{Axel}

Axel grinned that he got the song right. "Got It Memorized" was his favorite song to work on and preform. Saix usually rolled his eyes when Axel added it to the song list for a show, but never objected. The arrival of Larxene further brightened his day. Talking with Roxas was fun, but the kid wasn't a hot girl.

"Hi." Axel greeted Larxene in his smoothest tone.

In the back of his mind, he knew he should get back to unloading, but this promised to be fun.

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

For a moment Xigbar could only stare at the black sheet of paper that Zexion handed him.  It was a ticket.  To his show.  For free.  The tall man merely grinned and pocketed it.  This was certainly going to make his night interesting.  He'd only seen one of Zexion's shows once, but that was ages ago, or at least it seemed.  Everything went completely haywire that one time, if memory recalled, something about an illusion or disappearing act malfunctioning.  Xigbar couldn't remember all the details, however, or if it even happened at all.  The beer's tasted just a little too good that he'd had during the show, and he managed to drink more than his memory could handle.  The main downfall to getting drunk.  "Thanks, man.  I'll be there.  And sure, let 'er rip!"  He put the key in the ignition of his bike and waited for Zexion to start his car's engine.

-Faux-

Faux looked up to Lightning while he was eating up his noodles. He shrugged and finished slurping up the noddles before he spoke.

"I'm not doing anything wrong. Actually, I bought some Chinese food for you." With that he patted a take out box next to him. "Lo mein and dumplings. I think that's better to eat than... Ice cream. At least eat some of it before you go to sleep."

 

-Roxas-

Roxas crossed his arms as Axel went to talk to Larxene. There was no way he was going to beat it now. He decided to stick around a bit more. Maybe he could get Axel to sign his skateboard after he was done. He couldn't help but wonder where Saïx was however. The two were always together anyway.

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

~Larxene~

 

"Ah, Roxas. Okay, do you know anyone who could... Ah!" Larxene was taken aback by the appearance of Axel, someone she had known for a long time, even though he didn't know her.

 

"You... you're Axel! You're one of my favorite artists! I've got all your... oh, I'm sorry, you're probably tired of people pestering you like this. I'm looking for a roommate or two for my apartment. Do you... know anyone?" She asked, almost beaming with excitement. "Or, perhaps, know of any job openings anywhere that I could work around my college schedule?"

[Saber Lily 1,543]

-Lighting-

 

She rubbed her head. "Jeez..." She sat in front of him, and began eating. "I'd prefer you not be in my room Faux, I'd like this room to at least be my private santcum...if you'd be so kind. Please."

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

-Faux-

Faux looked up from his food once more with her another shrug. Finally, he nodded.

"I'll get out..." He said. "I'll just eat in the corner of your living room from now on." Faux went silent for a few moments, almost as if be was thinking about something. He spoke up.

"Hey... Do you think this will ever be over? If the Stalkers are gone... And we're free to do whatever we want with our lives. What would you do?"

[Saber Lily 1,543]

-Light-

 

Eating, she stood and watched him go...and then the question. A valid one, she bit her lip and thought.

"...Quit my second job, find a way to retire from the FBI early, and probably find a lover and spend my days not fighting. I hear there's some good anime these days."

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

Axel inwardly beamed. The girl was hot, a fan, and needed help. He wasn't sure he could help, but at least the opportunity was there.

"Well, I don't know anyone looking for a room mate." He answered, a little regretfully. "As for a job, me and Saix might have room for someone. What kind of skills do you have? Think you can set up the wiring for a speaker system or make sure the computers are up and running in time for a show?"

He grinned.

"If you say yes to the last two questions, and/or tell me some interesting skills, you'll be asked this all over again by Saix, who view hiring as a Spanish Inquisition reenactment, with him as the inquisitor. You survive, you'll get the job."

He glanced back at the van, then at his watch. If he wasn't careful, Saix would catch him not doing work, which was usually followed up by a lecture.

"Hey, I got some stuff to set up for the show tonight, but you two can come hang out while I'm doing that." He offered to Roxas and Larxene. "It's always fun to hang out with fans."

[echo 69]

Zexion nodded, "Dont lose it, its the only extra. Rest of the theater is sold out."

He said before turning the ignition and starting his car. He wondered why he gave Xigbar his last ticket but shrugged. It wasn't like he had anyone to give it to anyways, mostly due to the fact that he had been so absorbed with trying to escalate his illusions that he had no time for anything else. He peeked around the side of his car at Xigbar looking to see if the motorcycle was started ok.

"All good?" He asked standing up out of his car and leaning against the side. He checked his watch, he had plenty of time until the show it didn't start until tonight. He wondered he could get one of the staff members to bring him food it he decided to practice all the way up until showtime. 

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

~Larxene~

 

If it had been from anyone else's perceptive, they would've said it looked as if Larxene were to explode with anger. In reality, it was the exact opposite.

