(Although it was never specified in FF: Incarcerated, this RP takes place in NYC. For me, at least. I'll probably leave anyway.)

Callum turned off the TV and looked at his clock. It was 2:00 A.M. He couldn't sleep ever since he learned a powerful game villain was inside him. Vanitas. Ever since Vanitas possessed him (If he did, maybe he was in there since birth, so gained influence) Callum had been a jerk. He didn't have any friends now. I hate you, Vanitas! He heard a scoff. Really? Do you? Callum summoned his keyblade. "I won't let this take me over. Vanitas, you won't win." His void gear looked ominous. Too ominous.

(I just said I am doing this one time, and it wont happen again. Man, I believe there are people out there in the world who like gotye and the song, but people here apparently dont really care for his music. And would you really watch a movie that doesnt have any music, including instrumental, or would you pick the movie with music in it?)

(OOC: None of us have a problem with music as a general rule, and we certainly like music in the background of movies and video games, but the problem isn't the music, it's that the two characters are having an arguement or spat or whatever in musical form. It would be rather silly for Sora to sing to Xemnas, for instance. Music is fine. Background music is fine as well. Two people who share strong feelings of mutual dislike singing against/with each other? Not so much.)

(OOC: You've awaited it for weeks and here it is! My return. Sorry about all the problems ladies and gents, but I will now use this time to explain myself. About a week ago, I realized my grades....weren't great. So I dropped out of college at the request of my academic advisor, my GPA remains intact, and I got out safe. I am not however just sitting down at home. I've been training intensly this entire time, I've already dropped ten pounds, and I'm meeting with a Marine Corps recruiter tomorrow. I don't have a phone right now, because my parents are preparing to cut off funds for me, and I'll be on my own from now on. I've been getting about three hours of sleep every night, so if my spelling is a bit off don't worry its just me being tired as all get out. I'm going to post times of when I'll be going into BT. That also means I'll be gone for 60 days after that date. But it shouldn't be soon. Infact I think it might be mid-May. But anyway, I'm back, and I'm 100% here to stay to the end guys If anything I only ask for prayers and thoughts. I guess everyone grows up sometime, I just had to grow up a bit faster than others...)

 

Felix looked around confused...and then ran. He had completly forgotten what he was doing. What was it? He was dropping everything...was it stress? Yeah...now he needed something, and fast. He'd finished running and was a good thirty yards away, he hunkered down behind a tree, and pulled a silver flask out of his pocket. He just needed a little whiskey to calm his nerves.

"Really?! Is this really the best time for that?? What would Rebekah think?!" Axel yelled.

"She wouldn't care...she's young...I'm old," he said chugging down the flask. He sobbed a bit...he knew that Axel was right, but he was just so stressed...and he kept seeing himself getting impaled like Marcus in his thoughts. It was ptsd before he'd even fought....

 

Scott decided enough was enough. He then surrounded himself in rose pettels and ended up behind the only person he could trust. Ethan. "Hey buddy..." he said with a dark grin.

(Really you guys? An argument about whether or not they can be in song? Just don't listen to the song, pretty simple. Anyways, why do you guys always post important stuff while I'm gone?)

 

-Elie

Elie watched from the sidelines, the whole argument between James and Joy, then the kiss between Joy and Mariah. She could sense Aerith's sadness. It practically leaked out onto her face.

'Kiss him once. For me. I never got to.' Aerith spoke to her.

'I don't think placing another pawn into this game of of love chess will help.'

'DO IT!!!' Elie felt a strong compellence towards Joy. She moved forward and kissed him on the lips. Aerith was obviously enjoying this.

 

-Tudi

Tudi was sort of angry at the big old guy who blew up their bus. But everybody else had it handled. She really wanted to go see Tifa. Tudi ran over to over where Joy and Mariah and another girl were. She saw the girl she didn't know kiss Joy. "Ooh, Tifa's not going to be too happy about that." Tudi accidentally said. She put a hand over her mouth.

 

-Sumer

Sumer blocked Sora's slash with his own sword. "You barely beat me, and that was only with the help of that duck and whatever the hell the other thing was." Sumer grinned evilly. He pushed Sora's blade off his own than stabbed him. He then released a Dark Pulse (something I just made up), a dark magic that sends everybody in a radius stumbling a few yards back.

Arina fell back a, but got to her knees and pushed herself up. She ran at Sumer and slashed her blade.

 

Alex tumbled back a bit. 'Why do i always have to fall back?'

'Your clumsy.'

'Thanks a bunch Roxas, i feel so much better.'

'Dont worry about that, worry about the lady tht can use darkness for a sec, before i have to take over.'

'Sheesh, you sound like my mom.'

