⇒ Call Me The Eight Of Hearts ♥

[he's got nothing to say about regaining memories of the black hole. He figures everyone's gonna yap enough for the entire three months, so might as well graciously hold back his commentary for now.

Sadly, it looks like his thought bubble hasn't gotten the memo yet. Any of them. One has a rather cartoony version of a black hole swirling in it, another one has the dear captain on fire, and the last has a smiling Riku.

You can bet your ass the sphere would be off if Axel had realized their existences yet. Instead he'll just chill on the bed, staring passively at the ceiling in boredom while he tries to get his uh, thoughts together.]

( tl;dr: now with KH guest appearance! )

[For a thief, Axel is lookin' pretty fly in that outfit of his. But he's not in the mood to appreciate it. In fact, he's perched on a tree branch, looking something close to murderous as he's found that the costume took a lot more than his ability to warp.

Guess who can't burn shit anymore?

And the worst part is he's so lost he doesn't know how to get back to the actual ship.]

Just had to pick up the dagger, didn't I? [sulking sulking sulking]

[Axel's already in the red forest, whistling absent-mindedly and picking whatever has the misfortune of being in his path. He's enjoying the nature hike for the most part, though sphere catches him shooting amused looks at the statues. Because those things aren't creepy at all. No sir.]

Nice color, but grandma's forest needs to work on the decor.

[it barely registers to him that he's walking over to one - a strange elf-like creature with long, curling horns - and snatching the weapon it was holding out of its hand; a dagger. He's already back on the path by the time he realizes he's twirling the wooden carving in his hand, and by then he doesn't feel like tossing it over his shoulder]

Tell me again why we didn't follow Orion?

[similar to his twin, Axel isn't feeling up to searching the stars. And warm as the Egyptian sun is, Axel doesn't care for the noisy locals.

But he's got to make sure a stupid boytoy friend is eating properly. Hence why he's in the dome now, some small package slung over his shoulder while he looks for everyone's favorite silver-haired bookworm]

No luck, huh? [as if he really cares] I'd help but... everyone's doing such a good job without my assistance.

Maybe you gu-- h-hey... Uh what the-- [who knows what Axel was about to say? he's currently being ... engaged by a pair of busty young twins, both of them circling around the Nobody with full smiles and teasing pushes. He's a little too surprised to push them off at the moment. check back later.

Huh. they really do look familiar though...]

[oh yeah, Axel was upset at first. Being suddenly caught in this? Not exactly his idea of a good time.

But seeing as the rest of the ship is also suffering, might as well enjoy the show and strut stuff. Thus Axel looks eerily calm - maybe even pleased - as he watches the fun unfold. Oh the fun he shall have]

How's it going, Crucible?

I hope you're all feeling fabulous today.

[Axel has chosen to stay away from the ship after his first guess. He's already noticed how some people are no longer returning from the ship, and isn't about to take chances... not that it'll matter soon.

It's restlessness that makes him leave the shelter, dodging more pieces of the land being swallowed up by the blackness. and when he looks up at the black hole eating up part of the sky, a wry grin flashes on his face.]

I gotta wonder... [trails off and sighs]

If I'll actually die this time.

..... Soooooooooo.....

Battle Royale?

I'll be referee.

[sorry kids; he finds this slightly amusing]

[just... STARES at the sphere like everyone's sprouted wings, funny as that would be. no, he hasn't been subjected to the mass paranoia of shadows and noises - yet -... but regardless, Axel seems very edgy -- for him, anyway. there's a dark expression on his face, like he might set something on fire soon]

And here I thought most of you were sane. The hell is wrong with all you kids?

[after Sora's announcement about Kairi, Axel had carefully hid himself away from the public eye unless on business. Hearing that another person he might've sorta cared about is gone - Roxas - just reinforces his desire to avoid people. Regardless, he's letting the sphere play now, knowing damn well it's catching his flat expression staring out a window of Riku's shelter.

Maybe he feels like sharing his low mood with everyone today. Who knows?]

And he turns tail the moment things are better between us. [an almost humored chuckle, short and brittle] Figures.
