Anyone There? ~ [ Closed/Complete ]

Character(s): Larxene, anyone who wants to join in.
Content: Larxene has to find a way to get to a hotel after Superior Smackdown. xD
Setting: On the way to the Morem o Lisboa; starting at Ecos na Catedral.
Time: Tuesday evening.
Warnings: Language? ~


Her calf stung like mad, her breastbone was saying things like "OMGDIEBITCH" to her, and she wasn't really in the mood to have a bitch-fight with her conscience. Although she would kill to teleport all the way to the hotel and get a nice soak in her tub with a nice S&M book to get all of the blood off, she would have to walk. That's all she had the strength for.

She grudgingly got up, hearing some bone snap somewhere within her as she did, before she ws fully up, dusting her robe off with what strength she could muster before she started walking to her intended destination. Vexen was at the library doing God-knows-what now, Zexion was... who cares, Axel, Saix, and Demyx she hadn't seen in forever and a half, and Marluxia had been whisked away. Her life was just effin' peachy keen, fine, and dandy.

"Ohh," she groaned when she felt her head begin to throb, clutching a lock of her hair where the pain was sourced. It would go away soon. She checked her glove, seeing blood on the black leather. Her hair was probably matted from the blood all over the back of her head. Perhaps those stupid fancy shampoos they had there were really needed now.

Lightning cracked in the sky, and she felt a drop of rain his her on the nose. Great. She would arrive at the hotel looking like a drowned rat. Perhaps she should go to that hotel that's nearby-- the Morem o Lisboa? Better than walking all the way to Actua Are.

The rest of the walk to the hotel wouldn't be very fun. ~

She has been loitering around the area for almost the whole day now, and she hasn't found one single wounded man, or woman. She had stopped awhile to check the message on the message board and saw that the man named Zexion has posted a comment, replying to hers. 'look for 3 people. two men and a woman.two are blond all have black coats one is pinned to the ground by a red blade another is very loud. you cant miss them'

It has been a whole day, though, so she must have missed them or perhaps this Zexion has played a prank on her. Which is not funny. Shoving her journal angrily into her pocket, she decides that she would rather be walking back to Morem o Lisboa to rest for the night and journey to Mr. Nobunaga the next morning. Muttering curses at this man named Zexion, she walks to the direction of the hotel.

A huge lightning cracks the sky in half and she sees a figure walking bowed in front of her. Recovering from her shock quickly, she realizes that the figure is a woman with what must be blonde hair under the browned blood on her head. Recalling Zexion's message, she realizes that the woman must be one of the people she was called to heal.

"Wait! you shouldn't be walking around with a wound like that!" Immediately she runs toward the woman, making sure not to trip on any of the stones. Luck was not on her side, however, and as her foot makes contact with a rubble, it gave way beneath her and she falls into a graceless heap before the wounded woman. "Ouch, my dignity..." she mutters under her breath.

[identity profile] ah-shay.livejournal.com 2006-02-08 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
The pain on her butt is nothing compared to the stain on her dignity. She almost forgot about the wounded woman standing in front of her, muttering curses under her breath about never running toward a person again.

"...And who might you be?" the woman asks her. Ashe quickly looks up at the expressionless woman. "I'm sorry, but you'll have to help yourself up. I'm in... a pretty horrible condition." Ashe realizes that she should be the one helping the woman not the other way around, and getting back on her foot as quick as possible, she searches her pocket for healing items.

"I am Ashe," she introduces herself while still scrambling in her pocket. "Zexion, your friend I believe, has summoned me to help you. I am not much of a healer, but I can get you in better shape than this, at the very least."

[identity profile] ah-shay.livejournal.com 2006-02-08 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Twelfth... order?" Ashe stopped arranging the healing items for a moment. "Well, yes, your friend posted a message on the message board and asked me to help you and two other men. I should have been here around morning, but I couldn't find you or the other two people. So, I'm sorry that I'm so late."

Realizing that talking will not heal Larxene, she immediately went back to looking for a particular potion Basch gave her. "Would you not rather sit down or does it hurt too much to move?"

[identity profile] ah-shay.livejournal.com 2006-02-08 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
While Larxene was explaining to her about where the other two people are, Ashe finally finds the potion she has been looking for. She was asked to help the three people, and she was planning on using healing magic on them because she only have two of these potion. There is only Larxene here, however, and she doubts that the two would return, so using the potion would be wiser because she might need to use her magic for combat later on and she has no elixir.

Back to the matter at hand, I'm alright with sitting down. Larxene says as she sits herself down. Ashe sits down beside her and puts the potion in Larxene's hand. "Here, drink it all up. It will completely restore your power. It is rather bitter but it will make relieve you of some of the pain."

