re_alignment | 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.

Not the literal kind of heart that pumps blood; still have one of those. I mean we don't have hearts. Or whatever you robots call what gives you your identity, and lets you feel things and connect with others. We don't have those.

[Axel is waiting when the blue car pulls up. Or rather, races toward the temple at breakneck speed. Axel is almost ready to duck out of the way, just in case the car decides to try driving right into the temple, when it skids to a sudden halt outside. Axel waits a moment, just in case the car decides to take off again, then approaches.]

... Blurr, right?

[The car was the same color as the robot had been anyway.]

Ah for a moment I thought...we have sparks, I think that might be close to what you mean. Is what humans call souls?

[Blurr doesn't usually crash against walls ~~unless those walls are moving~~ and he knows better than try to enter the temple in car mode. that would be rude. Axel had nothing to worry, he could control his speed most of the time.]

That's it! [The car starts to move and twist, getting bigger and changing into a light blue robot with bright optic.] Nice to meet you in person.

Souls are... actually a separate thing, at least where I'm from, but it sounds like you've got the general idea.

[And you seem remarkably chill about knowing you're talking to a humanoid abomination.

Later at the temple, Axel raises an eyebrow when the car that is Blurr talks to him... then jumps back in surprise as the car starts to come apart and reshape itself into a tall, slim, blue robot. When all that happens is a pleasant greeting, though, he relaxes.]

Same here. So... you really do turn into a car. Huh... wasn't sure if I quite believed you before, though it'd hardly be the strangest thing I've ever run into.

I see. Different universe, different concept. Sometimes it's a bit hard to figure things out.

[You seem like a nice humanoid abomination so far, Axel.]

I do but other members of my species turn into different things: trucks, microscopes albeit a huge one, jets....Some even have more than one form.

Heh... You're tellin' me.

[You'd be one of the few so far to think so, Blurr.]

Must come in handy for getting around. Or for when you want to... look at microscopic things, I guess.

[Clearly Axel finds vehicles more practical things to turn into than microscopes.]

[That's the magic of being Blurr. Axel's comment gets a chuckle out of the bot.] It sure does.

Should we be going? Where you ever inside a car before? [Blurr's subtle way of asking if he's going to be sick.] i drive faster than the average car.

A few times. Not a whole lot of use for them when you can just teleport everywhere you want to go, but there've been a few worlds where it was necessary to blend in.

And yeah, so I noticed. I'd say 'bring it on', but then you might take me seriously, which could be trouble, depending on how much faster than average were talking; not really looking to be squished against the seat like a pancake, thanks. But if you avoid potential pancaking speeds, I should probably be fine.

[Couldn't be any crazier than fighting and dodging Heartless in midair in Neverland, after all.]
