... 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?

It was real ... in tents.

[This time he grins a little and lets out a small laugh, though it's clear that there's not much weight to it. Axel likes his puns, sure, but in this case they're just not working.

Hanging his head, he frowns again.]

Good one...

[The little laugh almost got Gamzee hoping he did it, but even he can see it ain't really working here.

But it's cool. He's still got it. His masterwork. The best joke ever. He's sure if he just lays that on Axel, it'll all work out. It's a real funny one, after all.]

Hey, you know why there ain't being nothing what eats clowns?