 

"I'd love to! I mean... thank you so much! I promise to be the... I'm sorry. I'm great with electronics and such! It's my major in college actually!"

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

-Faux-

Faux thought about Lightning's response. It was a good one. Now what would Faux do when this was all over? He had to take a few moments to think about it.

"I..." He looked to the side. "I want to find someone very important to me... But I don't know how. She's not here and even if I could find her... I don't know what to say to her. I made her a promise a long time ago. And that promise is very important to me." Faux couldn't help but rub the back of his head. "If anything I guess I could just get an apartment instead of sleeping in random places and buy all the Chinese food I want..."

 

-Roxas-

Roxas wasn't expecting to hear that Larxene was majoring in technology. Now that was interesting. Still, Roxas was definitely going to jump at any change to hang out with Axel of Mo0nFir3.

"I'm in!" Roxas said with a smile. "Is Saïx gonna be there too?"

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

-Xigbar-

"Impressed that you didn't sell it for a mini fortune, if that's the case."  In truth, he partly was.  Were he and Zexion actually friends, or at least better acquaintances than he once thought?  Either way, he was now promised with some entertainment for the night, which seemed like the better alternative of serving drinks, raunchy jokes, and managing to get the entire female population hating him.  It was something to do.  And Xigbar liked it when he had things to occupy his time.

 

The dark-haired man followed Zexion's command and tried out the motorcycle.  He turned the key in the ignition, and sure enough it roared to life!  Xigbar put a thumb up before hopping onto the motorcycle, removing it from its parking break.  "I'd better drive it around for a while so it doesn't die again right away," he explained to Zexion.  "I'll see you tonight, okay?"  He tested the engine, and eventually zoomed down the street at lightning speed.  He had no destination--not that he ever did.  He was a free-spirited wanderer, but admittedly it was rather lonely that way.  Not to mention haunting, if considering the bizarre nightmares that had been plaguing him as of late.

[Saber Lily 1,543]

-Lightning-

 

She threw a pillow at Faux's face.

"Go get some rest." She said softly. "Couch is free."

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Axel}

"Great!" Axel replied to Larxene, then turned back to get the guitars he had been carrying.

He chuckled at Roxas's question.

"While I'm sure Saix would love to see me try to run a show on my own, that would probably be too painful for even his warped sense of humor." Axel joked. "He'll be around when he's done with book keeping."

He snapped his finger and turned around to point at Larxene.

"Oh, if it comes up I'm offering a job with Saix, tell him you will bring him a resumé later , or he'll try to grill you on the spot."

Picking up the guitars, Axel headed for the back door of the club, but slow enough for Roxas and Larxene to comfortably keep up and continue conversing as they wished.

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

-Faux-

Faux wasn't really expecting the pillow to the face, especially since he was just talking about something somewhat emotional to him. Then again he knew Lightning was right. A little rest couldn't hurt. The last time he truly slept was... Last month maybe? If anything he only took quick cat naps on the street here and there. With a small sign and nod, Faux rubbed the back of his head and retreated to the couch.

 

-Roxas-

Roxas grinned and followed along with Axel. Yeah maybe it was a drag having Larxene around, but he wasn't going to let that stop him from having fun spending the day with one of his favorite artists. After all, Roxas was determined to get his skateboard signed.

"Is he really as grumpy as he looks on stage?" Roxas asked as he carried his board at his side.

(Hm... Morning really interesting is happening right now. How does everyone feel about a timeskip to dusk when things really get interesting?)

[Saber Lily 1,543]

(Hm... Morning really interesting is happening right now. How does everyone feel about a timeskip to dusk when things really get interesting?)

((Would be good, so most characters are at work))

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

(Fine with me)

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

(Sorry, posted in the sign-ups, but that works for me as well.)

[Aqua7KH 5,395]

(Alrighty here we go! It is now nighttime/evening)

-Roxas-

It was dark and already time for the shows of Zexion the great magician and Mo0nFir3 to begin. Roxas currently sat in the front row to watch Axel and his partner begin the show. It was a pretty awesome day getting to spend time with the singer, however in the back of Roxas' mind he had a lingering fear of something bad happening. He kept thinking about the dreams that plagued him, and it prevented him from fully enjoying the excitement of the concert.

 

-Faux-

Meanwhile as Faux slept, he woke up with a loud start. Something was coming. He knew it. He felt it. This feeling tore his stomach apart and forced him to run right over to the bathroom to promptly vomit right into the toilet... Lovely. With weak legs and a lazy pull to flush the toilet, Faux dragged himself over to the door to Lightning's room. He leaned on it and knocked a heavy three times.

"Light..." Faux ground out. "Its... They're coming..."

