[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.]

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 21:59:48 GMT

[Axel held out as long as he could - playing cards, reading, listening to everyone suffer on the spheres and letting their tortured screams keep him up. But Nobodies have to sleep eventually, even if not as often as humans.

When he wakes up, the room is dark, murky, the foul stench of decay assaulting his nose. He knows from watching everyone else that he's probably in for some good ol' psychological torture, and already has his chakrams out by the time a lone figure in a corner takes a step forward. The shadows keep his features hidden.

Not that it matters. It might've been a while, but Axel never forgets that silhouette.]

You're my nightmare? [Axel scoffs a little, disappointed yet also relieved when Saïx approaches. If this is the worst he has to deal with...] I guess this ship had to screw up some time.

[so he says, and yet he's not getting rid of his weapons either. In turn the other Nobody just stares passively, unimpressed with the show of bravado before speaking]

I am... nothing of the sort, Axel. [His cold eyes flick upward towards the ceiling, and immediately the room is filled with heavy cries and screams coming from every direction, every piece of furniture, every wall. So loud, drilling into his skull, that Axel instinctively winces and claps a free hand to his head.

Funny, how long it takes him to realize who the screams belong to. The gaze Saïx finally receives when Axel rights himself is one of wide-eyed blankness. His superior takes that has his cue to continue.]

He was reluctant at first. And yet... when you did not come for him, he seemed more willing to accept his fate.

[Saïx says no more. He doesn't need to - his cruel amusement and Riku's horrified screams for Axel to come get him do all the talking. Besides, Axel isn't giving him the chance. He lunges, face tight from anger, from the beginnings of hysteria, and fire starts to line trails along the floor. To his satisfaction the hit connects --

And then his face drains of color once he realizes this is far from an even fight. The blow bounces off as if Saïx were made of metal. The Nobody stares down at him like he's a bug before something large and heavy connects with his side and sends him flying to meet the wall.]

He was calling for you, Axel. He wonders why you never came back. [the screaming gets louder. Saix slowly approaches with his claymore, then picks Axel up by the collar like he's a ragdoll. The redhead isn't moving. There's a blankness devouring the hysterical anger in his eyes] Perhaps your misplaced emotions resulted in another lost life.

[That's the last straw Axel needs to become unhinged. He swipes, kicks, growling and screaming until Saix drops him. He's stopped caring that darkness is wisping from his mouth, or that body is shaking. That even on his best day Saix could crush his skull in. He attacks anyway]

SHUT UP. I SAID SHUT UP.

[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]

Wed, 27 May 2009 05:11:05 GMT

[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?

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 00:53:52 GMT

[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...]

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 03:15:42 GMT

[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.

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 01:56:25 GMT

..... 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?

2 -- o8

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 22:36:54 GMT

[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.

2 -- 7

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 04:02:54 GMT

[Axel is still thankfully male - a fact emphasized by the lack of shirt and flat chest - and seems to have made his happy home in Riku's shelter. It's not his room, but hey, no biggie. There's even a makeshift oven outside that he's just returned from, a plate of... something in his hands.

he's not sure what it is, either]

Heh, are we under invasion? [doesn't bother looking at the sphere, instead going to place his food down inside the shelter] I'm starting to lose track of the new kids.

We can start a colony at this rate.

2 -- 6

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 00:30:31 GMT

... How about we pretend last week didn't happen? [his inhibitions are back, for the most part, and Axel's strained expression is hint enough that he regrets some of the things he spilled or did.]

And-- [pauses, looking at the conversations on his sphere in slight surprise and amusement, head cocking to the side while his eyebrows bunch together. because what he's seeing can't be -- the hell is going on?]

Did some of you guys lose something? [eyes flicker elsewhere. now his eyebrows shoot up] And I see a few ladies... gained a pair.

This better not be contagious.

[ooc: Axel's gonna be staying male for now, as he wishes to laugh at you all]

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 05:01:41 GMT

[thank god for some sun. Axel has his shirt off, tucked loosely over his shoulder while he strolls along an unseen path, through not due to of a lack of inhibitions. It's a nice day out; like he's gonna let this go to waste.]

Heh. This reminds me of the world my Somebody came from.

Not as pink, but I'm not complaining. [grins at the sky. oh, what a nice day!]

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 04:35:42 GMT

[what time is it, Crucible kiddies? It's time for Grampa Axel to pass on his infinite knowledge to the younger generation. the crash done nothing but break and bruise a rib here and there, but exploration and curiosity have ended up with him in the field of flowers, twin by his side with a disgustingly smug expression while Axel twitches]

Try to avoid taking a stroll through grandma's forest, kids. [jabs a thumb at the trees looming behind them] It doesn't like visitors.

2 -- o3

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:50:46 GMT

Anyone recognize the planet?

