Not-with-a-whimper

(OOC: Then say that he likes to trick people straight up and that that was his intention at the time. The thing about rps is that you everyone's character can do a lot of different things, including trick other characters and use illusions, but all of those tricks and illusions must be made clear to the other rpers so that they may figure out what they want to do or how to handle the situation. I don't want to have another instance of someone saying that they used an all powerful move, then everyone jumping on their case, then them saying that it was just an illusion like I had to deal with in another rp. We say what characters are thinking and planning, or else this situation won't work. Other role players should be mature enough to go with what you try to do if it's a good idea or won't mess anything else up. Also, I don't have much if any say in this, but I think Big Man's fine. He's like hammer space, so as long as he doesn't use any devices or attack anyone or anything like that then I think he should be okay.) Felix knew his answer as soon as Rebekah spoke up. If she was going to the fight, then so was he. To fight, that is *cough cough* because he loved... fighting. Yeah. Axel sighed in defeat inwardly. "I'm there," responded Felix. "If I get a chance to beat someone's face in without getting in trouble for it, I'm totally there." Troy looked down at his empty hand and summoned his keyblade in it. He had failed to protect anyone before, and he would not fail again. Turning to Keilani, he said "I'm going to fight. I know that we keep getting separated, but I want you to stay back. I'm sorry, but that's the best way I know to keep you safe. If you really want to join, I won't stop you, though."

(OOC: I'm so confused right now.) Felix smiled as the vehicle showed up and Troy was finishing with his cure spell, healing him. "Alright! We can finally get this show on the road!" called out Felix. "Yeah, but where should we go?" asked Troy. He didn't know what to do next, really. He'd been so consumed with finding and saving Keilani that his view on the future totally fell out of wack. Instinctively, Troy reached for Keilani's hand. "Ehh, haven't thought that far yet. Back to Mariah's house, I guess, to rest up and train for the next battle. Either that or we can get involved in the massive fight I'm sensing out in the woods. That's if you all feel up to it, that is. I don't understand everything that's happening out there, but it looks like Final Fantasy VII is well represented."

I'm so firetrucking in. Here's how much I give a firetruck. Bet you've never seen a firetruck like that before, huh?

(OOC: Dang it. Time's basically stopped at the other location because no one there is posting really, except for Yuffie. I really wish I had another character who could be there in the middle of mess right now.)

Troy, for his part, was practically unscathed. He considered it odd due to the fact that if the plan had played out he would have faced the two in heated conflict while the others prepared to sneak attack, but seeing as Scott and Ethan had both left just a little after they had arrived, followed by two other fellows, one with Ansem Seeker of Darkness and the other with Master Xehanort himself, along with the revelation of Vanitas's true colors in taking over the person he had been inhabiting, things got really out of hand really fast. "Who here needs medical attention?" he called out after Keilani had joined him.

I'll be 23 *shudders* and out of college, hopefully teaching children somewhere and hopefully with a wonderful woman by my side (except in the classroom, that'd be akward).

Axel took over Felix and shouted towards Seichi and Arina. "Hey, Kairi! Glad to see another good guy on our team. Sorry about that whole "kidnapping thing", ya know? But I did kind of save your boyfriend there or whatever, so I say that makes us about even, right? And Sora, we're good, right buddy?" Axel knew that being involved with the Organization had caused him a whole lot of animosity, but he'd met Roxas, so it couldn't be all bad, and he got to meet Sora twice. Besides that and being able to help out Namine, he couldn't quite bring himself to regret it fully. He also felt like there was someone he was missing, and suddenly thoughts of sea salt ice cream came to mind. At the beginning, even he and Siax had been good friends, until recently. That's when he realized that he felt Siax inhabiting someone in this world. Troy was conflicted. Of course he'd like to be able to heal Keilani, and he did know how to use a cure spell, or Ven did anyway, but he also knew that Aqua would be much better at it than him, and by extension Rebekah. He wanted Keilani to get the best treatment possible, not that he thought the others deserved any less until the "special vehicle" arrived, but she held a special place in his heart. He didn't know if Keilani would take offense if he didn't heal her though. Confused, as boys often are with girls their age, he decided to simply ask her. "It's up to you, Keilani. Would you like for Rebekah to heal you, or me? She's probably a lot better at it than me, but I promise to do my best." Ethan was ticked. That snotty girl was a lot more of a threat than he'd imagined, especially for one who'd looked so weak and vulnerable. "Relax, Ethan!" began Hades, "that's what we have that Scott character for! He's working hard over there training in that other room so that he can take some of the heroes down. When he's outlived his purpose and become all tuckered out, we'll swoop in and take him out, then we'll turn all of those so called "heroes" into zeroes!" Ethan sighed. Hades was right, but still, he couldn't wait to be rid of them all, that way nothing would ever be a challenge again and he could do whatever he liked. He just needed to heal up first. Meanwhile, Scott was nearly done preparing to break into Langley. The CIA would never know what hit them.

