[Axel appears on the Plane, and he's not alone! He's got a certain annoyed blonde captured in the crook of his elbow, as if dragging him away from a fight. In fact, they're both showered lightly in sticky rice and sporting a few scratches and bruises. Also some vaguely Chinese clothing.] Hey, chill out!

Chill out? He hit me first! He had it coming! [Said annoyed blonde attempts to wriggle out of the red-head's grasp.] C'mon, Axelll...!

[His grip is firm.] Do you want to get kicked out of the Imperial Forces before we can even join? We're doing it for the chi—er, Ping. Besides, if we're on our best behavior, we'll get to blow up some Heartless.

[Roxas takes a moment to digest all that, giving another squirm, if only for the heck of it.] That's... a good point. But then they'll think it's okay! The soldiers, I mean. ... to pick on us—or, worse, Ping!

[He's not letting go just yet.] Ping can handle himself. He's got that annoying lizard, remember? Besides, the captain will keep 'em in line.

Yeah, but... We still promised to help.

And we will, promise. That doesn't mean you have to get your arm broken for it.

... speaking of which? [He wriggles one more time, pointedly.]

[Axel sighs dramatically and lets go.]

[Yeahhhhhh.]

[Nods a little.] You... you too. Uh... [Social skills, Tsukasa, social skills! Quick, think of a question!]

What's your world like?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

You mean the one I come from, or the one we're visiting now?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

... You've been to more than one? I've just been to the one I was born in. ... And The World, but... that's a game.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. Tons of them. ... What do you mean, it's a game?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

It's a computer game. People play it for fun, usually. With computer screens and headsets and controllers. ... Except for me, who's stuck there.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

You're... stuck in a computer game?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

[He nods slowly.]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Can I ask how that happened?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

... I'm not entirely sure. I just remember... suddenly being in pain, and then I could feel everything that happened to me there.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Have you been looking for a way out?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

[Gives him a 'well duh' look.]

Yeah.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[Well, ya never know.]

Any luck?

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

A little. I'm still stuck there, though. But I think we're on the right track.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Good. That's good news. And... I know we're not from the same world or anything, but if there's anything I could do to help... [Shrug. They may not know each other all that well/at all, but Roxas is something of a bleeding heart anyway.]

[Shounen hero for the win, I guess. xD]

... Thanks.