[a simple question; he's been staring out of his porthole every now and again, looking a mixture of interested and calm neutrality.]

2 -- o2

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:48:32 GMT

[Axel's given up on keeping himself stationary. at times he managed to plant himself feet-first... on the ceiling, but with nothing to really hold him in place he starts floating around the room again with a sour look on his face.

screwed up pictures he could deal with. lack of gravity? not so much]

Any bets on how long this will last?

2 -- o1

Sat, 27 Dec 2008 01:00:56 GMT

[there's a familiar face on the network again. Axel's finally decided to grace everyone with his presence now that his patented 'Oh goodie I'm still alive' shock is done and finished. Not that he's gonna say much. some of the passengers will be happy to notice he's being thankfully quiet for the most part. and nothing's really changed in his room except that orange suit is being left untouched, draped casually over his chair. someone's learned their lesson about fire safety.

as for his sphere... it's in the shape of a cartoon flame, and it's grinning at its master. Axel gives a good-natured roll of his eyes]

Tacky, cute, and a little bit gay. [arches his eyebrows] Trying to say something?

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 03:09:30 GMT

[Stealing? Heh, Axel has been accused of much worse. Which is probably why he pays no heed to the bots currently ordering him to give himself up on the Fifteenth Level. There's a bag of last-minute items he felt like picking up, thrown over his shoulder -- if he hadn't been giving the bots ammo before, they've certainly have their proof now.

There's one last warning before Axel ducks himself behind a corner. They bots intend to follow but... end up exploding instead. Whoops.

He can't help but look a little smug when he walks back out into the hallway, idly kicking robot parts out of his way.

And then of course, two minutes later, ten or so more bots come rushing up from behind. If they were able to form expressions, no doubt they wouldn't look very happy. At least experience has given Axel the sense to double time it.]

Theft, huh? Right. Because the bots were gonna eat the food.

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 23:19:27 GMT

Needing a chair to reach everything is getting a little old. Just a little.

... Who's fleeing the Economy levels? [there's an odd expression of seriousness on his child face, and Axel rubs the back of his neck]

o17

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 21:39:27 GMT

[Axel has been taken back to Riku's room with clothes, courtesy of Asher, and has had his fill of delicious ham, cheese, and pickle sammiches. This place is still really weird and kinda stupid, but at least some of the dumb adults are kinda cool. And there are plenty of new friends for him to play with, too! Especially Zexion.

He's never had a bestest best friend before, so he should do something special for him, right? It makes sense. And a picture is pretty cool. He thinks he's a good artist too.

So the sphere watches the child draw his masterpiece, paper scattered all over him as he draws his rendition of Zexion and him playing hide-and-seek. There's also a picture of meanie Riku with long, long fingers that are trying to tickle him, one of a ugly girl making weird faces, one of a really tall adult with his hair over part of his face, one of a old guy with wisps of squiggly lines coming off him - yes he smells - and a variety of other pictures.

Just... pay no attention to the fact they're written on Riku's notes]

Zex! Zex! [holds up the picture proudly] Look!

o16

Sat, 06 Dec 2008 06:02:19 GMT

[In the middle of the hallway, there's a large bundle of clothes sitting with no owner in sight. It takes a while for the sphere to realize it's owner is no longer there, and when it searches for him, all it finds is a small, naked, pale, skinny child with a head-full of outrageously red hair who is taking in his surroundings.

The indignation in his eyes when he turns around could burn down buildings. Obviously, he does not look pleased]

... Where am I!? It's coooooooooooooooooooooooold!! [as if to emphasize this fact, tiny!Axel wraps his arms around himself and frowns mightily, giving a good shiver for effect]

And why did someone steal my clothes? I can't fit those!! They're stupid adult clothes!

[he has yet to realize he's being watched, more focused on stomping his way down the hall, giving the pile of clothes a good kick as his grumpiness escalates.]

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 21:39:53 GMT

I'd be impressed with the captain's time bending skills if we didn't have a bunch of ankle biters everywhere.

Just FYI. I'm not playing babysitter.

o14 [Filtered to Kairi]

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 05:05:59 GMT

Hey.

Kairi, right?

I need you for something.

o13

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 05:29:52 GMT

[Axel is in Riku's kitchen.

Making grilled cheese.

That's right.

Grilled cheese.

You can keep your damn turkeys, Crucible. Axel's not interested.]

o12

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:14:32 GMT

[despite all the explosions and freezing cold he's lived through, Axel looks pretty chill. He's been moved to a different room, one of the Kepler ones, and is lounging on the bed with a new set of clothes on. Leg is still broken, but hey, he's about to take care of that]

Riku. We had a deal. [yeah, get your ass over here, kid]

And any bets on the next Organization member to show up? I've got my money on Xigbar.

[purposely says nothing about the captain's announcement, thooough he'll be talking to a few people about it]
