kingdom hearts roleplay sideblog for kairi. highly selective (private leaning). low activity. 21+ mun. action and crossover friendly. written by JJ. follows from piousolus.
“Now now, I treat everyone equally---gents, ladies, and, of course, non-existent entities alike,” he responded insistently to her assumption with a chortle, allowing the chip bag to migrate away from the bars, his own hand dipping into its contents. “And believe me, if you’d’a met her? You’d change your mind right away about how she shoulda been treated.”
A second more---and curious about where this conversation could lead---Xigbar took a moment to shift into a squat, feet remaining flat on the ground, crouching with his elbows planted on his knees---then, another chip lifted to his mouth to crunch down on it with loud purpose.
Then, after chewing, his blank expression lacking in any indicators of his mental state, “Look, I’m not exactly thrilled about dealin’ with prisoners-of-war---in my experience, it always ends in an icky mess.”
Abruptly, his eye darted away, and a sigh escapes his nose---unbidden, as his mind takes but a moment to travel backwards. All the nightmares he had experienced---all the lives, destroyed, as he could do nothing but stand there and watch the ashes fall like blackened snow...
---And then he was back to focusing on the present, as quick as he could be to add: “---but Sora’s gotta have that lil push to get ‘im reared up ‘n’ ready to go to the races. Soon enough, you'll understand that it is what it is.”
For a second, a tiny little second, Kairi thought she heard something that resembled a person, beating heart and all ( ha ). Capable of feeling, and sympathizing -- pulling from a life that she couldn't fathom yet, perhaps, remained something worth sympathizing for, in return. It softened her edges, and the grip on the bars, all still within that time frame. That fragile little second...
... before he ruined it by mentioning Sora.
Kairi's gaze raised and she shot the nastiest glare she could possibly muster. A heart of pure light had no such darkness to act upon, but that didn't make them incapable of hate. In fact -- what is light but a declaration of burning?
❝ Liar. If you weren't thrilled you wouldn't be here bothering me. You think it's funny, don't you? Awful. ❞ Of course all of the complicated things she ( almost ) felt had divulged into very childish finger pointing. But what was she, if not childish... lacking any sort of experiences. Why else was she here and not with the others?
Still, he persisted to remind her of the worst of it all. That said inexperience of hers was being used to punish Sora, in some way. But there had to be something she could do... anything.
Kairi suddenly got a very stupid idea.
❝ I think I do want a chip. ❞
"Kairi, you know I'd never hurt you that way-"
"-You're just so pretty in your pain." ♥️
"Kairi, you know I'd never hurt you that way-"
And yet she flinched. Why would she do such a thing? She who would know her loved ones better than any. Who would, instead of fleeing or cowering, would throw her arms around a shadow when she knew in her heart of hearts that it was the boy she loved the most.
Was that related to this? Was this...? Why did she flinch? Was she scared? Did she fear him???
What big teeth you have...
❝ You're being bad... Let my arm go. ❞ her voice is barely a whisper. But when she pulls back and his grip tightens, it raises. ❝ That hurts... I said let it go. ❞
"-You're just so pretty in your pain." ♥️
Color blooms across her face, and yet she's trembling at the knees. Every molecule in her is screaming to RUN. But her joints are locked up. Her eyes are blown wide. She's a rabbit under the shadow of a wolf, on the verge of keeling over.
Her heart stopped beating for a second.
And then the light pumped life back into it anew.
❝ I said... ❞
.・゚: * SHEEEEN...! *:・゚.
❝ LET GO OF ME...!!! ❞
Before she could even register what was going on, light bloomed from her shoulder blades, a lone but mighty wing bursting out-- with one violent flap it drives as many of those FEATHERS OF LIGHT into his flesh. To seer him with memories of love, that had been taken away from her.
.・゚: * ♡ @valorxdrive || continued from here
❝ Hahhh... ❞
His plan was executed flawlessly, sparks and flares dance across the sky, with shimmers that rival the cosmos. Why-- Kairi feels breathless at the sheer closeness they are to the spectacle, closer to the stars than they ever were when sailing the gummiship. It was as though... If this sheet of glass weren't between her and the fireworks, she could reach out and clame the flames for herself.
She turns to Sora, wondering if that wild adrenaline has taken hold of him, too, only to startle at his gaze not on the bursting spectacle at the window... but on her. That heart of pure light would start pounding at her ribcage the moment she noticed it, both shyness and excitement pumping blood through her veins.