The rain was getting considerably harder compared to a few minutes ago, and both of them were looking rather drenched. "Once you feel better, I'll help you walk and we should try to find a shelter. I doubt that sitting in the rain would do you any good."

[[ ooc: sorry for barging in, if you want me to delete this post that's fine. xD; ]]

Speaking of teleportation...

Vexen had no idea why he wanted to go back to where Larxene and Marluxia presumbaly were. Perhaps it was merely because they were all in the Organization, and this common bind was enough to move Vexen to return with some (extremely ineffective potions), along with the rest of his things. He actually planned on dumping them at their feet and leaving.

As he materialized not too far away, he noticed that Larxene was already being attended to by another woman (a far more kind soul than that mage was, he supposed). Well, that worked... however, someone seemed to be missing.

He supposed Marluxia had also fled for the time being. Good for him. Limping over to them (damn that mage; walking hurt), Vexen cleared his throat. This time to catch their attention; he was done with hacking up globs of blood.

"Forgive me for my intrusion, but I suppose you don't know where the others went off to?" This question was directed at Larxene more than anyone else.

[ooc: the more the merrier! :D]

Ashe smiled at the woman as she gulped the potion down quickly. It is rather bothersome to see that 500 gils worth of potion being treated like that, but she is sure Larxene will be very thankful at its immediate effect. However, sometimes things just don't go according to your expectation.

God, that was disgusting, Ashe felt the blood rise to her face, the worst curse words rushing in her throat and her mouth opening in a fit of spitting them out. It was even more frustrating to see that Larxene did not notice how angry that made Ashe feel.

The other woman extended her hand, Grab my hand. I can... teleport us to our desired destination: The Morem o Lisboa hotel nearby.

Briefly, Ashe's mind flew to the blue-haired man she saw teleporting a few days ago, could they be the same people? And she is still not clear about the 'Twelfth Order' thing anyway. Before she could utter a single word, however, a voice interrupts her.

Forgive me for my intrusion, but I suppose you don't know where the others went off to? Turning around, a man with long blonde hair is limping toward them. Perhaps he is the other man she was supposed to tend to. She was going to offer her help, but realizing that the man has his eyes on Larxene only and ignoring her, she chose to stay quiet. This man does not seem like the kind of person she would want to annoy.

Larxene explained to him where the others went to, and if it weren't for the fact that she used the word us to refer to them, Ashe would have thought that the both of them had forgotten about her. Also, if it weren't for the fact that they seem dangerous, she would have unleashed her inner brat by now.

Choosing her words carefully, she tries to make it sound as polite as possible. "Suppose it would be better to continue our conversation in a drier place? I am not exactly fond of the rain."

[ooc: question - I see you list the time for this as Tuesday evening. But wasn't the Superior smackdown on MONDAY morning? Did Larxene skip a day somewhere and I missed it?

I'm asking, because Ansem is trying to coordinate something with Ashe, and the timeline is confusing me now.]

Re: ~

[identity profile] ah-shay.livejournal.com 2006-02-10 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
[i guess i'll follow this timeline rather than the superior smackdown. so i'll be meeting Ansem wednesday morning?]

Right after she finished her carefully-worded whine, Ashe realizes just how big a mistake she has made. Larxene stared at her with expressionless eyes, seeming to bore as deep as possible into her soul, and it was scary. Holding her breath for what seemed like an eternity, she was finally free to take a very deep breath once Larxene started speaking and turning to Vexen.

It's much drier there, and we can all get a bite to eat and get ourselves cleaned up. Those fancy hotels seem to make life for those lazy-asses there as easy as it gets. We'll be fine there. Larxene said to Vexen. What is with ignoring her after being helped? What about a simple thank you?

Giving up on any form of gratitude, Ashe sighs, "So, do we walk or do we teleport?"

[identity profile] ah-shay.livejournal.com 2006-02-11 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Teleporting felt strangely peaceful. She had imagined that there would be whirlwinds around and the sensation of limbs being stretched of the sort, but really it was just like having the scene before you change into another and finding yourself in a whole other place.

...I'm going to go get a room, Larxene tells her while walking over to the concierge desk. Ashe wonders if Larxene will be paying for her hotel room or not. If she paid, then it would be more than Ashe needs as a substitute for gratitude. This hotel seems to be very expensive after all. After awhile, Larxene walks back to where she was standing carrying one key.

She hopes she had gotten her a room also because she does not think she has enough money to pay for a room in this hotel. And the rain outside does not seem to allow anyone to walk through it without getting a fever.

