Thank you thanks to you all! If I could give you all hugs I would, but as we live in a virtual world, I am somewhat limited in that regard. But I love you all anyways and offer you super virtual hugs. And on the subject of virtual reality-hope you enjoy this next chapter fresh off my brain for YOU! I tried to respond to all your comments too, so I hope I got to them all! :D
Disclaimer: Once again I don't own Kingdom Hearts (SOB). If I did, Xaldin would be a kleptomaniac in need of serious help.
Note: I think you've probably already realized this but it's from Xaldin's point of view. Understand? Namine also interjects several times during this session so her interjections are bold.
Warning: Spoilers for FF VII
My name is Xaldin, number III in Organization XIII. Being number three, you would think the other members would respect me, but no! Whether it's Axel wanting to know how I braid my hair, or Marluxia ordering me around like he owns the world. I always have to suffer for-
Namine: Xaldin. Xemnas mentioned some issues with Larxene.
What? Larxene? You want to hear a story about Larxene?
Namine: YES!
Okay, I've got one:
It was as normal a day as you ever get in the World That Never Was. Recently Axel has taken up video games. At first no one would play with him but then eventually Vexen decided to try playing and he got hooked. We all though Axel had a problem when he started skipping meals and hiding out in his room while barking at anyone who passed his door.
But Vexen took that to a whole new level. He started missing Organization meetings and then he posted up this fan website in where he held discussions with people about the games he was playing and then he would walk up to us and ask us for strategies to beat the heartless boss. Now, we thought he was serious but when he explained all he had to defeat it was a lousy key (no offense to Roxas), we complained to Xemnas.
Xemnas doesn't like to get his hands dirty by directly interfering with other Organization members unless something big happens so he called us together for a meeting to complain about Vexen-
Namine: Xaldin, this story is supposed to be about Larxene, remember?
Xaldin: I know that! If you'd stop interrupting, I could get to the point.
So after the meeting, Xemnas decided the best way for us to help Vexen was to join him. So the ten of us-
Namine: Ten?
Xaldin: Xemnas wouldn't go and Axel was already playing with Vexen. NOW STOP INTERRUPTING!
So, the ten of us decided to join them for one of their video game frenzies. And a very unfortunate thing happened. We all got hooked. Soon we all became as devoted as Vexen with video games.
One day we were playing Axel's favorite game (FF VII). All twelve of us were stuffed into Vexen's room. We had just-
Namine: I'm confused. You were all playing the game? AHHH! (Dodges spear)
Xaldin: SHUT UP!
Vexen had stolen all thirteen of the Organization's television sets and put them in his room when he first got addicted to gaming. So we were all playing Final Fantasy VII.
Namine: At the same time?
Yes, at the same time. We're a very synchronized Organization. We had just gotten to the Forgotten Capital when-
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Demyx cried.
"What the HECK?" Xigbar said, "They just killed Aeris!"
"Her name is Aerith," Larxene said.
"No." Saix said, "I think we can all read. Her name is Aeris."
"Mistranslation," Larxene commented.
"No! I don't want to go into a boss battle!" Roxas protested, "Aeris just died!"
"Uh Vexen, man," Axel nudged Vexen who was in a fetal position on the floor, "The battle's starting."
"Aeris died!" Vexen sobbed.
"Aerith," Larxene muttered.
"WHO CARES?" Vexen cried.
"Hey. Better Aeris then Tifa," Axel said, "She's way more hot!"
"She's not dead," Larxene said, "And you don't have a heart Reno."
"I can still appreciate beauty," Axel fired back.
"She can't be alive," Zexion said, "No one could survive a thrust like that."
"And her materia fell out," Lexaeus replied, "That must be symbolic."
"I can't believe she's dead!" Vexen wiped tears off his face.
"Oh my GOSH!" Larxene shouted, "It's a game! It's not real! The real Aerith is alive."
We all turned to look at her, "What?"
"She's in Hollow Bastian," Larxene slapped her forehead with her hand. "IT'S JUST A COMPUTER GENERATED FANTASY!" And with that she stormed out of the room.
"Wow," Axel muttered.
"I don't know about you," Roxas said, "but she kind of ruined this for me."
Everyone nodded in agreement except for Vexen who seemed to have passed out at her declaration.
As we left Vexen's room Marluxia turned to me, "Did you get the feeling there was a double meaning in what she said?"
Namine's Observations: Uh, get a life Xaldin? And stop with the obsessive spear throwing!
Ok that's it. The quote, "It's just a computer generated fantasy is from Star Trek." Did anyone get what Larxene's double meaning was? Please R+R! Or else no more funny Organization stories. Hope you liked this latest chapter!
