Chapter 6: Dining With The Nobodies
The dining hall was an open, elegant room. It was large and white with a long black table and black and white chairs. It could be assumed that The Superior really liked these colors. Each chair was numbered around the table.
Usually, everyone was to sit in their correct order although Axel would sit with Roxas all the time. When Xemnas complained, he would merely switch the 12 chair with the 8 chair.
"Now I'm in my seat. Better?" he would say. Then Larxene, who wasn't pleased with sitting next to a stiff like Saix and a bubbly Demyx, would move back between Axel and Marluxia. Xemnas eventually gave up, and Saix eventually moved closer to Xemnas.
With the arrival of Tryxel and Rexial, the order had even more chaos. Xigbar was trying to sit next to Tryxel, who wanted to sit by Zexion but also sit with her Tsuin, whom also wanted to sit with Axel, who wanted to sit with her AND Roxas. Let's not forget to add Demyx to the mix who wanted to sit by Rexial.
Tryxel saw the numbers on the chairs and frowned. She spotted Zexion then smiled and skipped off to the seat next to him.
"Hello kidnapper." she said teasingly. Zexion covered his face behind his book.
"Hello Number 15." he responded, boredly. Tryxel frowned right as Xigbar plopped next to her.
"Hey, My Lady." he said, wrapping his arm around her. Zexion frowned.
"TSUIN!" Tryxel yelled for help.
Rexial turned around to her Tsuin, only to run into Axel and a smaller blonde.
"Hey Rexy." he smirked. Roxas glared from him to the brunette in front of him. Rexial giggled.
"Hey Axy!" she said while Roxas rolled his eyes and walked off. Axel looked at him with concerned. "Where y'goin Roxy?"
"You can check on him if you want. I think I gotta go help Tsuin." Rexial said, seeing Tryxel struggle with Xigbar. "Bad Xiggy! Get off." she said.
"It's all fun and games, Sweets." Xigbar said, attempting innocence. Tyrxel broke free and moved closer to Zexion who sunk in his seat.
"Rexial! Sit over here!" Demyx called. Rexial happily complied and then heard, "I thought you were sitting with me?" from Axel who sounded somewhat sad.
"Let her sit with him." Roxas said.
"Umm…. " Rexial said, not sure where to go.
"Here, I'll sit over there, so you can sit by Axel AND me." Demyx said. Axel smiled and Roxas muttered something like "Oh joy."
The Superior then walked in with Saix.
"Everyone sit! Dinner will be served shortly."
"But the seats are all screwed. Because of them." a blonde said, with antennae like strands of hair.
"Yeah, well, how about you just sit down and deal with it." Rexial snapped. The girl looked taken aback and then smiled.
"Very well then. The girl's got guts." she said, sitting by a pink haired man. Eventually everyone was stuck with their seats and Xemnas started talking.
"As you all see, we have two new members. I do expect everyone to meet with them properly after dinner." Xemnas stated then nodded to Saix. He snapped and weird creatures came out with plates and coverings.
Once everyone had a plate, the 'servants' uncovered them. There was a questionable sliver of meat, mushy green stuff, and hard bread. Everyone stared at the food in silence. There were a few pokes at food here and there.
Demyx attempted to taste the meat, gagging in the process while Zexion sniffed at his plate.
Suddenly, the sound of a fork dropping broke the silence along with Axel slamming his hands down and jumping up.
"Fuck this. I'm going to get pizza. Who's with me?" he said, opening a portal.
Roxas, Rexial, Demyx, Tryxel, and Xigbar all immediately jumped up. Zexion looked at the Superior apologetically and joined them. After a minute or two of debating, the blonde girl and pink boy went too.
"I try to have a decent family meal and this is how I'm repaid?" Xemnas yelled.
"Learn to cook, then we'll talk." Axel smirked running through the portal and closing it.
The remaining members sat in somewhat shock.
"I rather enjoy the meal Superior." a creepy, old blonde stated. Xemnas turned to him.
"No one likes a kiss up Vexen."
