A Little Help From Friends

[Marluxia]

08:09:47 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *sighs in frustration, glad that Zexion changed his bandages but still irritated by the cuffs and their foot long chain connecting them* damn what the hell did they make this with?!

08:14:20 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: ....*walks by, backtrack, stare* Marluxia...why...are you in chains?
08:16:36 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *blinks, looking up, a dagger in one hand, trying to cut through the chain* ....... It's a long story..... But basically? I got betrayed and caught during a job.

08:18:14 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: ...*materializes an aerial blade, slicing right through the chain with a flick of his wrist* Who betrayed you?

08:20:14 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *stares* ...................................... *facepalm, still in the cuffs of course but, at least there's no chain* why didn't I just go to you first? Jeez. *looks back to him* The noble who hired me. I've already planned his death. He likely thinks I've been put to death already. I just don't want to ruin Saix's birthday so I'm dealing with him afterwards.

08:33:32 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: *smirks a little as he sat down beside him* I see...What were you hired to do for him?

08:40:18 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: Kill the head of one of his compettitors of course. Assassins profit off of the greed of those in power.

08:49:01 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: Ah~ of course of course. I should have known.

08:49:55 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *chuckles*

08:55:17 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: ...do you know what Saix might like for his birthday?

08:58:52 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: quite a few things. Of course there's always a good bottle of Sake... but while we were at Land of the Dragons for a date... he seemed very interested in many items there....

08:59:33 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: Hmmm...

09:06:26 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: ??

09:06:33 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: Just thinking...

09:09:35 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: About~?

09:14:04 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: Seven. *rubs a hand over his chin, then his lips idly* I do not just want to pick up some alcohol for him, Hiro and Xaldin are already doing such a thing...

09:16:42 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *tilts head* I don't know I don't think Xaldin is... he was asking about what Saix liked in Land of the dragons... Mostly it was a clothing shop where some nice things were that we both wanted.. most of it was bridal items.... and then Mineral Ores form a Jewelry shop

09:17:00 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: ......

09:17:12 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: *smiiiiiiiiirk* Bridal items hm?

09:18:41 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *slight blush* y-yeah....

09:19:20 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: So you will not need me to toss the proverbial bouquet to you at the reception?

09:20:43 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: He hasn't asked me yet. it's still up in the air really because... we don't want to yet. Not until everything is back to normal...

09:21:11 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: I see.

09:21:27 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: *chuckles*


09:30:44 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: >x>;

09:33:44 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: I just imagined you in a bride's dress... *chuckles s'more*

09:38:12 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: ...... *facepalm* What sort?

09:38:39 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: A ridiculous one with a high neck and long sleeves X3

09:40:12 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *snort* I wouldn't be caught dead in it

09:41:09 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: That was why it was humorous X3

09:41:30 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: We already decided we'd use asian style
09:43:15 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: Hmm...I wonder...should there be a theme for Hiro and I?

09:45:17 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: Up to you?

09:46:36 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: Well...I have no clue as to what sort of theme I would even want. *drums his fingers over his lips a moment* There is so much about this I have not even considered.

09:49:04 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: that's why it takes months to plan....

10:42:49 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: ... *rubs his wrists, realizing the cuffs are still there* ... *sigh*

[Marluxia]

10:54:41 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: ...hold still. *presses a finger against the metal of one, making a TEENY aerial blade and effectively cutting through it*

10:57:02 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *stares, oh so nervous because of that before sighing, the cuff falling away and revealing raw, red skin, showing that he's been struggling against the cuffs since he came home at about 5 AM* Thank you, Xemnas

11:00:27 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: It is nothing...now the other one please. *points to the other wrist* And be sure to get some salve for those friction burns...

11:01:29 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *holds out the other wrist to him* Alright.

11:18:15 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: *repeats the process, frowning a bit* So you have been struggling with these all day?

11:19:32 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *nods* Now... *reaches out his hand and manages to summon his scythe before dismissing it with a frown* ... That's peculiar... *picks up one of the cuffs, inspecting them* .... Clever....

11:19:54 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: What is?

11:22:32 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: They've got a mage imbuing these shackles and cuffs
with magic.... the kind that prevents one from summoning magic and weapons. *tracing the runes on the inside of the cuffs with his finger* That's extremely clever... This way when they catch their 'criminals'... said beings won't be able to harm the guards and won't be able to escape easily.

11:26:31 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: ...that is...quite unusual, especially in a place such as that which relies on physical weaponry...*frowns a little*

11:30:28 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *tilts head* Not neccessarily. They are the minimal factor but there are Mages there. The Current Queen of Alexandria being one herself. A White mage, of course. And the Knowledge to learn Magic is readily available in Daguerro and not so available but present in Treno and Alexandria in the forms of books.

11:55:30 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: Hmm...still, it is unusual for someone to just assume that you are one. I am sure in a place where the magic is not ultra common that those would be expensive to maintain.

11:58:13 pm <themightyalexa> Marluxia: I think these are standard. Not so much as assuming a person is or isn't. It just covers the basics.

11:58:42 pm <anime-oujo> Xemnas: Mmm....*it still doesn't sit well with him*

12:00:32 am <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *raises brows* somethign still bothering you about it?

12:01:28 am <anime-oujo> Xemnas: It just strikes me as strange is all.

12:03:52 am <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *tilts head a bit* Hm...
