You know, I think everyone could use a pick-me-up.

[Axel appears on camera, seated in a chair which is leaned far back for some nice lounging. He could just use a couch for this, or a recliner, but, no, he likes using this chair. It'll do just fine.]

So, who's up for Two Truths and a Lie?

[diehardreaper]

[ Okay so maybe that one was a little tough on the edges. He forgets not everyone's from his world. ]

Well, no.

[ A smirk. ]

There could be someone what's caught my eye but... well... Fancy another go?

video; /never forgives you

[flared]

Then the first one.

video; Nooooooooooo ;n;

[diehardreaper]

That makes two for two then. 'Fraid it's the second that's a lie. British born and bred here. No questioning that.

[ A pause. ]

Course that's... prolly cheating as you've never heard of London before, eh?

Your turn to have a go then.

video; ... Oh, ok, fine. /holds

[flared]

Nope. Can't say I have.

[He's been to Neverland and his universe has Big Ben, sure, but that doesn't really count as London... does it? Anyway.]

All right. Lemme see.

My preferred method of travel is via ship. I have hundreds of pets back home who do whatever I want, whenever I want. One of the rulers where I'm from is a mouse.

video; ;u; yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[diehardreaper]

Well, Bob's your uncle then...

[ There's a small apologetic look before he straightens up to pay close attention. ]

...I'd say that bit about the mouse was a lie but that sounds a touch too obvious...

video;

[flared]

Strike one.

video;

[diehardreaper]

[ Wait what. ]

...Fancy that. A kingdom ruled by a mouse. Blimey.

[ There's a small frown as he ruffles up his hair. ]

Alright, alright. The bit about the ship then. That's got to be true.

video;

[flared]

Yup. Don't care much for flying as it turns out.

[Shrug]

Not when there's more stylish ways to travel.

video;

[diehardreaper]

Depends what sort of ship and all. Course, truth be told, I've had my fill of ships for a while, thanks.

[ Thinking. ]

So... the bit about the mouse is true and so's the thing about a hundred pets or so, eh? What's that like?

video;

[flared]

Doesn't matter, really. Not fond of any ship.

[After a beat,]

What, the bit about the pets? Not that bad, actually.

video;

[diehardreaper]

Yeah, I hear you. Next ship I'll be on, it'll be too soon.

[ A small frown though because he's wary after the mouse bit. ]

Wouldn't wager it's anything as simple as a cat or a dog, eh?

video;

[flared]

Not at all. [Axel has to think for a moment about how to go about describing his "pets."]

They're called Dusks. At least the basic ones are.

video;

[diehardreaper]

A dusk?

[ Look of utter conclusion. ]

What sort of animal's a dusk?

video;

[flared]

They're not animals, really. They're... stretchy things. You'd kinda need to see one to understand what they are.

[Because, really, how does one begin to describe a Dusk.]

video;

[diehardreaper]

Haven't got a picture, have you?

[ Now he's really curious. ]

video;

[flared]

Not on me.

[He thinks for a moment before he reaches to fumble about and grab a piece of paper and a pen.]

Here, see--

[And now he'll doodle something like this.]

video;

[diehardreaper]

[ There's a frown as Ronald gets up and actually leans in, squinting at the Dusk doodle. ]

...Looks like a blind shark with legs if you want my opinion.

video;

[flared]

[A shark? Axel looks at his own drawing and just for some pizazz he doodles a fin atop the Dusk's head.]

They've got sharp enough teeth to be sharks, sure.
