Recon Pimpin (pt1-a)

[Saix]

Continued from HERE.

[Saix]

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *grins at his back for a moment following him through near to the entrance of the Underworld, glancing briefly at the moogle as he passed it, a soft 'Kupo?' tilting it's head at them* Where to look for him though... with his penchant for head games, and loathing of Hades; he might be any number of places here.

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: Perhaps they are running a tournament if we are fortunate?

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *nods, veering more to the left, heading for the tiny pair of demons* Only one way to find out. Ask around. *and speaking with them quietly*

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *wanders over to the roster board, staring up at it*

<BlindTaleTeller> Moogle: *tugs on Xemnas' pants*

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *gives a quick glance to the Superior, before returning to the conversation*

<BlindTaleTeller> Roster Boards: *do display Sephiroth's name, all teh way at the bottom of the third board*

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *looks down* Hm?

<BlindTaleTeller> Moogle: *offers 100 munny* ~<3

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *catching that in the corner of his eye, snorts loudly*

<BlindTaleTeller> Pain: Eh? *tilts to one side to see what he's on about, scratching his head*

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: .....*stare*...what in the world is this about? *arcs an eyebrow*

[Saix]

<BlindTaleTeller> Moogle: Kupo? *offers again*

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *straightens his face, trying very hard ot to snort or burst out laughing again* Ahem. Anyway.. last? How long..?

<BlindTaleTeller> Moogle: *tilts head, aw shucks; flits back to it's shop*
<anime-oujo> Xemnas: ....*looks back to the roster, finally spotting Sephiroth's name; he turns, walking over to Saix* He's up last.

<themightyalexa> Marluxia: *slipping out into the kitchen for some tea before he goes to his garden*

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *nodded, a very small hint of a smile* Yes, Pain was just telling me that. *glances at Panic as he stopped to read the Superior's back* Should we participate, or simply attend and wait to speak to him after?

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: I have little desire to participate in something this trivial, we shall wait until afterward. *flips some hair over his shoulder, glancing at Panic* ...What in the world are you staring at, demon?

<BlindTaleTeller> Panic: *squinty-eyes mouthing the words as he reads, before looking up at Xemnas and then back to the sharpie* ...r-really? Only a hundred?

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: ....*stares at him, completely baffled* What are you talking about?

<BlindTaleTeller> Panic: *shuffles around weaving side to side, covers Panic's mouth as he says something* Oh, nothing! Nothing at all.. (Panic: *almost points at his back, though Pain grabs his claw and a litte tussel ensues*)

[Saix]

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: ....*frowns* Saix.

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: We should go.. *shakes his head at the pair, starting for the boat, a pause, and polite smile turning by half to the Superior again* ...yes, sir?

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: Ah that. *looked down briefly at the pair, who had stopped mid roll* It says : Semi-virgin, 100 munny, apply here. *and points down to indicate the arrow* I was hoping no one would notice. I didnt' want to upset you. It looks rather.. durable.

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: ........I could have covered it up. *growls, eying Saix*

<BlindTaleTeller> Pain: *cackles uncontrollably now, rolling all the way to the boat* Priceless! *hops to one oar* I like you guys.

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *a small smile twitches at the corner of his mouth, waiting for Xemnas to ask himself who had access to his bare skin to put it there* Perhaps.

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: ....Saix. After this mission is over....you are going to be heading straight back out on mission, you are aware of this, yes?

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *nodded once, and offered his hand to help him into the boat* Yes, I know. We've already discussed it.

[Saix]

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: No. I mean immediately, for a while. No seeing Eleven. *smirks a bit as he gets out of the boat*

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *doesn't miss a step, even for a moment: smirking as he moved a few steps ahead* Well I suppose that will be all right. I admit, I did regrettably have a hand in keeping Xaldin from his own interests for some time in my own way a bit too often, before you returned. *pushing past the koisk, he looked back briefly, still smirksing* I'm interested in the results of such an experiment anyway..

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *his expression goes back to its usual blankness* I see, I am glad you are so...compliant. *turns the hinting at Xaldin's interest over in his head, tucking that bit of information away for later*

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *shrugged slightly, reaching back and taking Xemnas' hand as the crowd became thicker, not needing to look to do so. So far, everything was going smoothly* As I said, it suits my needs well. I assume you will be reassigning the actual mission to someone else then?

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: Perhaps...*barely squeezes by a few of the people, hanging onto his subordinate pretty good* I wonder how long this will take.

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: Not long I imagine.. *already the first rounds were starting, as they came to the railing of the lower rung, he seemed distracted observing, mostly looking to the ring, though occassionally looking ahead, making certain Xemnas had settled beside him and wasn't pulled away with the majority of the still settling crowd* But.. the mission you have in mind? The beach perhaps? I had noted that the schedule hadn't yet been posted..

