video; open



... It's waxing crescent again.

[That's what he mutters after a while. The camera's facing what looks to be the horizon over the island and floating not too low in the sky is the moon, just a small, sharp sliver of bright white.

For those who recognize the voice, it's undoubtedly Saix speaking, but there's something different about it all the same. It sounds... almost mesmerized, as if he's not quite all there. That's because whoever's been stuck inside of this body can't quite control it yet and thanks to the moon's power, far away or as different as it is from the one back home, Axel can barely focus his mind and body on anything else.

Originally he had intended for this to be a normal video. He wanted to address the rest of the dome the way he used to when he was in his regular body. Maybe if he tossed out a joke or two he would feels better... but he finds that he can't. Not like this.

Something tugs at his chest and off to the side Axel brings a hand to his face, covering his eyes. He doesn't like this... feeling so out of power. After a moment, he speaks up again, his voice slightly grating.]


Someone tell me... How do you know if you have a heart?

And is it worth all the trouble it gives?

Hey, it's manageable. I hardly ever have to do anything to it.

The chocobos seem to like it just fine.

[Though speaking of which.]

Have you been messing with the chocobos?

Let's keep it that way.

With luck you'll be able to see and understand that while you have the chance.

Do you honestly think he would even want to try to be friends with me, Axel? We don't exactly care for one another.

I know Roxas. And I know he gives people chances.

[Yes, even Vanitas, and he's practically the devil incarnated.]

[It takes him a while, but then Axel's response comes as nothing more than two little words.]

My heart.