Alex ran up to Sumer and readied his attack. 'You are so going to pay for that.'

(DAMION!!!!! *cries tears of joy and hugs you* It's awesome to finally have you back! I'm sorry to hear that things have been seemingly rough for you though. Good luck with BT and all that!)

-Sumer

"You barely beat me, and that was only with the help of that duck and whatever the hell the other thing was."

 

(^This made me laugh so hard. )

 

 

“Mmm, Hades? Very interesting,” Alexis said. She sighed as the temperature of the water rose. “As for the 'do-gooders' you're speaking of, Larxene's been pestering me about them off and on, but I've had better things to do than waste my time with them thus far, and I don't think they've even noticed me yet. What, they've been giving you trouble?” She dug two of her fingers into a bruise on Ethan's ribs.

 

When another man appeared behind them, she let out a disgusted sigh and turned to glare at him. “Excuse me, but who are you and what do you want? You're crashing a private party here.”

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

As soon as the kiss had ended, Mariah was completely shocked when Elie came over and kissed Joy. She couldn't even speak as her brain worked to process what was going on.

 

Cloud took control of Joy to make the whole situation a little less awkward, as he had the feeling that it was Aerith who was making Elie kiss Joy. Cloud kissed her back briefly, unable to help himself, then pulled away gently, his face turning slightly red. “Um, sorry, but I don't think now's the best time,” he said. He felt bad telling her that, but he also felt bad for Tifa, and was completely torn between the two of them. This was all getting way too complicated.

 

Mariah and Tifa stood there watching in confusion. Both felt jealousy rising up in them, but Tifa even more so, as she also knew it was probably Aerith who initiated the kiss.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Rebekah watched as Felix fled the battleground, hoping he was alright. She then glared up at the armored man and shot Triple Firaga at him.

 

 

(Number XV, I hope I'm conveying Joy and Cloud's current feelings correctly. Sorry if my post about them is inaccurate in any way!)

(OOC: Thanks Always. It's always good to hear from friends after a long absence. Pardon the horrible pun. )

 

Scott smirked at the bikini clad girl. "The name's Scott, inhabiter Marluxia...and Ethan here...is a friend? I guess?" he said with a questioning tone.

 

Felix sat there he looked at the empty flask with glazed eyes. His stress had disappeared so he stood up and staggered back to the battle, and looked at the armored man. "Hey...you look like a power ranger. You don't scare me anymore than my aunt in a tutu on Valentine's Day in the third grade!" he shouted. He summoned up his chakrams and threw them at the armored man awkwardly so that they would go down as if to hit the ankles, but then spin up towards the elbows.

(OOC: Awesome! You're back! It's been so awkward here on campus with you gone. I go to text you about grabbing lunch or whatever and then have to catch myself.)

 

"Hey there Scotty boy. I'd like you to meet Alexis here. If memory serves your two inhabitors got along pretty well, yes?" Ethan responded to Scott. Turning to Alexis he said, "Yeah, the brats just don't know when to quit. I mean, so I rob a few banks? What's the big deal?! You ought to get me, right?"

(OOC: Thanks Always. It's always good to hear from friends after a long absence. Pardon the horrible pun. )

 

(Pahahaha it actually took me a few minutes to catch the pun. )

 

 

Rebekah saw Felix return and ran over to him, surprised at his behavior. “Felix, what is your prob—?” She then smelled the alcohol on him. “You're drunk? Really?!” she said angrily. She got in front of Felix so that she could readily defend him if their opponent tried to attack him, knowing that his reaction time was now slowed, and shot Firaga Burst at the armored man.

(lol Poor James though. Nobody even noticed he was upset, or even left. Also, maybe Larxene could come into play with the whole James/Riku/Sephiroth thing? I always thought her and Riku would make an interesting couple.)

 

Seichi dodged the stab but got blasted back by the pulse. He landed on the ground and charged at Sumer, firing a ball of light at him.

(OOC: Yeah...I miss campus life...it's a lot better than home.)

 

Felix looked down. "Sorry...Rebekah...but don't worry I can......blandel myserf. Kk? Anthing this guy is going down right?" he said stammering. He walked beside her and coated his arms in fire. Drinking was definatly a bad idea...he could barely see straight, but he didn't want her to worry.

 

"Hey Ethan..." Scott said. He then walked into the spa house, changed, and then got into the water with the two of them. "So...I took out the CIA..." he said calmly.

