Number I : The First Day [video]

[nobody_number_8]

[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.

[Ventus nods.]

The storm was pretty sudden. Never saw anything like it since I've been here.

But that's right. I don't know for sure how many Firstforged there are, but I've only spoken to Prima and Alpha Trion, myself.

[He trots along towards the area designated for the smaller denizens of Haven. It's kind of sad when the place is empty since he remembers the times when it's been full of both Cybertronians and humans.]

Hmmm... My guess would be as many as there are temples, given that from what I understand it's one temple per customer. Though who knows if there might be more that are just off somewhere napping or doing whatever it is giant robots do and haven't shown their faces yet?

[Axel shrugs. He'll judge these 'Firstforged' guys when he actually meets one. Currently, the whole thing feels a bit like a scam to him, but he'll need to find out more to know for sure.

As for the emptiness of the bar, Axel's actually sort of glad of it. It means they'll have a bit of privacy. Axel follows Ven over toward the area that's clearly meant for human-scaled folk, looking to secure some food and a table. Or even just seats at the bar. Long as he and Ventus could eat and talk.

Axel had some explaining to do, and most of it wasn't going to be fun.]

((OOC: Will let you decide where they sit and what they get to eat cause I have no idea what's available or how they'd go about ordering. X3))

That's a good point. In that case, there's at least...six, I think. They don't show themselves very often though, but sometimes if you try contacting them on the Link, they'll answer. ...or at least, normally they would.

[He absently fingers the white glyph that's barely visible beneath the edge of a sleeve, outlined in magenta and a little larger than it had been when he'd first arrived. It's only slightly brighter than the standard glyphs too, but that "slightly" is what's concerned him ever since the appearance of the Pillar.

The boy leads the way up a spiraling flight of stairs to the second floor that's designated for more human-sized clientele. There's plenty of empty chairs and tables aside from a few booths to choose for sitting. Ventus gestures towards the kitchen.]

Guess we can see what all we have. There should be enough in the pantry to throw something together at least.

[Most of those edibles would be canned food as found from the Junk Pile, aside from perhaps a small selection of vegetables that had been grown, and then there are eggs!]