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: I suppose Marluxia might be able to handle it in your stead...I might send my own personal nobodies to watch over it at one point.

[Saix]

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *paused briefly as the next round started, fishing around in his bag for a moment* Hm. I meant more along the lines of me taking up that position, after the Radiant Garden mission. *and reaching back to crack the fool behind them who had been reaching for Xemnas' ass over the head with a thick pad of paper and warning glare that would have stopped a raging rhino dead in it's tracks, his gold eyes sticking on the other before the demon grunted and stalked off: Saix's eyes returning forward again* I would like to finish that mission in particular, with the previously agreed roster... and very possibly one more. The more I think about it: the more sense it would make to take him along.

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *eyes Saix* If that is what you wish, Saix, I suppose I can allow it.

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: There aren't many other missions at the moment, that I'm aware of anyway. *leaning his chin into his palm over the railing* Besides that.. the pull there makes it more comfortable for me than the others. *his eyes watching the fray below as the challenger went on to the next round, he smirked* Likely half in the new memory.. but Luxord at the least certainly has issues staying there for any given amount of ..well, time. Vexen has been closeted away in the lab with Lexaeus when not raiding the kitchen for every form of sweet known to creation. And if any follow ups are needed, by the nature I would guess that another of the scientists were required. Marluxia Zexion and I are the only ones experienced with the situation at the moment.. it makes sense for me to take the beach, really. *a brief pause, and he straightened again at the dark, winged figure rising in the center of the ring, a small smirk* ...and there he is.

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *almost sounds like he growls a little when Sephiroth does appear, definitely not pleased to see him again* Lovely...*suddenly stiffens up, whirling around to snarl in another man's face* Do. You. MIND?! *decks him, knocking the man out cold, gives a scathing look to anyone else who had happened to be staring at him weird before turning back around, resuming his stance leaning against the railing*

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *looked back over his shoulder as the Superior turned, and smiled, his chuckle not far off one of the demons in the crowd at the one who went down, enjoying that display: or appropriately the looks on the faces of those startled behind them before he placed a hand over the Superior's wrist* One can't blame them. Your price tag is severely marked down, for the quality of the product. I doubt they would keep their hands to themselves even without it, dressed as you are and knowing this crowd. *coming to his own full height slowly, he yawned. He did know this crowd, a little better than he cared to think on* Best to try and head down now.. *as the winged unsheathed his blade* ...this can't last long. *nodding for another set of steps and slipping his hand around Xemnas' back intending to make sure ot to lose him along the way, giving the remaining lot who might have considered trying something a colder expression*

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *feels his face slightly heated up with a phantom strike of humiliation, allowing Saix to lead him off down the stairs* Disgusting demons...

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *eyes catching on and glancing to the winged on the way down he growled in half agreement* They're not nearly as bad as their keeper.. trust in that.

<BlindTaleTeller> Hades: *a poof of smoke, and he's suddenly there; a wicked smirk on his features, waving a hand at the scarred nobody as they passed* And you, would know all about that; wouldn't you Sai?

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *frowns, eying Hades* So you must be Hades?

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *ignores the god, guessing he has no clue yet as to who they are otherwise, and playig it as though he likewise has no idea what the fire-headed one is talking about*

<BlindTaleTeller> Hades: *eyes narrow at Saix* Hmmmm.. *before his attention is caught by Xemnas, and he smirked* Why no.. *a hand goes dramitcally to his chest* ...don't you recognize me? I'm Aphrodite. *and instantly flares* OF COURSE I'M HADES YOU IMBICILE! *and points his finger in Saix's face cutting them off, still seething* Did you really think dying your hair, and sticking on a pretty little grey number was going to put me off?! *and impersonates Pain very quickly* 'Yeah boss, he had a scar, like an X, in the middle of his face! Yeah yeah! ...and the prank, the prank boss, it was so goooood!~ It was just like Sai used to pull, only better. You shoulda seen the Moogle boss, you shoulda seen im! kah-hahaha-*suddenly shifts again*-NOT. AMUSING. TO ME. *and growls, leaning in* Not, when you owe me *counts on his fingers quickly* ..one hundred and forty nine, my beloved little minion. And the last commission is still running loose. Particularly, in that ring. *throws his hands up* Do you have any idea, the burn he sets in my bones every time he steps in? Hm?!

[Saix]

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *raises an eyebrow at this, looking between Saix and Hades* How amusing, darling, he believes he knows you. *fake chuckle*

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *feigns a bit of surprise rather well, wanting to roll his eyes at the usual rant.. may as well play along with it though: both ways. One thing Hades was good at was challenging him. He would say damn Pain, but: someone had beaten him to that wish. He tightened his arm around Xemnas. No he wasn't uncomfortable yet, not enough to be anything less than the smooth well acted manipulator he was, even managing a slight drop of his color* I... apparently so. *clearing his throat he looked between Xemnas, Sephiroth and the god, a somewhat nerved glance* Milord, I think you have me confused with someone else. I and my lover simply came to see the fight, after hearing of Sephiroth's return..

