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.]

Well I'd like to think it wouldn't.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Better keep your guard up! Still keeping stuff written or what? [Yes, that is a poke at what timeline's this Roxas from.]

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[It might not avail Axel much though, with Roxas' habits]

Until I showed up here, anyhow. Don't think it came along with me.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Huh.

[Axel folds his arms and leans against the wall.]

All right, guess this won't go much anywhere. When was the... last time you saw me?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

Well...just before I got here, but you're probably not the same.

Back home, last time was...

[Sad, sad silence]

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

...[Axel's not liking that sadfaising, Roxas.]

Was what?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

I don't know how to say it.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Hm. Well Axel has a hunch, if he got his job done right. But just to be sure...]

Did you... merge with Sora?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

A while back, we got separated though.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Ah well, he was right, then. At least he knew he'd Faded for a good cause. Or some shit like that.]

How'd that work out?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

It was alright, as long as Sora wasn't too far away. He didn't feel so good if we stayed apart too much.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

....Sounds complicated. Guess you met the rest of the gang, then?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

A few times over, at least.

[And not just met, but Roxas squeaks by since Riku wasn't directly mentioned]

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Sneaky, sneaky Roxas. Axel won't be pleased at you hiding your bf from him, young man. For now, though, he'll just lean back and scratch his head.]

Alright. You hungry or something? Don't think they have seasalt icecream, but hey we can make do, right?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[He perks right up]

I think this place has a cafeteria, but I haven't found it so far.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

That? I was in earlier. Seems like those hotdogs sell out quick.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

...Dogs?

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Yeah... Wait, you never had one, have you?

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

I don't know what it is.

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

It's... a hotdog.

[Yeah, that was informative, Axel. So..]

Tell you what, I'll get you one to celebrate.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

[That warrants a quizzical tip of the head]

Celebrate what?

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

[Having his friend back. After nearly killing himself. Axel shrugs.]

First day of Garden living.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

Guess that works as much as anything else does.

Why's it called a Garden, anyway?

[carmineblight.livejournal.com]

Because they raise flowers.

[limitboost.livejournal.com]

Really, a place this big?