"Of course you did. Wonderful. Well, that's one major thorn in our sides down, and a lot more tiny ones to go. They probably shouldn't be as hard individually, but somehow they always find each other in the nick of time and team up. Okay, okay, I know we don't play fair, but they're supposed to be the "good guys", ya know? how about they face us in even numbers, huh?" responded Ethan, relatively unfazed that Scott had joined him and his lady friend in the tub, but slightly worried that she might bail. You know what they say, three's a crowd, after all. He hoped that Scott's statement about the CIA would interest her enough to keep her nearby, though.

 

Troy used a quick Thundaga towards the armored man, but kept his distance for now, deciding it was best to see your foe's full potential before charging in.

"Now...I'm thinking the best way to get even numbers is if...well....this is going to sound a bit...well cruel, but if we take out other government organizations and then move to less hostile targets. A school...a church...or a hospital, easy pickings right?" Scott asked smiling brightly.

(@Azure Flame: Eh, maybe... LOL I just don't see the characters' personalities clicking together like Ethan/Hades and Lexi/Larxene, though. IDK, maybe she could seduce him for a bit or something, but I don't see her ever having real feelings for him. However, I do think James and Elie could go nicely together. Haha just a thought. And Mariah will take more notice of James's absence and hurt feelings in a little bit. I just don't want to control Joy/Cloud anymore than I have to, because I'm already not sure if I'm doing an okay job, so their little subplot will probably have to wait until Number XV comes back.)

 

 

Alexis made no move to leave when Scott joined them in the hot tub, and her interest was genuinely sparked when he talked about the CIA and targeting places like schools and churches and hospitals. “Hmm...I think I like you already,” she said with a smirk. “But please, do tell how you took out the CIA.”

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Rebekah stepped away from Felix when he coated his arms with fire, not wanting him to accidentally burn her. “Can you? I'm not so sure, if you can't even speak correctly.” She turned toward the bus. “Keilani! Get the alcohol out of his system, will you? An Esuna spell should work.”

 

Keilani put a Barrier around herself and ran out of the bus, then cast Esuna on Felix. She decided not to ask Rebekah why she was talking about alcohol at the moment.

Edited April 30, 201213 yr by Always

(Yeah, but I think Alexis could try and turn James along with the seduction.)

(OOC: Lol, actually getting rid of alcohol poisoning would be more in line with Esuna or the like, but a cure spell works fine. Also, what if Ethan runs along with it, knowing full well that Alexis is manipulating James and trying to play it all off as an older brother type figure to James?)

 

"Yeah Scott, give us the deets on how you took down one of the largest and most powerful law organizations of our time," added Ethan, eager to distract from the fact that he was having a hard time not looking at Lex. His legitimate interest in the story also reinforced this.

Felix felt clear... "Woah...that's just awesome!! I feel.....sorry. Rebekah I'm sorry....I swear to you...I'll never touch the stuff again..." he said as tears rolled from his eyes. He then looked at her, pulled out the flask, and chucked it at the armored man. He then caused his chakrams to reappear in his hands. "Let's finish this bastard off and then we can talk ok?" he asked with a smile.

 

Scott looked at her, and while looking as stone faced as possible said, "It wasn't easy, but I went in disguised as an agent. I stole some fool's security card while he was in the bathroom. I quickly took him out and slammed his face in the toilet. The next part was easy. I went to the top floor and slowly executed them in close quarters combat with my scythe...they didn't even have time to pull out their guns, and then I worked my magic on their main computers and ordered a section 38 protocol 6. Which caused an airstrike on Langely, Virginia as a whole...you won't hear about it on the news. A section 38 protocol 6 is activated when the CIA is found to be dirty by both DHS and the FBI. The protocol dictates the complete anihilation of all agents world wide, and the destruction of the entire town of Langley. That's how I did it. I escaped by figuring out how to teleport with rose pettels..."

(Sounds good to me.)

(OOC: Lol, actually getting rid of alcohol poisoning would be more in line with Esuna or the like, but a cure spell works fine)

 

(Oooops, you're right. Haha I hardly ever use Esuna when I'm playing KH, so I often forget that spell even exists. *edited*)

 

(Yeah, but I think Alexis could try and turn James along with the seduction.)

 

(OOC:Also, what if Ethan runs along with it, knowing full well that Alexis is manipulating James and trying to play it all off as an older brother type figure to James?)

 

(Yeah! I'm down with that plan.)

 

 

Rebekah was surprised at the tears on Felix's face. “Um...yeah, sounds good,” she replied, not knowing what they would be “talking” about later on. Aqua laughed again. Seriously, Aqua, WHAT?!

 

“Nothing. Let's just finish the guy off, like Felix said.”

 

Rebekah rolled her eyes. Fine. But you'd better tell me what you keep laughing at once this is over!

 

“Oh, don't worry, I'm betting you'll find out soon enough.”

