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.]

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!

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[ZOOMS PAST]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Hey!!

[SPEEDS UP]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[LAUGHS]

Still as blond as ever, eh, Roxas?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

My hair color has nothing to do with this, carrot top.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Axel suddenly halts, board scraping against the ground with a loud noise. He holds one hand out... then summons a fireball and grins fiendishly back at Roxas in the same instant.]

What did you call me?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Carrot top! [But he's already zooming past, picking up as much speed as he can. THEY'RE ALMOST TO THE THEATER... CAN HE MAKE IT?]