[identity profile] sheer-cold.livejournal.com 2006-02-11 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
(( ooc: Sorry for taking so long! x_x ))

Vexen dully noted the direction of the hotel Larxene pointed out and nodded faintly, deciding it was a place as good as any to finish up the reports and data he had to post. Ugh. Only someone like Vexen could think of such things after having the (for lack of better wording) shit beaten out of him by his boss, but he had to keep his priorities straight.

Following the two women to the hotel, Vexen materialized right at the door, not wanting to spend any more of his rapidly draining strength then he had to. Limping over to where the confused healer was, Vexen just watched Larxene get a room (for herself, presumably, unless she wanted to share with the healer).

"Do forgive her, she's always like this," Vexen noted to the healer, who's name he still didn't know. He would ask, if Larxene hadn't come back with the single key.

"I didn't get your name..." He continued. He might as well get his benefactor's name this time, she seemed much more agreeable than that mage.

[identity profile] ah-shay.livejournal.com 2006-02-13 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ashe would have stared at Larxene open-mouthedly is if were not for the fact that opening your mouth like it would be unseemly for a princess. But she has just said that the three of them are going to stay in one room. Ashe will be sleeping in one room with a man who is not her husband. That is utterly unacceptable.

She does not have the money to get another room, however, nor does she have the courage to actually annoy Larxene, so as long as she would have her own bed to sleep in, it would be fine. "We won't have to share beds, do we?"

[identity profile] sheer-cold.livejournal.com 2006-02-14 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
The woman they were with seemed somewhat... disturbed by the fact that they had to share rooms, but hey, if he had to share a room (much less a bed) with someone as vulgar as Larxene, he'd be disturbed too.

"I'm not going to be very long. I just need to get a few things taken care of," Vexen assured her with a monotone voice. Like my leg. "I don't intend to actually stay here for the night."

[identity profile] ah-shay.livejournal.com 2006-02-14 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
She did not say thank you and now she is giving her a full-blown speech just like Kadaj did. The people here are truly impolite, and she must be the worst of them. Trying her best to keep from fuming and triggering yet another dose of anger from Larxene, she kept her mouth shut.

I'm not going to be very long. I just need to get a few things taken care of, I don't intend to actually stay here for the night. the man said, and Ashe breathed out a sigh of relief. Even spending the night in one room with a man could mark a stain on her name. She is married after all.

Replying to Larxene, "Yes, I suppose we can get up now."

[identity profile] sheer-cold.livejournal.com 2006-02-15 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Vexen 'limped' along as Larxene started moving, wondering why he hadn't brought attention to his problem yet. Oh well, it wasn't like it was anything major; that mage hadn't healed it fully, but it was enough. He rolled his eyes as Larxene had the nerve to laugh at some stumbling woman nearby, mostly out of habit; Vexen didn't find much things "funny".

"Work," was all Vexen replied it. Although, after the beating he just took, Vexen was starting to feel strangely apathetic towards the one thing he used to 'enjoy' the worst. Like the Superior broke more than just his bones.

How odd. There was nothing but bones to break.

He slumped against the side of the elevator, also disgusted with the design. It was slow, and it was inefficient. If he weren't injured, he would have taken the stairs.

[identity profile] ah-shay.livejournal.com 2006-02-20 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
You two do whatever you like. There's a mini-bar thing over there if you'd like to have a snack or a... drink Larxene states, while sauntering off to the bathroom. So Ashe is left alone in a room with a man who is not her husband. Too tired to make a fuss out of it, however, she sit herself on one of the beds and lets out a yawn, covering her mouth properly with her hands.

"Sir Vexen," she starts. "If I read between the lines clearly, you want me to heal you as well?" The man seemed proper enough and she thinks that he would be more grateful than Larxene was, anyway. Her stomach growled softly, and wishing that the man had not heard it, she makes a mental note to herself to get some food after healing the man.

[identity profile] sheer-cold.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Sir Vexen? What a nice title. This woman actually had manners. Having been deprived of a female with manners for quite some time, Vexen almost looked stunned.

"You may just call me 'Vexen'," He informed her, nodding when she mentioned a healing. "Actually, yes, I was healed earlier by a mage but she saw no need to heal my leg."

Vexen limped over to the bed next to hers, dumping his items on it. There wasn't much; The bag made a clinking noise, suggesting there were some fragile things inside. He made a notion to drop his journal down with them, but shook his head; such things shouldn't be left alone. Larxene at the very least would take interest in it.

"I suppose you were summoned by Zexion?" He asked, sitting down on the bed opposite from Ashe's.

