@maregiis

Coming here had been a mistake, wherever here truly was. Vanitas only had a vague idea himself, he’d never seen anything like this before. It wasn’t as if he could link back up to the others to glean information from them anymore. Not that he would, even if he could. He’s long since had enough of being part of something else.

Vanitas is his own being. He is darkness defined by Ventus and Sora’s light. He is both part of them and yet so much more.

He is also currently bleeding out as thorny vines wrap around his body, dragging him off the road toward an inky, black void in the bushes in front of someone’s house. Vanitas gritted his teeth inside of his helmet, swinging his blade back to try and cut himself free. The second the vines around his legs snap, but more wrap around his arms, biting through the protective bodysuit and drawing more blood.

The more he struggles, the more they tighten and cut into him. His heart is pounding in his chest. He tries to call dark fire to his Void Gear, to set this thing alight, but it doesn’t come. A dark void of panic rips open Vanitas’ gut and he snarls like an animal as he’s yanked to the ground. The dirt from the road stings his open wounds, getting into them where he’s been cut. It hurts even more when it begins to drag him over the dirt and gravel.

He kicks as hard as he can, but the vines are so tight that he can’t feel his legs any more. The pain—he wants to escape. He tries to call darkness one more time, to open a portal, to get away, but nothing works!

He’s bleeding Unversed now, his creatures are trying to free him, only to get knocked away or dragged howling through the dark portal that awaits him. A horrible realization washes over him as he feels the end of one of his Unversed, as it’s agony washes back into him.

He’s not going to make it, is he?

#maregiis #vanitas ends up in hell with Kairi yayyyy #vanitas with no idea what’s happening. and he’s too panicked to care

"My goodness, Kairi! Is that you?" She beamed, appearing from behind. Leaning over Kairi's shoulder to get a better view, she was ecstatic to find that it was, indeed, the same little girl she'd met years ago. Only she had matured into a fine young lady now.

"My, how you've grown!" She stepped around the other princess, standing before her now. How Kairi wandered into her world, she didn't know, but she was happy to see her nonetheless. The last time they crossed paths, Cinderella had feared that Kairi's heart would be lost forever. Until a young boy appeared and saved them all, saving the lights of their worlds.

"You've grown stronger, too. I can feel it. Are the Heartless still....?" She couldn't resist the urge to look around, taking quick note of her surroundings, worried that the reason Kairi was here was because the Heartless had returned. The last time they came, her world had been destroyed. The Unversed were another consideration, though she hadn't seen one of those creatures in years.

Nonetheless, she was still so proud of the young woman Kairi had become. Just looking at her, she could feel the power of Kairi's light within her heart. It was blinding and beautiful, and Cinderella smiled fondly, reaching out to take the other princesses' hands.

"Never mind that for now-- It truly is wonderful to see you again."

#maregiis #{ Cindy has adopted Kairi. Sorry I dont make the rules }

[valorxdrive]

"Can I ask you something, Sora?"

Her voice lacks its usual mischievous sing-song, or that saccharine lilt. She's serious, albeit softly so. Not one to usually bring such matters up, least of all when they are meant to be immersed in their little crops of peace. But her heart couldn't keep it silent, once the thought persisted.

"Do you still think about it...? What it feels like to stop being awake?"

A squeeze of his hand. She wants his word above all else. Because it's his strength that she always asks for.

[ from @maregiis ]

"Yeah, Kairi? What's up?"

Sora kept the air open and inviting. Wholly prepared for any branch of conversation that could sit on their current air. Finding themselves along the main island's many beaches, there's a feeling that tremors deep within him. Through a connection like her's, its as if part of him knows without her really needing to say any words. A dependence on such strength he wasn't ready to accept so quickly.

Let her express, let her voice sing, details like this always felt important to the hero who ventured across many Worlds. Thus they would stand, side by side as a blue blanket embraces the shining sun high above.

What follows is a demon that's growing by the day within them both. Holding no form in a material way, but the experience, the very history where they've endured their forms shattering entirely was a measure of hell that the Heart would never dare to forget. His breathing softly hitches, eyes growing wide as an understandable weight of discomfort burrows within his gut.

Just how long has such thoughts managed to run untamed within her Heart? No second thoughts nor hesitation was carried in how tenderly he'd squeeze her hand, how that brazen face would come to face her's in lieu of this very question. Comfort wanted to be spilled forth, but what catches him is the weight behind such thoughts, a genuine desire to peer in those recesses of his being that stood adamant against the many harrowing forms of oblivion itself.

