Don't chase the rabbit

Zexion stumbled out of the darkness, immediately placing a palm upon the wall for leverage as he cradled his side with the other hand. His eyebrows knit together in pain and confusion, breathing heavy with effort to keep himself upright.

How could this have happened? The plan had been flawless! There was no way....no way... Ah, but it did make sense, didn't it...? Perhaps that's what was most infuriating about the whole situation.

"What is he?" His palm closed into a fist as he hit the wall in annoyance, wincing in pain at the movement. "No one's ever worn the darkness the way he does! It's impossible!"

The schemer flinched as a portal opened before him, he relaxed slightly when Axel walked out; only to tense abruptly when Riku appeared as well. His mind raced for a moment, believing Axel had brought the keyblade wielder to finish him off. It took him a minute to realize that it was only the replica, moving away from the wall he had been cowering against. "Oh... Oh yes. The replica...of course. We can use this Riku to defeat the real one." Zexion's mind pieced a plan together slowly, pausing only to give the Nobody a questioning glance at his silence. "Axel?"

He watched Axel with a calculating gaze, mind grasping at why he was asking the replica such things. Wanting to be real? What did it matter. The replica was such a pawn to be used by the organization... His eyes widened with realization at the other's words; was Axel was prompting the replica to erase him??

"Axel! What are you saying to him?!" Zexion could feel his arms and legs shaking with fear; he closed his eyes at the involuntary action, willing them to stop. He would have scoffed at the emotion under any other circumstances. Fear? How noxious. Weren't his emotions supposed to be absent as a Nobody? There was no heart in his chest to feel with. Perhaps, he thought dourly, his mind was remembering the fear of death from before. The schemer supposed that would make sense.

"You can't do this..." He nearly pleaded as he pressed himself against the wall, cowering away as the replica moved towards him. Zexion felt so weak and vulnerable at this moment; oh, how he absolutely loathed this "feeling." His eyes clenched shut as the replica began to drain his life force, the feeling utterly unpleasant.

Wisps of darkness leaked from his body, his head beginning to feel light and almost...peaceful? He could barely fathom the fact that this was how it all ended for him. It made sense at least. He was finally becoming apart of the darkness in which he was created from. It was a suitable ending, he decided, as his thoughts faded away with the last of his "being."

plz sir i never understood quite fully the time traveling hearts

~~potential spoilers below~~??

{ ooc; I hope I understood the question properly but yeah, kingdom hearts is really confusing when it comes to time and heart shenanigans?? There wasn't actually too much time traveling in KH if you really look at it. The timeline was just really stretched out and made it appear as if there were a lot of time skips? It doesn't help that the characters seem to never age.

For instance, it seems as if the BBS events happened a really long time before the events of KH I. In reality, Sora, Riku and Kairi were just very young at the time. That's why Sora was able to help Ventus' fractured heart; since he was in fact alive. His heart wasn't actually time travelling, despite having appeared that way before the release of BBS. The only person who really time travelled was Xahenort in KH3D.

Laughs I'm terrible at this but I hope this helped somewhat?? Don't be afraid to correct me if I misunderstood the question!!! }

Send ✄ for a PET PEEVE headcanon.

Ienzo gets extremely annoyed when people talk without thinking; saying stupid, meaningless things. Small talk fits into this pet peeve as well. He simply finds it useless and annoying.

Send ϡ for a MENTAL STATE headcanon.

When Ienzo is absorbed in his work, his mentality becomes so focused on the tasks at hand that he tends to forget everything around him. It isn't uncommon for him to fall asleep while reading just because he has neglected to rest and take care of himself properly. Of course, he typically continues from right where he left off when he awakens.

[illusionisms]

♕

Send ♕ for a CHILDHOOD headcanon.

Since Ienzo's parents died at such a young age, I believe Ansem may have been like a fatherly figure to him for the majority of his childhood. All the apprentices were kind of like a makeshift dysfunctional family in a way. This could also be why he held the organization in such a positive light, calling it what bonded them all together.

[illusionisms]

Okay, okay. A few others were doing this and I'm really terrible at these but here's a mun intro!! Sparkles~~~

This probably won't be too lengthy because I'm just starting and I barely know what to say already haha but anyway hEY!!! I'm Jumpy (or at least that's my common nickname.) Though I also go by Tsuji or Natasha, the latter being my lame real name. I'm 18 years old (turning 19 in November, woah scary!!!) and I live in Canada, BC. Before you ask, yes, we do live in igloos, ride polar bears to school and put maple syrup on everything.

(I kid, I kid) but yEAH,,,.

I honestly can't even remember when I started rping?? I think I was 11 or 12???,,.? Actually I think I might have started rping warrior cats on neopets????,?.,,,?? Oh man. How embarrassing.

I first joined citta as Haru from tsuritama and I used to rp yogi from karneval and fran from reborn! as well. The only active muses I have rn are byakuran from reborn!, ienzo from kingdom hearts and I also rp Elliot nightray over at frw!!! I used to rp at a lot of other places like pt3, ro9, br, upm, zod, and probably more. Closes my eyes. I was pretty bad at rping back then though.

