((Jumping on the bandwagen here. I warn you, he's gonna be rusty D': ))

A flurry of hoofbeats filled the still air, and a new, blue stag suddenly appeared in sight, bounding over to them. Long blonde feathers poked out his usual mullet, and a smile seemed to be tattooed on his face.

He only paused for a second before increasing his speed and expertly leaping over Axel's head, landing right in the middle of the circle. He looked around, as if confirming that these were indeed his team mates, his partners in crime, so to speak, before turning to the larger, skull-faced stag.

"Hi guys!" he chirped, always the 'carefree' one. He grinned at everyone around him and sauntered over next to Axel, squeezing his way through to sit down.

His feathers suddenly drooped, as if mimicing the emotions he was acting out, and he looked over at his superior.

"I can't find my sitar..." he grumbled unhappily, almost sticking out his lower lip in a pout.

((fail...))

Roxas kept his eyes moving. Flicking from one member to the next, watching for any sign of movement. He wasn't sure why he'd bothered to show up in the first place, after all he had abandoned the Organization long ago and, as such, been branded a traitor. His eyes flicked to Xemnas and he wondered what the superior would say to him and, more importantly, what he would do.
Movement caught his eye. A familiar red pelted deer was settling himself down among the congregation. Roxas couldn't help but smile faintly, with Axel here he felt a little less nervous. If something did happen he would have backup, or at least Roxas hoped he would. He was never sure what Axel would do these days.
Xemnas rose and Roxas snapped to a attention, ready to flee or fight if necessary, but the superior's words were directed to Axel and he relaxed...for now.
At that moment, Demyx made his arrival very well known. Roxas couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head at his boisterous entrance. After Demyx took his place, a silence settled in the wake of the noisy arrival and Roxas shifted uncomfortably, glancing over his shoulder at his planned out escape route then back to Xemnas.
And then he waited.

((sorry for the fail riddled post |D))

The Savage Nymph snuck in Sitting her self down and examining her hooves like she would her own fingernails. Not at all paying attention to the Males seated around. Her golden pelt caught light in the suns delicate beams as her ears swiveled and perked up with every sound. There was a variable size difference between her and the others, She was much smaller but still had that Ruthless Sadistic attitude of hers. Her eyes glanced from her hooves to the others taking note of The ones who we're present. and the few they we're missing.

Yet Xion had seated herself the farthest away from the whole Organization. Even though she had still been seen as well as heard.
Why did I even come here or appear here? I mean really. She mumbled in the middle of someone's sentence. As well as being seen by a few other she went down lower into the earth. Clearly making herself seen partly in the soil. Again she mumbled something and again every body stared at her. She crouched again this time under the tree. She could hear over here of what One had been saying as well as the others from over here.

Amongst the others seated comfortably in the sunlit clearing lay a grey stag, one golden eye skimming over the rest who'd gathered around. His flank was abundant with scars from battles of his previous life; even after death he was stuck with them. On his left shoulder blade was etched the no. II in roman numerals - his rank within the Organization. Nestled between his antlers lay two candles, burning bright. The most distinguished features were the eyepatch that covered his left eye and the jagged scar that ran along the left side of his muzzle; no one dared to ask how he'd acquired both wounds.

He held his tounge as Axel appeared, amused by the pyro's cocky attitude; some things never did change. But as Demyx came tumbling through the undergrowth, the same goofy grin on his face as he settled besides Axel, he couldn't help but crack a grin.

"Hey there, Sunshine. Glad you could join us."

WHAT. XIGBAR IS NOT A BOTTOM.
Oh dear, I hope that wasn't too bad.

Looks like Xemnas was taking command, again-not that that surprised Axel in the slightest, even if he had had the ability to be surprised. Though he’d lead them all to the chopping block, it seemed as though the majority of those in the circle were content to accept the previous hierarchy. Or, perhaps not. It could prove interesting. “My deepest apologies...” With a little snort, the flurry inclined his head towards his superior, bowing it with a smirk. “Sir~”

Boisterous as always, with all the energy of a which-way tide, Demyx settled himself in next to a rather amused Axel, cool against heat, water keeping the fire from the flower. Though perhaps, not keeping the flora from the flame. A stray petal decided to drift his way after the assassin’s little display, having the nerve to nestle itself upon the side of one pointed hoof. He could smell it from here, the sickly-sweet, choking scent. With a sly little grin, sharp lime flicked to Marluxia out of the corner of his eye. Front hoof raised, Axel stamped upon the petal, trapping it, with a small lick of flame flaring from beneath. When he casually crossed his forelimb back over the other, all that remained was a small pile of ash, dirty-black cinders, and the faint smell of burnt flower.

