Let's gather 'round the campfire

[f0rceless.livejournal.com]

Characters: Ventus and EVERYBODY
Setting: Halls of the first floor Dormitory, near the stairs.
Format: Prose to start, will match you~
Summary: The power's gone out, so Ven's starting a bonfire.
Warnings: Magical fire and possibly singing TBA

Ven had only been in the tower for a little while and already something was going on. He didn't exactly understand what was going on, only that it was dark and creepy, and that none of the lights were working. Except in the rooms, but those emergency lights were almost creepier than the darkness.

He had managed to gather up some flammable materials into a pile at the end of the hallway, and with a quick "Fire!" the flames were burning and there was at least some light. And a source of heat! Thus he sat against the wall making sure the fire didn't go out, blissfully unaware of any creepy crawlies.

Hey wait what. Ienzo looked briefly between Roxas' arm and the back of his pointy head, before turning his attention back to the unholy creature that was once a fairly reasonable companion.

Some kind of mutation?

Whatever it is, it's damn scary, and Ienzo almost subconsciously inches closer to Roxas. (If it were any more than subconsciously he wouldn't have done it.)

Ven jumped when Eiji's body started convulsing. He wanted to do something but he couldn't think of anything to do and so just defaulted to watching with shock and concern and confusion and all that good stuff, especially when the belts tarted singing and he looked like some purple dinosaur superhero.

"I don't know...!" Ven answered Roxas rather dumbly. Maybe he wouldn't listen to them, but he still seemed like he was in pain and augh what was going on.

Either way you could guess what his attention was on now as he turned toward Eiji fully. "Hey, what's the matter with you...?" He asked carefully, his grip tightening on his keyblade.

Roxas moved first, drawing the creature's attention. The headfins seem to expand into full-sized wings, and with a heavy forward flap, they send a blast of icy air in Roxas' direction.

bi~lly don't be a he~ro...

Rox had tensed when he felt Ienzo slightly closer than before, taking a split second to dwell on why he was feeling so protective of the kid. But sadly, he didn't exactly have a lot of time to sit and ponder to himself.

The headfins expanding made Rox back up, stumbling in to the kid behind him. His instinct was to dodge away- and he probably could have. But that would sort of leave Ienzo wide open.

Oh well.

Rox only had time to raise his arms in some meek attempt at protecting his face before the icy air hit. He could just barely feel his hand clench around something, but...he wouldn't be able to realize Kingdom Key had manifest before becoming a proverbial Roxsicle.

No amount of hours spent in Even's sub-zero laboratory would be able to hold up to the icy wind being sent by the creature's wings now. The creature didn't seem capable of human speech anymore, or if it was, it was too busy rampaging around to bother. And while Roxas had his Keyblade to protect him, there was absolutely nothing stopping Ienzo from joining him in the ranks of proverbial popsicles.

Oh well, he'll be fine in a few turns... or not...

The headfins expanded triggered a reflex in Ven's brain that told him to dodge out of the way, jumping back towards Roxas and Ienzo just a bit. He had half a moment to notice that Roxas had just summoned a keyblade, but only a quarter of a mind to register it after that.

He was halfway between a gasp and a scream. Ice.

His position let him avoid becoming a popsicle himself, but he was close enough to the icy air for it to trigger that horribly new button in his head. Ice. Being frozen. He was terrified. And it showed.

He was concerned with his friends somewhere, but panic took over; Ven turned tail and ran down the hallway, away from the purple...thing and the ice and the human popsicles.

Two out of three frozen. The wings relax for a moment, and the beast's hip armor rotates and merges, forming a long, heavy tail. The creature spins around, bringing said tail around and smashing the frozen Roxas and Ienzo.

A triumphant roar leaves the beast, and he goes stomping off down the hall after Ventus.

"A-Ah!!"

He heard the sound of smashing and flinched and there was no doubt what it was he has smashed them oh light what was he gonna do they were dead.

At the roar Ven spun around fast to cast a haphazard Fire ball in the creature's direction; fire melted ice at least. He wouldn't get frozen again.

The fireball caught the creature off-guard, staggering it for several moments before it started moving forward properly again.

Ven might have enough time to get away!

[f0rceless.livejournal.com]

And get away he definitely did. Ven didn't even check to see if the fireball had made contact with the creature; he spun right around and took off again-- this time at full speed-- and zipped away down the stairs, and kept running until there was at least a half a tower's worth of floors was between him and the dormitories.