I also cosplay a lot so you might have seen me around tumblr or something?? I've cosplayed characters like grell sutcliff, dirk strider, kanaya maryam, crona, etc. I'm currently working a judal cosplay and a few others. I go to a lot of cons and stuff. I'm hoping to go to more cons in the states this year which would be pretty hella.

Wow look at this, it actually ended up being pretty long. Incredible.

Anyway, I love meeting and threading with new people so please please don't be afraid to send me an ask or something if you wanna thread or even just be friends!! My twitter is @tsurisama if you wanna follow me!!!

[ frankenstein, faerie. ]

Frankenstein: Is someone telling you how to live your life, or are you an independent person?

"I've never had someone outwardly tell me how to live my life." Unless, of course, Xahenort counted for anything. He had been quite controlling as a Nobody. "I've always been an independent person, despite having worked in large groups for most of my life."

Faerie: If you could get away with anything, what would you do?

"I would research. There's nothing "shocking" or "crazy" I would do. I suppose I could get away with researching a prohibited subject or something of the kind.

Zombie.

Zombie: Do you miss anyone right now?

"I can't say that I do... Although, there is one person I wouldn't mind seeing once more; briefly at least. I feel I owe them an apology... Yet, even if I did see them, I'm not positive I could go through with it."

Witch!

Witch: If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?

"Honestly, I believe the world could be more of a meritocracy in the sense that people should be judged more on their abilities and skills; rather than their personality or faults. Of course there are major flaws to such a system, yet society could learn from its better points."

The natural cycle of things… He was right, of course, but there was something disconcerting about the cold, scientific view that the other held of the world. It seemed to oppose the mindset that Ryoji himself held, however, in that he seemed to disregard the impact that emotion would have on those decisions that people could make. This stranger held the world at an arms length as something to be observed instead of experienced and it was perplexing, to say the least.

Still, it remained that there was something positive in the words of the other, and in his explanation of the workings of his universe’s cycles. It all seemed less sad when it was looked at through the perspective of making way for new things. Loss was sad. Change could be sad. At the same time, change could be infinitely better; all of it was natural, wasn’t it?

"Well… it would make sense to miss your home, wouldn’t it? People can grow attached to the things they get used to. I think that’s part of why so many people here want to leave so badly." A thoughtful hum was given after his sentence, followed by the return of a weaker smile than he had started the conversation with. "If it makes way for new things though, then people can connect to those instead, huh." And even in the event that the loss of something was mourned, there was always the expression of keeping it alive in one’s memory, after all.

[illusionisms]

The schemer certainly saw the other's point of view, understanding that many were emotionally attached to places they grew up and were familiar with. Perhaps he had just gone so long without a heart, trying to remember the warmth of familiarity was increasingly onerous. The corners of Ienzo's mouth downturned at the thought; understanding human emotions had never been his forte, even prior to becoming a Nobody.

"Yes, I comprehend how one would typically miss their home. Though the heart and mind is quite fickle when it comes to subjects like so." It sure didn't make his research any easier, that's for sure. The way a person is so unpredictable. Change was difficult to cope with, though somehow he had managed to go through so much of it. Ienzo sighed, closing his eyes and mentally re-centring himself. "By the way you speak, I can assume you miss your home?" He inquired conversationally, only mildly curious.

Hollow Out // {ca jobs / closed / ca jp's}

[neuroyasuke-deactivated20140321]

Dialy works are far from his scene. It isn’t easy, the possibility of bearing witness to the stupidity of his co-workers. Any other man would gouge his eyes like the grecian tradegy from seeing the disgusting truth for what it is.And perhaps Matsuda would, too, if he did not have a means to quarantine.  

How boring. 

He doesn’t say anything else though, because this new life is just as hollow as he is. This is just a prison, Hive City and all. Think of it this way: no matter what you do, where you are, you’re pretty much trapped. The body is a corporeal cage. The universe, however large, still has its bounds.

Death, in other words, is an open door.

Matsuda hadn’t liked death — he isn’t a masochist, after all, he isn’t suicidal. But neither is he so fond of the idea of being shuttled into another universe just to continue living out half-lives. He isn’t so fond of a place where Junko Enoshima is still traipsing around and knits the stitches holding him together. This: this is like avoidance, at its very best. Full-out divine punishment, at its very worst. (And Matsuda doesn’t doubt the very worst.) .

Luckily for him, and all the world, it seems that nobody’s home. And for the first time, he thinks he should belong here, so it’s not that bad. At least he can do what he likes.

However, He gives it a minute. Gives it two. And then, that guy appears. Lets his eyes drift over the guy in a way that is supposed to come off as lecherous and dirty and intense but probably only appears longing. There isn’t much to take in. He hasn’t changed.

"Yasuke Matsuda," he repeats, tone flat and unamused. "That’s my name, yes. And who might you be?" With that unceremonious greeting, he hides his hands in his pockets, lazily. He doesn’t even waste time analyzing him, just his face is enough. Then, he hears the kind of compliment. “I can’t say the same to you, since I barely know you, but thanks. I guess.”

