towerofanimus | (no subject)

Characters: [OU] Master Xehanort and potential victims
Setting: Anywhere you are
Format: I'll match whatever. Action is fine, the old coot just wanted to WORDS for his first post.
Summary: Old man goes out to explore the tower and runs into everyone who never wanted to run into him ever. And maybe some people who did.
Warnings: It's Xehanort. Everything is fair game. KH cast I apologize in advance...

Pacing, pacing. Back and forth. Something had gone wrong, something that he - how laughable, that - hadn't planned for. A random, stray element, that .00001 chance of something coming up. Whatever it was, it had catastrophic effects. His fingers curled and uncurled as he ran through options, through possibilities.

No matter. He was still there. He would find another way. The X-Blade was simply one path to Kingdom Hearts, after all...

He turned on his heel, coat swishing and hands clasping behind his back in that practiced and comfortable way, heading out down the hall. Footsteps even, measured. Making a mental map. Memorizing every step, so that even if he couldn't see or hear he would still be able to find his way.

If this was where he was going to stay, he would make it service him. It was simply a matter of learning its secrets.

Pretty much.

[...Ohgod. He's talking with Xehanort.]

It works. That's all I care about.

Please, go on then.

[Yep. Gonna watch you play there, Sora.]

[...He is highly uncomfortable, old man. So he'll try to just play the game. BRB, bashing in the heads of zombiefied doctors.]

[Probably resists the urge to give him tactics, since he is the one with the controller...]

[Hey, it is kind of hard to work tactics when something is backing you into a corner and you only have a baseball bat because you can't find ammo for the gun, okay?]

[A BASEBALL BAT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH kids these days I swear to kingdom hearts with your command decks and your dodge rolls and your traverse towns... in my day we only had ONE keychain and we liked it that way!]

[He doesn't have any keychains in the game, and he has no special moves or anything! Just a baseball bat, very limited health and lots of monsters!]

[sora does he need to take the controller from you]

[he is exuding disappointment right now]

[It is not as easy as it looks, okay. Especially since he didn't have video games until the tower.]

[JUST SNEAK BEHIND ONE AND HIT IT IN THE HEAD ALREADY]

[HARD TO DO WHEN THEY REACT TO SOUND AND HE'S WALKING THROUGH PUDDLES.]

[SNEAK DON'T RUN]

[JUST STOP WALKING SO FAST]

[PRESS THE SNEAK BUTTON THERE IS ONE ISN'T THERE]

[NO. HE'D BE USING IT IF THERE WERE.]

[THEN JUST WALK REALLY SLOWLY]

[STOP TILTING THE JOYSTICK SO HARD THAT MAKES YOU RUN]

[HE'S TRYING, OKAY. THIS JOYSTICK IS REALLY SENSITIVE.

Also still really nervous around you.]

[THIS GAME IS REALLY FASCINATING IT'S TOO BAD YOU'RE SO TERRIBLE AT IT

there's nothing to be nervous about, just an old dude here]

[IT'S A VERY HARD GAME.

Okay, you know what, he just got a game over. He's going to set the controller down before he breaks it and get up.]

I think I need something to eat.

[looking at the controller curiously because survival horror more like a survival frolic]

Very well, young man. It's been a pleasure to speak with you.

[Enjoy, old man, he won't bother you. He's heading out now.]

Yeah, sure.

[yep gonna pick up that controller sob

oh right

that other thing that is really important to do]

If you ever wish to speak about your father, I'm more than willing to listen. Considering what you've said, I feel it prudent to understand more in order to ensure that my presence here does not cause you undue stress.

[there, token invitation that he knows sora won't take up because lol lightbearers offered NEW GAME NEW GAME]

[YOU BETTER NOT SAVE OVER HIS FILE, OLD MAN. Though he's going to pause at the staircase and glare at Xehanort momentarily before heading down. Oh, he doesn't like you. for Reasons you won't know for awhile.]

[totally saving over your old file

like a boss]
