[The manic look of someone very new to Cybertron has faded by the time Alia actually makes her call to the network, but there's still an unmistakable wide-eyed expression to her as the video feed picks up. It's probably not helped by the fact that so many of the inhabitants here so are blasted tall that she's paranoid about being stepped on.]

If there are any Maverick Hunters in the area, please respond. This is Alia. I, ah, could use some company about now.

[She taps the microphone-- decorative, thankfully-- on her headset and sighs.]

Ok, so I'll admit to being new around here. I got the orientation, but... what is there to do around here if you're not fifty feet tall?

With how much crap happened to it... him, in the few weeks he was alive? Yeah, can't say it was that much of a surprise when he snapped. Almost surprised it didn't happen sooner, frankly.

Probly a good thing Vexen never made more than one.

[Even as he says it, something about that statement sounds... off to him, even if he knows it's true. The only successful Replica ever produced was the Riku Replica. He supposed that it was possible that Vexen had made other prototypes, but none of them ever saw the light of day, as far as he knew.

He brushed off the vague sensation of wrongness. It was probably just his developing heart messing with his head.]

Yeah, well, remind me to punch this Vexen guy if I ever see him. I bet karma owes him a few.

[nobody_number_8]

I'm sure you're right. Course, given that he's sorta dead back home, he's probly already paid some of it back.

[Even if, according to Sora, he'd come back as his original human self. Still, being incinerated probably covered a lot of karma points.]

Not that being dead back home ever stopped somebody from showing up here, though, so if he does, I'll remind you.

[0perator]

Thanks. I think.

[Axel just sort of smirks in amusement, indicating that he was halfway kidding.]

Just be careful if you actually do, hmm? Just like I can control fire, Vexen can control ice. And he's got about as many qualms about using it on people as you might expect.

[0perator]

I think I can manage.

[She does still have her buster installed, and it's probably as bad for organics as fire or ice would be, after all...]

Thanks for the tip.

[nobody_number_8]

Not a problem.

Need any help finding your way to the Hub in the meantime?

[0perator]

Nah. It'll do me good to map the place on my own.

[nobody_number_8]

OK. See ya around, then, I guess.