Satisfied, Axel settled back into his relaxed yet controlled position once more. They were almost all here, now. Axel took a moment to observe those around him. Roxas seemed edgy, though he couldn’t blame the kid-eyes flicking back to an escape route, practically every hair standing on end. It seemed Saix had decided to show up finally, too, perched beside Xemnas like a faithful dog. He attempted to catch his former companion’s eye, though he fully expected this to be fruitless, considering present company. The one titled Xion was more obvious than hidden, sitting apart from the group, blonde locks falling about her face-his eyes, her looks.

His observing was interrupted by the arrival of a familiar gambler-how many were left to come of them-two, three, now? The flurry gave a short bark of laughter at Luxord’s seemingly only concern-of course, the game. He couldn’t resist tossing a quip in his direction.

“Mustn’t be your lucky day~”

“So... Boss~” Addressing Xemnas, he assumed they’d all arrived through similar means, through the nothingness from which they came. And so, he had to ask. “What happened to the big master plan?”

(PFFF TERRIBLE REPLY WAS TERRIBLE, was trying to give everyone something to reply to/keep the ball rolling :B in case nobody picks up/knows, the reason axel sees xion as blonde is because to him, she resembles namine ♥)

((my writing will never be as wonderful as zebbers'))

It would have been impossible to miss the water wielding nobody's entrance even if he had wanted to, and maybe he did, but it didn't show if that were the case.
His golden eyes simply watched as the stag took a place beside Marluxia.

"your instrument is not high on my list of priorities" he stated flatly.
If anything, maybe it would keep Demyx from lazing about so much.
Then again, he rather doubted anything would keep Demyx from that.

His gaze swept around their circle, resting on Marluxia for a moment, if only for a moment, a spark of, dare one say, displeasure, seemed to dash fleetingly through a golden eye, watching for a moment as petals were scattered about by the breeze, pointedly stepping upon one as it moved by, as if he had something to say, but refused to word it aloud.

And then there was Roxas.
Had he been able to, maybe the superior would have been...surprised? that he had shown up, angry, at his past actions?

Nobody would ever know.

His gaze settled upon the key of destiny.

"Welcome back"

Stated as if he had always known that he would come back, but of course, where else could he go now?
This forest was a loop, it would not be so easy to escape here.

Xion, as well was a pseudo surprise, and he glanced at her, as if his words had been directed at her as well.

Looking to luxord the large stag simply blinked slowly.

"You shouldn't have time to play it anyway, we have work to do"

no doubt he would find a way to gamble here anyway, poker or not.

The one welcome sight was that of Saix, ever so loyal at his side, and he quietly moved to stand beside the luna diviner, looking down at him for a split second, had he been able to feel, maybe he would have been pleased, or relieved.

His coat seemed to ripple again along his neck as he looked at Axel.
The flurry, ever so...snarky.

"your sarcasm is still not welcome" he stated, pausing but for a moment.

"Maybe our plan would have succeeded, if...some people, had not made it their goal to hinder the execution of said plan" his ears turned slowly before flicking up again.

"I expect no such...incidents, this time" he stated, looking pointedly at a few particular nobodies.

"we will not fail this time" his gaze flicked about the circle once again.

"I have seen nothing that will stand in our way" a brow arched for a moment in a mockery of interest.

"if anyone has, speak now, that the problem may be taken care of swiftly"

((I feel Xigbar and Luxord's avvies are replying to eachother xD))

"You shouldn't have time to play it anyway, we have work to do"

"OH NO YOU DI-IN'T."

lulz Zebbie you're always so hyper =D xD I've never played Luxord before, never really paid much attention to him, but it's interesting to try something different and I'm starting to warm up for him xD I am so excited for this rp group 8D

(My turn. ^^ I will edit this with a proper post as soon as possible.)

Marluxia remained still even as he made eye contact with several of the other Nobodies. There were no nervous ticks, no gestures that would suggest remorse, no sudden movements that would upset the fluidity of his pelt. He simply craned his neck like a rose in the dark, his eyes narrowing as if to display some sense of amusement or defiance. Perhaps it was both. He had never minded the spotlight and he found himself in it quite often. It came along with his sense of amour-propre, the rose pink ruffles and broad shoulders, and his plans to overthrow the Organization.

