[ ah, right. ]

That's... A bit complicated. [ he's not even sure where to start, partially because it involves a dlc we haven't got yet. ] I guess the short of it is Vexen remade her under the false pretenses of filling up the ranks of Xehanort's new Organization XIII?

[ he sounds exhausted just saying it ]

[whitewalls]

Vexen's on our side?

[ well that's (tsuru voice) surprising ]

[leaberator]

[ axel looks extremely pained to be saying this: ]

Apparently. [ turns out sometimes you brutally murder a guy and they switch sides because your ex asked nicely? but he doesn't want to talk about any of that ] Between him, Ienzo and-- get this, Ansem the Wise's research he left in Sora's heart-- they figured out a way to bring you guys back using replica bodies. They were working on yours last I heard, but...

[ but kairi was fucking dead. ]

But they hadn't finished yet.

[whitewalls]

I see...

[ so much has happened, wow

and she has no idea how to feel about any of it. ]

Did you save everyone who was lost?

[leaberator]

The lost Keyblade wielders, right... [ he looks a bit amused that she knows that but? of course? she does? ] I was training with the Keyblade alongside Kairi when they got Aqua and Ven back, so I missed that one, but they dragged Terra back about the same time Xion and Roxas showed up.

[ oh. wait. wait he hadn't meant to just casually drop that first bit-- ]

[whitewalls]

[ she would respond how great it is, that they managed to bring everyone back, except

yeah

there is something very surprising there. ]

You have a Keyblade?!

[ yOU CAN SOUND LESS SHOCKED ]

[leaberator]

--You could sound a little less surprised!

[ WHY IS EVERYONE LIKE THIS EVERY TIME?? ]

[whitewalls]

Oh, sorry-- I'm amazed.

[ wait that sounds bad too ]

I mean, that's so impressive, Axel.

[leaberator]

[ he droops a bit, dramatically putting a hand on his forehead ]

Alright, alright, I get it, it doesn't fit me. But I stubborned my way into one, and I'll be a Master before you know it.

[ he is sounding very fake right now so he just. sighs ]

They needed all the Keyblades they could get to fight off Xehanort, besides.

[whitewalls]

I wouldn't say it doesn't fit you. Just because something is unexpected doesn't mean it doesn't make sense.

You don't have it here though.

[leaberator]

[ he doesn't comment on the first part, because his weird issues with the Keyblade are his own thanks it's fine it's All Good ]

Nope. Couldn't summon that or the corridors, so it's like this place is just ... completely cut off. I've never seen a world like that before.

[whitewalls]

... do you think that if it was listed on the scroll, you'd have it? It is technically an item.

[ and instead he got a........... gummiphone? ]

[leaberator]

[ huh. hm. ]

... It'd make sense. Mary's got that book on hers, and both of ours were in the cabin. So, what, it's a one item only limit, and out of all of them, they picked a phone that doesn't work for me?

[ who the fuck is Mary, axel ]

[whitewalls]

[ who the fuck is mary, but she is going to focus on something else ]

What's a gummiphone?

[leaberator]

Oh, that. It's a phone those chipmunks from the King's world made. It can connect to anyone else who has one across the worlds. It doesn't work here, though...

[ he fishes around his pockets to show her, but once it's out he stares at it for a second ]

... It's also got a summary of events I prolly could've given you instead of giving us both a headache.

[ he forgot... because it was written by a cricket which he continues to refuse to accept as being real ]

[whitewalls]

Oh? You mean like Jiminy's journal?

[ apparently she knows the cricket so it's fine ]

[leaberator]

... Well, yeah ... he wrote it...

[ why was the cricket real ]

[whitewalls]

I'd like to read it then.

[ not like right now because it be awkward for him to stand there as she reads but ]

[leaberator]

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 ]