Kairi has half a mind to think he'd cast a gravity spell, with the way her face had been slowly inching the way towards his. Her fingers curl around his, her pulse dancing in her ring finger. And just when she could feel the warmth of his breath on her lips, and the tickle of his lashe meeting hers, she breaks this enchanted silence to whisper.
❝ What if we touched the fireworks? ❞ Her grin widens with mischief as she pulls back at arm's length. ❝ I bet we could fly out and scoop those sparks into our arms, and it'd be like hugging the stars. ❞
.・゚: * ♡ @multif0rmed || i owe a starter
❝ The worst part isn't not knowing if you're real or not. ❞
Though that was unfathomably NOT GOOD, as well. But as Kairi teetered on the colorful cobble of radiant garden, no more rooted than the flowers that swayed in the wind here -- she came from here, but could never truly understand what it was to be OF here, because he took that from her.
❝ It's that real or not, it means you're still a part of my heart. I think I can't stand that the most. ❞ Her fingers curl tightly over the handle of her keyblade.
"Are you telling me that the same feather-brained jerk who escaped MY Underworld, not once but twice, has returned, AND YOU LET HIM SIGN UP!?" Hellfire wildly flared off Hades' body as Pain and Panic squirmed in his red-hot grasp, crying in pain as their unforgiving master continued to choke and burn them in each hand. Eventually, throwing them both to the ground as Hades roared out in fury.
"W-we thought if we let him in-" Pain choked on his words, bouncing off the floor and mid-transforming into a lizard, while Painic gasped out, finishing the rest of the sentence before slithering away as a snake, "-that Kairi girl can never leave."
The once-lashing Hellfire ceased immediately, returning to the cool blue Hades was known for. Heaving a few deep breaths while one of his hands ran through the flames at the top of his head, Hades dryly chuckles, talking to himself, "Whoa, whoa. Here's what you do. Let hole in the ground continue to participate while the little firefly burns her light out. Either way, two birds, one stone."
❝ You did great. Heh... You make it look so easy. ❞
"I know."
The Angel's countenance was graced with a charming smile as he responded in a confident, almost sly manner, his twin blades resting nonchalantly on his shoulders. Despite the intense battles, he appeared unruffled. His charisma was undeniable; with his angelic features and calming voice, he was the kind of individual mothers cautioned their daughters and sons about—trouble wrapped in clever pleasantries.
Without waiting for an invitation, the angelic young man settled comfortably beside Kairi, adjusting his ivory wings. Retrieving a leather bladder filled with water from his toga, he extended it to the Princess, his grin and tone emanating genuine sincerity.
"You look like you could use this. It's fresh. You need to stay hydrated for these kinds of games," the winged stranger said, offering the water to Kairi. "I hope you don't mind me being so forward, but I can't help but admire a beautiful girl willing to test her limits. Is there a reason you find yourself among us vagabonds and brutes?" His words served as a casual icebreaker and a heartfelt attempt to comprehend Kairi's journey and provide assistance if she confided in him. The bait is set; he only needs her to take it.
Kairi can't help the way her brow quirks at his unabashed arrogance. He certainly earned bragging rights, with his show of skills out in the arena. But there was something so unintendedly silly about that cocky attitude.
Nonetheless, she feels relieved he's giving her the time of day. Maybe it's a little silly, given how dire the stakes were here. She could lose a match, or even die, and be trapped here forever, sure... but one thing that weighed on her the most, perhaps, was how unbearably lonely she was feeling throughout it all.
Everyone else only saw her as competition, and their rude remarks reflected it. But being able to sit and talk like this? It was comforting. And gave her something of a pick me up -- like a flower, that only needed a drink. And speaking of drinks...
She nearly reaches for the offer but her fingers curl in on themselves in hesitation. ❝ You sure you're okay with a girl drinking out of this too? ❞ Still she laughs and accepts it, cradling it between her palms as she stares into the dark abyss of the narrow opening. ❝ ...Thank you. ❞
And just like that her second wind fades, after he goes asking that.
