Like a thief in the night [Active]

Character(s): Terra, Xemnas
Content: Terra just wanted to gather her thought. Xemnas just wanted to gather her :|
Setting: Cafe Ersesat [H4] to ???
Time: Week 15, Early evening
Warnings: Experiments. Likely esperized Terra later :O



Dressed in a white lab coat, the Superior has kept casual - as inconspicuous as he can be. He's even gone as far to purchase a cup of coffee, though if anyone were to pay close attention to him, he has barely sipped at it. That is as far as 'blending in' as Xemnas has gone. Every so often his eyes have shifted to watching a young woman - his target, his next specimen.

She would be leaving soon enough, he assumed, and then he could cast aside this small charade and be on his way with her at hand.

Everything as of late had been disconcerting enough.

This needed to change.

The tea that she had her hands wrapped around hand't been touched very much, either. It was tepid now, and not really satisfying anymore. Terra was unsure how long she had been just sitting in the café now, mulling over all of the things that didn't make sense. It seemed like there was no other choice but to go to the islands, if there was ever any hope of going home...

She had heard, from the others in their time, that Kefka had been beaten, somehow. Which meant... that there was still a lot to do back in her world.

Rising from her seat, she left her mostly-full cup on the table, and started for the exit. She was much too pre-occupied to even take much notice to the man in the lab coat, as she walked right out the door.

He was out of his seat mere seconds after the young woman made her exit, leaving the cup of coffee at the table, completely forgotten. He checked the outside of the café for anyone who may interfere, and then Xemnas was swift to catch up with the girl, placing a hand on her shoulder and a look of false concern across his face.

"Excuse me, Miss, but I do believe you forgot something inside." Although Xemnas had nothing of the sort. He only needed her stationary and distracted for a short moment for him to move out with her.

After they are out of the streets, then she can make all the fuss she wants. A smoother extraction than the one with Lenne was necessary.

She felt the presence of someone gaining on her, but didn't think too much of it. You don't live through years of conditioning and training with the empire and not pick up on these sorts of things, after all. She was only caught off-guard as she felt that hand on her shoulder. Instinctively, one hand reached for her rapier fastened at her side, but as she turned around and heard his words -- Terra immediately softened.

"Oh... did I?" She had been so lost in thought, it didn't entirely surprise her that she had forgotten something. "I'm sorry, I guess... my mind is elsewhere today."

[paixaonpcsorg.livejournal.com]

How swift she is to fall into a trap. Her mind really must be elsewhere if a Nobody could fool her so easily. But then, Xemnas had little care for whatever it is that may be on her mind. He would find out later, perhaps, if it would benefit him in any way.

He smiles at her, but there is nothing calming about it. In mere seconds he sweeps his free hand to the side and summons a portal, his other hand tightening its hold on her shoulder.

He pulls and pushes her towards the darkness.

She seemed to be learning quickly that not everyone could so easily be trusted. It was true, meeting and traveling with the Returners had taught her that there were people out there with kindness in their hearts, but... such opinions should be measured with caution. And now, her lack of judgement was certainly taking its toll.

"L-Let me go!" she cried, trying desperately to struggle free from his seemingly iron-like grip. Instinctively, she reached for her the rapier at her side, hoping that the stranger wouldn't notice her movement towards it.

((Mrph... sorry on the belatedness. ...and the short tag o.o;))

He did in fact catch her movement, but he also had little care for it, and simply casts her attempts at defense aside as foolish. She cannot escape him. He continues to drag her along, and then makes an attempt to throw her across the remaining space into the portal...

im the worst of all time

She was too late -- the palm of her hand only had the chance to graze her weapon before she felt it. The overwhelming darkness that surrounded her. As her heart pounded, she cursed herself for having been so careless. She never should have let her guard down, since the moment she'd arrived! How foolish she'd been...

"Stop it!" she screamed from the bottom of her lungs, as she was cast into the shadows, an overwhelming sense of fear making itself known as the world around her faded.

DON'T WORRY JUST GLAD YOU'RE STILL AROUND <3

The Superior follows her through after, the portal leading to a white room with no doors.... with no... anything. An antechamber, as it were. He stares her down, now having little worries of disabling her. He brings up a hand and nothingness energy cuts out like thorns that wrap around her, continuing to sap her strength.

"If you wish to remain unharmed, then you will not fight me. I assure you, I will return you to the city shortly, if you cooperate."

'COURSE I AM. PAIXAO IS A DRUG.

[esperize.livejournal.com]

Bound by the thorns that seemingly came from no where, Terra could only try to fight against them, trying to free herself. Although the situation that she had now found herself in was relatively frightening, the sensation she was feeling inside of her was even more alarming.

Was it... her Esper?

"What do you mean cooperate?" she spat, struggling all the while.

((...so I was thinking of changing the time Terra got kidnapped from week 15 to week 17 so that... she hasn't been missing awhile and then you wouldn't have to backdate crap? Either way if you'd like you can move on as though Terra was released, 'cause after she gets injected he's basically just gonna drop teleport to a gate and leave her there lolol))

"It is simple," he tells her, arm still outstretched, "all I need from you is a brief amount of time." He tilts his head to the side. "But it is no concern of mine if I must do my work with you unconscious, if that is the way of things."

He closes his fist and the thorns of energy tighten around her. "Make a decision, so that I may make haste."

why notifs?? WHY?? WRYYYYYYYYY??????

She continued to struggle, trying to pull her restraints apart somehow, but the rising fear within her was starting to get the best of her. When she underwent training with the slave crown controlling her -- she didn't have any of these emotions, these feelings to hold her back. But now... it was an entirely different game.

"N-No!" Terra cried, her feeble attempts lacking their original fire now as uncertainty engulfed her. "No! Let me go!"

ooc ; this is cool with me! i would atcually help out my horrid self a lot as my failure is obvious! you can just dump her off now if'n you like!

[paixaonpcsorg.livejournal.com]

((One day I'm not going to be a terrible person o__o We're terrible together, oi I can change dates again if it helps IDK ;; He'll prob dump her off in his next, which I really do promise won't be epically spaced))

"Fine," he remarks coldly, slamming an arm across her face to catch her off guard, then catching her hair with the same hand. Being this close now, he has no qualms with forming a portal and relocating once more to the labs, the thorns continuing to tighten around her.

Here, he can pick up the prepared syringe while still keeping a firm hold on her, and then he injects the Light substance.

The blow caught her off guard. The impending fear that had been rising in her chest was beginning to take over. As her bonds continued to wrap tighter and tighter, it was all she could do to struggle against them, trying to keep ahold of her consciousness. This time, there wouldn't be anyone coming to help her...

As the needle met her skin, Terra froze. She had no idea what was being injected into her system, which only set the emotions inside of her on a torrential run through her system. Her heart was beating wildly, as her scream surrounded the air between them.

She puts up more of a fight after the fact than he would expect, and he takes a mental note of this as he releases her. Something about this specimen is different than others they have encountered, and he will have to watch her more from afar. Whatever is happening within her, he cannot see yet, but that does not mean that he will not be able to in the near future.

"I am done with you now," he tells her, raising and arm to summon a portal leading back into the city of Paixao. He may find her again at a later point, but for now, he allows her an escape from the act he has committed.
