Winds Blown Differently

"You sound like you came from a military facility. Bah, I can't stand military-types. I don't mean you, just... every other single solitrary member of a military organization I've ever met in my travels has managed to draw my ire, as they couldn't stand to be polite and human when I was around. They were probably scared of me, honestly."

Alexei, in the kitchen, is making himself a sandwhich singing some song he didn't really know, "Shes juicy and she's trouble She gets it to me good My woman gives me power Goes right down to my blood...."

Skife went to the kitchen and inhaled the aroma of pasta. "Mmmm, reminds me of home..."

Alexei turns and heads for the table with is sandwich on a plate in one hand, and a glass of milk in the other. He begins singing a different song, "Another summer day, has come and gone away..."

Skife raised his eyebrow at Alexei. "Who are you exactly?"

<Meanwhile>

The car, a Lamborghini Michelago, pulled up in front of a large skyscraper, and a boy, similar to Skife in appearance, got out. "You can't hide Skife. I will find you." He leapt up the skyscraper, and spotted the House in the distance. "Found you." He got back in the car and drove top speed towards the House.

...Unfortunatetely for the mystery person, Rexial smashed into it from above, having jumped off the skyscraper.

Stopping it dead and probably causing hundreds of thousands of Munny in repair bills, the swordsman hopped off. "Er, ah... my bad." He actually seemed apologetic as he made a run for it. "That's a shame; it looked like such a nice car. I'd stick around and take responsibility, but I'd better get back, 'cuz I bet Vita's at the doorstep by now...!"

Namine regarded Athez with a kind smile, "Hello. You must be one of the new recruits. Were you the one who had Minato's feathers rustled? That's a terrible idea... He's a rather powerful individual and making him angry is a terrible idea."

Athez simply shrugged and smiles. "I normally like pushing people's buttons, helps me get a better reading on them."

"Yes, it's best to not do that to individuals like Minato. He restrained himself then but he may not be so kind in second meetings." Namine advised as she moved about the kitchen finishing up her dinner preparation. "Mind rounding everyone up for me? Dinner's ready."

Athez nodded quickly before dashing out the door. After a few seconds, he came back in with a sheepish look on his face as he rubbed the back of his head. "Uh... where would they be?"

Alexei, like the human juke box, broke out into The Who, "Whoooooooooooo are you? Who, who? Who, who?" He paused before continuing, "Alexei Petrov. The man of a million tunes!" with that he continued, "Whoooooooooooooooooo are you? Who, who? Who, who?"

Namine froze Alexei solid with the flick of a wrist, "Please stop with the constant singing... You're starting to give me a headache." She let the ice melt as she smiled at Athez, "I think Ven's in the living room. Just talk to him and he'll round up the others."

Saluting, Athez speeds out the door. Easily retracing his steps, he springs into the living room, flips into the air by vaulting off the back of the couch and lands facing Ventus. "I'm going to assume that you're Ventus. The woman making the pasta asked me to find you so that everyone could eat. Can you assist me in this endeavor?"

Skife continued his look. "OK... Nice to meet you Alexei, I'm Skife." He saw Alexei get frozen solid, and chuckled.

<Meanwhile>

The car simply reformed, the body of the car returning to its pristine form. The boy stuck his head out the window and said, "I would refrain from doing that again, as the reformation also comes with an electric shock next time." He then resumed driving towards the House.

Rexial slowed down his run, letting the vehicle catch up to him for a moment. "Huh, it certainly doesn't look smashed-up anymore. Whatever." He resumed his normal running speed, easily leaving the car far behind. "I'd find it suspicious, but I've got more important things to worry about than self-reforming cars."

The boy gave a look to the man who had just run by. "I have no idea who that was, but I get this feeling I'll be seeing him again soon.

Sora crashed back in through the window, instantly summoning Riku. "What the heck, Sora?! I just fixed that!"

Sora didn't get a chance to reply before Nowi entered the room. "I smell food," she said. "What's going on?"

"Dinner," replied Sora as Henry walked in.

"Oh, do we get to kill it ourselves?" Henry asked, sounding almost giddy.

Riku sighed. Looks like we got another weird one... "It's already cooked."

Alexei, slowly thawing, can be heard singing Ice, Ice Baby, though struggling to do so.

"Oh, I have the perfect solution!" said Henry, and pulled out yet another tome: Bolganone (Level 4 out of 5 Fire spell). He started chanting and the ice was instantly incinerated.

"Stop," said Sora. More than just a command, Alexei froze in place.

Skife just burst out laughing at Sora's actions.

<Meanwhile>

The car pulls up at the House, and the loud roar of its' engine can be heard inside the House

Minato groaned, "You've gotta be kidding... I'll be right back." Minato exited the House, the Corpse Rod slung over his shoulder. He walked up to the car and swung the club at its rear destroying the engine with a single swing.

Riku was equally displeased, but he was willing to ignore it...until it stopped, and there was a loud crash. "...Damn it..." He walked out to find the car broken and Minato standing beside it. "Really?! Really, Minato?! I know it was annoying, but you couldn't just ask him to turn the car off rather than breaking it? Really?!"

"He's been tracking someone from inside the house. I wasn't taking any chances." Minato responded, "So, you gonna get out and tell us who you are? Or am I going to have to tear apart your car to get answers?" He smirked cockily waiting for a response.

Riku summoned Soul Eater, prepared to attack anyone he needed to. If the guy in the car was a threat, then between him and Minato, the guy was gone. If he wasn't, and Minato attacked...Riku decided it was as good an excuse as any to start a fight with him.

Rexial stepped out of the front door, sighing. "Man, she got here when I wasn't looking... huh?" He looked at the car, which Minato had just wrecked. "...Didn't I see that same car in the city a while ago? A guy got out, showed off his ability to scale a building in a single bound, then jumped off and tried to drive away. I kinda landed on it when I jumped down because of poor timing on my part. Then it magically repaired itself."

Summoning the Dream Sword, he assumed a fighting stance, taking up a position to form a triangle with the other two. "...You're tellin' me that this guy's been up to no good? Well, I wish I'd known that earlier! He wouldn't be breathing right now if I had!"
