[open]

Just a simple question: when you go into one of those sleep episodes around here, do you dream at all? [Or maybe it's just him.]

[filtered to Demyx and Lea]

Hey, so, Roxas asked if I could room in with him and all, so I figured I'd let you know that I'm gonna go ahead and take him up on that. Should leave you guys some room back in the house, so. You know. If you need me I'll be packing up some things for a bit in my room.

[Having been out of commission for a little while, Axel doesn't know about the drama that's been happening in the dome, so he's just talking and acting as casually as he can until someone informs him of what's gone amiss.]

...You'll still be around to visit, yeah?

Yeah...here and there. [Pause] Roxas is all by himself, so.

I know. ...He could really use his best friend after that curse, I think. I know I needed mine the first time I went through that.

Mm. It was a weird curse. [And one he's thankful that he didn't have to go through, actually. He...doesn't want to feel human, especially because those feelings would be coming from a heart that isn't his own.]

What happened to you anyway? Anything terrible?

Terrible? Heck, I had fun this time around. _{[He digs through his SFC before he finally sends a picture of himself"> from the curse.]}

I tell you though, I never did get used to the sharp teeth.

Oh. Well, would you lookit that. [He stares at the photo for a moment before he responds.] Even had sharp teeth, huh. Wonder how fun that made talking.

Eh, I bit my tongue a couple times with it but I figured out how to keep from turning my mouth even more purple. Eating was a huge pain though so I just ended up nibbling things. _{[A beat.]} What about you? Anything weird?

No. I was...asleep through most of it, actually. What, you didn't know that? [He says it almost jokingly, because they live in the same house and all, so he would think that Demyx would be the first to know about him falling into a coma.]

I've been out of the house a lot. Some things happened and I went to stay with Faris for awhile. He was keeping me calm through the whole ordeal and I didn't really wanna bug you or Lea with hearing me freak out. ...Actually, I haven't even seen Lea in awhile.

You haven't? [Well, that's odd.] Come to think of it, I missed the wedding, didn't I?

It... sorta got called off or something. There was a no-show--probably cold feet or something is my guess.

[Huh. That's odd. And vague.] Doesn't sound like him to not show. He was all hyped, too.

Don't tell me you guys got in a fight or something.

Whoa, whoa, if there was a fight I sure as heck didn't know about it! I-I didn't even see him around at all during the curse week! I looked for him, but I couldn't find him anywhere.

[...Wait.] So he's missing?

I don't recall dreaming during the one I was forced into some months ago.

Maybe you did, but you just forgot. Wouldn't you say that's possible?

Yes. That could be possible. Do you think the dreams might be of any importance?

[If so, it might behove him to attempt to recall any possible such dreams, considering he had been sleeping for around two months, he'd been told.]

They might. [Considering that odd time a while back when Vatheon changed and people's dreams had been broadcasted, he has reason to believe that a person's dreams here could affect when and how the wake up. And if some of them had been tangible, then who's to say that those dreams can't actually be reality? It's complicated, but he's trying to get it figured out. What if sleeping and dreaming here takes them out of the dome, even temporarily?]

But if we can't remember them, then they're not as important. [He sighs.] Just a thought. Ever since that other event with the broadcasted dreams showed up, I've been wondering about the concept of sleep here.

[Excuse him while he theorizes aloud here, mostly to get your thoughts on something he's noticed but so far not been able to personally solve.]
It's definitely something to look into possibly. After all, somehow people seem to suffer no ill effects that I have been able to observe for sleeping for weeks if not months at a time. One might think that so much sleep, and the lack of proper food and other necessities would take a negative toll on their health.

Perhaps the answer to that mystery might lie in those dreams we can't recall upon waking...

[He doesn't say anything for a while. This whole sleep coma thing is familiar to him considering how often it happens back home, but even Roxas and Sora had people during the time of their comas to care for them and watch over them to ensure little to no side-effects. It's curious, the concept of sleep and waking in dreams.]

Well, unless we can magically facillitate our dreams somehow, we'll just be stuck here pondering away, now won't we?

Unfortunately, as well as this place likes its secrets, I imagine we're not going to be gaining any answers on the subject anytime soon.

[And speaking of secrets.. there's one secret which has recently come to light. One he's been doing well enough to ignore it so far, but part of him still can't help but wonder why. He's not holding the action against the redhead though, not currently, perhaps not ever as he doesn't really see much point in it currently. Regardless of the fact it might be best to pretend he never learned about it, he's curious if there was any reason behind it...]

[Filtered]

I have a question for you, Axel, if I may?

Not unless that dumb coral grows a mouth any time soon. And I'd actually prefer for it not to.

[He sees the filter go up and wonders what this question could be. It could be a many number of things, really, but he doesn't think too long about that because he doesn't want to hesitate.]

Hm?

[There's really no sense in beating about the bush in this so he states it as a matter of fact, the part he knows at least.]

You had the replica kill me.

[A pause, it's strange really, that the statement is so easy to make. Likely due to the fact he's distanced from the event he's speaking of, having never actually experienced it personally. Unless one might count the impromptu death the replica had dealt him over almost two weeks ago now.]

What I would like to know is why? Was there a reason behind it?

Who told you that? [No answers yet. Just a question.]

The replica himself.

[Well, there shouldn't be a problem with this. Axel doesn't feel threatened by Zexion in any way, but the Replica could pose some kind of problem if he's suddenly telling people this. And he seemed so friendly at the beginning, too.

He sighs.]

Well, what's it matter anyway? You're alive here now, aren't you?

I was just wondering why you did it, if there had been any reason behind it.

[If only to satisfy both his curiosity and to prevent a recurrence of it here. He's already died once, he'd like for it to remain that way. A one time deal.]

I am... but while you slept, that replica killed me. If possible, I'd like to prevent that from happening again.

Edited 2012-06-14 23:02 (UTC)

[The reasoning behind it is classified and even if their timelines are different, Axel still refuses to confess to something like that. Even the Replica doesn't know the whole story.

Axel thinks for a moment, considering his options and listening to what Zexion has to say about getting, you know, killed and all in his absence, before he finally speaks up.]

Strictly business, Zexion. [he says, vague as ever.] I trust you'd understand that I'd rather not discuss details like those even over a filtered broadcast.

... Yeah. But sometimes I wish I didn't.

Why are you asking?

I've got some theories going on. Nothing too special.

[Pause]

So I take it that you remember the dreams, then?

Most of them, yeah.

[And a pause of his own.]

Still wish I didn't.

[So they aren't pleasant, he takes it.]

Do you ever have good dreams?

... Sometimes, yeah. Sometimes they can be really crazy, too.

[...He chuckles a little bit.]

Maybe you outta think of happier things before you go to sleep, then.