Troy blushed at the kiss and then rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. He'd actually meant for everyone to help Keilani, but looking around he noticed that a lot of people needed medical attention. "Um yeah, of course that's what I meant to say. While you help Keilani, Rebekah, I could probably help someone who just needed a cure spell or two."

"Only if you're sure," responded Troy. Looking closely at Keilani, he suddenly noticed just how bad her injuries were. She didn't have any major gashes or life threatening conditions and because of that Troy had been too happy to notice the small stuff. Now, however, he could see that she had a lot of minor injuries, and they were everywhere. "Hey, Rebekah, do you think you'd mind helping me heal Keilani some? Ven tells me that Aqua was always a really good medic when he or Terra got injured." With that, Ven's worry for Terra sprung back up. "Don't worry, I'm sure Sora will be able to fix everything involving Terra as well," Troy piped in. Turning to Tudi he continued. "Hey, Tudi, was it? I know that Yuffie was never the healer or anything, but you look like you might be good with first aid, and that sure could help as well." (OOC: Are Arina and Seichi there as well? I'm sorry, there are a lot of characters and it's becoming slightly difficult to keep up.)

Felix looked at the group, his eyes lingering a bit longer on Rebekah than the others. "Focus, Felix!" said Axel. "Right!" Felix answered, slightly embarrassed. "Well, the good news is that Keilani is safe and that the villains are gone. The bad news is that unfortunately, one of our own has fallen in battle. Also, less importantly, since the bus was on fire and crashed, well... let's just say we don't have transportation any more and I have a lot of explaining to do to my friend. Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Fancypants, I'm gonna need you guys to get us a limo to fit us all in there. I'll help cover the cost with Marcus's money if necessary. I feel like right now we all need to get healed up and ready for the next battle. I don't know when it's coming, but we'd better prepare, 'cause it's gonna be a doozy," finished Felix, really wishing he had some alcohol right about now. (OOC: I'm going to try to do the best I can at writing Damion's characters in the manner he has set up for them.)

(OOC: And Rebekah is still there as well, yes?)

Dang, Kiari's changed a lot from the princess I knew. Unless I'm mistaken, no one has Oathkeeper, and some of Aqua's keyblades might be a good fit. Idk, just a thought.

(OOC: Umm, there aren't any chocobos in Kingdom Hearts and in KH lore Aerith is still alive, but whatever. I'm cool with FF VII stuff. Would anyone mind giving me a run down of who's still at the "Keilani rescue mission" area where Troy, Keilani, and Felix are? We need to get those characters back and involved in... doing something.)

Actually that was me who was mistaken in posting that, apologies. On any account, I doubt that Xeveemon's character will be swayed by romantic feelings Zack may have for Aerith. Damion Strife informed me that he's in a tight spot and gave me control of Felix, but I'll wait until tomorrow because I'm incredibly tired.

I totally understand. If you unveil a new console and people don't realize you've unveiled a new console, you did something wrong.

I pull Kirby sooo much. A light weight character with lots of jumps, an assortment of standard b moves (just pick from the people you're fighting), and the hammer and rock modes of death.

Aside from that, the official name has been decided and they aren't going to change it. You can suggest that in a few years when the next one comes out.

