Heartless Hunting 10a (Axel & Hiro)

[Axel]

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: *knocks on Axel's door*

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: What?! *push-ups*

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: I have to talk to you about Traverse Town..

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: *under his breath* ..again? *and to teh door* Didn't we already do this..?

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: This is a totally different conversation. About a woman named Dahlia; who used to be Ansem's apprentice?

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: *pause, he sat up indian style on the carpet* ..shit man. You met that crazy chick.. come in..

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: *closing the door behind him, he glanced at the Assassin guards briefly and leaned against his door* Do you know who she is and what her research is or was..? *sounded less like a question of what as aimed for Axel in particular*

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: *turns his head a bit, eyeing him up and down and rubbing his chin.. before he shrugged* Yeah, I know. She explains it best, but basically; she studies the immediate relationship between Nobodies, Heartless and their previous selves, the Somebodies. She was with Ansem before Roxas and Sora were merged. In other words: she was present for and witnessed nearly the entire process of putting them back together. She's been working on a way to find and capture the heartless, or at least match their threads so they can be found and captured for their opposites. I don't know why, but it's the kind of thing I've been looking for. *there was that paranoia, and a touch of defense* You hurt her you throw away a valuable lot of information. So, did you meet her?

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: Her moogle. *raised a brow, he hadn't expected it to be that easy... but he didn't think he was lying* Why tell me all this, even with your current standing.

[Axel]

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: *brought his hands up over his head* Because, if you met her or Kupot, it's because she wanted you to: in which case you'd find out anyway. It means she's looking for more Nobodies.

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: For what?

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: I didn't let her finish prodding me last time. She's got lots of experience there with the heartless: not so much with us Nobodies. She's only recently gotten a Gummi based on what money I gave her..

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: ....why did you give her money?

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: She helped me figure out a few things while I was here, specifically centering my element before I touched my proof. When she told me why she was at a standstill, I decided to help her out. You know I don't like unpaid debts.. Anything else?

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: She knows you? Then do me a favor, that might benefit you too, and Saix. She's come close enough to put signs up. Go and make sure she has what she needs?

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: *slowly brought his arms down again, another suspicious look* ..why further her research?

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: Why not? If it's genuine, it would be much better than waiting two million years for Lexaeus and Zexion to breed their pets to produce at 1/2 the speed still; or continuing at our current pace. You can also take care of gathering while there. *a slight grunt as he drew away from the door* Unless your leg still needs healing?

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: *standing, and gathering his things* Nah. I'll take someone I trust though. I don't like running through there alone any more. If you've been there.. you might have picked up a dew ideas why.. Traverse Town, is getting dangerous.

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: *already headed out* I noticed. If you've seen more than I have, I recommend putting up a bulletin. Saix has been dropping in for a few minutes just to read it and the progress of the missions at hand...

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: For that.. will do. *following after him with his bag over his shoulder, parting ways with him at the corner* See you later man.

<BlindTaleTeller> Xaldin: Definitely.. and be prepared to make a report..

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: yeahyeahyeah...*finally comes to and knocks on Sephiroth's--Xemnas' door, knowing the First Bastard was in his office and glad for it* ..Yo!

<BlindTaleTeller> Hiro: *looked up before he moved to open the door* ..I assume this means you've read the latest update?

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: And been grilled by Xaldin, however briefly, yes.

[Axel]

<BlindTaleTeller> Hiro: I'm surprised she showed again.. *reaching for his blade he fastened it to his side and opened a portal* I'm assuming you want to go talk to her.

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: Of course. Xal also gave me a mission of sorts, and.. he made a good point in that if I'm well now since getting my leg skewered by that spider I should be hunting.

<BlindTaleTeller> Hiro: *grunted and moved through ahead* As I understand it, there should be more nobodies all around who should be hunting..

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: *glancing around to get his bearings, he shrugged* Their call. It's a whole lot of useless though, trying to yell at the lazy. Better to spend your energy out here..

<BlindTaleTeller> Hiro: *smirking, he shook his head and looked across second district from teh first district door he had formed the portal at, to the bell tower with a humph*

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: *steppping up to take care of the puny heartless in a big group, he looked back and scratched his brow* ..man .. that still bothering you? *waving his hands in front of himself a moment* Lets not get in that guy's way today, huh? I really just don't want to ruin this hunt with your incessant ex fixation..

<BlindTaleTeller> Hiro: *eyes narrow at Axel and he readies his blade*

<firstsilentGOD> Axel: .....ohshit man, I didn't mean it in a bad way! *holds his hands out* Seriously! We have something to do!

<BlindTaleTeller> Hiro: *slashing over his head, he knocks back the rhapsody* Finish them. And. *walking past as the rghapsody recovered* He wasn't my ex, just.. something that happened.
