Nightshift 36: Courtyard

[numberii.livejournal.com]

((From here.))

Why was it that the Courtyard seemed so much darker than most other places? He dug the water features, sure, but Xigbar didn't like how the place just seemed... dead. He had to make a note to get out of this madhouse pretty soon, or else he'd go stir-crazy. Sticking around with people was great and all, but this was just not good enough. Oh well. Cookies were calling, and after getting his munchies, Xigbar could think of what to do later.

Whatever it was, he was going to get something done. Last night was a fluke, and it was never, ever, ever happening again. Ever. He was Number Freaking Two, he was the go-to guy when something had to be done and was interesting enough to hold his attention! Which meant that if he didn't get something done soon, it'd be hard to keep calling himself a member of the Organization. And that just wasn't going to fly.

Xigbar sputtered and coughed out the water in his mouth, taking a moment to wring out his long ponytail before turning back to Skuld. He grinned, but this time, his grin wasn't nearly so playful. No, this was the smile he had when he was on the hunt, when he finally had a chance to really cut loose. So she had a glowy thingie and a hammer, so what? He was the freaking Freeshooter, the bigger the challenge, the more fun it was.

But then he heard two voices, and he turned to see them. And who could it be but none other than Tesiel Bonne, the man who'd been spreading such nasty rumors about him. Well well, this looked like payback time. Suddenly Xigbar's smile went back to normal, he chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. "'kay, back the way I came, then. But you'd better treat them the same way you treated me. Fair an' square."

Xigbar started walking back the way he came, slowly. Once the guardian's attention was shifted, he was bolting. ...or maybe he should just perch on the wall and watch Teisel get creamed via water blast. That'd be fun, too~!

Skuld smirked; good, he realized he was outmatched. The only thing she was forbidden to do was kill, after all...

Scarlet alerted her to the presence of two more opponents; hmm, two this time. No matter.

Well that was easy. Xigbar stopped and watched, seeing for himself the time dilation that he'd read about on the bulletin board. They were moving a lot faster than he was; the words kinda blurring together as they all moved around and such. Well, that was fine; he was used to time being a thing to be kneaded and moved around, and if Luxord could do it, then surely he could do a little bending of his own.

For now, however, he wanted to go before he got soaked again. Therefore he bolted, darting to the cafeteria door and slipping inside. Once there he could get dry... for now, though, it was a matter of getting out like a bandit.