❝ Uh... hah... yeah. I wanted to test myself alright. ❞ Her fingers nervously pry through her hair. ❝ Because all the tough people fight here, right? None of that baby stuff in the coliseum. I'm like, soooo over that. I needed a real challenge. ❞
But the facade fell apart at record speed when she tried to show him a face that would match her words -- inevitably she grimaced and slumped over with a whimper. ❝ ... Who am I kidding. If it were up to me, I'd have left matches ago... I'm just... I'm so exhausted. But it's no use. ❞
And as though a jolt of electricity shot through her, se shoots upright again and scootches close to Pit with a newfound fire in her eyes. ❝ How do you do it? You're running circles around everyone and you aren't even breaking a sweat! If I were half as good as you, I wouldn't have to stay in this ugly place anymore. ❞
Then again, if she were half as good as him, she wouldn't have gotten into this mess to begin with.
❝ Matter of fact, I'd give that hotheaded jerk that tricked me into fighting this tournament a piece of my mind! ❞

Tossing : steal from me!
controversial opinion but ive suffered enough and should get everything i want for forever from now on and also im pretty cute
❝ Woah. That's, like, no joke. You're for REAL for real. ❞
She's never felt so assured in her years. This was a gal who knew what she was about—and as someone who finished her own academy years by some manner of miracle her instructors would still struggle to explain, Honey wholesale supported taking 'study breaks' to bask in life's bounties.
❝ Y'know, that's not a bad idea! If it's really this gorgeous around the clock, it might be a natural habitat for a creature like me... what kind of competition would I be running up against, oh great tour guide? D'you have favorite sweet spots around town already? ❞
❝ Weeeell... ❞ she paces aimless thought.
❝ It's not a big town. We only have maybe two or three hot spots for sweets. And everyone has their specialties, you know? So no one steps on anyone's toes. Like Mister Mako kneads the chewiest mochi. The Seafoam family's got a hard candy shop! And Miss Starlight? You might like her, Honey, she's very stylish. And she makes beautiful wedding cakes stuffed with paopu. ❞
Kairi blinks. ❝ Oh! You've probably never seen a paopu huh! They're our famed star shaped fruit! ❞ Her arms fold shyly behind herself. ❝ And they have this... special legend to them... erm... well I shouldn't just describe it, let's just go together!
You better get a swimsuit ready! ❞
❝ Pit, Pit! I got the perfect dance for you! ❞
She proceeds to assume position........... oh so gracefully........ into only the most cultured of stances...
the chicken dance.
❝ I don't wanna be a chicken, I don't wanna be a duck, so I shake my butt! BOK BOK BOK BOK-- ❞
[ from @maregiis HAHAHA ]
Captain Pit was in the training hall; his ivory Pegasus wings were tucked close to his body as he focused on practicing his footing, the rhythmic sound of his quick steps echoing through the hall. Fast feet and swift reflexes could mean the difference between life and death in combat. His mind couldn't help but drift to the recent training session with Aqua. Her elusive nature and mastery of the Ghost Drive technique had caught him off guard. The memory of her using that strategy to outmaneuver him still irked him. Ghost Drive, a blend of speed and the art of creating illusions was a formidable skill, and her finishing move was a testament to her prowess. Despite being bested by her, he couldn't help but admire her skills deeply. As the memories played in his mind, a slight grin crept up on his face, and he pushed himself even harder, dashing, skidding, and leaping with renewed determination.
❝ Pit, Pit! I got the perfect dance for you! ❞
As he made his way forward, his foot caught over itself, causing him to stumble and fall sideways. Kairi's sudden appearance startled him, and he practically jumped out of his skin. Rolling over to face her, he remained on the floor, propping himself up on one elbow as he arched a curious brow in response to her words. "Okay," he said, "I'll give you the time of day."
She didn't see him fall; he totally meant it. Also, giving her sarcasm. Once she begins her little song and dance, Pit squints at her, feeling the tip of his ears on fire... Was she? No, no, that couldn't be. DENY. DENY. DENY!
"Is that a little jig you mortals do these days? You look ridiculous, Kairi. If you want to show me how you move-icus. Why don't you join me for training?"
I'm gonna fuckin kill you.
!!! A hero appears! all sweetness and vigilance, ready to rescue a wilting lily from her gloom. ❝ Gasp! You're so right! Why should I be made to suffer the shine-less seasons when perpetual paradise is possible! and being offered by one of the cutest girls in the universe? ❞
❝ I've been meaning to really see the Islands from top-to-bottom... if you're super sure you wouldn't mind, I'd love to take you up on the offer. ❞ sounds like she'll be leaving the shoppe to her familiars for another stint. For her health, of course.
