Got it memorized? Leave a messa-- [Beep]

Winterstide Gift

[pinksidekicking]

[ Inside Axel's room/cabin is a gift (how she found out where he sleeps is a mystery).

A tin of cookies and a note: "No one will ever know. We are law-abiding citizens." ]

Christmas Gift

[lucky_e]

To Axel,

Hello Axel! I hope that this letter and gift finds you well. Please be sure to enjoy it, I know it's been quite cold recently, and with all of the excitement that's been happening it wouldn't be a bad idea to stay warm as you enjoy yourself.

Happy Holidays,

Santa Claus

[Axel gets one really awesome, handmade jacket! Complete with a wool lining and a hood!

...he also gets a toy, foam sword and a box of assorted candies.]

After the Santa Gifts come

[seasaltkeys]

Santa got me Sea Salt Ice Cream.

asd WHA

[There's the sound of something thudding into the wall a room over, followed by footsteps and the door flinging open; Axel's arms half full of a long maroon, cable-knit, hooded coat.]

"You're kidding."

[THIS he's gotta see.]

[Text-->action]

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas holds up the box]

Nope.

[emberized]

"But how??" [Axel gapes. That sure does look like a variant of their shared favourite treat.]

"I mean, I found some stuff in my room too, but.. where did they even find it?"

[seasaltkeys]

Magic? The note said it was from Santa Claus.

[And he's magic, right?]

I mean, I'm not gonna say no.

[emberized]

"Yeah..." [Hm, let him see that note? Axel isn't surprised to see it looks fairly similar to the one left in his own room. Well...]

"Yeah! If someone wants to give us things, who are we to argue?"

[Sure, magic present giver and possibly Nimona, apparently why not.]

"Well, what are you waiting for, go on, what's it like?"

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas regards the ice cream a little suspiciously, but Axel's right. So he tries some.]

It...it's good!

It's almost...it's almost like Twilight Town.

[oathkeeper]

lea!! did you know the ocean is soup?

Ajhgv Bless you Sora

[emberized]

You know there's this thing where you kinda hear me say my name even before you leave a message

[You're doing it on purpose now!! But okay, he'll bite.]

No Sora
I did not know the ocean is soup.
Care to enlighten me?

[oathkeeper]

[He's just gonna ignore-]

think about it!! a bunch of meat like fish and clams and veggies like seaweed and sea cucumbers all in a liquid! like a broth!

the ocean is a soup!

[emberized]

Okay sure. I mean to the Leviathans, it probably is.

Stunning as this revelation is, what brought this on?

But what are we counting as soup here? Can't just be any container of liquid.

[oathkeeper]

imagine, swimming around in soup all day

and i dunno, i was just thinking

soup's gotta have those couple of things. meats and veggies in it. in a broth. right??

[emberized]

I'd have to imagine swimming that much period.

[Nevermind what it's in, that's an exercise in itself!]

Right
Meats veggies broth, got that part.
Anything else?

[oathkeeper]

ummm usually noodles?

i guess the ocean doesn't have noodles

06/11

[seasaltkeys]

I'm gonna go after some of the bounties. Just so you know.

[emberized]

First that monster hog, now this. You sure are active lately.

Which bounties we talking?

[He has a suspicion he knows..]

[seasaltkeys]

You know which ones.

I need a win, Axel.

[emberized]

[Roxas...]

They'll get what's coming to them
You know that right?

After making this many enemies
And Elah splitting?
It's only a matter of time.


It doesn't have to be you.

[seasaltkeys]

I know.

It's just.

I want it to be me.

[emberized]

Now if I were a responsible adult

[He thinks they can both agree he is seldom thought of as either.]

This would be the part where I tell you revenge doesn't solve everything
So what I'm gonna say is this

Be safe. Be smart. And you know I'm just a call away.

[He got the message last time you ran off. Some things you need to do yourself, don't you?]

You got a lead you're following?

[seasaltkeys]

I know. That's why I'm letting you know.

[He's not just going to wander off when he's knowingly doing something dangerous. He's just glad Axel isn't going to stop him.]

Yeah. I do.
Not alone either.

[stillarhino]

[Sorry for setting off your alarm bells, babysitter. Butthis is absolutely going to set off alarm bells:]

—AAAAAAAA—

THANKS BEAT

[emberized]

[BEAT you have no idea the stress the Nobody has been under now that more of Organization XIII is here, you CAN'T just startle the Crew's Nanny like this!!]

"Now what?!"

[Axel hisses. Green eyes popping wide as fire licks up his curtains and the cheap carpeting on rugged wooden floors goes up in a blaze.
Did.. he do that? Yeesh, he hasn't lost control this easily since his early days.
The Nobody really does need to get himself together. Other footsteps run past his room-- where smoke is no doubt billowing out from beneath the door-- and Axel allows himself a second to groan and wallow in his malaise.

They'll take care of it.

He'll investigate the threat after he UNsets his room on fire!]
