two flames ☆

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Here is a crazy redhead casually leaning against an odd-looking light pole, dressed in his checkered default. The pole is curvy and purply-pink and crooked like everything else in Hollow Bastion and sticks out sorely compared to the rest of the Plane. Axel, too, but that's readily obvious.

He doesn't seem to care, though-- could be waiting for someone, actually. A black and white skateboard rests beneath his arm, while one painted with flames rolls gently back and forth beneath a boot. As if this isn't boring enough, he's humming something.]

Hah! You wish it was only a sixteenth of an inch. [He smirks, and tests the whole board out with one foot. Then, he kicks off and slowly circles around Axel, proving the whole balance thing a non-issue.]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Still not tall enough. [He crosses his arms as Roxas circles him.] So, where do you want to head first?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Maybe not for a giant like you. [Continues his circular motion.] Here, you mean?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

That's jolly red giant to you.

Yeah, here. There's a lot to see, right? Anywhere except the bar since you're awful familiar with it.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Jolly? How about "juvenile"?

... I thought we weren't going to talk about that!

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

How about... awesome?

[He smiles like kerosene.] It's our little secret.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

That doesn't start with a J.

[Crosses his arms and huffs.] It was an accident.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

'Just Awesome' then.

[Pfft.] Uh huh. You slipped and fell into a hangover.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Or "Just Annoying".

Accidentally.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Keep talking like that and you can forget about ice cream afterward.

... Totally believable.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Ice cream?

... Hey!

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Sea salt, too.

[He stomps down on the end of his board, flips it and catches it.]

Well?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Where'd you get any?

[Still doing some lazy circles and stuff nearby.] Don't change the subject!

Uh... We can go this way, while we talk? [General direction of the forest get?]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

A moogle owes me a favor. [Not really, but Axel likes to keep /some/ secrets.

He sets the board on the ground and ... decides to follow! Slowly, 'cause he knows how easy it is to fall off.]

Alright, this way.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

For what?

[Roxas keeps his own speed fairly slow so Axel doesn't try to keep up and fall off in the process or... something.]

What all do you think is here, anyway?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

None of your business~

[Axel is grateful, really.]

Well, there's a theater... an arena... uh... lots of stuff. It's like a miniature city.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

C'mon, Axel...

[He flipkicks the board under his feet a few times, then looks back over.]

A theater?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

It's a long story.

[Damn showoff.]

Yep. It's got a nice view, too.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

We've got time.

[You know it.]

How nice of a view?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

The moogles don't like having their secrets divulged to the public.

-- Pretty nice.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

It's just me, Axel.

... Maybe we should head down that way, instead.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

But if you knew where to itch a pom-pom, every time you wanted to get a discount on the synthesis shop you'd use it.

Fine with me~

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

You've gotten discounts!?

[He switches directions, but is still looking at you VERY EXPECTANTLY, AXEL.]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

I didn't say that.

[Bastard smile is go.]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

... What?