❝ I'm not super sure, I'm super mega ultra sure. ❞
Because ensuring fellow cute girls unwind and soak in the sun will always be priority................... as well as dodging her scala ad caelum language studies. Yuck! Surely her master will understand that helping friends comes first!
❝ Who knows, maybe you can open a chain and have a property right on the islands! See, self care can also be a entrepreneur opportunity! ❞
pout pout pout. it's starting to get cold again. the great yearly travesty which is The Departure of Summer.
❝ Sounds to me like you need a vacation at the one place that's summer all year round! ❞ ENTERTWINES THEIR FINGERS TOGETHER AND BATS HER EYES. ❝ Destiny Islands self appointed tour guide ; at your service! ❞
“Hey, Princess. Fancy seeing you all the way out here,” Vanitas says while holding an ice cream cone he’d gotten through some not-so-reputable means. His red eyes gleam at her as he takes a bite of the strawberry swirl.
“This place hasn’t changed a bit. Ten years and I still know my way around.” Well, Disney Town actually has changed. Vanitas just wasn’t feeling very complimentary (was he ever?).
“Maybe I oughta see if I can break that Cornerstone of Light thing they got up in the castle. That stupid thing is giving me a headache.”
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP BREATH--
❝ Vani, you will NOT break the cornerstone of light! You hear me? Poor Miss Queen Minnie is already worried sick about the King, she doesn't need any of that on her plate! ❞ She's all up in his face, wagging her finger inches from his nose. ❝ So don't even think about it! You're gonna' make me very mad! ❞
Kairi, like usual, overestimates how intimidating she actually is. Vanitas hasn't even batted an eye at her scolding.
❝ Why don't you walk around town with me instead? We can hold hands, and no one will think you're up to no good. And then, I can get you food! ❞ But he already has an ice cream... which she is now eyeing up. ❝ Or uh... We can play games! Hehe, I bet I can kick your butt at Rumble Racing! If you're not a sore loser about it, I'll even give you the prize! ❞
And while he's distracted with the audacity of that statement, she steals a quick lick of his ice cream.
❝ Myum! ❞
What is Kairi and Aqua's relationship like, now that they are master and student?
Kairi is expectedly determined, tired of dragging everyone down and wanting to be able to catch up to her loved ones. She is eager to excel, and Aqua knows just the ways to help her along. Noting Kairi's affinity for magic, as well as excellent conduit for the light.
But the two of them are not without their conflicts.
For one, eager as Kairi is, she is still her usual lackadaisical self, meaning if she can find ways to goof off she will. There are a lot of times where Kairi will complain and whine, and there are even funny times when she will try to sweet talk her way out of extensive training, only to be scolded and thus pushed harder into her regimens.
Because Aqua, is a much stricter person, not to mention her stresses of doing things by the book, traditionally, so to speak.
Aqua is also deeply concerned for Kairi. She carries a lot of guilt for the life that has been left to Kairi, and sees it as cruel that she has to take up arms, especially when she sees how tender Kairi can be. Because as it stands, Kairi is not a violent person, nor was she particularly all that physically active like her peers are.
But it's her desire to be strong and protect them that pushes her leagues above those days where she sits to the side whining or holding back her tears. When Kairi puts her mind to it, she can do incredible things-- she's got an affinity for magic and she is an incredible conduit for light, and though she's a big baby about pain, she never gives up in the middle of a fight -- she's got a powerful drive to keep fighting even if she's not an inherit fighter and that's what encourages Aqua to believe Kairi can continue as a keyblade wielder.
In turn, Kairi greatly admires Aqua. She chose her as a master for a reason, and has been growing to emulate many of her master's techniques--er, as best as she can, anyway. She's still suffering every time Aqua makes her do her stretches. Kairi not only wants to fight like Aqua, she wants to be strong like Aqua. Finding herself struggling with her own fears and uncertainties, knowing someone like Aqua could overcome the deepest depths of darkness inspires her like no other.
Which isn't to say Kairi doesn't worry about her own master, despite how much she idolizes her. Kairi feels that Aqua keeps a lot to herself, and because of that she is a lonesome person. It's why she doesn't mind at all that Aqua constantly chews her out, because the way Kairi sees it, Aqua is the happiest when she has someone to care about enough to scold them.
Kairi brings out the warm and sunny side of Aqua, and Aqua keeps Kairi grounded and focused.
