Who: A visibly bothered momma Axel and YOU
When: Sometime around sundown today, I guess
Where: Park
Style: I'll match
Status: Ongoing and open

This past week has been a train wreck, though Axel would go so far as to call that an understatement. The curse had been fine at the start, and he'd even contacted the entire dome about it all for the sake of some harmless entertainment, but as the days went on he found it more and more difficult to talk, namely with certain people. Of course, the unexpected arrival of a certain someone did nothing to alleviate his stress.

Thankfully that week is done and with it the curse. Still bothered by various thoughts, however, he leaves the apartment right at sundown... with three little ones following behind him: a yellow, red, and a light blue chocobo. He doesn't mind it. It fact, part of the reason why he's out anyway is that he can give them some fresh air. It's better than them camping in his hair all day.

Once at the park, he finds a quiet spot at the edge of the nearby pond to sit and watch the little birds frolic about, pecking at the ground and fluttering their tiny wings. But something's clearly distracting him. At one point he has to stand and just pace, because his body doesn't want to sit still. What's supposed to happen now, he wonders? With Sora and Roxas, Namine and Kairi and even Riku all here--

Now that Saix is here, what's going to happen?

It's the sound of peeping and rustling in the tall grass which snaps Axel out of his thoughts and makes him glance over in time to see that the red chocobo has climbed up on a rock and accidentally fallen into the water. Even as shallow as the water is, for a little guy, the pond might as well be an ocean.

"Hey," he calls out just as he hurries over to wade through the water and scoop up the bird before it hurts itself. If you happen to be wandering by, don't mind him. Or one of the baby chocobos coming over to say hello at your feet.

Who: Saix and anyone

He'd been in the process of dying. Saix knows that much.

His mind doesn't usually fool him, not in that sort of way at the very least. Everything had been too vivid to be some sort of- dream. He had been fighting the Keyblade Wielder. He had failed. He'd been on his knees, wondering how everything had gone so wrong... And now he's here. His brain just can't understand it.

Then again, that might be because of the blood loss.

Anyone passing through at this bizarre time of night who catches sight of him should be able see the signs. Even seated on the edge of the fountain like he is, shoulders hunched, it's clear he's trembling just slightly. His skin is far too pale, and his breathing is just a bit too quick. Even if he wasn't covered in salt water, his skin would be clammy. There's also the fact that strange shadowy wisps seem to be slipping from his body. They're very faint, however, nowhere as severe as they had been before he had been brought here. A slight relief. He doesn't even seem aware of the black little SFC or the shirt it's settled on besides him.

He'd seem a lot more vulnerable if not for the enormous claymore balanced between his legs, handle leaning against his thigh and the blade against the pavement. It takes a lot of strength to wield something like that...

Approach and hope for the best, or steer clear?

Yesterday was a day of celebration. For once, it seemed that the foreigners were able to affect the coral, and in a positive way at that. The coral lit back up, the barrier strengthened, and everything looked like it was back to normal again.

Unfortunately, it doesn't last.

Overnight the coral begins to dim again, flickering wildly along with the bubble itself. Those who stayed up on the island might notice the strange lights coming up through the waves if they're awake. The ones who stayed in the bubble will notice more than that. The atmosphere is tense, and every now and then there's an echoing crack, like a massive piece of glass is slowly losing its integrity.

By the time the morning arrives, the crack in the bubble is evident. After hours of threatening it, the crack finally falls open with a thundering snap, allowing the ocean to rush in. It hasn't yet given up entirely, but there's a steady stream of water pouring in to the plaza and on to the coral. The waterfall would be a pretty sight if not for the situation.

Hopefully no one stayed down there that long.



((OOC: The bubble has cracked! Feel free to use this post as a mingle log if desired. The elevator is still functioning, so anyone down in the bubble will have some time to escape.))

Who: The Summoner and anyone that happens upon him
When: Later this evening
Where: The Middle district and whatever bar and/or store he finds himself in
Style: Action
Status: Open

[Guess everyone's still pretty busy with quests and all that, but- Summoner's kind of got a few other issues he's dealing with right now and those are what set him on his new quest: Get sloshed.]

[It's tricky though, because he's technically 'not allowed' to do so, but you know what? Fuck the man, and fuck his rules, and he is going to drink if he damn well wants to drink. He's too old for this hoofbeast play.]

[Perhaps you see our bard out on his quest, looking rather adamant as he moves through the middle district? Or maybe you see this aligerious man in the alcohol section of a shop, or most likely at the counter of a local bar, nursing a glass of some strong smelling spirit. Either way, he could probably use the companionship during his binge, anything to get his mind clear as he pumps liquor into his blood stream.]

[Or perhaps you're fortunate/unfortunate enough to stumble upon him while he's already bronze cheeked and feeling fine elsewhere, outside somewhere, mostly likely nearby where he had been drinking before, leaning up against something or sitting down on a bench- well collapsed on a bench like some kind of vagrant. Perhaps, perhaps.]