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

-Xigbar-

The light turned green, and accelerating from 0 to 65 in a matter of ten seconds, Xigbar sped through the intersection and down the street.  The cool evening air whipped his graying hair over his neck, his black riding helmet fixated perfectly on his head.  It was so wonderful to have his bike up and running again, and even more excellent to be riding around at this hour.  Normally he would be chained to the bar, drinks in hand, and while that was good fun there was nothing quite like the evening breeze to ride in.

 

Finally Xigbar jolted to a stop alongside the road, parallel parking between a sports car and a truck.  He tore off his helmet and glanced up at the building before him.  It was the theatre where Zexion would be performing his show.  As he got off his motorcycle and strolled toward the entrance he couldn't help but notice the advertisement for Mo0nFir3 which caused him to roll his eyes and sigh.  The fan boys and girls loved the two with contrasting-colored hair and personalities, but personally Xigbar had no patience for those kinds of things.

 

He had no issues getting in, thankfully, receiving a receipt from the lady at the front as he made his way toward the rows of seats.  Sitting at one Xigbar saw a familiar mess of blond locks, and for a moment he saw the boy sitting there in a black coat.  Xigbar shook his head, blinking several times and rubbing an eye, before glancing back at Roxas and seeing him dressed in everyday wear.  Nothing extraordinary and no black coat anywhere.  His heart drummed in his chest; he really needed to get evaluated for dementia, because things were certainly getting strange.  He sat down beside Roxas before saying loudly, "Well, hey there, Kiddo.  Long time no foul."

[Saber Lily 1,543]

-Namine/Xion-

 

The two showered and made some dinner, having fallen asleep on the couch. Stretching and loosening up some kinks, the two were preparing for tonight's show.

 

-Light-

 

Eclair frowned and sat up. She hurried to the door and opened it, not worrying about Faux seeing her in her translucent black nightie.

"What?" She didn't sound sleepy, she sounded...ready.

"Where are they coming from, Faux?"

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

Axel could still tell Saix wasn't happy he had offered Larxene a job without first consulting on it. Still, Axel knew Saix would give Larxene a chance. Not a fair chance, but that just meant if she passed, Saix would have no more complaints.

"Your other fan is front row, center." Saix commented, as he looked out at the crowd from the wings of the stage.

"Sweet, Roxas made it." Axel replied, glancing over his partner's shoulder. "Cool kid. Maybe we should give him a job too."

Saix gave Axel a super look.

"I kid, I kid." The red headed rocker said with a chuckle. "Though he was fun to hang with."

"Yes, I image it would be refreshing to be around someone of your maturity level." Saix replied dryly.

"Naw, He's a teenager." Axel said as he put the strap for his guitar over his head, then adjusted it's placement for a more comfortable fit. "A don't think I pass 8 on maturity levels."

Saix grunted his amusement and agreement. For a moment he closed his eyes, then reopened them and nodded.

"Let's do this." He said.

"Right behind you, bud." Axel replied.

Both halves of Mo0nFir3 strolled out on stage to the screams of fans. The show had begun.

[Shard the Gentleman 2,891]

((Sorry guys! I'll post later hopefully))

[echo 69]

(Sorry i kind of dropped off of the earth, I was moving into my dorm^^'')

 

Zexion pulled on a pair of leather gloves, they were a just-in-case for if his finale went wrong. He put them on at the beginning of the show so he wouldn't have to fiddle with them later. He looked around at all the staff bustling around him, and could hear people as the audience got settled before the show. He attached a small microphone to the front of his shirt then glanced again at his notebook. 

"Well here goes nothing." He muttered nodding at the stage manager to tell her that he was ready.

-Faux-

Faux leaned on to the doorway for support. Never in his time here has he ever felt such weakness. He knew whatever was coming... It was bad.

"The... Central Park..." He breathed tiredly. He felt so cold his breath was foggy. "All of their prey is gathered in one place... We have to go now." With that, he summoned a dark sword and held it to his side.

 

-Roxas-

Roxas checked his watch a few times. Mo0nFir3 and Zexion the Magician all in one night. This was going to probably the best night all summer... Until Xigbar showed up.

"Kiddo?" Roxas asked confusedly before his voice was drowned out by the crowd cheering in excitement for the show.

Suddenly however, everything changed. It felt cold, freezing. Roxas looked down to see his breath fogged up. He looked up in even deeper shock; everyone was gone. Everyone except for him, Xigbar and a few other people he knew. How could an entire crowd vanish? Roxas' heart began to beat fast. The entire area was plagued with fog. It was impossible to see the trees around the park. Roxas could've sworn he heard growling nearby.

"What... What is..." He breathed, praying to God somehow this was apart of Zexion's act or something. All Roxas felt was intense fear like no other. The only time he ever felt this fear... Was when he woke up from the nightmares he couldn't remember. Out of instinct he inched closer to Xigbar.