The two of them can be at odds, but their dynamic is ultimately one that compliments one another.
♪"My little Icarus taking a bath with his little bath wings! My little Icarus, together we sing while we bathe with our little bath wings!"♪
Despite his hiccups and giggles, the Captain of Angels joyfully sings off-key while happily taking another sip from his chalice. This time, he had been stumbling through the castle halls belonging to Master Aqua, dancing by himself until he saw the Princess watching from a corner.
"PSsshhfft, look at you being so sneaky! Y-you like my song? PFttkekehahaha, okay, but hear me out!"
He appears to be stepping toward her but falls backward and hits his back against the wall for support. However, he snickers, commenting that he didn't even spill a drop from his chalice, showcasing how amazing he is.
"When I was a kid, I HATED bath time. Lady Palutena used to chase me all around the temple-icus. Stubborn lil' me as naked as a babe trying my hardest to get away from her... Heh, she would sing that song to me whenever we did bathe. It made bath time-icus fun..."
He continued with nostalgia in his voice, his eyes softening at the thought, his silly little grin never leaving his flushed features as he prattled on.
"I didn't have my wings-icus back then, so instead, I would use my arms and flap them like a chicken. Haha..haah.. hooh.. heh... Lady Palutena always made everything better-icus... I miss her. I still sing that song to myself when I bathe sometimes... makes it feel.. less...ZZzzzzz.."
It's too late. Captain Pit has already allowed himself to slide down the wall, sitting up against it until the alcohol finally takes hold of him. His eyes close, and his chalice slips out of his hands. He slumps over, softly snoring.
Kairi really needs to stop running into him like this.
❝ Hiya, Pit-Pit! What do you have th-- ❞ She stops mid wave, realizing a little too late that it wasn't juice he was slurping from that comically large cup. Well... one might suppose that alcohol could be a form of juice. The kinds that little ladies like her ought not be trifling with! But who was she to turn heel, when her dear friend could barely stand on her own?
She rushes up to him and holds her arms wide open, expecting him to plummet, but he sways opposite ways and ends up against the wall. Kairi lets out a long and deep huff, planting her fists into her hips.
❝ You're going to be in big trouble drinking that around here! But not in any more trouble than you are with me , right now! ❞ She puffs her cheeks up. ❝ You have to stop overdoing it! Aren't you afraid to get sick!? ❞
But he doesn't seem any interested in Kairi's scolding, instead sounding off to her... things that make it hard for her not to break into a smile. Oh... Ooooooh no... her mouth is getting all crooked. She really wants to burst out laughing -- a chicken!? OHHH...
❝ Piiiiiiiit! ❞ She whines, and he (mercifully) stops sharing embarrassing details of his life as sleep claims him. ❝ Ah! ❞ She's quick to drop to her knees, by his side, wrapping an arm around his shoulder and feeling his face with his free hand. Softly chiding him. ❝ You still act like a kid... dummy. ❞
She sighs and tries to adjust him more comfortably... only to lock eyes with the almost empty chalice. Kairi reaches over and raises the thing to her face, drawing it near to take a sniff.
Ugh! Smells strong! Everything in her senses her not to proceed. And yet...
She looks down one end of the hall.
Then the other.
And takes a quick sip.
❝ BLEHHHH!!! YUCK YUCK!!! ❞
Panic fucking FLINGS that ipod across the room, to maintain her princessly ( and disney brand safe! ) image!
❝ S-Sora! You can't just sneak up on a girl when they're in the middle of training! ❞
❝ What ipod. I don't know what you're talking about. ❞
... the music can still be heard blaring through the headphones on the floor...
❝ Hehe. ❞
Normally. It'd be the sight of her swam like toss and the shimmer of her eyes that would capture Sora. That could take him away from the realm of morbid wonder, and concentrate solely on the fact that she's drawing that attention to him!
Except. Could he really?
Temptation found itself base boosted from the side of the room.
Not to mention, that teehee level fib she just cast! Oh no. Sora was certainly aware in this instance of time.
So much so in fact, giving her a sideways glance. "Yeah, I guessss you got a point." He immediately (oddly) acquiesces, edging into a trademark position of arms crossed behind his head.
"Being rude isssss bad and all, so lemme do ya a freebie! Guess the sweat made something slip!"
Excuse for an excuse! So there he was, a charming prince in going at sonic speeds to procure that said Ipod.
Only to slam on the headphones.