[identity profile] ah-shay.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose you were summoned by Zexion? the man who asked her to call him Vexen inquires. "Yes, I first thought that it was he who needed help but then he gave me descriptions of three people whom I suppose are you, Larxene and another blonde-haired man," she explains. "Larxene has told me that the other man was taken away already before I arrived there, so I am only supposed to find you and Larxene." it feels nice talking to another person who has manners in this world. Ashe was starting to give up hope that anyone in Paixao actually has "courtesy" in their vocabulary after meeting Kadaj and Larxene.

"Anyway, small talk will not heal your leg, S-- err Vexen." Ashe stands up from her bed and walks to where he is sitting. "Let me take a look at it."

...When you two are finished doing whatever it is you're doing, we're all going out to get some food. I think we've been deprived for a while, and I would kill someone for a drink. Larxene suddenly interrupts. Amazing how quick she took her bath; Ashe always takes at least an hour for a bath. "We will be done soon, just a moment." she says to Larxene as she concentrates her magic to her hands. "Curaga" and the internal bleeding fades into almost nothing, leaving a rather yellow mark on Vexen's skin. "It will disappear by itself, don't worry."

Standing up and she turns to Larxene, "We are done. I am very anxious about the prospect of getting food. I feel famished."

[identity profile] ah-shay.livejournal.com 2006-02-23 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...where are we going to eat? Decide quickly. Ashe does not really care where they eat at as long as the food is edible. This is another world, after all, what if they eat like really strange things? Catching Larxene's quick glance at the casino's main bar, however, Ashe thinks that because Larxene is used to this place, she should know where the good food is.

"Why don't we go to the main bar?" Ashe suggests. She hopes the bar also serves some kind of food however, she does not really want to get too drunk.

[identity profile] sheer-cold.livejournal.com 2006-02-23 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Vexen rose an eyebrow at how quick Larxene was to just order them around. Eat? He had other things to do. But as soon as his leg was healed, Larxene had whisked them out, Vexen opting to follow.

The healer had done a wonderful job, however. It didn't hurt to walk, not even the slightest pain. Vexen couldn't believe how much he missed being able to walk. Something so simple. Then again, people never appreciated what they had until they lost it.

And continue to do so, it seemed.

"You two can go eat somewhere. I already ate," Vexen dismissed Larxene's invitation, lying as usual. She probably didn't care, but Vexen did, so without so much as a word, he stalked back to the hotel room, wondering why he just didn't stay if Larxene already locked it.

Oh yes. He left his things there.

Unlocking the door swiftly, Vexen disappeared inside and the door shut with a click.

[identity profile] ah-shay.livejournal.com 2006-02-26 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Ashe was very glad she did not try to annoy Larxene about not being grateful. Still wide-eyed after seeing Larxene almost slicing the waiter to two, she drops her eye on the menu, her heart still throbbing so loud Larxene might be able to hear it.

"I...I'll just have the house special, whatever it is," Ashe has not realized how lucky she is that people speak in the same language as she does in Paixao. The food, however, is a whole different case. She is not able to find any food with Chocobo in it. She hopes that the house special is not something slimy or crawly.

"And I'll have something with chocolate for the dessert," she gives the menu back to the waiter. "And mineral water, thank you."

[identity profile] ah-shay.livejournal.com 2006-02-28 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
We should get out of this damn place tomorrow morning and go find the others to see what the hell they're up to. The curiosity is killing me. Larxene states after they have finished their dinner. Ashe cannot express just how glad she is that dinner did not taste very weird. In fact, they gave her this little chocobo to eat; it was rather delicious.

"I think we should do just that," Ashe replies, then wiping her mouth clean' properly, like she should. She follows Larxene back to their room, the wait for the elevator much more bearable now that she is not so hungry.

Once they were inside their room, Ashe realizes that tomorrow they will go their separate ways and it would be polite to at least tell Larxene of where she is planning to go. "Larxene, thank you for the room," she starts. "I guess we will be parting tomorrow. If you ever feel a need for my help, you can contact me through the message board as Zexion did, or you can find me at a shop owned by this man named Cid. The shop is near the center of town, across from Actua Are."

She walks to her bed, and discarding all sense of proper manners and grace, plops herself down onto it. "So then, good night and farewell!"

Tomorrow will be the start of an adventure for her, and she is sure that it will be interesting. She cannot wait to meet this Cid, or Roxas. She hopes that they are kinder than Kadaj. Strange as it may seem, she also wishes that she would meet Larxene and Vexen also at some other time. But that must wait, for this time, she travels alone.
