I can leave it with you once we're done. All it's good for right now is a camera-- ah!

[ AH??? he turns on the camera app swiftly, turning it to selfie mode. this is happening. ]

C'mere, I wanna do something.

[ axel, that's creepy. ]

[whitewalls]

Something...?

[ she has no clown danger, so she walks closer to him, not sure what he's doing. ]

[leaberator]

[ she was trained to believe clowns were the nicest possible evil

he has to like. fucking crouch to do this, because he is so Ridiculously Tall, and it also includes being pretty close to her, but he squeezes them both in on the screen, which she can clearly see is reflecting both of them, and-- ]

Alright, smile!

[ he takes a picture whether she was ready or not. ]

[whitewalls]

[ she was Not

but at least her expression is just more curious than stupid, so that's something ]

Was that just... a photo?

[leaberator]

Yep. That's pretty much the only thing this phone's good for right now unless you want a summary of Sora's adventures.

[ he shows her the finished picture of them both, which he Saves Forever, and then scrolls quickly through a few to get to one he took of himself with Roxas and Xion. They're all grinning, but he looks like he's about to cry. He has decided to not acknowledge that part ]

See?

[whitewalls]

[ oh

she didn't think he was lying about any of it, but actually seeing proof of the three of them together is... something. it makes her heart(?) ache, but it's a good ache. ]

You all look so happy.

[leaberator]

[ why does that embarrass him? it doesn't matter he is embarrassed ]

Yeah, well... It was a long time coming.

[ he is just going to. hand her the phone now, since he wants her to read it later ]

[whitewalls]

[ i'd say she pockets it but she doesn't have pockets

so she is just holding a phone now ]

... how are you doing, Axel?

[leaberator]

Well, before this, no one had tried to erase me in a couple of weeks, so... compared to the last time we saw each other, pretty good.

[ there's a wry smile because. yeah she would remember him as kind of uhhh high-key depressey? ha ha

also no one has said anything about murder of any kind, he just. assumes. it will end with that somehow. that is just how their life goes? he crosses his arms behind his neck in thought ]

Besides, with you here, that makes two of my favorite girls showing up, so even this place ain't that bad.

[ her asking how he's feeling embarrasses him but this shit doesn't because axel is a nightmare person ]

[whitewalls]

[ naminé thinks that since her competition includes larxene, this isn't that surprising to hear. does axel know a lot of girls? no. it's fine, definitely not a compliment

it still makes her smile regardless. ]

... I hope it doesn't get any worse.

[leaberator]

[ why you gotta call out kh on its lack of girls like that ]

Well, considering our track record and how it involves the darkness... We can prolly pull off "cautiously optimistic" at best?

[ he has no hopes ]

[whitewalls]

... the way they talked about it, it sounded both similar and not.

[ which makes her Unsure ]

[leaberator]

Yeah.

[ it was ... weird ]

It's not the darkness we know. If it was just that, they'd get a couple Keyblade wielders and have the whole thing done in a cinch. [ or, y'know, however long it usually takes sora. ] But it's affecting worlds in a similar way...

[ hm. ]

Maybe it's something closer to Riku's darkness? It's not necessarily bad, but it could be if we can't control it?

[ this is stupid ]

[whitewalls]

Maybe... they don't seem to know too much about it, but hopefully they'll learn more and share with us.

What do you think of them? I think we both spoke to the same one... Sol, right?

[ which seems like a mistake in retrospect but they didn't plan that out before approaching them ]

[leaberator]

Yeah. We should probably try and talk to Lune next chance we got.

[ how judgmental is he that their names are sun and moon? a lot. is he going to say that? no ]

I dunno. They could easily be lying about not knowing anything, but... I kinda wanna believe them.

[whitewalls]

[ they can't judge everyone in this damn series has theme names ]

... Sol asked to be my friend...

[leaberator]

[ axel is the only one who doesn't let him have this ]

They did, huh? Guess that means they must like you.

[ axel decides to not say out loud that that's cute ]

[whitewalls]

... even if they didn't mean it, it was nice.

[ all her friendships are pity ones ]

[leaberator]

[ wow their friendship was based on how sad they were, that's not pity, that's desperation ]

Don't sell the both of you short. They didn't strike me as the kind to say what they don't mean. [ though he can't be 100% sure, but. eh. ] Though what didja think of the whole "universe" explanation? I'm not sure what to make of that one.

[whitewalls]

It... sort of makes sense, if we think of universe as something else?

[ replace it with a more kh friendly term ]

[leaberator]

... What, like... Kingdom Hearts?

[ it's what he defaults to save him ]

[whitewalls]

Maybe?

[ he taps her chin thoughtfully. ]

I wish we knew more about whatever this core is.

[leaberator]

[ don't godmod me he's not tapping her chin :/

Lea sighs ]

I wish we knew more about anything. The only thing I feel like I learned is that we all got powers, for some reason.

[ which explains. why he still has fire but he's not acknowledging that blunder ]

[whitewalls]

[ ive been laughing at the mental image of axel tapping her chin for several minutes now ]

Mm. That makes more sense.

[leaberator]

Did you read that list?

[ because he did. after being called out on it. ]

There's the usual element stuff, sure, but the rest of it...

[ it was so weird ]
