Home on the [Shooting] Range (III, II, Yazoo)

[Xemnas]

<BloodRose1313> Yazoo: Putting his guns together in the kitchen

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: *looking for that leftover roast he'd made; glances over the top of the fridge* ..cleaning them?

<BloodRose1313> Yazoo: No, just finished cleaning them, putting them back together after a long needed cleaning....would you happen to be Xaldin?

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: Ahh. *tugging out the bowl when he found it he set it in the middle of a plate with a few teaspoons of water and vegetables, covered it with plastic wrap tightly and poked a few holes in the top* Yes, that would be me: Xaldin, number Three, the Whirlwind Lancer..

<BloodRose1313> Yazoo: I cant recall, but I believe I was told you were the one to ask about a shooting range.....I could be mistaken ofcourse...

[Xemnas]

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin: .... *pauses, sticking the dish in the microwave* Well... I would know where it is.. I only use it for target practice when Xigbar's on the other end collecting his cards though. *joking, but it was a thought for later.. just to mess with II a bit* Why do you ask?

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: I've been looking for a place to fire. I haven't been brave enough to venture into the city alone. I'm not sure I could hold my own against some of the things out there

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin: The heartless? *a slight thought* Well... I suppose the ones around here are a little tougher than most other places..

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: Yeah...since I havn't seen Kadaj and he's one of the ones I would go into the city with, besides that I'm a little rusty.

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin: Well *starting up the miocrowave he smirked a bit* let me finish heating this to eat and I'll show you where it is. You're Yazoo, right?

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: Yes... and thank you

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin: You're welcome.. *made himself a fast drink while he waited, and grabbed it out once ready, along with a fork* Who knows, maybe Xigbar will be down there..

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: I...I feel very stupid right now, I don't know who that is.

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin: Ah.. *a smile* Xigbar is number Two here. He's also a sniper. His title is the Free Shooter. You can't miss him when you meet him. *a soft chuckle and he nodded towards the door, on his way himself*

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: Are we heading up ?

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin: Down a level actually... *through the commons and out it's door, he paused there* Coming?

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: Yes *picks up his guns and followes Xaldin*

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin: *leading him out to one of the walkways and down a few ramps he smiled back to him along the way: eating a bit as he did* Maybe when you've had your fill of the shooting range; you can accompany one of us on a mission to practice with moving targets? *inside, he turned to his right, and opened the door to the firing range, uncertain if the sniper was in at the moment*

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: Perhaps. It has been quite some time though, this could take a while.

<anime-oujo>Xigbar: *is already on the range, his two guns locked together, the eyepatch wearing man keeling to practice his finer rifle aiming...though its not really like he needs the practice*

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: *watches curiously *

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin: *chuckled a bit, and swallowed his next bite as he stepped in* Well, even if you just hit the target area at first you'd probably be worth something as backup. *looking around a bit* You could always request an easy world to start off getting used to it. We're in the process of cracking down on a particular mission set that's right up your alley in that regard. *and obviously* This is it.. and the skunk-headed Bright Eye at the end that would be our Free Shooter, Xigbar.

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: Laughs a little* I jsut need some practice, I Used to be quite the shot, best out of my brothers....

<anime-oujo>Xigbar: *doesn't even look away, shooting one arrow after the other* I heard that, Mutton-chops.

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin: Really? I'm not a bad shot myself with a lance, but Xigbar here really has the title in the house. *sits down in one of the chairs at the back wall to watch while he eats* ...and; I found that headband. Don't tempt me to make you try it on Daphne. *smirks, taking his next bite*

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: Should I wait for you to finish or may I take a target?

<anime-oujo>Xigbar: You only get to do that if you wear the orange ascot I found for you, Fred. *visible smirk of his own, finishing off the complete round, pulling back to focus his energies into the weapon's reload time, all of his shots save for one were bulls-eyes, the one that missed was only a half inch off*

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: *sighs and walks to a position infront of a target *

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin: *looked between the two of them, shaking his head at Xigbar and waving his fork at him and the younger, that 'hey pay attention' grunt* ..sure Yazoo, go ahead

<anime-oujo>Xigbar: Sorry kid. Fred over there is an infinite distraction. You can go ahead. *motions toward the targets*

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: *takes five shots and hits the centre spot three times and the second furthest ring from insideon the other two*

<anime-oujo>Xigbar: Heeey not bad, not bad~ *grins*

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: I'm less rusty than I thought I was *takes aim again and fires four out of five this time hit the center*

<anime-oujo>Xigbar: *chuckles* Man, you're givin me a run for my money. *finally gets a good look at him* You're one of the General's brothers, right? I don't think we've been formally introduced. *stands up finally from his crouch, approaching Yazoo and holding out his free hand to him for a shake* Name's Xigbar, 2nd Banana of the Organization.

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin: *smiles* Not bad at all. You may be ready for moving targets a lot sooner than I thought. *nodding at Xigbar he said for his benefit* I was just saying if he wanted to get more practice he could tag along with one of us on a mission as back up..

