Finally settling in

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

[So he's cleaned up--looking less like a burnt hobo and more like a productive, sane member of society. Given a proper haircut and a change of clothes, Axel's gone off to find himself a room to live in, because sleeping in hallways isn't his idea of a good time.

--but upon finding some place suitable, he immediately tacks up a notice. Just one this time (as opposed to the hundred something of "Cube warnings" he posted in paranoid fit), right outside his room in the hall.

[Shrugs]

Life's not all skittles and beer, kid. [looks a little dejected as well]

. . .

You uh...wanna go get an icecream or something?

[hesreallythere.livejournal.com]

Ice cream?

[smiles at him, a little amused]

I guess, sure.

[Plays peek-a-boo with the mint drawer of his dresser again, and reopens to a set of icecreams. He passed one to Sora, keeping the other to himself and stole his sear back on the bed.]

Huh...Drumstick...haven't had one of these in years... [he smiles and gives a light shrug] So, lighter note--what've you been doing since you got here? --the dressing room I mean.

[hesreallythere.livejournal.com]

[laughs at the magical drawer, and says a quiet thank you for it]

mmm, just talking to people mainly... you?

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

Looking for an old friend...finding him...getting rejected outright by the same guy...

I nearly caught myself on fire and killed myself trying to blast my way out of here... Got a haircut, this place--you gave me Roxy and I found Chell... [shrugs]

That's been about it.

[hesreallythere.livejournal.com]

...Mm, I'm sorry. Never had someone I'd wanted to ask out before really.

Chell? That's what you named the egg, or the dragon?

[blink]

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

[shrugs] Eh--it's nothing for anyone to stress over...

--but Chell's the dragon in the egg--whenever it hatches that this. Gotta get it used to it's name early, right?

[hesreallythere.livejournal.com]

I suppose, yeah. Why'd you name her that?

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

It's the name of a girl back home [he chuckles, telling only half the truth]

She was stuck in a nasty place too, but she stuck through it and got out. Sort of a hopeful name.

[hesreallythere.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I see.

[smiles]

Pretty. What if it's a boy though?

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs and grins] Chell Junior? Or maybe Indy? I don't know--I'm not any good at this 'naming' business.

[hesreallythere.livejournal.com]

[grins]

Neither am I. Most of mine still lack names...

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

[headtilts slightly]

Then...heh...maybe I can help out?

[hesreallythere.livejournal.com]

Sure, if you want.

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

[nods and pops his neck] Alright then--where do we start?

[hesreallythere.livejournal.com]

Back at the room I guess...All of 'em should be sleeping.

[leads!]

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

[trots on off after the other, still nomming on his icecream~]

I mean, this can't be hard, right? How many do you have anyway?

[hesreallythere.livejournal.com]

[is just licking his, pleased]

Uhh, about 30.

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

Thirty?! [jaw drops and laughs nervously]

A-alright then...thirty...so where are the little angels?

[hesreallythere.livejournal.com]

[grins]

This way~

[shows them into the room where all are, most sleeping in the little mess of sheets and such that's in a corner.]

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

[Whispering so he doesn't incite the wrath of thirtyish dragons upon him]

Uh, okay then...[he begins to point] That one's Tiny, that's Rex, that orange one's Chompy...

[--and to another grouping--] --Angelina, Cameron, and Leon...

Hmm... [motions to some of the bigger ones] Joey, Bolo, Jay...and ehm... Tony. That one's a Tony.

--and she's a Helen.

[Well...it wasn't all of them, but it was certainly a start.'

[hesreallythere.livejournal.com]

[STARE]

You gotta put thought into the names! You can't just like, pick and point!

[HOW DARE YOU SIR, bawww]

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

Hey--I'm thinking plenty here! [hands on his hips]

--I mean, that's a Joey! Just look at him!

I mean...he's a him, right?

[hesreallythere.livejournal.com]

...

[just staring.]

That's a pink one. No, not a girl.

[horizonfyre.livejournal.com]

J-joey.... [fumbling here] It's ah...short for Josephine!
