Castle Oblivion
When she'd parted from Xaldin it had been with the intent to confirm the locations of the other Nobodies herself. Not a lie, that statement. She would head out after them as soon as she confirmed the status of Castle Oblivion.
Herself.
It wasn't a good place for lessers.
The paths let out on the grassy fields before the Castle, giving her plenty of time to take in it's undamaged and attainable state. She wasn't sure she approved, given the status of The World That Never Was. If there was to be such an upset amongst the Organization it should have effected all the members in her mind...
...but then, Marluxia was rather good at avoiding discomfort.
The silvery doors slid open with a sigh as she approached, and that hair raising, syrupy feel of Castle Oblivion slid through her mind as she crossed the threshold...but all was normal. Not a light flickered, the walls were whole and uncracked, hardship hadn't touched this hold at all.
Marluxia wasn't in the garden, but the dining hall with his customary feast. She'd never understood why he insisted on three times daily eating, they were Nobodies, but everyone had their quirks. She'd never understand the glass of champagne he always insisted on either, though she joined him when ordered.
His customary glass was dangling from his fingers when she entered; his poses were always graceful. "I haven't been able to reach you, XII"
"No" she agreed casually, knowing the news she brought would cause a stir "The World That Never Was is no longer accessible. And Twilight Town has fallen." Best he found out first through her, else she'd suffer for the delay.
"...repeat that, XII."
"Twilight Town has fallen. The World That Never Was is no longer accessible. Most of the Organization was shunted to other worlds at the time of the fall. We are regrouping."
"I...see. And Xemnas?" he asked, the glass twirling gently in his fingers.
"Unaccounted for, assumed locked within The World That Never Was."
"Perfect" he sighed, setting the glass down as he rose to stalk around the table. "That is perfect."
"Sir?" she was still reeling from the displacement, and the reports...she didn't see how it could be 'beneficial' to lose their world.
"Oh child, now you can observe them outside I's influence. See who chafes, who thinks now that the supreme power is...absent. I expect progress in your secondary mission will grow exponentially now."
"I...see." she sighed, letting the trained, cold smile cross her lips as she took a glass of champagne. "An excellent opportunity." and if he was shifting her focus to group observation, he wouldn't expect reports on Roxas.
"I'll expect reports, of course." he chuckled reaching out to tug on her hair gently. "We wouldn't want to have to resort to...reminders...again. Do send me your address when you've settled with the group?"
"Due to the spread of members now, it may be impossible to have full observation and accurate reporting schedules." she stated, tipping back her glass and ignoring the tug on her hair "But you will receive a location when we've established a new secure area."
"Ah, well, a man can't have everything. Report as you can..." he laughed again "...within reason."
"Yes sir."
