KK: Technically, it's just easier for him to use Chess Pieces as the concept. But all he really needs to do is find something, and either touch it, or give it something so it becomes something specific. If Korox wasn't such a card and a gentleman he could be able to pull pranks by making something look as if it was a tsukumogami (More or less a century-old item come to life, a persona of the item's sentiments towards when it was inadament object).
Oddly enough being close to darkness seems to affect the senses, but not making any of them weaker.
Zexion: Vistitors, one of their scent's was Maleficent's.
If you'd let me finish, it was not of Maleficent, but to very convincing double. But I can say no more than that because the double is no more. Our other visitor made sure of that. I do not know whose it is, but the scent was very similar to the scent of the superior.
I have identified the scent, it is ... Riku
How is you found me, when you were there in the light?
Riku: You reak of darkness. Not even the light can block the smell.
I smell you, Ansem!
DiZ: The Organization will pursue you ... Like a pack of hunting dogs. They will sneak up on you if they sense your pressence (Through smell I am led to believe), however this cloak that is worn by nobodies will render their eyes and nose useless. Thee ears, not so
But making at least one stronger, that is how ;D
Xemnas, was person whose always longing for purpose. Xigbar was a one-eyed, wise-cracking, manipulative hunter. Xaldin, was a remorseless sociopath. Vexen, was a stereotypical scientist. Lexaeus, was literally the strong silent type. Zexion, was also manipulative, but at least he had times of positivity. Saix, a heartless troll. Axel, wise-cracking assassin. Demyx, wise-cracking, lazy, and unmotivated sitarist. Luxord, was also manipulative. Marluxia, manipulative (Noticing a few patterns yet?). Larxene, a manipulative, stuck-up bitch. Roxas, at first quiet and curious, and then very tempermental while keeping that curiousity. Xion, inquisitive, caring, and considerate (Reasons why I like her).
... ... ...
HellDragon: (About Organization XIII) Yeah they're pretty bland
In how they're so similar, yes V_V
This one (Answer to question) dates back to how old Xemnas is and how Terra looks 20. Xemnas is supposed to be around 30 (Or so Numora says) and Terra is 20, 10 years before KH2. Also how Roxas (Who was born from body of age 14 year-old Sora), is 15 at KH2 after a year of being born. The reason seems to be; hearts make the body age. Nobodies don't have hearts so their bodies don't seem to age (I estimate it was 4 or so years before the Apprentices rebelled after the events of BBS, or so in the time period of RG).
Ikircx or rather, Ikir, or Ikirc (Ee-Keer-Ick) < Is supposed to be said as one syllable (As are most of the names) is someone she's yet to meet (Until that point), he kinda likes Barxy, but I didn't know how to address it, so the line got scraped. I haven't too many big plans for him at said stage, but who knows what I'll do ^_^
Max: Xemnas (As he goes by) and Axel are re-made nobodies, they were both part of Org XIII, but this Xemnas revised the Organization and Axel joined up with it at some point. He's No. 6 in this organization. Animation is indeed a very fascinating ability, though I might not make most characters always uphold personalities to match their attribute, they do have their moments. So, Korox is very full of life to fit his attribute.
Chapter 11 - Privileges and Punishments
"Uh, could you move?" said Axel who had just walked in from the hallway, he seemed to be somewhat upset. We let him through and then began to walk down the hallway, when we were out of their view Korox stopped. He turned around, his right index to his mouth, and then pointing their way. Did he want me to eavesdrop? I guess when your hearing is heightened it's hard not to, but I didn't know why he wanted me overhear the conversation, maybe he's not as innocent as I thought?

"Ah. Flurry of Dancing Flames, what I can I do for you?"
"Cut the crap, Nab. I've been trying to get some shut-eye, but all of this noise is keeping me up"
Nab rose an eye brow, "Noise?"
"Braxy, Ikirc, Exol, you, Xiays, Korox, and that new one"
"... ... ... Ah ... Yes ... You're a case of a double-dose like the Superior. Well, I'm awfully sorry that we've been cutting your beauty sleep short ... But you do have some sort of mission to be on, don't you?"
"I couldn't find Roxas anywhere, it was like that way FOR A MONTH!"
"Yes, and you were compensated for that, however it's been long enough. So here's the reality of things, you need to get back out there looking for him, starting tomorrow. I find it quite a shame and hard to believe that someone who was such a seasoned assassin could become a slob in a month's time"
"What?! Do you even know about what the organization did to my li-?"
