided to go by that name instead of picking out a truly ridiculous, super-hero-esque title that may land him in more of an embarassing scenario than it was necessary. He would have to make a point to avoid those rocks and hard places as much as possible.
He stepped out and let his eyebrows raise in surprise. There were more people than he had originally anticipated. The gambler turned on his charms and uncrossed his arms from his chest, offering a friendly wave.
"My name is Luxord...although, some of you...seem to know my name," the blonde furrowed his brow, feeling at his goatee. "Ironic, for, I'd just been reminded of it by Larxene."
His attention then shifted to that of the man with dreadlocks, and his eyebrows knitted together again. He said, with just a hint of anxiety, "Kill us all? What do you mean... ...Excuse me, I did not catch your name."

Ah, much better.
The blonde woman's name was Larxene, and they were in some Beast's Castle, whoever he was. Inclining his head slightly towards the blond woman, keeping up the nice charade and knowing that his brother probably wasn't going to do so in the near future - considering the almost revolted look on his face when he saw them.
Well then. That settled the problem of where they were.
Somewhat.
And...the woman introduced herself, did that mean he was supposed to reciprocate? ...Probably. "Kadaj," he said simply, silver locks shifting with every miniscule movement. Amused by the lilt in her tone, the young man responded as well, silken voice deceptively gentle. " My brother, Yazoo."
Brilliant cat-like eyes narrowing at the dreadlocked man's next words, Kadaj could almost taste the fear he was emanating. Really, was he afraid of everything?
Glancing over at his brother and sharing a faintly unimpressed look, Kadaj simply looked back at the dreadlocked man and shrugged. Kill them? Hardly. The two brothers had alot more skill than that. Perhaps the Beast - whoever it was - wanted to kill the dreadlocked man?
But where was the fun in killing off someone who was already afraid?
Not really giving a damn about whether they were 'allowed' or not, Kadaj was about to tell the dreadlocked man just what he thought of this particular Beast thing when yet another blonde man stepped out behind the girl.
Tall, polite, and relatively easy on the eyes - he wondered if Yazoo would think so, as well - Kadaj watched him curiously...
..until that anxiety of his made the silver-haired man roll his eyes. They were afraid of a...Beast? Kadaj, for one, knew that he'd somehow seen things alot worse - although what they were, he still had no idea - and he exhaled, a tad bit impatiently.
Well....it looked like they were going to be with this group for a while...at least until their usefulness wore off.
"If this Beast thing owns this castle, he'll already know that we're here." Frankly speaking, Kadaj would like to see just how this beast was going to take both him and his brother down. They had worked seamlessly as a team, even despite their memory loss, and both were deadly fighters in their own right.

Castle--Foyer
Larxene, hm? The silver-haired young man though lightly as the woman spoke, a lilt in her voice. This group was getting very tiring very fast, and Yazoo could tell that his patience would wear thin before the group was no longer of use. But Kadaj...he glanced at his brother. The was being polite to them. How odd. Well, he could at least follow suit.
Inclining his head lightly as he was introduced, Yazoo looked around at the group. The extremely disgusting man seemed completely and totally afraid. Honestly. He needed some back bone, that man. It was literally pathetic.
Though, the idea of someone killing Yazoo and his brother didn't quite impress him. He glanced at Kadaj, catching his eye from a moment. The chances of them dying were extremely low. They were a perfect team. Completely deadly--even on their own.
Another man came in. Blonde, gruff, tall, and polite. Well, his appearance wasn't light on the eyes, but it wasn't going to harm Yazoo, at least. He glanced at Kadaj, who was watching curiously....until the other man was anxious. Then his brother rolled his eyes.
Yazoo smirked. At least he wasn't the only one that found being afraid of a monster completely immature and pathetic.
"If this Beast thing owns this castle, he'll already know that we're here." The words had come from his brother.
Heh. Displaying some of that good sense of the obvious, eh, Kadaj? Yazoo thought with another light smirk.
"I'd have to agree," was all Yazoo found he needed to say. There was nothing that he needed to imput on. Well, the pure disgusting appearances of his "companions" was something he had a deal of trouble not mentioning that. Kadaj had wanted to be respectful, from what he could tell. Yazoo would have done things a bit different...but Kadaj could lead. He didn't have a problem with that. His brother's sense was well enough. He glanced at the Kadaj again.

Caste-Courtyard
Jenova....
Protomateria....
Omega...
Chaos...
Reunion...
Lucrecia shot up from the ground, a gasp of horror escaped her lips. She gripped her head in pain, nightmares...more nightmares. Her head was throbbing painfully, she felt like she was going to be sick.
"No....not another one....I don't want to hear anymore I don't!" she cried out and buried her face into her knees, bringing them close to her body. She huddled there for a time. Events of 30 years past flickering faintly in her mind...
"I...I didn't mean too..." she whispered very absently. Lifting her head up and staring at what seemed to be a courtyard.
Reality finally shank in. She looked around, carefully studing her surroundings. Lucrecia didn't know how she got out of the mako crystal...or even how she came to this...where ever it was.
Slowly, she pulled herself to her feet and tried to brush the dirt off her dress. There was a castle behind her....maybe somone inside could help her.
Lucrecia approched the door, shivering a bit from cold, and fright. She lightly pushed the door, only to jump a bit when it swung in all the way. She poked her head into the doorway,
"Um...E-Excuse me...?"

((LUCRECIA. *points at* ....there will be no spoilers for Dige of Cerberus...right? :3?))
Marluxia watched the two silver haired...men? Yes, they were men. They seemed always ready for something, with Yazoo constantly having his hand near his gun. Fortunately the were on their side. For now...How long would that last? Brushing the thoughts aside, he had noted Luxord being there earlier. He was just as confused as all the ex-Organization members were in the beginning. Though from what Larxene had said on the internet before, he had the normal gambler thoughts already running through his head.
Unfortunately.
"And so do I. I highly doubt Beast will be able to defeat all of us." he replied calmly. He had spoken with Saix, and apparently Beast's Castle was like Xaldin's old grave.
That explained his behavior.
A sudden noise made the man's head jerk towards the entrance, eyes narrowing. A woman stood, pretty, with brown hair. She was, obviously, not going to harm anybody. But it was always good to be careful just in case.
Marluxia summoned a petal surreptiously, holding it in his clenched fist. He doubted he needed to use the petal to summon his scythe, but better safe than sorry, as he had learned a very long time ago.
