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 ]

[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 ]