"Normally.. Now and then, and I can't say it's entirely on my angle either. The Dream Eaters really back me up when the nights get particularly rough, but they can only eat up the excess emotion.."

"And the thing is for me, it's different than going to sleep, or even having well.." A small motion is made towards his chest. "This heart itself stopping. I'm not quite sure how to explain it, and honestly, I never want to learn those full details.."

Somewhere in the midst of explaining this bizarre, all consuming feeling that only invites dread, he'd stand a little closer towards her. The both of them have suffered, the both of them endured, in truth that level of having it all end terrifies the hell out of him. There's a distinct, brief shakiness to this tone that couldn't be ignored.

"You can just tell when your Heart touched that genuine brink, can't you..?"

Very few foes ever drew him to such a line. In truth, it's one of those things that couldn't stop scratching the back of his mind. This particular, horrific part of the beautiful unknown was now recognized.

More importantly than that? He'd take these very difficult.. and in truth, hard to explain steps by the princess's side.

@maregiis: " How long did you cry when you got that ouchie? :( " [ from maregiis because smol kairi conversations were had ]

Braig wasn’t too keen on dealing with kids these days. Typically, they were far too loud, too inexplicably sticky, too absolutely incapable of appreciating his dry wit and---quite frequently---inappropriate sense of humor. In truth, he would require more than several hands to count the times he had let slip his---what he would consider---charming turns of phrase, to merely be elbowed roughly in the gut and chastised in private.

But this kid was… well, different.

After eons of observing the myriad of hearts during his travels, he had gained an acute instinct on sensing the quality of their auras---whether it be those glints and glows of the Light; or the harrowing, curling growls of the Darkness. In most folks he had encountered, these tended to be subtle, given that the majority of beings had a mixture of these sorts of elements.

As Luxu had learned, Light never seemed to be entirely unaccompanied by Darkness---and, alas, vice-versa.

Yet at times, there were hearts that brimmed with such power---and this little one here? Shimmering with Light.

Thus, Braig was---due to his current career---willing to deal with this particular wee one---even if this interaction didn’t necessarily line up with the usual conversations that constituted his favorite sort of pastimes.

So, while gazing upon the little girl with his well-known half-grin, one hand alighting his injured cheek (though, not bothering to touch on his damaged eye, which also offered itself up as a prominent subject of discussion), he lightly scoffed, so responding with a kiddingly sarcastic lilt, “Cry?" and he followed with an exaggerated snort. "Nah, I ain’t some kinda crybaby---though, I will admit, maybe I did some grumpin’ on the side---” then, caving to the need to stoke the child’s imagination, added, “---but lemme tell ya, it was quite the crazy adventure.”

❝ Morning, Mister Lauriam. ❞ She appears for her shift yawning at the early hours. One once over, and she realizes something she's realized for a while... ❝ I haven't seen Cineris for a while. ❞

[ from @maregiis ]

"Good morning, Kairi," Lauriam greets her politely, but he doesn't look up at her. He's gotten up even earlier than she has, if only so that he has time to tend to the garden before work starts. Was it always so exhausting to have to do this?

Lauriam's silence is heavy at her question. He taps his finger against the counter and then sighs.

"...Honestly, I don't know. I don't think he'll be back for some time. I..." He pauses again, a grimace forming on his lips. "Things are a little complicated between us. I wish that he would return so I could speak with him. I can't chase after him when he leaves the world."

"So, I have to wait for him to return, or find someone who would be willing to go to the Keyblade Graveyard and look for him—or take me with them to go there, at least."

8 a """platonic""" kiss in which Kairi suggests to Strelly during a sleepover that they practice kissing :)))) [ from @maregiis ]

Kiss Roulette Answered

"Wha-?"

Thinking that maybe she misheard her, Strelitzia asked Kairi to repeat herself.

There was no way she suggested that they practice kissing each other, did she?!

What she reiterated confirmed Strelitzia's fears though, and the young florist looked away bashfully, strumming her fingers together.

"I've never kissed anyone before, I don't know..." Strelitzia uttered, but apparently that was all the more reason to do it.

She had to give Kairi more credit though. The other had been to plenty of sleepovers and knew what they entailed. This was Strelitzia's first official sleepover with a friend, and she learned to follow Kairi's lead throughout the night.

After drinking their weight in soda and eating a giant bowl of popcorn, it wasn't long before the two were laying side by side, curled up under the sheets and looking at each other. Only the moon's beams served as their only source of light.

