Two Out of Three [Completed]

[argentum-basium.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Kadaj & Yazoo
Content: The two brothers meet in the Café Ersesat, then start the journey towards the Morem o Lisboa.
Setting: Café Ersesat, H8 on the map, then gradually towards Morem o Lisboa.
Time: Sunday2 late morning/noon-ish.
Warnings: Mischief, mayhem, setting a Shadow Creeper on a crowd, throwing people off of trains... the usual.

On his way to the café, Kadaj made a series of observations about this city. Firstly, the plants were fake. He had wondered over to one curiously after seeing it glint in an incredibly unplantlike way, only to see that it was comprised of mere cloth and gems. Definitely not the sort of thing he was used to, but at least it meant there wouldn’t be any flowers around. Next, there were no animals. No rats, stray cats, dogs, or anything like that. Instead, he caught glimpses of strange glowing creatures—just what was wrong with this place?

Lastly, of course, everyone looked the same.

The same. There was hardly any real variation as far as the citizens’ appearances went. All blond hair and blue eyes. It was irritating, really; they reminded him of his older brother, that traitor, or maybe the President… If either one of them were here as well, he wasn’t quite sure what he’d do. He still had to get revenge on Cloud, of course, punish him for turning his back on Mother and all, as well as for his interference with Sephiroth’s plans. As for the President, well, after he had toyed with him, it seemed only proper to make him see the error of his ways as well. Kadaj couldn’t wait for that.

Mother came first, though, and before he could truly make his way to her, he had to meet Yazoo.

He finally reached the café he had told him they were going to meet, hesitating briefly before venturing inside. There were already people in it, of course, more of the usual, boring citizens. His brother should be easy to spot once he arrived… unless he had beaten Kadaj there?

He looked around, trying to test his theory. At no sign of his brother’s familiar form, he smirked slightly to himself and found a place to sit down, completely ignoring the line of people leading up to the counter. It wasn’t like he actually wanted anything from here anyway, so for now, he would simply wait.

He feigned a whining tone and huffed softly, "Please, Kadaj~ I would have rather asked her help than spend an even longer time attempting to figure the journal system out. And I don't look a bit womanly, even in dimly lit areas," he stated. "Furthermore, I don't see how it's possible to overlook the fact that I am missing the single-most important physical attribute of women when it comes to defining the sexes: breasts. However, I digress...." He sighed, a bit perplexed by his sudden chatty nature. "Whatever effect this place is having on us, it's far less important than Mother, and I doubt we'll have long to deal with it anyway." There had to be a way out of here.

He made an odd face at Kadaj, a single brow arching as the shorter sibling went on about the strange creature. "Odd. I can understand the pull you felt, if its name has anything to do with it's nature, but I have no idea how it would know such information...." Perhaps they would manage to run into this person and Yazoo could see for himself just what it was that Kadaj saw. It was intriguing, to say the least, given its affect on Kadaj.

"I suppose all that matters is that it gave you information on Mother's whereabouts. I'm assuming from the information it knew that it also knew it would be a mistake to give you false information," he concluded with a smirk, tilting his head casually to the right.

"Oh, fine~ saving time is a good enough reason, I suppose." Kadaj had no problem with Yazoo's talkativeness; in fact, he was rather pleased by it. Much better than walking on his own had been. "And I don't know, Yazoo. From behind you could pass, then, at least until you spoke. Women don't have voices as deep as yours." He let that drop too, though, but his smirk remained even as he went on. "Whatever effect it is might be effecting her too, you know. I doubt it, powerful being that she is, she must be above such petty things. It's intriguing to think about, though... if a bit insulting. Mother, reduced to the same state as a human..." His expression turned solemn again, and half to himself, he added, "She's already been though so much for us. Something like that would just be adding insult to injury, I think..."

He shook himself out of whatever mood had settled over him, smirking at him again. "Yes, it knew not to give me false information. I made it very clear I wouldn't tolerate it if it did. Everyone who was at Joutenheim can agree that I'm not someone to be trifled with." Not that that had stopped Desire anyway, but Yazoo didn't need to know that. "If we run into it again, maybe we can get a few more answers out of it, what do you say to that?" Torture being the preferred method of course, but there was no need for him to say that. Smiling serenely, he went on. "That pull it has... I wonder if we could have that power ourselves? It may come in useful."