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Keilani felt like she was invading something at that moment, and she smiled mischievously and left. As she ran, she looked at Troy to make sure he was doing okay, and when she saw that he was, she got back into the bus to wait for the next instance in which she would be needed.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

Alexis laughed hysterically. “That's marvelous! You sure do know how to go after something. Now, let's talk more about your plans with these 'less hostile targets.' It sounds like too much fun!”

Edited April 30, 201213 yr by Always

(Elie and James? Did you forget that Sephiroth stabbed Aerith?!)

 

-Elie and Tudi

Elie pulled away from Joy. "Sorry, I don't know what came over me." Elie apologized. She had enjoyed the kiss way too much. "I'll just leave you two alone then." She said. Elie was on the verge of crying, but it was probably only because of Aerith. She walked past Mariah and whispered. "Your better for him anyway."

'Whose side are you on anyway?' Aerith yelled at her inside her head. Paying no attention to her, Elie turned around to see a younger girl. "Yuffie, is that you?" she asked her, sensing that presence. "Yep! And you are? Wait, lemme guess? Red XIII?" Tudi replied. "Wait, wait, wait! Your Aerith!"

 

-Sumer

Sumer felt all of the projectiles hit him at once, yet none of them seemed to hurt him. 'I used Dark Absorb since you are too incompetent to use it yourself!' Ansem scolded Sumer. 'Now just release all that absorbed energy.' Sumer proceeded to to do as Ansem suggested. It came out as a large beam of concentrated darkness. "Woo, boy! Now this is what I'm talking about!" Sumer yelled out.

 

 

(Does Sumer seem too powerful to you guys? I just feel like he's a little weak and I'm trying to counteract that by giving him lots of magic, but I'm afraid he's getting too powerful. I can tone it down if you'd like. Almost all of the good guys are trying to kill me at once, and that isn't helping my situation.)

Felix blushed and then looked at the armored man and got into a battle stance.

 

"Well its simple really. Once the DHS and FBI are gone too, the whole country will be in disarray, and all of the undercover special agent operatives will be gone. Then when the whole country is in disarray we seperate the heroes with a series of school massacres, hospital bombings, and church burnings. Kids dead, patients blasted apart, and religion in ashes....the heroes will have to try to find a source right?" Scott said with an evil smile, "Then once they are all split up, only a fraction will actually find us. Making it five on two or three instead of fifteen or twenty..."

(Elie and James? Did you forget that Sephiroth stabbed Aerith?!)

(Does Sumer seem too powerful to you guys? I just feel like he's a little weak and I'm trying to counteract that by giving him lots of magic, but I'm afraid he's getting too powerful. I can tone it down if you'd like. Almost all of the good guys are trying to kill me at once, and that isn't helping my situation.)

 

(Oh, I haven't forgotten, but it could make things all the more interesting. James and Mariah had a similar situation in FF: Incarcerated, as Sephiroth tried several times to kill Tifa, but James and Mariah still fell in love with each other. Anyway, I think that James and Elie's personalities would be compatible. Haha but it's ultimately up to you and Azure Flame, obviously.

As for Sumer, I don't think he's too powerful here. I mean, the final boss as Riku in CoM?? Yeah, Ansem is pretty powerful. )

 

 

Rebekah gasped and put a Barrier up in front of herself and Felix when the beam shot down at them, but she was still thrown back several yards, as the beam was the stronger force of the two. She threw a Seeker Mine at the armored man.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

“I like it,” Alexis said. “How about it, Ethan? If I still know anything about you, it's that you won't turn down an opportunity like this.”

(That's what would make it interesting. And about Sumer, Sephiroth was so much stronger in the previous RP.)

 

Seichi blocked the attack just in time, but still got knocked back. He got to his feet and charged once more.

 

James flew around aimlessly until he reached a city. He was shocked when he felt three Inhabiters nearby.

Felix flew back beside her. Then smirked. "Wow...that's all?" he said with a huff. He ran at the masked man quickly, throwing one chakram at him, and a huge fire ball at him with his other hand.

 

Satisfied with his work Scott put his arms behind his head and flexed as he stretched. Ok so his new plan...train these two to his level, and then have them cut eachother down...he'd take the winner...

Larxene began speaking through Alexis. “Well, Marluxia, it's good to see you again. Sorry about leaving you behind back in Castle Oblivion, but it turns out the little hero got lucky during the last battle I had with him.” She wasn't about to admit that Sora had just flat-out defeated her, and luck had little to do with it. She then looked up toward the ceiling, though there wasn't actually anything to see there. “Hmm...I think we have company,” she said, not knowing whether to feel annoyed or pleased just yet. Maybe both.