No, the character who used to have Zack Fair from Final Fantasy VII as an inhabitor now has Simba, unless I misread your character sheet. Besides, it was mostly just a joke.

The explosions knocked Ethan even further away and knocked his back against a tree. He was now bleeding and probably had a few cracked ribs. He quickly checked. Yep, unless the shooting pain was just in his head. Gathering up the last of his energy, he flung a ball of fire towards the mini sun he'd left hanging in the sky, then disappeared in a cloud of ash as it became unstable.

The plot is the puzzle and you have to work diligently on placing all of the pieces in their right spots. Aside from that, the original Kingdom Hearts has a fair amount of that sort of thing. I think that it'd be fine to have, but I'd like to have the movement capabilities of Kingdom Hearts II or 3D to pull it off with. That doesn't seem to be the direction that they're going with this thing, though, so... yeah.

Ethan was utterly shocked by the concussive bursts of energy that exploded in front of and around him, launching him into the air. "What in the...!" he cried as he tried to arrange himself in the air to land properly and prepare to face Mariah once more. In his current position, however, he was wide open. (OOC: Lol, I'm a freshman in college. Sleep doesn't exist here. It's perfectly fine that you want to make devices and powers and do things with characters and all that jazz, but everyone here needs to be able to keep everyone else in check. I've had a few ideas that I posted on the other page that were shot down, so don't worry about that. The story just doesn't flow well if something is pulled out of no where and doesn't go with the rest of things or if the ability of device is overpowered like mine was. No matter if it's the most brilliant idea in the history of ever, it has to be met with popular approval, especially from people like Azure Flame who are very picky about the rules, and rightfully so.)

Ethan was luckily immune to the ill effects of his fire and smoke, but knew that if anyone were to hit him with any kind of fire that he'd burn just like the rest. Coming across as immune was almost as good as being immune, though. Unfortunately, even he couldn't see were Mariah was for all of the rising smoke. "You idiot! She's got an inhabitor, just sense for it!" Hades shouted to Ethan inwardly. Under his breath he replied, "Of course, Lord Hades. Always a pleasure to gain counsel from you." There was an edge to his voice and they both knew it, but Hades really cared more for the lip service than anything else. Closing his eyes, Ethan tried to judge Mariah's location.

(OOC: You could pull the awesome series of explosions coming from Tifa's fists from Kingdom Hearts II, though!) Catching his breath in just the nick of time, Ethan quickly leapt to the side, hoping that Mariah's punch would carry through to the tree. Using all of his might, Ethan increased the intensity of the flames on his scythe and ripped through a good portion of a tree trunk, sending the now blazing tree barreling down towards Mariah. In fact, due to the mini sun in the middle of the battlefield, much of the forest was catching ablaze.

Lols. James only loves Mariah, Mariah loves both James and Joy, Joy loves Mariah and possibly Elie, and Elie may like Joy (or may just be sad that Zack Fair is no longer inhabiting anyone for her to crush on). Speaking of which, if you want to make this really complicated we could say that Zack jumped over to a different host between FF Incarcerated and KH Incarcerated. So much confusion and so many emotions. This would be a soap opera. All we'd need after that is an untaken female character to bridge the gap between James and whoever was to have Zack. Rikku, perhaps? Keep in mind that I'm tired while writing this, so take it with a grain of salt.

Troy, who had been smiling, suddenly grimaced at Keilani's words. It was true, and they had to take him down if they were to even stay alive. Did that make him a bad person, he wondered? To kill someone just to stay alive? Maybe if that was the only reason, but he had to protect Keilani, and there couldn't possibly be anything wrong with that. Even if there was, however... even if saving Keilani made him a demon, Troy had decided it was worth it. The thought struck him as odd, but as soon as it did, it felt normal. If Keilani were in danger, what could he do but protect her? Ethan was launched into a tree forcefully via a powerful kick from Mariah to the back. He struggled to regain his breath, and in the meantime swung his scythe, producing a wave of fire aimed at Mariah. He had to keep her away until he got his breath back, or she might actually have a chance of winning.
