he nods, though - these are all good points, and looks even more thoughtful, frowning. ]
Hmmm. And I doubt, somehow, they'd have much useful to say. With no memory, I wonder if there's even any way to jog it - I'm no expert in such things. [ where's castti when you need her. ]
...I think it's very likely they're related, my dear Axel. We've got quite the mystery unraveling in our hands.
...In my experience, there's always a way to jog these sort of things. Forgotten names, places, things, even if they seem to suddenly kinda stop existing.
We'd just need something to 'trigger' that sort of thing.
[ Axel just says this like it's a normal thing, but hey in Kingdom Hearts memories being overwritten about people or places has happened. Even to him.
Like him forgetting Xion, and her forgetting about him and his friends. Only to recall those memories at a certain point. ]
You've got that right, though. Guess we have a lot of things to ask about or look into. Including the identity of this mysterious villain guy.
[ as axel talks about memories, temenos makes an understanding noise, though his gaze slides over to him for a moment, quietly studying, reading the underlying. so, it is something familiar. what does that mean, for axel, specifically? compared to castti? what sort of things has he been through?
... for now, he lets the curiosity spiral off into nothing. there are bigger problems. ]
Yes. Our mysterious 'man in white'. I'd like to ask Rabbit about this man's connection to the moon, to find out if there's any mythology behind it, but we've a long night ahead of us, and it's been a long day. For you, perhaps in particular.
[ this time, when he looks over at axel, it's more purposeful - gaze sweeping his outfit briefly, but also that he's checking him over. ]
...Was there anything else of note, in your adventure? Short of what you all got upon your return.
Though, when Temenos points out the fact about how it's been a long day, the red head moves to rub a hand sheepishly at the back of his neck. ]
...You can say that again. Maybe he's connected to the moon because he's some kind of lunatic. Rabbit also said we should be talking to the other leaders too, so I'll pick one at random at some point.
[ Anyway, when the other sweeps his gaze over at him, he blinks and looks down at himself before heaving a sigh, and shaking his head. ]
And I've got to get myself out of this clothing. Totally not my style, but it had something to do with avoiding getting brutally murdered.
Anyway, at the end when we agreed that it'd be great not to kill me because some guy said so, he made an appearance and whined about it. Though, I remember these...questions popping up in my head, y'know? They were:
'Do you believe in fate? Would you sacrifice another's life to save many more? Is it better to save lives in the moment and not worry about future complications, or focus on the bigger picture and save more people overall?'
...Then, when we answered he was like 'okay I'll accept it and maybe we'll meet in another life', seeming to be kinda okay with everything? It was weird. That's when it all came to an end too. Got it all memorized?
you ever just leave a tag open in a tab for an entire day
[ this pun. it's unfortunate that it makes him smirk, amused. ]
Mmm. I've met many a person associated with the moon who turned out to be lacking in mental faculties. [ sometimes there's a moon cult in your canon. it's fine. ] So, you may be onto something. As for other leaders, I find Snake to be quite enjoyable - we're rather similar, at least in some aspects. Or, I suppose Phoenix, should they still not be angry with us. Perhaps an olive branch.
[ he sounds just slightly judgy at the idea of phoenix being judgy but it's only a little.
after that though, he listens, raising an eyebrow at the outfit again (without having to say it: lol) but otherwise allowing him to continue. the bit about fate, and saving lives, and helping people... he looks a bit more thoughtful, letting those words wash over him. ]
Yes, I think so. [ the catchphrase: yeah, he's got it. ] What did you say?
[ Axel's already patting himself on the back for his punmeister success. Thank you, thank you, he'll do this all day.
...And, well. Considering Organization XIII centered around a heart-shaped moon? Axel believes it's more evidence to support these facts. ]
See? It's all gotta be related; not a coincidence at all.
Hmm...I don't think Crimson Phoenix's angry with us, because that one seems like there's a sense of humor about 'em, but I was thinking between him or someone else. I could go contact somebody neither of us have spoken to.
I'll let you guys know what I find out if I've got anything new when I decide.
[ Axel would be amused at the judginess (actually he is), thinking it to be not a drawback at all (endearing, if anything.)
Though, his cheeks color a little if Temenos is squinting when an eyebrow raise happens. But it fades soon enough. ]
I said, 'Nah, believing in fate is for losers,' then, 'Sacrificing another's life to save many more seems like it could be sus', and lastly, 'What's the point in not saving people at the moment and looking cool in doing it?'
[ ...
Axel saying this with a grin on his face, amusement in his eyes. He is apparently being himself again. ]
