Number I : The First Day [video]
[Axel wasn't sure what had surprised him more upon first opening his eyes; the fact the he wasn't looking up at Sora's sad-eyed, spikey-haired face silouetted against the backdrop of swirling colors that made up the scenery of Betwixt and Between, or the fact that he was still around to be looking at anything at all. He'd already been fading after that last attack, and he'd used the last of his energy to open the portal to The World That Never Was for Sora. He should be gone, faded back into the Nothingness that had formed him.
Instead, he was laying on something heard, looking up at a dark, metal ceiling and a... robot? What the hell?
The robot (who he noticed seemed sort of out of it, though who knew, maybe that was just how robots were) gave him a basic explanation of his situation and showed him to his room. A room that was obviously meant for robots, or at least beings, of a similar scale to the robot itself. Which left Axel in a bit of a predicament.
It took a bit of fiddling, but eventually he got the small communications device he'd been given to work. So hey there, Haven. Have an unfamiliar face bearing two small, purple, reverse-teardrop-shaped markings on it and framed by very spiky red hair.]
...There, think that's got it. Anyway, hey there. The name's Axel. Got it memorized?
Was just wondering... is there any place around here where a guy could get an actual human-sized bed? Or just a mattress? Or even just a sleeping bag or a hammock or something? Cause you know, nice as it is to get a free room, giant metal beds that I can't actually reach without teleporting or climbing really aren't my thing.

That's the impression I got, yeah.
I've been directed to the Hub to start with, though, which seems pretty promising for several reasons. Not the least of which is that there's actually somebody I know from back home who's going to meet me there.
Thinking of eventually using the room they gave me at Megatronus' temple for storage, but that can wait til I actually have some stuff to store.

If I have a room I haven't found it, but the cave I woke up in has been working nicely.
Are you the same species as Ven?
[Since Ven is the human he's spoken the most with, he figures its the most logical conclusion.]
no subject
Cave, huh? I woke up on an alter. Which is... really sort of creepy, if you think about it, even if it's apparently the norm around here. Which option is better kinda depends on your point of view, though.
[Axel raises an eyebrow as Ven's name is mentioned, using it to cover the moment's mental debate as to whether or not to try and explain Nobodies to this new robot. He decides against it, however; it's really too complicated to explain in brief to someone who doesn't seem to be all that familiar with even ordinary humans.]
You know Ven too? Huh... small world; he's the friend from back home I mentioned. And yeah, we're the same species.
[At least they'd started out that way. Though since then things have gotten weird.]
Though thanks to this world's particular brand of weirdness, we're not the same age any more. From Ven's perspective, it's only been about a year since we last met, but for me, it's been about 12.
no subject
[Megatron does notice the slight pause before the answer...but the words themselves seem innocent enough.]
Ven greeted me when I first arrived...which makes him the first organic I have actually met. It would be something of a privilege on my Cybertron, one that I would not have access to.
...
A difference in time must make things somewhat awkward. I'm afraid I'm running into that with some of my own colleagues. It is...disorienting, to have ones friends suddenly know more than you do.
no subject
Nah. See, I was part of a group called Organization XIII back home, and well... let's just say they're really unpopular for some really good reasons. Then relatively recently, I had a falling out with them, and struck out on my own. Problem is, they're not exactly the kind of group that accepts resignations, if you know what I mean. Hence the lack of welcome with just about everyone.
[He smiles a little at Megatron meeting Ven.]
Well, Ven's probly a good place to start in that case. He's a good kid.
But yeah, I feel you there. I can already tell that trying to explain to Ven how I went from the dorky little wise-ass with delusions of grandeur that he remembers to how I am now is going to be fun.