Apparently, this was something most girl friends did when the house was quiet and everyone was asleep. They shared secrets and practiced doing things with their most trusted friends, serving as a way to be more adept in the future should they find a lover.

At least that's what Kairi said.

Beneath the covers, she could feel Kairi's toes brush up against her foot and Strelitzia's heart jumped, cheeks flushing a deeper shade of red until her freckles stood out.

There was just something about Kairi that made it hard not to believe her. Maybe it was her confidence or the way she seemed so sure of this. Strelitzia couldn't help but trust her.

Spurred on by Kairi taking the lead when Strelitzia didn't say no or push her away, she let her close the distance, a gulp choking at the lump in her throat. Her bashful gaze flickered to Kairi's lips, noting how soft they looked the closer she got. She instinctively licked her own, moistening them just as they began to lean into each other. Their hands found each other and linked, fingers intertwining.

Then their lips touched and Strelitzia felt every muscle in her body relax once the electricity simmered from the pucker on her lips. Her lashes fluttered shut as she melted into the princess.

Indeed, Kairi's lips were as soft as they looked.

@maregiis​   // s.c.    

―  🜛  ― An ultimate test of loyalty would be the final obstacle for the Belladonna of Amestris to fully place her trust in their abilities. First would have to be dear Kairi  ―  whether her gender or her striking similarity to her own days of old she did not know, nor did she bother to dwell upon it. The fact remains that Kairi has proven she will do anything to find her One person. She has been tortured, fought against, belittled  ―  and she persevered. A heart of Purity indeed, to have experienced such cruelty and retain ones sense of self. Undying and Whole. So very unlike the Witch before her.

Perhaps her idea was not needed, but she wished to do so regardless of the outcome. If the girl were to reject it now, then that would be the end of it all. She would kill the girl.

Soft clicks of polished heels sound against the finely waxed floor of the apartment, reaching her Sanctuary and swaggering directly to the shelf furthest to the wall. Inside of a large wooden box decorated with dried witch hazel and gold were several bracelets atop a fine cushion, a special array carved in a flat indentation, lined in amethyst. She took the bracelet at the far right and turned it in her fingers.

         " Kairi, I have one final test before I will trust you completely. "     but would she ever do such a thing to begin with? Would she keep to her word at that show of conviction?     " First, do you know what Alchemy is? "

❝ Uhm... are you busy? ❞

She'd been meandering in the doorway for a while now, wondering if he'd noticed. Kairi hasn't been the most stellar about engaging with the restoration committee these days, but then again Kairi hasn't been the most present in the gardens.

But now she sees it as opportune time to better know this place and its people. Her... original "home." It still felt odd to say that.

❝ I was wondering if you would be able to show me what it's like here in Radiant Garden. If it's okay... I know everyone else has been busy, Aerith already told me today wasn't a good time for her... ❞ Wait-- ❝ N-Not that you were my last option or anything!!! ❞ She waves her hands about wildly.

❝ Oh my gosh, I'm already messing this up. ❞

[ from @maregiis to Squall! ]

@maregiis

"Hm?"

Leon looked up from the screen. He'd been analyzing some data from around Radiant Garden that he'd asked Cid to pull for him. But it's not exactly pressing information.

Kairi seemed... anxious. Granted — with how intense Leon came off — he probably wasn't helping much in easing her nerves by staying quiet while she rambled. He cocked his head slightly, an amused smile crooking at the side of his mouth as she tried to salvage that less than flattering implication.

No, he'd be his own last choice too to show someone around. He wasn't chatty or a people person. Not like Yuffie or Aerith at least.

At least he was somewhat more approachable than Cloud? Maybe.

"I'm not busy." He reached down to tap a few keys on the keyboard and the monitor shut off. Just because it wasn't pressing didn't mean he was going to leave it up for just anyone to walk in and see.

"You caught me on a slow day, actually. Come on." He gestures for her to follow his lead. Come to think of it, for all the time he'd spent helping Sora find his friends over the past few years, he'd really only had a couple of encounters with Kairi.

Might as well remedy that.

#maregiis #{ ☆ Leon ; Transient Lion } #aaaww this is super cute thank you!!

@maregiis

"Ahahaha!!" Vanitas can't help but cackle when Kairi launches herself at him. One arm goes around her waist and his other holds the gummiphone way above his head, out of her reach while she's held against him. Kairi is beyond cute when she gets flustered like this, and he actually quite likes the feeling of her on top of him...

