(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.

James blushed and nodded, getting up with her. "L-lead the way." he said. He couldn't believe this was hapening, but he was happy too.

Ethan smiled at Scott. "Sounds good to me. We've got a lot to talk about, after all." Turning to James he said "Yeah, go ahead and grab the money from my tab and you two have a wonderful time. It's always nice to make a new friend, especially if it makes an old friend of mine so happy." On the inside, the whole display was making Ethan sick. That James kid had just met Alexis and now this? It was nearly soft core porn for heaven's sakes! Mostly though he was just frustrated that it was with Lex. He would never admit it, especially to himself, but he actually had feelings for Alexis, as absurd as it may sound.

 

On the other side of things, everything was finally going his way. He had just made a new ally, was going to be taught by the best how to fight even better than ever before, and he'd met a new weapon to be wielded by them all, the key to which was Lexi. Oh, Ethan definitely remembered this kid from the news two years ago. He had been a massive threat and only ever died or lost because of the feelings he had for Mariah, that girl Ethan himself had faced just recently and the reason he had gone to the spa where all of these other wonderful things had occurred. He supposed he should thank her actually. Mariah had made all of this possible, after all. Now that James didn't care for her and had not one but two inhabitors he would be a very powerful weapon for them to use. Look out world, it's our turn to be the victors.

“Oh, forget dinner, that can wait,” Alexis said. As she stood up with James, she noticed with aversion that he was a few inches shorter than her. Oh...lovely, she thought. She kept the inviting smile plastered on her face and looked back at Ethan and Scott. “Catch you boys later!” she said, winking at them. She then took James's hand and guided him as far as the doorway of the women's changing room. “Meet you in the lobby.” She then let go of his hand and went in to change.

James went into the men's changing room and got changed. He still couldn't believe this was happening. Once he was dressed, he went to the lobby and waited for her.

In the changing room, Alexis made the necessary preparations: conditioned and dried her hair so that it would be soft and silky, then applied one of the scented lotions she had purchased at the spa to her skin. Finally she got in front of the mirror to ready herself mentally, looking herself in the eye and breathing slowly and evenly. “Here we go again,” she muttered, squeezing the edges of the counter and desperately wishing for a drink right now. But she would never drink in the process of seducing someone—she never had before, and wasn't about to start. Too risky. She would wait until she was alone, and then get wasted.

 

Once she was dressed in her usual attire—black boots, flared jeans, and a black leather jacket with a white spaghetti-strap top underneath, she exited the changing room and met James in the lobby. She took his arm and said, “Come on, let's go.” Then she guided him to her black, two-seated Ferrari.

"Wow." James said, seeing her all dressed up. He blushed and followed her to her car and got in the passenger seat.

Alexis smiled as she started driving. “So tell me, James: what's it like having Sephiroth of all people as your Inhabiter? I can't imagine how powerful it must make you feel.”

"Alright Ethan it's time for buisness. Here's how it goes...I've planned how we're going to do this. I want to see how you feel about it. Factoring in our two new bloods we'll split in teams of two, I'm thinking you and the kid, but that's only because you can trick him easily. Make him believe that you are her big brother, that we are working for her, and that this is her plan. Trust me, this guy's track record on doing anything and everything for a woman is off the charts, and if you are related to her we can make him do anything...even kill," Scott said with a smile, "Then once we've completed those steps...we can worry about taking out the weaklings...and eachother. I think the woman should go last that way we can manipulate James longer. So...it'll be me and you ok?"

(Really? I left to go to bed, go to school, and then watch Thor, and three more pages are already up? Could someone please tell me what happened while I was gone?

 

And I am sorry for my attitude earlier, I was just too tired and mad last night to settle down, so I sorta took it out on here.)