[illusionisms]

The other's somewhat unimpressed demeanour did little to phase the schemer; he had dealt with coworkers with even harsher attitudes. From Even's icy brashness, to some of his more moody comrades. It was incredibly rare that one had actually succeeded in fully angering Ienzo, only causing mild annoyance in most cases. By now he would have typically shrugged off the meeting and told his coworker to get to work; with the added "try your hardest and go above expectations" talk.

Ah, but this was a new start, wasn't it? He was trying to improve his mannerisms— attempting to act more human now that his heart was regained— unlike how he had acted as a Nobody. Perhaps indulging in a polite and civil conversation with a coworker wouldn't be so bad. It was certainly something a normal person would do, and despite how little care he gave to being considered "normal," being a teensy bit more sociable couldn't hurt.

"Of course, pardon my manners. I'm Ienzo— Fumi Kanno's right hand." Although the position would be more fittingly titled "Fumi's errand boy," he thought with a slight frown. He almost stated this out loud with a roll of his eyes, yet he refrained from doing so; such would be unbecoming of his station. First impressions were always the most important, so maintaining a professional air seemed more favourable.

"I was on my way to the staff room to get a cup of coffee, if you would like to join me." Ienzo offered with a useless wave of his hand, putting the offer out on the table. He could feel the weariness from all that paperwork creeping through his brain. A second wind from a nice warm cup of coffee was definitely needed if the scientist was going to survive the rest of the day.

[maioresumbra-deactivated2014082]

Phew! There was some relief plain on the features of the teen, a bit embarrassed at having been called out at his thoughtless speaking. He wasn’t really one to think too much on any of his actions unless they were important to him, so maybe his mistake was just a bit careless. He couldn’t help it! The first thing to cross his mind just happened to be what came out of his mouth, with very little filter.

"Oh?" A look of slight guilt crossed his face at the words of the other, a bit disheartened to know that maybe his mistake wasn’t so harmless. But it really wasn’t as if he could help it; the past was the past, and he had already been so careless! No sense in mourning what was lost, or in this case, the metaphor of crying over spilled milk seemed much more appropriate.  If no ill will was held towards him, that just made it even better! So, with that in mind, Ryoji gave a nod as the other elaborated on his own world, taking the time to continue eating as he did so.

"Mmf. Huh? Really!? So your world was doomed?" A sobering thought, to be sure, though the way that Ryoji needed to swallow what it was he was eating before responding seemed as if it wasn’t taking the situation quite seriously enough. Still, his brows drew together as he pondered those words. Eventually, he stared down at his near-empty plate as an all-too familiar sense of unease began to settle into the bottom of his stomach.

"That’s… sad. Everything comes to an end, and death is a part of life, but even so…" Even as something that he accepted, it still caused him to feel sad. Mournful, preemptively as it may have been. The lower half of his face buried in his scarf as he retreated further into thought, his voice seemed quieter than it had been before. "Are you… going to miss it?"

[illusionisms]

Ienzo gave a slight nod, confirming his words to be true. To be honest, he wasn't completely surprised at the other's somewhat mediocre reaction. He figured the whole "world's ending" must be commonplace in such a place with people from all kinds of universes. Besides, he couldn't see why his world descending into a mess would matter all that much to a random stranger. It's not like he would be directly effected by such a development.

"You're absolutely right. Life is but a cycle." At least the teen had something almost logical and smart for once. He closed his eyes and sighed, frowning in a decidedly unhappy manner. "Every world must come to an end at some point, thus allowing a new beginning to arise from the former's demise." The schemer spoke dully, stating simply that he was right. It was an upsetting cycle to most, but it made so much sense that Ienzo could feel nothing but acceptance. "It's hardly sad— just logical."

"Miss it?" He nearly scoffed, an eyebrow twitching involuntarily in annoyance. What a ridiculous concept; hadn't he already stated he would rather not witness the end, but instead continue his research here? "I can't say that I will. There are too few reasons for me to return if I had the choice. Besides, I'm sure my problems from "home" will find me eventually, anyway." Problems as in the people he had formerly known. He wouldn't be at all surprised if they started popping up in this city as well.

"Home."

He nearly scoffed at the word. There had never been such a place that Ienzo would willingly state as so. Only blurry memories, of what seemed two lifetimes ago, flashed in his mind; a warm, somewhat fatherly hand clasped over his own and the chill of ice cream in his other. Yet, that was only a fading memory. To be honest, he could barely even recall his actual parents.

The blank, white walls of his room in the Castle That Never Was had never been much of a home either. It had been much too empty, lacking the warmth of a home. Besides, "home is where there heart is," right? Too bad he had had the emotions of a rock when he lived there.

Plus, he had gained so much information and accomplished a fair bit of research since his arrival; would he willingly forget all this, just to return to his world? No, he decided, it wasn't worth it in the least. There were too few upsides to returning. With a quick nod of his head, the schemer decided that returning was no longer an option.
