[Axel looks rather puzzled. He's staring at a book in his hands, glasses on, and trying to read from it.

It's not going all that well.]

Kitten loafers making shoes. Kitten loafers making blue shoes. A mango screams for roadside service. I like fuzzy blankets.

[He pauses, then smiles sheepishly at no one in particular.]

Frying pan...

[ooc: Axel got hit with Octopese in Xellos' post. Translation: 'Fire is the oxidation of a combustible material. Fire is the oxidation of a combustible material releasing heat, light, and various reaction products such as carbon dioxide and water. Okay, this isn't working. It's kinda funny though.

What a prank...']

I thought something was missing!

Excuse me, you're on my xylophone.

[ "Good to know I'm one of the proud few."

Okay, that sounded ridiculous. She can't help laughing at herself. There's nothing sexy or seductive about telling someone they're on your xylophone. ]

[Exactly. Axel hears that and can't help but chuckle too. Then he raises an eyebrow.]

You make me want to sing bass, but I'm really more of a tuna.

["Do you really need a guy to tell you that?" ... Okay, that failed.]

[ Oh dear, now she has to dab at her eyes, she's laughing so hard. ]

Scuttlefish drama, rooty tooty fruity boot-- I sing in the shower?!

[ "Not really, but it's nice to hear now and th-- What the hell am I saying?!"

More laughter. At least it's an amusing experiment, if that's what's going on. ]

[Axel's resigned himself to it. Hopefully it's only temporary.]

Lemon zest lima bean barbecue.

["You're a poet and you didn't even know it."]

D: ::kicks it::

[ She smiles and combs her hair back behind her ears with her fingers, trying to stay composed. ]

The confined supernatural bicycles before the ruling welcome. Scooba diver pencils "cattle prod," imperfect chaos threads the charm.

[ "At least it's better than the stuff the centaur comes up with. Last time he sang about my 'snowy hills,' and not the ones back home." ]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Now THAT makes Axel laugh.]

There are numbers in my alphabet soup. Did you misplace an alien?

["Interesting choice of words. What's this about snow?"]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

Raccoons are eating my lunch. Please give me back my lumberjack.

[ "My kingdom is in the middle of a snowfield. You can probably guess what metaphor he was going for." ]

Rock and roll, sad little shrimp live in cupboards.

["Funny, me and the icy types don't usually get along."

He snaps his fingers, summoning a little flame to dance for him on his fingertip.]

[ She smirks, then closes her eyes momentarily. A creature that resembles a fiery lizard appears over her shoulder momentarily, and suddenly she's holing her own little fireball. ]

High-ho the misteltoe.

[ "I can do that, too." ]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[The other eyebrow goes up. He douses his own flame, then adjusts his glasses and looks away. It has the air of a pout.]

That bear ate my oatmeal.

["I don't cheat on my element."]

[ Now there's a little blue mermaid over her other shoulder, and she's holding a ball of water. She extinguishes the flame with it. ]

Fee fi fo fum, a kiss will wake the princess.

[ "It's not cheating, it's elemental magic."

Then there's a white flame hovering over her, and she's holding a ball of light. ]

Purple prose pantyhose.

[ "It's one of the things I'm good at." ]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

You're pretty good-looking for a frog.

["Oh yeah? What else are you good at?"

... Wonder if he'll get slapped for that one.]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

There's an apple pie in your pants. Semi-automatic muffin?

[ "Beating up perverts. Want me to show you?" ]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[SNRK. He waves his hand.]

Tie your own shoes.

["I think I'll pass this time."]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

Bumble bee wrappers. The lamp leans a little to the right.

[ "Maybe some other time. I'll try not to put you out too quickly." ]

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

-- Yowch.

[There doesn't need to be a translation for that.]

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ She just smiles triumphantly at that. ]
