Number II - When you're hot, you're hot... [Video]

[nobody_number_8]

[Axel's face appears on the screen, and even shadowed by the hood of his coat- which in itself is unusual, since he tends not to like the hood- he doesn't look too well. He also seems to be bundled up in a thick gray blanket. When he speaks, his voice sounds tired and hoarse, as if he'd been coughing a lot recently.]

Hey, everybody. Guess what? Turns out Nobodies aren't immune to this bug that's going around...

[He's forced to pause there, as he trails off into a coughing fit. He gives a faint groan when he manages to regain his breath, seeming to try and curl deeper into his coat and blanket.]

Dammit... [He sighs hoarsely.] Just... fair warning for anybody that might think of visiting.... don't touch me, OK? Unless you wanna burn your hand, that is. One of the fun side effects of being a fire-user with a fever, ya know...

[Another, briefer coughing fit interrupts him]

Hope everybody else is doin' better than me...

[Axel's spent the last decade or so living among a bunch of what amounted to sociopaths, Blurr. Caring isn't something he expects from casual acquaintances.]

Can? Probably... Want to...? That's another story...

And I hate to break it to you, but... I really don't think my body's up for your kind of ride, if we're talking car mode, here...

[He's queasy enough as it is, thank you. Though notably he's not entirely against being carried on foot...]

[raceme]

[Blurr worked with Sentinel. Make of that what you want. But yeah, understandable reaction from Axel.]

If I can't fit, Frank sure will.

I can drive really slowly but if you think that will make you more sick then I can carry you like I carried Blackarachnia.

[Bridal style!]

[nobody_number_8]

Could probly handle being carried, yeah...

[Dignity is not really a thing when he feels this miserable, so he'll take the bridal carry.

He pauses however, as something else registers...]

Wait...

...Who's 'Frank'?

[raceme]

That I can do without problem.

[He could hold him differently but that's the safer way. Think of it as romantic~instead of indignant.]

He's my pet turfbofox and he helps me do my duty from time to time.

[nobody_number_8]

[Axel would rather not think about anything involving giant robots as romantic, sorry Blurr.

But that's not the point here.]

...You have a pet fox named Frank?

[raceme]

[Geez, such an unromantic man.]

Yes. ForfrankSinatra. When I was on earth I listened to his songs in the radio.

[nobody_number_8]

[He barely even has a heart at the moment. Romance is a bit out of his scope right now.

Humor isn't quite, though, as he finds himself chuckling hoarsely. breaking off into a couple coughs in the the middle.]

...That's way more amusing than it probably would be if I wasn't feverish. Robot has a pet fox named Frank... [chuckles a bit more]

[raceme]

[Good points. Blurr doesn't know, sadly.

Blurr looks sheepish.] I liked the name...

[nobody_number_8]

I know, it's just... well, I'd kinda expect a robot's pet to be named something more... roboty, ya know...?

[Never mind that the whole idea of robots having pets to begin with is a bit odd to him too.]

[raceme]

[Blurr blinks.

No he obviously doesn't know.]

More robotic such as...?

[nobody_number_8]

I dunno... something to do with metal or computers or something... or even just a descriptive name like you guys tend to have. Just.... not a regular, human name..

[raceme]

Like Bit? A bit un-cre-a-ti-ve don't you think? I think Frank likes the name well enough.

[nobody_number_8]

Meh... whatever... Long as you're both happy, I guess...

Anyway, getting to the clinic... Kinda promised Sora that'd happen, so I guess you should send Frank over, or whatever...

[raceme]

He never complained.

We will both come and help you to get there, don't worry.


[ooc. Do you want to assume the rest or play it our?]

[nobody_number_8]

Right... I'll be waiting...


((OOC: Unless you really want to play it out, handwaving is fine. :3))

[raceme]

See you in a bit.

(ooc. assuming works for me!))
