[there is an Axel lying on the floor. Whether he's unconscious or dead is anyone's guess.

There is also another Axel standing near him. This one's probably more noticeable, with his dark crimson eyes and pure white Organization coat. He nudges the other Axel in the ribs with a boot.]

Rise and shine. I'm not gonna wait on you all day.

[both Axels are still here, though the one on the floor has sat up, his breathing shaky as he tries to adjust to life again. Something black not unlike blood dots the floor near him in small splatters. His Gemini is sitting on the arm of a nearby couch, looking pretty bored.]

(OOC: Remember him, guys?)

Hmmm? [walks over, version of herself with poofy red hair following behind]

[folds her hands behind her back and leans over Axel, hair falling around her face as she purses her lips and arches an eyebrow]

[looks up at his Gemini, voice is stern] Why's he back?

Uhhhhh. Wait, wait, I know this!

[snaps at her twin] No one asked you!

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[glances over at the two]

Beats me. Someone must've sent the traitor a ticket to the wrong hell.

[kindafishy.livejournal.com]

[grits her teeth together]

Ooh, he should ask for a refund then, shouldn't he?

[ignores her double - aggravated to the point her hands are shaking, folds her arms across her chest and grips them tightly] Well, he got his chance, didn't he. Seems like there's just nooo escaping... [huffy sigh]

That's the last he gets of my help. [turns on her heel and stalks off]

H-hey, wait for me~! [picks up skirt and runs after her, stomping feet]

[arms-reload.livejournal.com]

[walks over, peers at Axel and looks to his gemini with a smirk] Huh. Axel down. [grins]

What happened?

1/2

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

Just someone who tried to play hero.

...

[kicks Axel none-too-gently in the ribs]

2/2

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[ - and that's enough to make Axel's eyes jerk open and sit up. Or at least...attempt to. He barely manages to brace himself with an arm before he coughs violently, a black liquid dotting the floor like blood splatters.

His Gemini just watches this with a bored expression.]

[arms-reload.livejournal.com]

[raises eyebrows] Woah, man. [kneels down to his level]

[much younger looking Xigbar walks up from behind - he's without the white stripes in his hair and has both eyes intact] Hey man, don't just leave me like that!

[over shoulder]Oh go to hell. [looks back to Axel] Get in a fight? Need anything?

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[his lungs feel like they're burning. At the sound of a voice, he attempts to still his coughing, wiping the dark trickles from his mouth away with the back of his glove and glancing up.

...and whatever he was going to say vanishes on the way up because hey, dressing room and HEY YOU'RE NOT DEAD. His Gemini makes a sound of derision.]

Like he deserves anything.

[arms-reload.livejournal.com]

[looks a tad concerned, but glances back at the Gemini-Axel] Got a bit of a point there... But I'm feeling generous today.

Need a potion, Mr. Dribbles? [grinning] Seem pretty shocked, you new here?

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[the Gemini simply goes to sit on the arm of a nearby couch, eyes scanning the room. Pointless conversations like these are very boring.]

No, not really...

[arms-reload.livejournal.com]

[shrugs and stands up] Returning customer, huh? Lucky you.

[his gemini sits next to Axel's, looks up at him] And how are you today? [big cheery grin]

[looking at Axel, narrows eyes - this one seems familiar somehow]

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[he still feels a bit too weak to attempt standing up; putting everything you've got into one single attack will do that to you. But he's managed to recover enough in other ways.]

Place is paradise compared to home.

[oh god cheery Xigbar look-alike] I'm fine.

[disobediences.livejournal.com]

Good plan.

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[hello, you've attracted the attention of one Gemini. That smirk on his face is anything but friendly.]

Well, if it isn't Roxas. What a S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E.

[disobediences.livejournal.com]

It shouldn't be.

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

Last I checked, you'd merged with Sora.

[disobediences.livejournal.com]

Mabye you were checking the wrong place.

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

Y'know, it's pretty hard to do that when you're personally responsible for said Sora's death.

[walks through the room on his way to the kitchen - has apparently found himself an iPod and it's blaring in his ears, sticking out of his back pocket]

[once again attempting to contact juggle with a glass sphere - which isn't exactly the easiest thing to do while you're walking, but who said Demyx had any common sense]

[concentrating very hard, doesn't notice Axel sitting up on the floor, walks right past him]

[drops the ball] Tch, hamburgers. [picks it up and pauses as he starts over, tries to flip it to the other side of his hand]

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[no, absolutely nothing's familiar about that. Axel stands up rather cautiously, testing his balance and then following Demyx. His Gemini glances over, rolls his eyes, and trails after Axel, who doesn't even seem to notice his shadow/twin.]

Dem?

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

[has made his way to the kitchen - has the sink running, snapping his fingers to whatever he has blaring through his headphones.]
[slides over to the fridge and opens it, takes out a coke and closes the door with his hip - snaps his fingers once more and some of the water from the sink shoots up in a swirling fountain, cracks open the can as the water spirals around him]

[opens eyes as he turns, smile fades at the sight of Axel and the water splashes to the floor] .....

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[just quirks an eyebrow at that, his arm on the doorway for support. He should probably do something about those headphones, but walking is somewhat difficult for him right now. He settles for a almost hesitant wave.

Gemini-Axel has no such problem, however. He casually ducks underneath Axel's arm and strolls into the kitchen. By the time Axel can react to his appearance, he's already finished looking over Demyx.]

This just keeps getting more pathetic.

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

[yanks one of the earbuds out with a scowl.]

Look, Axel, it wasn't funny the first time, it's not gonna be funny now.

And now what, you have your little friends joining in? That's just great. Yeah, have fun with that. [turns around, has a gulp of his soda, looking ticked]

[a-ccidentalism.livejournal.com]

[looks at the Gemini-Axel, who just shakes his head and smirks, and then back at Demyx.]

What're you talking about? This isn't whatever the Axel from your world pulled on ya. I don't even know this guy. [feels like he should though...]

[sitarwithmytoes.livejournal.com]

[tightens his grip on the soda can until it makes a popping noise - quivering a bit and staring directly at Axel - hates being toyed with like this.]

Fine then, smartass. Prove it.
