Two cards

[tenblackhearts.livejournal.com]

Just out of curiosity... who of the Organization XIII is in this confounded place, besides myself, Zexion and Superior?


[private to Xemnas]
That Xehanort chap... is he your... somebody? And is the Heartless here as well? That makes so little sense..
[/private]

Anyway. Any of you Paradisa chaps up for a game of cards? ♠

Quite of few of you sorts are here, I believe.

[tenblackhearts.livejournal.com]

We "sorts"? Nobodies you mean. Even if we aren't anymore... well...

[envelopingebony.livejournal.com]

Technically, although you still have hearts, I don't believe you could necessarily be referenced as an "original" like our dear Xehanort.

[tenblackhearts.livejournal.com]

No. We are certainly not originals.

So my theory was correct. That must make you the Heartless.

[envelopingebony.livejournal.com]

Precisely.

Indeed, I am the heartless.

[frozen-science.livejournal.com]

...If it isn't X.
Wonderful.

Why bother with the card games, Luxord?
You'll win in the end anyway.

[tenblackhearts.livejournal.com]

Wonderful. I missed your sarcasm, IV.

Well, perhaps not. This is a new place afterall.

[frozen-science.livejournal.com]

Of course you did X.

[-slight sigh is transcribed-]
I doubt it.

But for the record, X, what have you lost?

[tenblackhearts.livejournal.com]

[transcribed chuckles]

Well, you never know. There might be some bloke here who could match me. Though I doubt it as well.

Most of my powers, it seems. My control of time, most prevalently. Not memories, like some others apparently have.

[frozen-science.livejournal.com]

If there is someone here who could beat you, Luxord, I admit it would be interesting.
If only to see you lose for a change...

This place must be fond of our kind of powers then.
It's...troublesome.


[[ooc; STRIP POKER SHOWDOWN. XD]]

[distantsonority.livejournal.com]

So you've joined us too, Luxord.

Only V, IX and XII are absent, so the answer is a good few more, though a number of memories aren't quite as intact. The Organisation will never consist of thirteen again.

...

Saïx, if it wasn't clear enough.

[tenblackhearts.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I see. Very interesting. All but those three. So the boy Roxas is here as well? Separate from his somebody, I imagine?

But what do you mean about the memories, old boy? A rampant case of amnesia?

Ah. It could only be you.

[distantsonority.livejournal.com]

You are correct.

It seems so. II, III and VIII all believe to be their Somebodies, and Marluxia does not recall any of the events of Castle Oblivion, and so his betrayal of the Organization.

It seems you have had better luck than them.
...Unsurprising, really.

[tenblackhearts.livejournal.com]

How curious. Hm.

Yes, I am lucky to have only lost my powers. They were rather mediocre anyway. I still have my luck.

[transcribed chuckles] Lady Luck is frequently on my side.

What did you lose?

[distantsonority.livejournal.com]

I see.

All control I once had over my Beserker state. I assure you, my loss was a significant one. Fortunately measures have been taken to block my power, so you will not see the effects unless they fail.

Hope they do not.

Game of cards? How does one play with cards? Are they talismans?

[tenblackhearts.livejournal.com]

Er... no. They are a deck of 52. There are 4 suits; hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs. There are aces, the numbers two through ten and three face cards for each suit, as well as two jokers that are not used very commonly. They are used to play various games.

[devotingly.livejournal.com]

Oh... this person has seen cards like that! The western barbarians had them on them! They had lovely designs on the back!

They can really be played? Like mahjong?

[tenblackhearts.livejournal.com]

Barbarians?

Yes. But not quite like mahjong. Though I have played that game. It is quite challenging.

[devotingly.livejournal.com]

Yes! All the Westerners that come to our land, my lord calls them barbarians!

This person is very good at mahjong! It would be interesting to play with someone who knows how!

Are you Saïx-sama's relative too?

[ Private; Luxord ]

[morosedarkness.livejournal.com]

He is, Luxord. This place makes as much sense as us having hearts at all. But there you have it.

I wish to say at this time that Xehanort must not come under any harm. He has no powers other than the powers of his own mind... please make sure that is reinforced among those loyal among us.

[Private to Xemnas]

[tenblackhearts.livejournal.com]

How curious. Very little makes sense it seems. I swear I saw a flying pat of butter in the kitchen and some boy said it was his pet.

... Understood, sir. No harm will come to him. I'll watch out for the bloke.

[morosedarkness.livejournal.com]

[ Private; Luxord ]

Heh. That is only one of the few strange things you will encounter here.

Thank you, Luxord. Also, bear in mind that not all of our numbers are with us. Exercise caution to who you relay information to.

[/Private]

What is this about cards that you ask?

[tenblackhearts.livejournal.com]

[Private to Xemnas]
In fact, I do believe it was one of the Twilight Town brats.

Saïx has explained this a bit to me. But don't worry, I know where to use my poker face~

[/private]


Simple curiosity. I wish to know if there is anyone here who can beat me at a simple game of cards!

[morosedarkness.livejournal.com]

[Private; Luxord]

I am glad. And the Twilight Town children you say.. hm. Why am I not surprised...

It is good to have you here, Luxord. It looks like we'll have another mission of sorts on our hands as our stay extends here.

[/private]

Hm. May I try?