[Xemnas]

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo: *to Xigbar* yes, I'm Yazoo. And I would like to help...If I can

<anime-oujo>Xigbar: Nice to meet ya, kid. It'll be great to have the extra hands.

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin: *decided to use this introductory phase as his opportunity to eat his supper, kicking his feet up on their heels in front of him as he listened to the two*

<BloodRose1313>"What kind of gun do you use?" he asked looking at him curriously. His cat ears twitched lightly and his tail flicked out behind his knees.

<anime-oujo>"They're called gun arrow blasters, they're unique to me as far as I know." Grinning he unclicked one from the other, holding them out for Yazoo to see. "They came with me as a
package deal kind of."

<BlindTaleTeller>Yeah Xaldin was still eating, though he smirked just then, that last comment from Xifgbar in particular.. If the Free Shooter knew anything of his expressions he'd know he'd have heard an addition to it. As his luck would have it though Xaldin's mouth was busy at the moment.

<BloodRose1313>"They are very interesting." He said " I haven't been off world ...at all" he admitted a little shyly. He was embarrassed that he'd been there so long and never been off world, that he didn't even know all of their names

<anime-oujo>"Ah? Why's that? The castle that entertaining?" Clicking his guns back together he rubbed a hand against the back of his neck. "Or can't you get off this rock like we can?"

<BloodRose1313>"I'm not sure, if I can or not. I've never tried." he admitted " I um...got bored and Painted the wall on the fifth floor, the one facing south."

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin swallowed at that, hard and quick. " Probably can't.. Saix had said at least Kadaj doen't know how he got here. " a slight shrug. " They're not nobodies.... so no portals I imagine. " and a thought. " Hm, maybe we should take him to Traverse sometime. They still sell Gummis and their parts there.. "

<anime-oujo>"Oh so you're the artist type? I hear the keybrat is into that sort of thing too. Do you two hang around?" He turned back to the targets, lining up his shot again. "Is that so? I would've thought they got here just like the General did." Chuckling a bit he started shooting again. "Don't they sell complete ships?"

<BloodRose1313>"Yes...I'm rather artistic...I talk to Namine some times. " he smiled His ears perking up a little "She's a very nice person. Sweet, like a little sister."

<BlindTaleTeller>" Sephiroth isn't exactly normal to start with Xig.. he's probably evebn more 'technically dead' than the rest of us. Three times over in fact.. as I understand it. " A slight smile though and he nodded to Yazoo, finsihing off his plate before he spoke again. " Sora paints as well, though: we haven't seen him for a good while. " Note he didn't add 'I hope nothing's happened to him'. Though the thought was there after he thought of Saix. " And yes Xig, they do for the most part, if you have something to trade. Cid doesn't live there any more, so it's just what the moogle and Gepetto stock. And Gepetto only trades. No 'sales'. "

<anime-oujo>"...where's the guy from, the dark ages? I haven't traded anything since my school days, and I think that was a sandwich for a thing of chocolate pudding." Squeezing the trigger rapidly for the second round, all of his shots making it to the bulls-eye this time. "...does that mean Xemnas is banging a zombie?"

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo laughed out loud for a second before stifling his laughter and sliding his gun back into holster at his thigh. "That....Oh gods that is a funny thought..."

<BlindTaleTeller>" Engaged to a zombie Xig.. they're engaged now.. " which, had made him smile as well, setting his empty plate aside. " But I don't know.. Hades let him loose, you would have to ask him. Who knows what he'd ask for an answer though. According to Saix he's been trying to catch him permanently for years. "

<anime-oujo>"Hope his dick doesn't fall off, that could put a damper on any engagement." Standing back up he worked toward reloading again, grinning at them both. "Oh hey, did you ask Seven why he laughs when moogles are around?"

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo looked between them, they seemed good friends. "Who...um...who is Seven?" he asked. His green eyes began glowing a little, ever so slightly iridecent against the shadows that he had retreated to slightly.

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin was easy to answer Yazoo first. " Seven isn't able to be at home right now, so unless you travel off world to Gaia and know where to look; you probably won't meet him until our moon is fixed. His name is Saix, his title is the Luna Diviner. Our moon -- Kingdom Hearts - directly affects his ability. As we nobodies return the hearts of the heartless back to Kingdom Hearts; the closer he'll come to being brought home. He's been gone about a half year now: though he has visited a few times. " Standing again he stretched, first to one side and then the other. " And yes, I did.. " he grinned. " ..and have been sworn to secrecy.. though he and I have made some plans as to what to get Sephiroth for his bachelor's party as a result. "

<anime-oujo>Xigbar instantly whined at that answer. "Duuuuude! Come on you GOTTA tell me what it was about!!" He almost sounded like a teenager, whining like that. "Now I know its gotta be hilarious that its a secret!"

<BloodRose1313>"When exactly is the party....when's the weding for that matter." he asked smiling alittle at Xigbar.

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin looked to Xigbar with that question. " I don't think they've set a date yet Yazoo.. have they Xig? "

<anime-oujo>Xigbar shook his head. "Not that I've heard. I think Supes is focusing on getting work done for the reconstruction, he went out just the other day with the General to RG to harvest hearts."

