16th roar [ video + action ]

[ Greetings, Johto!

It appears that Leon has somehow found his way on Cianwood beach. How? Who the fuck knows.

He's naked from the waist up, feet in the water. Next to him? This big guy:



They appear to be chilling, or at least talking in hushed tones. Come bother them! Entei is entirely optional. ]

[guess who's back-- back again-- 'bug is back-- tell a friend--]

[he's also attempting to climb on Entei's back. stop him?]

[action]

[adamant]

[ Entei appears totally chill with a little kid climbing on him, so Leon lets it slide. He does, in fact, help Sora up. ]

Careful. It's a long way down.

[petitecharm.livejournal.com]

[ someone is methodically tucking flowers into those bands of Entei's. Or trying to, anyway. ]

[adamant]

[ Leon just watches her go with some polite interest. Entei seems unfazed. ]

Having fun?

[petitecharm.livejournal.com]

Mm-hm! He looks happier now.

[adamant]

With flowers on his legs?

[petitecharm.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Because it gives him more color!

[adamant]

Don't flowers usually go...? [ He motions to Entei's mane. Entei gives him a long, slightly disgusted look. Leon, you traitor. ]

[petitecharm.livejournal.com]

... [ looks up with a bit of a pout. ] I can't reach that high.

[adamant]

[ Without a word, he picks her up under her arms and lifts her smoothly up to Entei's back. ] There. Now can you reach?

[petitecharm.livejournal.com]

Wow! [ Kairi lights up, all giggles and wonder. ] He's really high!

[adamant]

Careful. It's a long way down.

[petitecharm.livejournal.com]

Oh-- sorry if I pull. [ very contritely to the Entei as she gets a grip on its mane. ]

[adamant]

[ Leon watches her go, as Entei patiently lets her braid and wreath its mane. ]

Where did you get those flowers, anyway?

[petitecharm.livejournal.com]

From home! I had a whole bunch.

[shadowedthunder.livejournal.com]

['Sup, Leon. There's someone standing not that far down the beach, just out of reach of the water. She should be familiar to you, what with the pink hair and all, but...well, something's off. Her clothes are torn and she's got blood all over her, along with looking like she's about to fall over.

Wat do now?]

[adamant]

[ He's rushing over at the sight of her, because what the hell happened. He catches her by the shoulders. ]

Lightning--!

[shadowedthunder.livejournal.com]

[The moment he grabs her by the shoulders, the woman turns to face Leon. There's blood on her face, but...it's not hers. Not that it actually seems to matter whose it it, considering that there's something else to deal with.

That being that her eyes are a glowing yellow instead of their normal icy blue. Almost like a Heartless, really.]

[adamant]

[ He pauses suddenly, letting go and backing up with a bit of a curl to his lip. ]

What did you do to Lightning?

[shadowedthunder.livejournal.com]

What do you think? [That's no longer a teasing smirk. It's filled with malice and an undertone of mockery as she gestures to her wounds.]

We fought, and there's only one way I'm here and she isn't. [Is she going to have to fill in that blank, Leon? Because she will if she has to.]

[adamant]

[ A snarl. ]

You're lying. Lightning wouldn't fall to the darkness.

[ She's too strong for that, he tells himself. ]

[shadowedthunder.livejournal.com]

[Smirk. You don't scare her, Mr. Lion.]

She didn't. Not to the darkness you know so well. She fell to my blade.

[After a long and hard fight, going by those cuts she's got all over her.]

[adamant]

[ His gut twists. He forces himself to stay calm and not try to wipe that smirk off her face. ]

What are you?

[shadowedthunder.livejournal.com]

A Shadow. Everything she could never accept about herself. [If at all possible, the smirk gets a little more cruel.] In the end, all those little things got her killed.

[adamant]

[ His eyes narrow. ]

I have no reason to believe you.

[shadowedthunder.livejournal.com]

[Smirk, fading. Why do they have to be smart, even when she's not exactly lying?]

Then why isn't she here instead of me? You know she wouldn't let someone who attacked her get away like that.

[adamant]

[ As soon as he sees her smile fade, he knows she's lying. It's his turn to smirk. ]

If she were badly wounded, she'd go get treated, not sit around and let you deal the finishing blow.

[shadowedthunder.livejournal.com]

[Smart man. But two can play at this game.]

She would have if she could have. But you should know that once someone who relies on speed runs out of stamina, they're out. Especially if they're too angry and pig-headed to think straight and retreat. [Smirk is back, though it's rather fake now.] You know how she gets.

[adamant]

[ He shakes his head. She has no power over him now; he's certain of his conviction. ]

I think I've heard enough.

[ He pushes past her--and keeps walking. Wat do now, shadow!Light? ]

[shadowedthunder.livejournal.com]

[Wat do? Simple. Scoff and return to looking out to sea. She won't chase and pine, she's said what she's needed to say. After all, the real one won't be coming back again.]

[wistfulfocus.livejournal.com]

L-Leon!? Um, what is that thing...?

[SERAH RUNS UP, BUT STAYS AWAY FROM THE GIANT DOGGIE]

[adamant]

He's a pokemon, is all I know.

[ He motions to Entei, who sits politely. ] He isn't dangerous.

[wistfulfocus.livejournal.com]

He doesn't look like any Pokemon I've ever see--

[OH NO NOT THIS AGAIN. Serah rises into the air and..

CRYSTALLIZES.]

[adamant]

[ ..........................

Holy fuck Serah what is he supposed to tell your sister now?! ]

...

...

Do you hear that?

...

[thinkingshard.livejournal.com]

[It's even closer now.

...

It's starting to come together.

...

It's.. up beat pop music? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdaSHDj_e2I&feature=related) It's definitely in the vicinity now.]

[thinkingshard.livejournal.com]

[WHERE DID THIS GIRL COME FROM AND WHY DOES SHE HAVE A MICROPHONE.

SHE IS HERE TO SERENADE YOU, OF COURSE. SHE WINKS.]

[adamant]

[ What the fuck just--

oh god his ears. ]

[Action] fffff. i am gonna have fun with his. >3

[30secondassist.livejournal.com]

[While Leon and his giant pokemon are talking, Aerith will pop out of nowhere along with her Espeon. She notices the water and decides to use her Seal Evil spell on her Espeon to have something to float on. SHE IS NOT GETTING HER BEAUTIFUL DEADLY POINTED SHOES IN THE WATER. NO SIR.

She'll continue to watch Leon and his pokemon a little longer. It was hard not to feel amused]

Oh, Squall. I never knew you liked animals so much.

[Action] yaaayyyy!

[adamant]

[ He glances up--spots Aerith. Nice dress! Is that Maria the Espeon?

A pause. It's not like Aerith not to remember not to call him that... ]

Leon, Aerith. Please.

[ See, he can be polite! ]

[Action] .....Leon is not gonna like this Aerith very much... > >;;

[30secondassist.livejournal.com]

[Isn't it pretty? This dress shows off her figure so much better than the other two. That and it has the pointy shoes that she enjoys to use. And...ummm...it could be, but this Aerith wouldn't know.]

Leon? [Confused flower vendor is confused.] But isn't your name Squall? I remember you told me so...

[Yeah. Not like he would remember, but that's the name he gave her the first time she assisted him in battle.]

[Action]

[adamant]

[ His mouth tightens. This isn't the Aerith he knows. ]

You've got the wrong person.

[ He turns away from her, possibly so that she won't see his disappointment. ]