Of course, that's when Kairi starts smacking him with a pillow, which only makes him laugh harder. He can't remember the last time he laughed like this...

He lets go of her and rolls onto his side, holding the phone under himself. "I'm almost done~" he says between the slaps of Kairi's pillow.

He isn't, and he ends up sending the message before he can because one of the smacks forces this thumb down on the send button. Tsk....

"Fine, fine! Here!" He offers her the gummiphone with a big grin on his face. "These things are actually pretty neat."

@maregiis asked for Aqua:  ❛ Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart. ❜

Quotes that broke me ;

Kairi tells her this, and Aqua gives the girl a soft smile.

“Yeah?” When Kairi nods, Aqua hums for a moment. “If you ask me... to still keep that kind of faith, especially in the goodness of others, takes a lot of strength. You have a good heart, yourself, Kairi. Don’t ever forget that.”

❝ No peeking! ❞ If he’d make due on that promise, the sound of waves and Kairi’s voice would take up the whole of his senses. Hand in hand she guides him along with promises of ❝ almost theeere! ❞ and then?

❝ Okay open! ❞

There would be revealed a raft, tied to the shore as it drifts lazily in the ocean breeze. Kairi joining Riku at his side to present to Sora his birthday gift. ❝ Tadaa, we finished the raft for you! ❞ Kairi chimes, only for Riku to put a hand to his hip and raise his brow dubiously. ❝ We??? ❞

She laughs sheepishly, ❝ weeeell... I didn’t come completely empty handed! ❞ Hopping onto the raft she pulls free something hanging from the mast, to which is eagerly offered up to Sora upon returning to his side. ❝ Can’t be a captain without a captain hat, right? ❞ Which it indeed was! One handmade by the princess of crafts herself. 

❝ No objections, right, Riku? ❞ 

❝ I dunno... ❞

❝ Riku! ❞

❝ I’m kidding. ❞ He gives Sora a pat on the shoulder. ❝ Whaddya’ say, Sora? You get a whole birthday to boss us around out in sea. ❞

❝ And this time we packed more food! ❞ Kairi adds, giving Sora those dreamy eyes. ❝ We can take our time and just be together in the moment. ❞

[ SCISSORKICKS OUT OF BED TO GIVE THE HOMIE A LATE BIRTHDAY ASK FEATURING @maregiis​ ! ] 

"Kaiiii, y'know how hard these kinda surprises are for me! Doubly so when I have an idea of where we are." The words were drawn with falsified stubbornness and he enjoys it. Feeling this familiar part of the Sky drawn a golden glint upon them, allowing a phenomenal sense of life to stir alongside of her voice, just a glance towards the keybearer would reveal that impossible hide smile.

Whenever it comes to Kairi and Riku, happiness is as intrinsic as breathing to him.

Thus the scale of trust he holds within them is immutable. His fingers remained attentive and certain as they squeezed her's, following the route until the saccharine nature of her voice prompts him to let the darkness be abated for the sight of light, a clear and concise vision that almost causes his vibrant heart to crash into a thunderous pause within his chest. Another sound of fresh waves rolls lazily along the shore of Destiny Islands as it wasn't just Sora standing here anymore at this moment.

Kairi was there. Riku and that 'insufferably' fond expression were as well. Yet, a secret visitor amidst their ranks would be the invisible glint of a younger Sora, a trick upon the light as his expression vividly matches the present as he steps forward. Any words that try to be forged from language are stalled, only for his emotion to ring clear above all else, pure power now running at the nostalgic wish turned into reality.

Their banter was a sweet frosting to just add completion to the moment at hand. As his lips wobbled shamelessly, reflecting the scale of what such an intimate effort this was for him, he could only stumble closer as the measure of logs, woodwork and sail tying was an entirely different level than their times rife with inexperience, despite the very big dreams they carried.

"G.. Guys.. th.. this all of this is..

How could anyone just not feel loved due to the efforts displayed?

Witnessing the way they batted between each other, how even the bravado eased up as earnest gifts, a promise of an adventure he always wanted to have with them now genuinely within hands reach... It was impossible for the warm tears to resist spilling, from his voice to hitch from the swell of appreciation that wracked his heart with unstoppable reverberations. Even as his vision blurs, never before did he feel so weightless on his feet, so certain of what the desires in his heart wanted to do.

The three of them, holding not a single thing back in molding their wish by their own hands.