"Sounds easy enough. Just you and me at the end, yeah? If I win, then I escape with my life and can do whatever I want. If you win, you get to accomplish your goal of ridding the world of inhabitors altogether," responded Ethan. He had absolutely no intention of allowing it to get to that point, however. He would take out Scott when he was at his weakest. Right after Scott had trained Alexis and himself to fight even better than they could now, Ethan would get Lexi to help him take Scott down, telling James that Scott had turned on them and tried to attack Lexi herself so that he would join them. Ethan had no issues with most of the inhabitors, so he'd let them live so long as they didn't go interfering in whatever he wanted to do. Some of them, though, would have to die, and by who else but the lord of death?

(Really? I left to go to bed, go to school, and then watch Thor, and three more pages are already up? Could someone please tell me what happened while I was gone?

 

(LOL can't you just read all the posts yourself? I didn't think they were that uninteresting. Mariah and Joy basically got back together, but then Elie kissed Joy, making things more complicated. Most of the people from the bus are fighting Sumer [come to think of it, I wonder why that battle is at a stand-still right now...], and I introduced a new character, Alexis, who is Inhabited by Larxene. Alexis, Scott, and Ethan are working together and getting James on their side to help fight off all the "good" Inhabiters. Oh, and Scott took out the CIA. And I think that's pretty much it.)

(Plus Felix, Rebekah, Troy, Keilani, and others are fighting Sumer.)

 

Scott nodded. "I doubt we'll get to that point. Your eyes tell me I should watch my ass..." he said with a smirk, "Don't think it'll be easy." He stood up, turned around, and exited the spa. "I'll see you at the hotel...I'm going to tail the other two back to the hotel and get a room across the hall," he said leaving. Cocky....thats what Ethan was, and Scott believed that would be a plus for him in their fight.

(OOC: Lol, Always actually said that.)

 

Ethan smirked. "You do that, perv. I'm gonna chill here for a bit more then probably go grab some pizza and watch a movie. I'll see ya tomorrow for training, right?" he responded. As Ethan was saying these things, he grabbed his phone from beside the tub he was in and text a number he hadn't for a very long time. "Hey Lex," it read, "meet me later on when you tire of boys. You'll know where to find me."

(So wait, the CIA is knocked out? So that means Victoria's operation is at a stand still without the powers to do anything with their technology?)

Alexis smiled as she started driving. “So tell me, James: what's it like having Sephiroth of all people as your Inhabiter? I can't imagine how powerful it must make you feel.”

 

"Sephiroth is incredibly powerful." he said. "So powerful that he actually warped my personality before actually taking me over two years ago. However, with Riku's help, I've been able to seal some of his power temporarily."

(So wait, the CIA is knocked out? So that means Victoria's operation is at a stand still without the powers to do anything with their technology?)

 

(Haha I'm not entirely sure, you'll have to ask Damion on that one.)

 

"Sephiroth is incredibly powerful." he said. "So powerful that he actually warped my personality before actually taking me over two years ago. However, with Riku's help, I've been able to seal some of his power temporarily."

 

(LOL just wondering, why do you keep referring to two years ago? I thought this RP took place only one year after the first?)

 

 

 

“Wow! Well, you and Riku must be very powerful to seal away someone like Sephiroth, even temporarily,” Alexis mused. “But you said...Sephiroth came back because the woman you loved left you for someone else? I find that a bit odd...almost as if he's on your side or something...”

(I thought it was two, not one sorry.)

 

"No, it's because of the darkness." he said. "I was mad at the other guy for taking her away from me and he was able to come back from the darkness in my heart." He looked around and asked "So how close are we to your place?" He was trying to change the subject.

'Wait Alex, i am getting a bad feeling about Sumer.'

'Really what?'

'She has Ansem'

'Wait, Ansem as in 'the' Ansem.'

'Yeah.'

'Great...that makes things worse.'

Alex looked over to Seichi.

'Since i have your nobody want to do some cool unison raid on Sumer?"

