[Axel drags Roxas onto the Plane. Something seems to be different about the two. Most notably, Axel is wearing an apron.] Wait here, okay? I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere. [He darts off to find some thing, evidently in a hurry. Some might recognize it as "The Daddy Rush," the frenzy that overcomes parents and/or babysitters when their charge has made a mess of things.]

[ Roxas, for his part, is lacking his usual vest and has just a black tank-top on instead. He reaches out after Axel, presumably trying to grab his sleeve, but the redhead's already gone. The blank expression he has slowly transforms into confusion, and he wraps his arms around himself to ward off the slight cold of the Plane before looking around his new environment. ]

... Axel?

(ooc: Firstly: not really a joint post, despite appearances.
Secondly: experiment start! Roxas has suffered complete and total amnesia; the kind that makes you forget really, really basic stuff like in that new Kingdom Hearts game, amirite. Right now, he's very much like a duckling and is v. v. impressionable. He probably won't say much unless prodded, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't poke at him. ♥)

[Naminé only appears on the Plane in time to see Roxas on his own, and that dazed look is enough to make her instantly worried. By the time she's at his side, worried is now an understatement.]

Roxas?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ He looks over to her, since by now he recognizes his name, but unfamiliar person plus a lack of anything constructive in the sentence leads him to simply stare. ]

[breathenothing.livejournal.com]

[She stares back for a moment, head tilting to one side, trying to figure out what's going on...]

Roxas, are you alright?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

...You alright?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ His own head tilts with Naminé's. ]

... Axel?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Blink. Blink. ... stare. ]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Blink. Blink. ... stare.]

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Staaaaaare... Blink. ]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Uhm?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Slight change in expression, but he still doesn't say anything. ]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

I guess that's a no...

[breathenothing.livejournal.com]

Axel? ... He's not here. At least, I don't think he is.

[She looks around. She wishes he was here... Her focus returns to Roxas.]

What's wrong?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ He seems to pick up on that. ]

No?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

He said...

[ Roxas stares at her a bit more. ] ... "wrong"?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Uh....Do you understand anything I'm saying?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ He hesitates, mostly staring for a while. Then his looks turns back to confusion, and he tilts his head. ]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Guess not.

uhm

[Mia would do better than him here.]

I'm Isaac. [he points to himself as he says this] Isaac.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, he knows that. Names. Those are one of the few things he does get. ] ... Isaac.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Uh. This [Spreads his arms out and gestures all around him] This is the Astral Plane.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ k you lost him. He looks around when Isaac gestures, but simply looks back when he doesn't see anything. By now, he's slowly started to rub his arms to try and warm them, yet seems oblivious to it happening. ]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Uh...are you cold?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Takes a moment to process... ] What's "cold"?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Uh...[Oh shit how do you explain COLD?] It's like...your skin gets bumpy and you start shivering. You're rubbing your arms to warm up without thinking about it, see?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ He looks down at his arms, and the rubbing motions slowly stop. ]

... That's cold?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It can get really strong, and it's really uncomfortable.
