Twitching, Xigbar came out. Seething. "I hate you. I reeeaaaally do." He shuddered. Now, he really just wanted to get the video game.

Oh, how tempting it was to refer one last time to the incident... Xemnas placed it away as immature, and schooled his expression to an instant blankness. "Personally, I wonder if that is mere denial..."
...probably, also, immature. He let the subject drop. "I fail to see how 'everyone' believes I need a new hobby, though. Is not a dedication to Kingdom Hearts, which, may I remind you, contains the key to regaining our own hearts occupation enough? We have not time for hobbies, Number Two."
Quite the contrary; they had far too much time; something they all knew too well.

"Xemnas, Xemnas, Xemnas. Each and every one of us has waay too much time on our hands, and you know it. YOU'RE in denial." Xigbar raised an eyebrow. Maybe he would stay here for a while, chatting to Xemnas.

"No, I'm not! Each and every one of you have time to do things to help our cause. The fact that months have passed with nothing to show is proof that none of you can cooperate..." He trailed off, then looked suddenly thoughtful. An inspiration came to him. A horrible, awful idea.
"What they need is to learn how to act as a team," he said, apparently having automatically dismissed Xigbar's presense. "And to do that... hm..."

Xigbar blinked. He REALLY wanted to hear this. What was he going to think of? Sort of like the mind of an insane tactician. Xigbar paid close attention to whatever words came out of Xemnas's mouth, anticipating and expecting the worst.

The world had vanished according to Xemnas. "...we could try team-building excersizes... but at this point, I doubt that would work. No, I need to bring them up to that level... if they could be forced to talk without threats, pranks, sneers, or insults, we may get somewhere..."
He trailed off, but it was quite enough to reveal that Xemnas had nothing good in store for his Organization.

Xigbar kept from laughing. But OH was it hard to do so. He simply thought of who would be partners with who. If anybody, he'd probably pick Demyx. Why? Xemnas would og with Saix. Duh. Xaldin has anger problems, Vexen's just... No, Lexaeus would probably team up with Zexion, Axel'd team up with Roxas, Luxord would lose because he'd gamble his way to defeat, Larxene is scary. Marluxia is... well, Xigbar thought he might 'swing the other way'... Yeah. He'd pretty much force Demyx to be his partner. But still. He couldn't imagine ANYBODY pairing up in any way. That would be very scary. Larxene and ANYBODY would lead to blood. Lots of blood. Then it would have to be called off. That would be awesome, but not for whoever was the poor sucker who would be her partner. Ah well.

"...so group therapy is in order..."
Xaskne poked him once, with no response, then tugged at Xemnas's cloak. The nobody blinked, then seemed to come back to where he was. "Oh, are you still here?" he asked Xigbar wearily. "Aren't you supposed to be out recruiting, collecting hearts, or finding something useful to do?"

Xigbar's jaw dropped. He didn't do anything else, only stood there, jaw dropped. THERAPY? He thought they needed THERAPY? Xigbar was NOT going to go to therapy. No way.

For a moment Xemnas regarded him, then scowled faintly. "Is there a reason you are imitating a fish, Xigbar?" he asked, a little sharper than before. The moment he referred to names meant either that he was in a good or bad mood... and knowing the emotions of Xemnas, the two were practically interchangable. "Or are you simply trying out expressions that match your intellectual capacity?"
Xigbar wasn't as stupid as Xemnas made him out to be; merely impulsive and rather trigger-happy... not to mention rather suicidal and careless.

"...THERAPY!?" was all he could choke out. Xigbar was NOT going to therapy. Or be dragged kicking and screaming. And teleporting.

"Of sorts, yes," Xemnas replied, and said no more on it. Of course he had a plan of action. "And yes, you will, Xigbar, if properly motivated..."

"Psssh. Like what?" Xigbar was now interested, though. He liked bribes. Though, this would probably not be a bribe...

"...I happen to know that a certain networked first-person shooter is scheduled for release in a month, and I also happen to have a copy of it. Unless, of course, you have no interest in Hollow Ground. I also happen to have Saïx on my side."
A few things could be said for Xemnas - he did keep an eye on how to bribe the Organization.

Xigbar narrowed his eye. He was considering it. "Throw in Dynasty Warriors five and another controller and you got a deal. Also, what'd you do to bribe Saix?" He blinked.
