☄ [Video] :: Location - Hub ((Slightly backdated))

Has anyone seen Thundercracker? I've been seeing others that went down to the Core check in little by little, but I haven't heard from him yet. Actually, anyone that went down with us, if you could just say something here, that'd be great.

It doesn't hurt to get a headcount, right?

[Initially, after the successful destruction of the Pillar, Axel had been content to let Ven return to his room, figuring he'd need a rest after a mess like that. But when the folks who'd also been there started checking in, many of them having suffered bizarre side effects that made his joking suggestion that the pillar would retaliate by turning them all into fluffy moogles in tutus seem far more plausible, Axel figured he'd better check in on him.

Thus, here he was, knocking on the door to Ven's room. He probly could have used the link, but that seemed sort of dumb when they lived so near each other.]


Ven? It's Axel. Can I come in?

[At Ven's permission, Axel opens the door and steps inside... only to stop just inside as he gets a good look at his friend, eyes going wide in surprise. Axel even thought he felt a flicker of genuine surprise, but it was gone before he could examine it too closely.

Still, if there was something that could make a Nobody feel genuinely surprised... this would probably be it. Axel relaxed somewhat after a moment and came the rest of the way in. How to comment on this...?]


That's... a new look for you, isn't it?

[Yep, smooth as ever.]

[Axel raises an eyebrow when the tentacles shrug, but quickly redirects his attention to his friend's face.]

Eh, well... could be worse, I guess. I mean, the pillar could have taken my suggestion and turned you into a fluffy little moogle in a pink tutu. And while that would be funny as hell, at least for me, it'd be a way bigger problem than this.

[Of course, much worse things could have happened as well, but Axel's not about to bring those up, given that Ven seems worried already.]

And speaking of moogles... is it weird that I kinda want to touch one? I know I poked a moogle's pompom once and it wasn't too happy; got a minor Thunder spell right in the butt for my trouble.

[Axel gives an amused smirk.]

Back when Megatron first wanted to attack the Pillar I tried to talk him out of it. And while doing that I had to come up with something really weird that the pillar could potentially do to us; that was the first thing that came to mind.

[Axel looks puzzled for a moment at Ven's comment until he realizes what he said and chuckles.]

Heh, no that came out wrong. I meant I kinda want to touch one of the tentacles, just to see what they feel like, you know? It's just that "Hey, can I touch your tentacle?" seems like a really awkward thing to ask. Not to mention coming off on the creepy side.

[But hey, his verbal misstep had gotten Ventus to smile, so it was worth a bit of awkwardness.]

Latest reply ever, sorry... orz

[Axel nods at the description of the tentacles.]

Sounds like how Darkness feels, if you've ever touched it. Like really thick smoke, but too solid to actually be smoke. Half physical, half just energy, and all weird.

[He observes the tentacle as it recoils slightly.]

Least they seem harmless enough.

[personal profile] nobody_number_8 2013-12-26 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
You can if it's thick enough. Though if it's that thick and you're not going through a Dark Corridor, it usually means you've got more important things to worry about than how it feels.

And yeah. If you're going to have something weird happen to you, you should probly consider yourself lucky that it turns out to be something harmless and weird. And hey, if they stick around, you'll be a lot better at multi-tasking, am I right?

[Axel's clearly mostly kidding about that last bit.]
nobody_number_8: (Small Smirk)

[personal profile] nobody_number_8 2013-12-26 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
This is.

[Axel holds out a hand toward an empty part of the room, palm flat and vertical, causing an ominous looking portal of swirling darkness to appear.]

Not exactly the safest method of travel, but it makes getting around really easy, long as you've got a good idea where you want to end up. This one isn't connected to anywhere, though, so I wouldn't advise trying to go through it.
nobody_number_8: (Small Smirk)

[personal profile] nobody_number_8 2013-12-26 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Axel raises an eyebrow slightly as the tentacles reach for the portal. After a few more moments, he closes it with a gesture; no point in keeping it open when it wasn't connected to anywhere.]

Kinda. It doesn't seem to be quite as reliable here as it was back home, so I haven't been using it as much, unless I need to get someplace really quickly. Something just feels... off about it, like static coming through in the background of a radio signal, except with magic, and I can't seem to target anywhere I haven't already been as a destination.

And of course, using it to get off world is right out. Already tried that, and it's a no-go.

[personal profile] nobody_number_8 2014-01-05 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. Or it could be the whole 'getting dragged through time and space by the seat of your proverbial pants and plunked on an alter' thing that messed it up. [shrug] Who knows?

[Axel nods at the comment about asking after the ship.]

Sounds like a plan. Though, yeah, it seems like something or someone doesn't want to make it easy for us to leave this world.

[personal profile] nobody_number_8 2014-01-06 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Axel headtilts thoughtfully at the mention of Unicron.]

That's what everybody tells me, yeah.

[Though there's something in his response that says he doesn't entirely buy it.]
nobody_number_8: (Shrug)

[personal profile] nobody_number_8 2014-01-15 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Again, that's what everyone tells me. [pause] ...I dunno, maybe I'm just paranoid; living with what amounts to a bunch of sociopaths for over a decade'll do that to you. But... I just can't quite trust this whole set up.

I'm used to having something obvious to fight; Heartless, the Organization, some other random monster. Here? We've got a bunch of giant robot demi-gods telling us 'this is how things are'and we're expected to just accept that. Things seem to point that way, and all, but... you can't say they don't have something to gain by us being stuck here too.

I mean, when you get right down to it... we're kinda in the dark here. All we have is their word that they've got our best interests in mind. And that's... not quite enough for me, I guess.

[Axel shrugs. He really has no actual evidence to base his suspicions on... but he's still not inclined to blindly trust the First Forged.]
nobody_number_8: (Shrug)

[personal profile] nobody_number_8 2014-01-19 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. The whole thing just bugs me.

We've really got no choice but to stay in the First Forged's good books, though, I guess, so what we think is kind of a moot point. When you come right down to it, they're in control here, and we're just along for the ride.

[And that, likely is why he can't bring himself to trust them. He's been on both sides of too many betrayals to trust anyone who holds that kind of power over another not to abuse it when it suits their purposes.]

But yeah. I'm not exactly the heroic type, but even I can tell that this 'Unicron' is bad news. And given that we're stuck here, it's in our best interests to protect the place, if we can.

[Axel shrugs. Whether the reasons are altruistic or pragmatic, it amounts to the same thing, in the end.]
nobody_number_8: (Small Smirk)

[personal profile] nobody_number_8 2014-01-20 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I guess. Though they're definitely more up on what's going on than we're ever likely to be.

And you really gotta wonder about a couple of 'em, ya know? Like that Liege Maximo guy. I mean, I'm all for not judging a book by it's cover and all that, but seriously, the guy just comes off as creepy. That, and he's named Liege Maximo which sounds like a comic book super villain, or something.
