The Man Once Named Axel

[aftertheflame]

[Just outside the House of Mouse, a man walked down the street. He woke up in an alley just moments ago, not sure how he got there. Or how he's even alive. Moments ago he helped Sora, unfortunately that took pretty much all his strength and energy. Needless to say he kinda sorta.... Well died. Consumed in darkness and that like.

As walked through the streets, it was quiet, not many people were around, but the Downtown area had a lot of lights on. He breathed in the air, he felt... Different somehow... A heartbeated in his throat, where was he? Was he near Sora, again? What was going on?

Pausing the man looked in the mirror, he touched his cheek where his tattoos once were. They were gone...

... Was he... Finally free from them now? Is it possible that he...? Looking down at himself, he noticed the same organization coat, shaking his head at the possibilities. Biting his lip, what did this all mean?!]

((NO SPOILERS PLEASE--I haven't played the game, this is just to see what could happen if I played him from the very beginning. So pretty much this is all headcanon for now. So please no spoilers.))

First time, here huh?

You'll see 'lotta mouse ears 'round here. Hey keep track of how many there are and you might get a bonus!

[skysmirror]

Yeah, but it looks nice.

Really? I'll have to keep an eye out then.

[Finally, all those recon missions will be put to good use.]

[aftertheflame]

[Opens the door to the House of Mouse for them both.]

I'm already up to 8 myself.

[Looks around.]

... Hm, Penguin waiters, that's new.

[skysmirror]

[She smiles her thanks as they go in.]

And I'll have to find them all for myself, right?

[She notices the waiters.]

Penguins?

[aftertheflame]

[Gives a smirk.]

Guess they got tired of the cold environment, huh?

[skysmirror]

I guess so.

[They are kind of cute.]

[aftertheflame]

Well let's hope they won't be put back on ice, huh?

[Pulls up a chair, hands her a menu.]

Hey look, they got some sea-salt after all. Looks like it's our lucky day, should we get it to go?

[skysmirror]

Right.

[She looks at the menu, eyes widening at how many different kinds of ice cream there are.]

That might be good, but there's a lot of others we could try, too.

[aftertheflame]

Hm?

[Glances up.]

What were you thinking about tryin'?

[skysmirror]

Royalberry looks good, or maybe Rockin' Crunch...

[She's actually looking pretty serious as she tries to decide.]

[aftertheflame]

Hey, tell you what.

I'll get the Rockin' Crunch, and you get the Royalberry, sound good?

Wrong icon, sorry!

[skysmirror]

[Good solution]

Then we can each try both of them?

<333

[aftertheflame]

Exactly!

Hey waiter, Rockin' Crunch and Royalberry ice cream! We're daring and wanna try new flavors.

[skysmirror]

[She's not sure whether to be amused or exasperated, but she looks more amused.]

I thought we're supposed to wait for them to come ask us what we want.

[aftertheflame]

[Waves his hand dismissively.]

I'd rather take my orders now then later.

[skysmirror]

[She sighs. Axel always had been impatient.]

I guess.

[At least the penguins seem to deal with it well.]

[aftertheflame]

[Pokes her on the nose.]

So what have you been up to lately?

Haven't been getting into trouble or anything, right?

[skysmirror]

[She wrinkles her nose when he pokes it.]

Just getting used to things here.

No, I haven't.

[aftertheflame]

Good to know.

Gives me less stress.

[And the penguins hand them their ice cream, he gives a nod Xion as he tries his Rockin' Crunch.]

[skysmirror]

[The ice cream serves as a sufficient distraction from responding to his comment. Xion tries her Royalberry and smiles.]

This is good, how's yours.

[aftertheflame]

Pretty good, pretty good.

[He leans back.]

Well since you're here, maybe Roxas might be hanging around somewhere...

[skysmirror]

Mind if I try? You can try some of mine.

[She smiles.]

I haven't seen him yet, but maybe he is.

[aftertheflame]

Sure.

[Reaches over to switch their ice creams.]

Mm, maybe he might show up then...

[Tries some of Xion's.]

Hey, pretty good, pretty good. How's mine?

[skysmirror]

It would be nice if he did.

[She accepts the ice cream with a smile, then tries it.]

It's good, though I think I like Royalberry better.

[aftertheflame]

[Snerks as he traded the ice creams back.]

Sounds like I made a good choice for us then, huh?