“We are getting close. In fact, we're here,” Alexis replied. She soon brought the car to a stop and looked straight at James. “But before we go in, there's something I'd like to ask you. You don't have to answer right away, but just keep it in the back of your mind, ponder it for a while. What's wrong with a little darkness? It seems that it only shows up when the people you loved, the people you thought you could trust, betray you. Like it wants to help you. If they're such good people, so full of light, then why are they hurting you in such terrible ways? Hell, they probably all have darkness in them, and they use it, too—they're just good at hiding behind a mask of light. So why not you? I'm just saying, if I were in your situation, I wouldn't let those cold-blooded fakes get away with what they did to me. Think about it.” She got out of the car and noticed she had received a text message from Ethan. Hm, forgot I still had his phone number, she thought. She smirked at the message and texted him back: 'Can't wait. I'll be there as soon as the lost puppy runs out of energy.' She put her phone away and waited for James to accompany her to the hotel entrance.

Joy felt guilty. He loved Elie's kiss. He stood up, and made sure not to be facing Elie or Mariah. "Um, sorry." As he was about to run out, a hand stopped him. "Where do ya think you're going, Joy?" Joy gasped. "I forgot you were there, Vanitas." Vanitas summoned his keyblade, and Joy barely had time to duck. He looked at Elie. "Get Mariah outta here! She's too weak!" Vanitas's keyblade swiped him across the chest, and he felt a cut and blood soaking his shirt.

"I never thought of that." James said, following her. He went in with her.

 

"Yeah, let's do it." Seichi said, giving him a thumb's up.

 

(Sumer is a guy)

(dang.....lost my mind completely there, i apologize for that)

 

Alex raised his sword in the air, and motioned for Seichi to copy him.

'Ready Roxas?'

'Lets go.'

A slight light started to glimmer from his sword. 'On my countt Seichi. One...two...THREE.'

“Joy!!” Mariah screamed when she saw the boy slash him. Weak or not, she was going to stay with Joy and fight by his side. She ran at the boy and swung her leg to kick him.

 

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

 

“Vanitas!” Aqua exclaimed.

 

Rebekah could feel Aqua tugging her away from the current fight. Wait, Callum's here? Rebekah thought. What about Mariah?

 

“She's near Vanitas! We have to hurry!”

 

Rebekah looked back at Felix and felt conflicted for a moment. “I-I'm sorry, I have to go! I'll still be waiting for that talk, though.” With that, she dashed off and soon found Mariah, Callum, Joy, Tudi, and another girl. Mariah was fighting Callum at the moment, and Joy was bleeding from a wound. She ran up to Joy. “Here, let me heal you,” she offered, and started pointing her Keyblade into air.

 

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

 

Alexis took James by the arm again and led him to the elevator of the fancy hotel, and then to her room at the top floor. When they reached her door, she looked down at him, put her hands on both his shoulders, and started to massage him, leaning in close. “There's darkness in my heart too, you know,” she whispered in his ear. “I'll show you how it's properly used.” She grinned and pulled him inside the room, shutting the door behind them.

 

 

(Aaaand the rest is censored, folks.)

(Dang )

Joy nodded at the girl, who he recognized. "Thanks." Vanitas got hit as the kick slammed into his chest. He skidded back a couple of feet, and growled. "Play times over." He jabbed his keyblade forward, towards Mariah's chest.

(Aaaand the rest is censored, folks.)

 

(OOC: I laughed so hard at that one.)

 

Troy saw Rebekah rushing away and felt a tug to go that direction to from Ven. "It's Callum, that guy with Vanitas, isn't it?" Troy asked. "He's my responsibility! He's part me!" replied Ventus. "No," answered Troy, facing Sumer once more after getting up from being blown back by his attack, "Vanitas is everyone's problem, not just yours. Besides, clashing against him may just cause more harm than good for now. Let's trust that the others will be able to handle things and just focus on the enemy before us right now. We have to help Seichi, Alex, and Felix defeat this guy." Troy then turned to Felix and shouted "Come on! Let's join them in the attack!"