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: The graffiti in question was put on me sometime I had passed out at a party. I doubt my love would ever be that cheeky, especially at how jealous he can be. *smiles as lovingly as he could manage at Saix, turning his gaze back to Hades*

<BlindTaleTeller> Hades: *growled in close to the others nose, a dead cold stare from his sunken eyes* Think you can fool me, girlfriend? *flicking a finger at Xemnas' chest impassively, his lean poofed out and in again betwee their ears, hanging his arms over their shoulders eyes darting between them: tone quieter but no less dangerous* Are you forgetting who you're dealing with here? *and raising them again briefly* I mean, come~ on!~ I'm Hades, Lord of the Dead for crying out loud! *another poof, and he was in front of them again, rubbing the fingers of one hand together in front of his chest, eyes on Saix* And I know my people. Don't I Sai? *shrugging, he seemed to pass it over* But! I'll tell you what. We'll make a deal.. you get emo boy *motions to Sephiroth as he finishes his round* out my realm so I can properly harvest a few more suckers without his interferance.. *motions to teh two of them* ..and the both of you get out of here alive, this century, without a long, involved conversation in the pits to reminisce about old times. If not drag an admission screaming out of you. *devilish smile* Whatta ya say, Sai? I'll let you go, free of charge this time.. and all you have to do; is get one scraggly swordsman out of my house?

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *frowns deeply, glancing at Hades* And why is it that the god of the Underworld cannot throw "one scraggly swordsman" out on his own? This is your domain, I was under the impression that you were at your best on your own land.

[Saix]

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *looking to the winged briefly, he knew why.. the same reason he couldn't keep him there, once he'd been let out of the pits.. but.. Hades wouldn't let that clue loose in a stadium full of potentials, bonded, and general other outsiders: his golden eyes shifted back to see what his answer was going to be, or: if he was going to deflect. Either way he could guess the outcome. Saix, was betting on the two more probable, frowning mildly with his brows drawn together as if in concern, a mildly gritted and slightly higher pitched sing-soong tone* Darling...~ don't provoke the Gods please...~

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *looks at Saix* But love...*he squaks in return* This is hardly our quarrel.

<BlindTaleTeller> Hades: *a dry, almost blank look, he fingered his temples as the two of them went at each other: letting it get that far before he interrupted, raising his fingers between their faces* If, we're done with our little lovers spat..? I'll make myself clear. *tapping Saix's chin as he came around their backs again, he hugged his arms closer around their shoulders, very nearly whispering between them* I am, Lord of the Realm; everything here, is under my domain: and, you're already in it. I get bored.. same faces, same old spiel. Keeping a few new faces wouldn't be such a bad thing, from my perspective. Heh..I do it every day. But, I do like to be a good sport every now and again. Shake things up, make things interesting! So.. you have two choices. You can take the deal, or; you can refuse it. *and he patted their shoulders, pushing them further along, more to the side, or rather closer to another rail* Lets recap.. shall we? Find a way to remove emo boy, *and one hand shooed briefly at the winged swordsman where he had stopped in an exchange with Auron along the way with one hand* satiating my desire to see one of my best contractors in action again.. *and he leaned in close to Saix's ear to hiss* ..even if the one present, is just a sad little portion of that once great harvester of mine.. ..or~, draining away in a swirly green pit of pain. *and he pushed their heads forward to have a look over the edge into the abyss of souls, holding a few seconds* You remember what it's like in there.. don't you Sai? *shrugging* Not so much fun, as I understand it. *and waving his hands in the air as he turned, he shook his head* But! If you're not capable of talking one little sword swinger into going back to whence he came.. well.. *smirk* I'll just have to take that as 'no deal'.

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *head stayed in that lean forward, lips pursing angrily at the swirling mass below as the god turned and started walking away, growling* I hate you.. so much.

<BlindTaleTeller> Hades: *laughed low, a near humming sound of the kind that said he had the upper hand from the beginning and knew it: taking that for exactly what it was, a deal* Now that? Is the Sai I know.. go get 'im Tiger. *poofs out again, completely out of sight*

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *grits his teeth, following after Saix, obviously less than thrilled* So how do you suppose we carry out this lovely task. *falls into step with Saix, practically growling*

[Saix]

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *kept his eyes on the target as he turned and made a bee line for the winged, none too pleased himself. He, seemed far more calm though; after a few breaths* It's fine. His temper was a little more agaitated than I had anticipated.. *a brief glance to Xemnas in thanks for that* ..but it can and will be dealt with.