Maybe our plan would have succeeded, if...some people, had not made it their goal to hinder the execution of said plan. There it was, that subtle jab, sharp as some ethereal blade had he the heart to care. It didn't really faze him and he instead took notice of the petal underfoot. Things had always been that way. The Graceful Assassin knew of Xemnas' strength and dared not face him as No. XI in a group of thirteen. However, patience was a virtue and flytraps would have their fill. But did he want it this time? Only time would tell, and he had plenty of it.

For a moment, he turned his attention to Larxene, the one member who had seemingly stood by him until he had faded away. They were loyal to each other in their disloyalty to the Organization, having questioned its purpose. Was a heart really necessary? His eyes fell to the tending of her hooves and something small and static convinced his lips to curl at the corners. He was smirking. That is, until his nose caught on to the faint scent of ash.

That smirk faded as Marluxia observed the Flurry of Dancing Flames once more and the blue of his eyes froze over. How they would douse that fire if they could and how he wanted to. After all of the meddling, all of the fighting, all of the downright delicious taunting, he couldn't help but picture that red upon his tines. Or underneath them; it didn't matter. What did matter at the moment, however, was the discussion at hand and Marluxia intended to contribute.

"You are right," came the voice to the crowd. It was masculine, alluring, and oh so confident. "We will not fail this time."

(I couldn't go back and edit my previous post for whatever reason, so here; have another fail post from a certain neighborhood Scythe. XD )

....XD Lol I think I would die. *probably wouldn't even know how to reply*

PFFF use that British charm Luxord, IT'S ALL IN THE ACCENT. Axel says he should try fingering through her deck~ ♥ HYPER? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY BE TALKING ABOUT *pop* Wai thankyew Starkyyyy and like, PFFF YOU GUIZE ARE SO NOT FAIL. STOP SAYING YOU'RE ALL FAIL WHEN YOU'RE CLEARLY MADE OF WIN :B ♥ *groupsmoosh*

ohoh I thought of another possiblity - they could be 'matingbuddies'. LULZ

Lux's non-existent heart is broken :c

(( I had a;

what's going on in here?

...

oh shi---

moment.

...

and yes, it's now my headcanon that Xemnas is just an antlere'd Zebra, that's why his body shape/hair is so zebra-esque |D ))

Larxene's Icy blue eyes Scanned over to the new arrivals, Needless to say The Savage Nymph really was not at all paying to much attention to what everyone was saying. Honestly It really didn't matter to her did it.

She was still opposed to having a heart, still unwilling to deal with the pain that came from having emotions. she glanced to one very Pink stag. It seemed like he was really the only one who understood her, the only one that actually put up with her antics.

Larxene looked to the younger nobody, listening to his words. Actually he had a point, she hadn't seen any of those Heartless buggers anywhere. " The Brat has a point" she simply stated . Returning to her own thoughts.


( ...if anyone fails its me lD)

The icy blue stag's ears perked as the superior spoke. As Axel probably would comment, he tried to get the speech memorized, like a good, loyal second-in-command. While Xemnas' attention shifted threw the assembly, he calmly allowed himself to risk a few glances at some of those who had gathered. In the back of his mind, he knows he is not on many of their 'good' lists, though others probably remained neutral. Demyx, Luxord, Xigbar, and a select few others likely lacked any reason to pose a threat. Roxas and Xion were more on the questionable side, though it might take a few 'puppet' comments to test their sincerity on returning to the organization. Those that had been sent to Castle Oblivion in particular, were the ones to worry about - or at least would be worried about if he had a heart. After all, he had quite a hand in many of their deaths in the past life, though more threw Axel's dirty work than anything. At least, they probably hadn't figured that out yet.

Finally, he allows for a slightly prolonged glance at the flurry. They had been friends before being part of the organization, and the way he sees things, it is the presence of the Keybladers who placed the divide in their friendship - and their secret plans against the organization. Perhaps with a new life in place, there would be a second chance to revive the friendship that was lost toward the end. Either way, he wouldn't say anything until they have a chance to speak, unheard. At the final statement from the superior, he breaks his gaze toward Axel and faces Roxas as he speaks his concern, followed by Larxene's sharp agreement. He scoffs, and seems to return to his indiscriminately cold overview of the rest. "An inconvenience at best, but we'll figure something out. It's only a matter of time before the heartless arrive. There is plenty of darkness in the hearts of those who live native to this forest, and many who seem to teeter at the edge of becoming a heartless even now. As far as the keyblade goes, did it not appear in the Pride Land? This is just another world. With enough effort, perhaps you'll find it to not truly be lost, thirteen." he finally speaks.


(ooc: hehe, yeeeeees! The IIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOONSSSSSSSSS)
