I. let the flames begin

[Sup! New not-kid on the block!

Axel's walking back from a little recon trip to get his class schedule. You can probably see he's none too thrilled about it, either, but hey, information's information, right? Or not. Because Axel's crumpling that little note in his hand and after a brief dip into his pocket, the next time he opens it, there's nothing but ash. Don't worry, he's got it memorized.  Keywords relevant.]

Never thought I'd have to go through this again.

[Anyone who wants to run into him, he'll just be on the lesser-used paths leading to the Dormitory. In his leather Organization-issue coat.]

Hi! You're new right? I'm Miku!

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Axel pauses and turns to look at her. He hadn't expected to run into anyone, here.]

Pretty much, yeah. Name's Axel.

[vocavoice.livejournal.com]

Aah- Welcome to Balamb Garden then! You'll really like it here!

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Not really a handshake kinna guy, our Axel, but hey. He shakes that hand like a good boy, one eyebrow raised and privately evaluating if he can learn much from Miku.]

Haven't seen much of it yet. You been here long?

[vocavoice.livejournal.com]

Not very long, actually. A week and a half? But this place is already like my home! What classes are you taking, Axel?

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

That long, huh? I've been kicking around a few days, myself. [Axel can see that, so she gets a bit of a smile.]

This and that. Usual stuff.

[vocavoice.livejournal.com]

But I don't think it's usual stuff at all! Someone said that reading and writing classes are what normal schools have. But here there are classes on fighting and magic!

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Usual Cadet stuff, Greenie. [He gives those pigtails a small tug. Being tall has perks.]

That color natural?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[Roxas on the other hand is leaving his dorm, since apparently there's classes he's supposed to take. Which and where they are? That's the mystery, but he's hoping he'll be able to figure it out as he goes.

If only he wasn't pausing to gawk every two seconds like some kind of tourist, anyhow. During one such distraction, he walks right into Axel's back and lets out a startled little sound]

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Roxas, meet Axel's back. Axel's back is an immovable object. Only sometimes. Axel is a bit startled at the contact, so he blinks and turns around.]

Hey, watch the good-

[And aw, snap, brain break.]

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[For his part Roxas backs up a half-step, tipping his head back to look up at...]

Axel?

[He's apparently caught between being surprised and being pleased, because he hadn't counted on seeing his best friend again]

When'd you get here?

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Brain booting back up, slowly, slowly. Not everyday you see your best friend-who-got-absorbed. Not to mention who was pretty much trying to KO you, last you met. He's not sure what face to put on for you, Roxas.]

... Not too long ago.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[Roxas on the other hand seems quite comfortable around Axel, though he's aware timelines might not make it mutual]

Same as me then, sounds like.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

... Yeah?

[Well that's weird. Axel decides that so long as he's not screaming at him again, he'll be cool with it.]

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[He nods once]

Yep, just this morning. Still kinda confused, but that's alright.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Hey, so long as you're not back to being a zombie on me.

[head-is-where.livejournal.com]

[Celty walks back from the parking lot where she stowed her horse motorcycle and spots someone else wearing all black garb!]

...!

[And he looks like he has a really spiky helmet! Perhaps he is a Dullahan like me! She rushes over, interest peaking, and taps him on the shoulder expectantly.]

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Whut, headless biker! Axel will just be blinking and turning around at that tap.He has no clue what a Dullahan is, but hey, he hasn't seen your lack of head, yet.]

...Yeah?

[head-is-where.livejournal.com]

[Oh. He can talk. ...And his voice is kind of nasally, too. What absolutely crazy looking hair, it's no wonder she made a mistake. Types into her cellphone and pushes it at him despondently]

"Sorry, mistaken identity..."

[...Awkward.]

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Mistaken identity's pretty familiar to his canon, so it's cool. And wait, what's this thing she's shoving at him? Careful, he might break it. There have been no signs of cellphones in KH. So he'll be taking that phone and looking at it. Oh. Words.]

You can't talk?

ignore my threadcrashing, I will go away after this. 8D

[maskingtruth.livejournal.com]

[ Standing a good distance away, Shinra's hiding just around a corner, peering at them intently. B( Who is that skeevy guy talking to his Celty?

He knows she can take care of himself. He knows. But. She didn't used to go out and socialize like this. What if she.... starts getting interested in someone? ]

ooc!

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Ff, you're welcome to join in. Axel'd like some friends. Passersby. Mistaken Interest Rivals?]

[head-is-where.livejournal.com]

[...WHAT? Oh, bitch, I know you didn't just take my phone!]

...!

[Her voice having been stolen, her hand twitches as she tries to reach up to take her phone back. He better not do that keep-away BS, or he should expect a few key blows to his solar-plexus. ...Assuming he has those.]

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Axel'd argue you shoved it at him, but don't get so worked up- he'll be more likely to play with you.]

Gueeeessing that's a 'yes'. What is this thing, though?

[head-is-where.livejournal.com]

[Hedgehog head, why are you so tall? She jumps a bit trying to get it away from him.]

...

[Don't make me use my shadows against you, you heartless nobody.]