<BloodRose1313>"That's another confusing thing to me," he said his ears going back and hiding in his long silver hair "How...exactly does one Harvest hearts ....and what exactly is the point?" he asked. His eyes glowed a little brighter and there was a twinge of pain at the back of his skull. He shook it off and looked up for the answer

<BlindTaleTeller>" Ahhh.. " faded a bit with his nod at Xigbar's answer, hipping his hands before eh turned his attention back to Yazoo, and crossed his arms over his chest again. " Well.. we've only just begun to understand how ourselves.. or we definitely would have been doing it ourselves prior. Even now we can't do so effectively really. Only a keyblade master; like Roxas or Sora can do that. Otherwise, Kingdom Hearts has more than one purpose: and is restored by returning those hearts: like I said before. " he shook his head. " Though the first purpose isn't something we're pursuing at the moment. Right now, we're more concerned with Saix's health and bringing him home.. "

<anime-oujo>"Yeah, since his element is codependant with the thing he's been really beat, so in order to bring him back we gotta do some harvesting~ It'd be more effective if we could drag the keybrats along but we've been outta luck in that department for a while now." Resting one of his guns against his shoulder he actually tapped it a little against his head. "Every time a keybrat kills a heartless a heart pops out, but with us its hit or miss."

<BloodRose1313>"So any one can free a heart?" He asked "But...it's only key bearers that get definite results?"

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin shook his head, shifting his weight. " Not anyone. Well at least it's not known to be that way.. not yet. " he looked to Xigbar as he tacked that last sentence on; he was thinking about that shop. " That may or may not change though. We don't know yet. For now though only the keybladers and we Nobodies can return hearts to Kingdom Hearts. That's not to say we don't have allies to help us on mission anyway. " and nodding to Xigbar, he smirked a bit. " Like Daphne here mentioned; Sephiroth has been helping too; though his presence was likely back up. "

<anime-oujo>"Yeah, if you go with one of our fold and weaken the buggers that'd probably work best until all our alternatives are explored. There might be a way for other people to collect hearts for this too sooner or later, we'll just have to wait and see for the moment~" Stretching, the Second yawned a bit. "Man, it'd be great to not play Heartless-Lotto anymore."

<BloodRose1313>Yazoo thought for a moment."It's ...to make this place safer?" he asked "I'm sorry, I don't understand most of the things that happen here, I should have asked long ago what was expected of me.." He shook his head as the twinge came back in his head

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin was starting to get the sneaking suspicion that this one suffered from the same kind of problem the other one did: and if that was the case he would have to be watched more carefully. " I think we already covered that part.. " a soft chuckle to lighten the response a bit. " The main thing is that it needs to be done; and to do that -- for now, if you want to contribute you need a nobody in your presence doing the actual take downs. It's best to read the mission boards posted in the commons, kitchen, and main dormatory hall. None of those posted should be hidden from you that I know of. "

<anime-oujo>Xigbar had turned back and shot off another round, glancing back to the other two as he took a break between rounds. "Just don't go wandering off by yourself, one of our guys just got his ass handed to him by some buggers just a little while ago."

<BloodRose1313>"Thanks, both of you...its....um...its nice to talk to people." he said not having realized how alone he was until....well until Kadaj stopped being around. "You people really are very interesting..."

<BlindTaleTeller>Raising a brow at that, Xaldin let one hand wander down to his side. " I hope you're talking about Vexen, I really do. " Meaning of course he was counting on the others being in one peice; and explaining to Yazoo: " Vexen is our fourth.. our numbers are ranked by when we joined the Organization, rather than anything else. There were only six of us originally.. " a smiling smirk for his thanks though. " You should get out of that room of yours more often. Generally we're not too hard to find if you look for us. Xigbar you can hear a floor away with his big mouth.. " teasing of course. " And if I can't be found in my room, the commons or the kitchen; odds are you can find me on the roof. " Which might have seemed odd but it was the truth. " Unless I'm on a mission. Since just before Vexen was injured though I've been trying not to go alone.. "

<anime-oujo>"HEY. My mouth isn't that big. My voice just has great carrying quality~" He finished the next round, actually letting his guns disappear, apparently done for now.

<BloodRose1313>"If you have a mission coming up, I would be glad to accompany you, It would do me good to go other places I think." he said . He sighed and his eyes grew distant for a moment, he thought about some thing pullign at his mind, but he shook it off mentally

<BlindTaleTeller>Xaldin chuckled softly and shrugged, his eyes settling on Yazoo just long enough to nod, and reach to tap Xigbar's shoulder with the back of his knuckles. " If I don't get to it first, you should take him out. Just remember, plains clothes. For that.. might be a good idea to either lend him some clothes or go shopping first in Twilight or Traverse if you're going to take him someplace other than Traverse or Radiant Garden. " That said eh was headed for the door, and and made an 'ahhh!' expression, turning to face them again on his heel. " It might be a good idea to warn him about the chocobo headed blonde and associates in Radiant Garden while you're at it. We don't need their attention just yet.. "