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: If you say so. *adjusts his toga again*

<BlindTaleTeller> Sephiroth: *didn't even look back at first, simply stating as the pair came in close enough to hear* One wonders, after that display.. what is so important, that the both of you in particular would come to find me. *his wing straightened as he sheathed his blade, turning his green eyes over his shoulder* Especially Saix. Somehow I doubt you've come to reminisce about old times.

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *grunts* Hardly. And this is hardly the place. *looking out across the crowd briefly, and over Xemnas' eyes, a brief sort of nod; to make a suggestion to back up his own* Might we suggest a change of venue?

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: I believe a change of scenery is called for. *still frowning, eyeing Sephiroth with barely hidden irritation*

<BlindTaleTeller> Hiro: *smirked then, a small chuckle as he turned to face them; his usual cold disposition* Is that so.. hm. But.. I do like it here, so much. *slid his thumb along his chin briefly, flicking it at the end before that hand came down to rest at his hilt* I might be persauded to leave this place.... on one condition.

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *let out a slow, low sigh, eyes locked on the silver haired warrior*

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *eyes Sephiroth* And what might that be?

[Saix]

<BlindTaleTeller> Hiro: *holds up a finger briefly, searching through his coat for a few moments before finding what he was looking for: and dangling the munny pouch in front of his face: his expression curling into a slow, but humored even smile that very near bridged on a grin* One hundred, was it?


========================OOC===========================
03:10:53 am <Moth-Orchid> LOL]
03:10:54 am <BlindTaleTeller> Hiro: *couldn't resist*]
03:11:08 am <Moth-Orchid> anime-oujo: You win *gives cookie*]
03:11:53 am <anime-oujo> OH FUCKING HELL SERIOUSLY!?)
03:11:59 am <anime-oujo> *dying irly*)
03:14:06 am <themightyalexa> Marluxia: *SNORT* *covers his mouth* ))
========================END OOC========================


<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *swats at the munny pouch* Stop fooling around.

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *his mouth drops open, cheeks turning red with complete and utter humiliation*

<BlindTaleTeller> Hiro: *pulls the pouch back a bit to stop it's swing, his eyes not having left the first even for a moment, he clucked his tongue, running his thumb along his jawline briefly, letting his eyes drift lower: much lower* Such a lovely shade.. one wonders how well I could make it spread. *eyes slowly coming back up, his brows lifted briefly, that devil's smile still present before he dragged his attention back to Saix, working a smirk in* I'm quite serious.. though, no: not here. What says his pimp?

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *very tempted to clock the winged* Watch your mouth, before I bloody it. Traverse Town, that sounds like a better place to discuss terms.

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *on the verge of summoning his aerial blades, thinking of so many different ways to disassemble Sephiroth, still unable to speak he's so infuriated*

<BlindTaleTeller> Hiro: That eager to have me elsewhere? *half cooed from his lips, he was still smiling, and chuckled* Very well. Traverse Town. The fountain, in the Second District. I'm far too curious .. *a deeper smile* ..just what it is that brought you here, looking for me after all.*his eyes slipped over Xemnas one more time* Besides that.. the hotel, is very close at hand. *and with that he lifted his hand as a temporary goodbye, the Darkness enveloping him as he chuckled*

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *barely able to hold back the urge to let out an infuriated scream* ....*takes a few deep breathes through his nose, turning his gaze to Saix* What...the hell.

[Saix]

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *looks to Xemnas as soon as he's gone, shaking his head* I'll explain everything once this all done, but not here. *a sigh, looking towards the dais on the other side of the ring, just as Hades sat down: and shooed at them, smiling* That takes care of one problem.. but. *moves his hand to Xemnas' shoulder* You shouldn't let him rouse your temper.. it's half of what he aims for when he opens his mouth: a reaction. He enjoys making others squirm. *turing, he waited for Xemnas, heading towards the nearest exit* Understand that first, and you understand him.

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: I have little desire to understand him. I have had my fill of lechers for today. *hikes his toga up high over his back once more, following closely after Saix* This trip has been most unpleasant.

<BlindTaleTeller> Saix: *shook his head sighing again* And that, is why until recently I have refused a mission partner; since Roxas. *looking back, he turned sharply once outside of the Colosseum again, opening a portal in a dark corner where it and they would not be noticed by anyone else* Failure to understand the mind of the opposition.. and prepare for all instances, is what ultimately leads to failure. Last time, it was Axel.. *an annoyed huff, and he made the simple remark as he pulled a longer cape from his bag: one of two and the very few items in it; he offered that one back to Xemnas, as he passed through. Yes, he had it in there the entire time* ..I hadn't planned on losing to Hades, once he spotted me.

<anime-oujo> Xemnas: *takes the offered article of clothing, fastening it while he followed the other* I see. *frowns again at the mention of Eight*
