re_alignment | Number V: Taking stock [video]

[Axel appears on the screen at a somewhat odd angle, like he's not actually holding the communicator.]

OK, show of hands. Or if you happen to be invisible- which I hear is the case for at least one person-, speak up.

I think it's safe to say that a lot of us are having weird- or at least weirder than usual- things happening to us recently. And it seems to be connected to these weird clumps of colored energon- that glowing, crystal stuff the robots use for fuel for those not paying attention. Thing is, if we're going to figure out how to undo all this stuff, we're going to have to figure out if there's some kind of pattern to all this.

Alia already seems to be on the scientific angle, but just having a simpler list for reference would be good too. That way people can tell what energon seems to cause which effects and where it is at a glance.

For me, I found some red in a rock crevice on the outskirts of Megatronus' territory, and now, I pass right through any solid objects other than the ground. Including people, which is just as weird as you'd expect it to be.

Same here. You're pretty memorable yourself.

Especially now that I've known you for more than a few minutes.

[That gets another amused smirk; their initial meeting might not have been an especially long one, but even so, it had still left an impression.]

[Ventus smiles.]

I'm glad we've had that chance here.

Me too. As... bizarre as it can be sometimes, there are lots worse places to be. And with you and Sora around, it almost seems cozy sometimes.

[smirks and glances up at the giant-robot scaled ceiling of the room he's in] Almost.

Yeah...

[It was still a strange place, a strange situation. It's something he's become a closer part of, ever since his initiation.]

...

[He opens his mouth, wondering if he should bring it up now, but he hesitates. Maybe now isn't a good time.]

[Axel raises a curious eyebrow at Ventus' hesitation.]

Something wrong?

[The boy shakes his head.]

No, not really. There's...something I've been wanting to talk to you about, but I think it can wait for now.

[The curious eyebrow goes up another notch, but after a moment, Axel nods.]

Right. Probly should at least wait til this latest craziness is sorted out before getting into anything else.

Anyway, guess I'll see ya around the Haven. Be sure and let either me, Alia, or Knockout know if you see any of that weird-colored energon, but try not to get too close to it. Especially the brown kind; that's what made Sora and couple others sick.

[Have a nod back.]

My thoughts exactly.

Ah, all right. I'll keep an eye out.

[He frowns.]

Sora's affected too?

Unfortunately, yeah. He and Rewind both ran across a clump of brown energon in one of Alpha Trion's gardens, so you should probly avoid that area. And a spot near the Junkpile by a pile of rocks that looks like a guy waving, which is where the other guy found some.

[So red ones made you intangible and brown made you sick...]

Noted...

[Axel's about to list off what the other types of energon do, but can tell that's not really what Ven wants to hear right now.]

Hey... both Sora and I'll be fine, OK? After surviving Heartless and Nobodies and who the hell knows what all else trying to kill us, we're not about to let a bunch of glowing rocks do us in. That'd just be embarrassing, you know?

[He nods.]

Yeah, I know everything will work out, somehow.

[Axel nods too,slight smirk morphing into a more genuine smile for a moment.]

Good. Glad you got that memorized.

Though speaking of things working out, I should probly get back to trying o do that. You take care, hmm? I'll try and keep you updated what's going on on this end.

Oh, right. Thanks- I'll see about doing the same if I come across anything.
