Okay, second chapter up- I'm sorry about the 'quality of the first' but I have pretty much everything out of the way, so I can devote a lot more time to this now. Cheers from Maka-kun! :)

Alykx currently sat on the couch next to Roxas in the Forbidden Game Room of Nonexistent Tragedy. He'd asked Roxas about the naming regarding the castle. The blond looked at him oddly, and then said, "Marluxia was in charge of interior decorating, but it was either Saix or Xaldin who got to name stuff."

"That sure would explain a lot. I mean, those two are a little, uh, psychotic."

"Understatement of the year."

"You mean they're worse than I think?"

"No, they're way worse than anyone thinks. Xaldin skewered an innocent bystander of a squirrel because it was eating cashews."

"Since when does Xaldin care about the dietary habits of squirrels?"

"That's all he ever says about it. My point is everyone here's a little crazy in their own way."

"I guess I'll put that down in a notebook somewhere."

A dark portal opened up next to them and a blond Nobody with a mullet hairdo and overall lazy disposition timidly stepped in. He plopped himself on the couch next to Roxas. "How was the Beast's Castle, Demyx?" Alykx asked, trying to be friendly. For some reason, IX was terrified half of the time of him, and the other half was time spent quietly devouring cheese cake. "Went in, said hi to a teapot and a little cup, clock started screaming for some reason, and god knows what the candlestick was doing."

"You had to kill some Heartless or something right?"

"I forgot when I got there. By the way, it didn't look like one was there, so I just sat down with the tea set, and the clock kept screaming for some reason, so I grabbed the candlestick and hit him with it. Turned out to be the talking one, and there was a feather duster right next to him."

"Yeah, she works here on the first Sunday of every month. The two have a thing going on."

"Gross. Anyway, I guess Beast heard, and next thing I knew I got thrown out the front door."

"So, then you teleported here?"

"Ah, no, what happened next was-"

Xemnas chose that precise moment to make his voice known through the castle. "Meeting of utmost urgency immediately. As in right now, and not the next month. Tardiness will result in your disintegration and/or transformation into a dusk. Thank you." Silence followed for probably the next four or five minutes, and Roxas subsequently left to wake up Axel. Alykx had nearly no missions other than one that involved him, Luxord, and an island with a secret cellar full of rum. Good times, he thought, Very good times. He moaned, knowing the two of them or Xemnas would probably bring that up, and he didn't even remember what happened, although Luxord snickered evilly every time it was brought up into question. With a final irritated sigh, he walked into his own black portal to the throne room.

Alykx noticed that surprisingly, a very few amount of members were actually there. For now it was just Saix, Lexaeus, and Vexen. The brunette boy gave a sarcastic boy to the old man. "We meet again, Chilly Anti-Socialite." Just as he predicted, Vexen's eyes almost grew out of his sockets. "You will address me as my name, rank, or proper nickname, peon!"

"You'll never get Pam Macy with that attitude, sir."

"Anyone can get Pam Macy!"

"Silence, you easily replaceable bastards!" Xemnas boomed. Superior didn't exactly yell, but he did raise his voice. "Alykx, when you purposely antagonize Vexen, you annoy the rest of us through his insipid bitching. Vexen, no one gives a damn about your number and it's surprising you still haven't got with Pam Macy." Lexaeus raised a hand, and coughed. Xemnas made a wide gesture. "See? Even Lexaeus has, oh what's the phrase? Um, hit that. Yes, I believe it was."

"The phrase is tapped that, Superior," Alykx informed. "And is my name the least creative? I mean, just an X at the end is pretty unoriginal."

"It was Tuesday and I had to take medicine for a tapeworm, so I wasn't even feeling creative, much less than sober. Anyway, without further ado, let us do the tasking of assignments…as soon as everyone gets here in the next two minutes, or disintegrates spontaneously-"

"As a result of tardiness which is punishable by disintegration and/or transformation into a dusk," the other four droned.

The first two arrived in thirty seconds; Roxas and Axel, who both were laughing about the word water. Their leader coughed twice, and the two snapped to attention in their respective seats. Since Xemnas had yet to buy one for Alykx, he simply sat at ground floor, looking oddly childish. To his instant satisfaction, Larxene, Marluxia, and Xigbar decided to enter. The happiness was mainly for his sister, while the other two were chopped liver, since he hated Flower Power (had yet to find a reason) and Xigbar had tried using him for target practice. Next was Zexion, presumably from the library, and then Luxord and Demyx. Please don't say you were playing cards with Luxord, Alykx prayed. The leader of the Organization took a deep breath, and began reading off assignments.

"Roxas and Alykx, your assignment is in Hollow Bastion. An unusual amount of Heartless is gathering, so figure out why, and then of course proceed with mandatory extermination. Larxene, Zexion, and Xigbar will go to Wonderland and try to secure a secondary base."

"Why do we need a secondary base?" Larxene asked.

"In the inevitability that one of you idiots will blow this one up again. If you can't negotiate a deal with the Red Queen, well, use your imagination. Demyx, you get to go to Halloween Town and destroy the weapons factory being built there and make sure to kidnap an elf to interrogate. Axel and Xaldin, Atlantica. Don't start with the whole can't use our powers underwater, because all you have to do is get a pearl inside the most high security bank in there. Luxord and Lexaeus, steal treasure from the cave of wonders in Agrabah. Lastly, Marluxia and Saix get to play games in Space Paranoids!"

Marluxia and Saix both argued with their Superior on their mission status. Xemnas took it all in coldly before saying over both of them, "You should know better than to make coffee without cream in this Castle by now. I mean, seriously, who still drinks raw espresso? Dismissed." With that, their undisputed leader disappeared. Alykx raised a hand. "I drink raw espresso every morning. Roxas lets go." The blond hopped down to the ground from his high throne, and mock saluted to Axel before leaving in a whirl of dark energy. Marluxia instantly said, "I'll trade jobs with anyone, just please don't make me go ride on those stupid as hell motorcycles!"

Wow, I really didn't think I'd make this chapter so quickly. Oh well. On a side note, I do like just plain espresso, and love Tron AND that 70s Show. I eagerly (more like hopefully) await anyone's reviews!