Before any worry could truly settle in, the soft hitches of his breath ease into laughter, belly deep and liberating as even as his eyes refused to let the hot tears subside. All that they suffered, all that they endured, learned and grew, and right now it'd be upon this very beach that one of his most bitter acceptances was turned completely on his head.

Within mere seconds as he wiped briefly at his eyes, there would be no hesitation for Riku, Kairi and that Captain's hat to be immediately tackled as his arms filled with such strength pulled them close. His heart wished to resonate with theirs', to allow the depth of this joy that allows such power to flock within his heart to be realized. To know they're here, solid and warm, enduring and still managing to be so kind..

He didn't give a single care that he proceeded to get them tear stained.

"You guys are the best!"

After all, he will always be their Sora.

[aspiringroleplays]

@maregiis

Dhampires were nocturnal creatures by nature, and Sora fought it as hard as he could. He loved the sun and craved the business of the day time, even if he had to wear a ton of sunscreen now just to go out.

But every now and then, he couldn't sleep at night. And couldn't resist the sun's warm rays to lull him into a nap. At least he had found a place somewhat secluded away from people.

This universe was strange, so unlike his own. This was not a universe of demons and angels. This was one of heartless and.... whatever else was here. Where light and darkness manifested itself as physical forces, that preyed upon the heart and it's weaknesses one corner at a time.

And boy, did Sora have a lot of weaknesses.

Sora stirred in his sleep, plagued by images that were not his usual nightmares. Normally he felt rage. Fury at his sire, the one who had killed him and turned him into this. Hate for the vampires that hunted him and wanted him dead. Disgust at himself, for tolerating the monster he'd become.

But this time those feelings only briefly passed through, weaving through his thoughts like fish jumping through a river. The ones he mostly felt was...

Despair.

Grief for the family and life he'd lost. Pain from realizing he'd never be reunited with his parents again, even in the afterlife. Horror from the weight of the lives he'd taken- both from hunger, and to defend himself.

And most importantly-

"Don't do anything until I get there!-"

In his dream he'd burst into tears- but as he awoke and swung up to a sitting position he was dry-eyed, just agonized over the flashback he'd had to endure. The burst of emotions had pushed his traits out, and he was too distraught to pull them back in. Claws and fangs, long ears and stout nose- features and traits of a hunter for human blood. And his eyes, normally a golden color, glowed briefly the color of fire, the flash of pain bringing everything to the forefront.

But then he was shocked, head swiveling to face the one that had been approaching him in his sleep. Like a cruel joke, the familiarity struck him in pain, the shards of his broken heart stabbing painfully into his being. He had asked the witch for an escape from his world, because he couldn't bear the idea of being on the same plane as her as he pursued his goal of getting strong enough to kill his sire and himself.

And yet there she was, her face and scent unmistakable.

"-I want to see that monster suffer myself!"

"Kairi..." he whispered.

The last person he'd ever wanted to see.

You know what? Maybe listening would have been the smart thing to do. So would have asking directions. Or accepting the generous gift of that map. Literally any of the help that was provided would have done wonders in this area that he was totally new in. But nooooooo. Aicken decided against "being a bother" and left as if he knew exactly where he was headed.

News flash. He didn't. And now he's suffering the consequences of his actions. Wrong time to want to be a hero. Ah well. He had sneakily let loose Grim to look out for the building he was after, the Unbound Gargoyle doing what he does best, which is observing. Also known as creepily staring but it all depends on how you look at it!

There's a silver lining to all this yet. Time isn't of the essence, so he doesn't have to run around like mad. Hell, he had planned on staying a little while, even to explore the local library at the very least. So the last thing he needs is to exhaust himself on top of being lost.

A loud groan poored from his lips as he shuffled along, running a hand down his face in a blatant overexaggeration of his plight. "Griiiiiiiiim hurry uuuuuuuuup." And now we're rapidly moving on to moaning and complaining. Fantastic. Grim just left. He should be excited! To look around! Talk to people! Be a nuisance to said people! Learn things! Like any local flora or fauna he hasn't heard of, or heartless that he has yet to encounter and would have to be rectified immediately!

And to do that? He needs to either complete his quest or find a place to stay until he does. Stupid gummi ship, needing a new part to work or whatever. Aicken isn't a mechanic, this is such a foreign concept to him. Animals and Heartless are easier.

He gathered himself up, shaking his doubts away, attempting to snuff out his sour mood before jogging up to a fine lady none too far away, slapping a smile on his face. "Hey, excuse me, miss! Just a moment of your time?"