[Oh, and mind the horns and wings, they're a little cumbersome in small, packed places like pubs and stores.]

[OOC: Probably good to specify at what point in the night your character finds him in the title of your tag, just to makes things a little smoother.]

Who: Faris and the Nobodies (Demyx, Axel, and Roxas).
When: Monday
Where: Library
Style: Whatever you want
Status: Closed

[Faris emerges from the library after consulting with the librarian. Scratching his head for a moment because there wasn't a whole lot to say. The problem was obvious from all the screeching and jeering the harpies were doing on the roof.]

Try not to steal their tops. [Said to the rogues. Seriously, harpy boobs weren't something he wanted to see. They were bird things. Why did they even need them?] They wouldn't really fit ya right.

Get ready. [Faris then used taunt to lure them down from the roof.

It was super effective! One was lured down, and it was fuming mad! The others will join suit in a couple of turns so they have better finish this one off fast!]

Who: Roxas and Axel
When: Valentine's Evening
Where: Their apartment
Style: Whichever~
Status: Closed

As new and unsure as things still were between them, Roxas hadn't wanted to make a big deal out of Valentine's Day. Following some convention of big, obvious displays of romance would be uncomfortable for the both of them, he thought.

But, that didn't mean they couldn't do anything. On his way home from helping out at the host club, Roxas picked up some of those ubiquitous chocolates, a bag of candy hearts, and what looked to be a promising movie. Axel seemed totally fine with a movie night for Valentine's.

On getting back to the apartment, Roxas shut the door behind him and wandered out to the living room in search of his friend.

WHO: bitty!Roxas, bitty!Sora, Riku, and bitty!Axel/Lea.
WHEN: Backdated to the last night of the event and the next morning.
WHERE: Riku and Sora's apartment.
STATUS: CLOSED
STYLE: Action~ Since hopefully that'll go faster for all of us XD;;

[ Sora was sitting on the couch kicking his feet as he looked around at everyone. It felt nice to have friends in the house and he was the happiest he'd been all week. Not that he hadn't been happy earlier in the week but something told him tonight was a special night. ]

Who: Roxas and Axel
When: Evening
Where: Starting in their apartment
Style: Whatever you like♥
Status: Closed

On first entering the apartment, it wasn't obvious anything special was going on. Roxas was casually dressed (no one told him to be otherwise), all the usual lights were on, and though he looked eager to see his friend, it wasn't out of the ordinary for him to be so.

But there was a lingering smell of meat sauce in the kitchen, and on closer inspection the pillows were missing from the sofa. Roxas had managed to get everything ready while Axel was out of the apartment for a bit. The spaghetti was cooked and the candles were lit--but the set-up wasn't actually in the apartment. If there was one thing he thought he'd gotten right, it was location.

Who: Rainbowleer and the residents of Vatheon
When: Throughout Sunday
Where: The plaza area
Status: Open
Style: Whatever floats your boat, replies will be from 'ponyleer'

[During the morning until midday]

Don't get Darkleer wrong- being stuck in Rainbow Dash's body, the body of any kind of hoofbeast, is actually rather fun. While it would take nothing short of torture to get him to verbally admit it, it is obvious to anyone with common sense that he's rather happy. You know. When he isn't worrying about a stranger in his own STRONG body.

But there's been an event that's been bothering him all week, and today he can't help but soak in his own misery. Really, it was only a matter of time.

So anyone in the plaza today might notice a small light blue pony with wings and a rainbow on the hindquarters. Sometimes, Darkleer is just laying down on the lip of the fountain or a bench, looking plainly worried and sad. Other times, he's dragging himself about the area, pacing uneasily.

Bother a sad pony?

[In the afternoon]

You know what chases away the b100s temporarily? Flying does.

That sure is a pony zooming through the air and sometimes skirting dangerously close to the ground! Don't worry, Darkleer has gotten control of Rainbow Dash's wings now, he won't fly into anyone.

Probably.

Who: Vanitas + Whomever
Where: Yutopil 201 (Second floor, first room)
When: Wednesday Morning
Status: Closed to Roxas’ CR who knows where he lives
Style: Whatever rocks your socks man




[This would be déjà vu all over again for Roxas at least. The night before no one was there and every thing was normal, and then suddenly someone was taking up space on the couch. This time was a little different. Vanitas would be found sitting in front of the sofa that Ventus was sleeping on.

His black tail was flicking back and forth as he perched his chin on the cushion by Ven’s feet. Vanitas had been hit with the curse much in the same way as his other two face twins might have been.

Looks like he decided to puppy or maybe kitty guard his worthless other. Warning, kitty will hiss and bite anything that tries to get close. Want to test your luck?]

((If you want in and you don't live there then please make sure it's cool with Roxas' player before hopping in. Thank you <3))