"I'm more than aware about your upbringings with the original organization, need I remind you I was on-board before your return. That means I recall the contract you signed. So as much as your past with the organization is a dark one, your hands remain tied. And if what you were planning had anything to do with hiding Roxas' whereabouts from us, then in that case other members may have to put their foot in the door. Personal as this may be or not. The Superior has given me orders, which gives you a decision. You are banned from participating or spectating at the tournament, and during the month of it's occurrence you will either spend it while A) Looking for Roxas, which we have intel of his whereabouts or B) Suffering 4th degree punishment 2 time a day for all of that month"
"Mind telling me what 4th degree punishment is, again?"
"5 hours in the Fear Simulator"
"Like I was saying, I'll be getting some rest for my mission to go find Roxas tomorrow"
"Good to know"
Fear Simulator? Korox then began to walk down the hallway, not even really waiting for me to catch-up. "Korox, what is the Fear Simulator?"
"Walk and talk, Xiays"
"Okay, but please call me, Xia" I said walking with him, Korox now seemed to slow down.
"So what is the Fear Simulator?"
"A little torture device constructed by Vexen and Zexion when Organization XIII was still around. The name says it all, it is designed to scan a person's memory, find which that person fears most, and make it much more terrifying and somethat less realistic"
"Can nobodies feel fear?"
"We can, seeing as emotions are found within the brain, which a nobody possesses. The emptiness from not having a heart just makes one feel as if emotions are not within our grasp. Hearts, I suppose build up confidence, which tend to produce positive emotions, while the empty feeling only allows us to produce negative ones, mostly. Which is why our emotions tend to come out less fluently, that and the empiness allows us to block out emotions to a degree, even if we don't realize it"
"Alright, so what happens if a person who conquers their fear?"
"There is a fail-safe, where if this occurs it will scan the memory again for the most rational thing for that person to be afraid of. Although this organization didn't build it a new fuction is in the works, making and rearranging memories. Namine, a nobody who could interfere with specific memories had been studied, and that research is basically being poured into the project"
"That's evil and inhumane"
"Well nobodies aren't human, not anymore, so it can't be consider inhuma-" I looked at him, "Right. I do consider it evil though. The degrees of punishment go as following; 8th Probation or the taking away of privileges, 7th: A day in a Zero-Darkness Containment cell, 6th: An undetermined amount of time in a Zero-Darkness Containment cell, 5th: 1 hour in the Fear Simulator, 4th: 5 hours in the Fear Simulatar, 3rd: Abuse, 2nd: Transformation into a dusk for all eternity, and 1st: Eradication"
"So why-?"
"Did I make you learn all of this? Have you ever heard of Knowledge is Power? There's more than just a few grains of truth to it, how can you possibly prevent which you knew nothing about? Being safe than sorry is something you should make a habit of"
"Everyone here has been so nice to me, why?"
[video=youtube;MmP25Er-EQI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmP25Er-EQI&feature=channel_video_title[/video]
"Perhaps it's that heart of your's, perhaps it's you as person, or maybe it's neither, the reason is a positive one no matter what. Being able to gain respect from the superior-complexed Nal and get the warm shoulder from the Key to Hell,instead of the cold are tasks that could make many bare envy towards you. But, not in a bad way, but in an admirable one"
"So what about you, Korox?"
"Oh, I suppose ... ... It's because you seem to be both lively and inquisitive, a combination that makes me much more ... Comfortable with you ... That and I'm usually seen with a silly grin on my face by everyone, so it's not really difficult for me to cope with anyone"
I laughed, "You kinda took some of the kick from the compliment just now, Korox"
"What can I say, my mouth does not bear a zipper" We walked down the halls for quite some time, until we finally arrived to some see-through doors, he opened the right, and gestured his hands while holding it open. The gesture was kind, but somehow I didn't like being pampered and decided to let him go first. The room was huge, it's had a actual skylights (Meaning it had glass and weren't just holes in the roof of the place). There were shops, kiosks, and food courts; it was like a mall (Not saying I've been to one) built into the castle (More than likely it was).
My mouth gaped, "Renovations, over the years. Quite a lot of the castle was never used, and so they found use for it" Your thoughts, Xia?"
"It's so ... Big ... How did they do this? Do we even have enough members?"
"No, we have something cuter, come" he said walking ahead, we came by the stands and saw the same thing in different outfits, it was small, furry, had bat wings, bulbous noses, and pom-poms on the end of an antenna. "They're called moogles, they're more or less bat-mole or mole-bat hybrids"
"I'll admit I'm not that interested in them, but they are cute. So why are they-?"
