two flames ☆

[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.]

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?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Shhh. They're listening.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

... No one else is around.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

But moogles have eyes everywhere.

... You don't want to help them. You just want the discount, don't you?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Even on the Astral Plane?

... I'd help them, too!

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Yep.

Don't believe you~

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

What? Why not??

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

Because you're tight with money.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

... So? Why does that have to mean I wouldn't want to help?

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

'cause you'd just be thinking about discounts!

Anyway, don't worry your spiky little head about it.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Not all the time...

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

— Hey, what's that!?

1/2

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

What's—!?

2/3, I lied

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

...

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Axel!