"Here? Well, the organization has been trying to make peace treaties with different worlds which in a way helps not just us but others. We established a peace treaty, and then these silly little buggers decided to expand their horizons here"
"Please ... Stop finishing my sentences ... I find it really irritating"
"So sorry, I'll try to stop"
We walked over to a very weird shop, there was a moogle with choclate-brown short-banged hair dressed in a blue sweater, clear specs, and a name tag reading; Roxann behind a counter. "Welcome to the OoN Credit Store, how may I help you, kupo?"
As if the features and outfit wasn't cute enough her voice was giving me the urge to hug and squeeze her. "Ah yes, we would like to set-up a credit card account for her"
"Ah. And you are who in regards to her?" Must ... Ressist ... Urges.
"I am Korox, the Chess King, No. 9, and I have on authority of Nabtuckx, No. 3 to set-up a credit account, for dear No. 25 here"
She gave him an acquisitive before going to the file cabinet and pulling out three files, which I assume were the files on me, Korox, and Nab. After looking through it she put two of the files back, grabbed a piece of paper placing it in the folder, and placed it on the counter passing it forward, "Fill-out the following and when you're done hand it back ... I still find this protocol odd"
[video=youtube;ukNqIPu1nrU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukNqIPu1nrU&feature=channel_video_title[/video]
As did I, the file containing the knowledge of what the Organization knew about me was in my very hands ... Though they more than likely had duplicates made, so it's not like there was only one in existence. But this was my info, so I thought why not read it, I sat down, and looked through it. The File name was marked; No. 25. (XXV) Name: Xiays True Name: Yasi Blood type: AB World of Birth: Destiny Islands Time of Birth: Unknown Special Extentions: Possesses a Heart Physical Age: 7 Actual Age: Unknown Ht. 47 inches. Weight: 50.6 Attribute: Air Title: Key to the Winds of Hope Family Among the Members of the OoN: Reoxa Weapon: Wayward Wi- ... I looked back at the Family Among the Members of the OoN, Reoxa was related to me? How? I then began to take the X out and reanagram the letters, "Eora ... Orea ... Aero ... ... ... Reoxa ... Is ... My BROTHER?!"
"What was that, Xia?" Korox asked, clearly hadn't heard me.
"Oh, nothing" I lied. I filled-out the application and handed it back to Roxann, "We should have your account open by tomorrow, kupo. Please stop by then"
"Once you have your Credit Card your progress on missions will be added as points, which you can use to purchase things here. So I'm willing to buy something, my treat if you're hungry" the gurgle from my stomach was right on cue.
"Um, well alright" we had chinese food; white rice, beef n' broccoli, crab rangoons, vegetable egg rolls, and a few fortune cookies. "So what does your fortune say?" I asked having eaten my share of the food and broken my cookie open.
"Share your joys and sorrows with your family"
"Huh, mine says, Better to face danger than be always in fear"
"Interesting. Say Xia, do you ever take these little notes seriously?"
"This is my first time reading one so I don't know, are your parents still around?"
"One needs not be related to another to be considered family, all they need do is spend time together and get along every now and again. Friends can be considered one's family"
"So do you have any joys or sorrows you want to share?"
"None for now"
"Better to face danger ... Than be always in fear" Was it mere coincidence? I had just learned Reoxa, the man with such a cold attitude could be my brother, and now this fortune finds itself to me?
Stop the music (If you want
WN: For all those who wonder, Axel's fear by my stories are; Dalmations (Yes, I'm insinuating Axel's the cause for the side-quest of KH1). This is to complement this from one of my stories:
"I've placed the barricade, how was my heartless?" I asked not planning on removing my hood.
Xigbar gave a sly smile, "Piece a cake, without Riku he went down with one shot" he aimed his right index finger at the wall, flinched it, and blew on it.
Axel seemed upset if that was even possible, "HELL NO, HE WAS THE DEVIL HIMSELF YOU SENILE OLD MAN!!!" he yelled his fists seeming like they would rip the knuckles of his gloves.
"Come again?" I asked confused.
"IT WAS A LIVING HELL, SURE HE DIDN'T PUT UP A FIGHT, BUT HIS DAMN BODY GUARD ATTACKED ME LIKE A DALMATION!!! EVER BEEN JUMPED BY ONE OF THOSE?!!! TRUST ME IT ISN'T PRETTY!!! ONE-EYED WALLY HERE HAD ME STALL THE BASTARD!!!" Axel was the darkest shade of red imaginable
Next time, Mivii confronts Reoxa about his place within her life ... And many more ;D
