Number VII: A brand new me is coming out tonight... [Action/Video]

[nobody_number_8]

[For five days now, Axel's been asleep in Knockout's clinic. Seeing such a normally dynamic individual so still and quiet, motionless except for his soft breathing, is probably strange to most people. One thing has changed about him since he was laid there on the bed, though; a day or two in, the small purple markings on his face mysteriously vanished.

Now, a few days later, he finally stirs again, his eyes opening for the first time since he fell asleep on Ven's glider. He blinks a few times, staring up at the ceiling in confusion before memory catches up to him. He's back here again. And he's still Lea. He grins, sitting up, though a little stiffly after those five days.]

I'm back...


****************************************************************

[A little while later, a familiar face appears on the comms... though slightly altered.]

Hello there, Haven! Guess who's back? And better than ever! Why, you may ask? Because I'm now 100% me again!

You probly know me as Axel, but now? The name's Lea. Got it memorized?

[ IT TOOK FIVE PEOPLE AND A BREAK IN THE SPACE TIME CONTINUUM WOW LEA. WOW. That's not confusing at all! She looks exasperatingly impressed! ]

I don't exactly know what makes a Keyblade wielder material but I'm glad. Glad to hear it. That you're---back to normal.

[ She looks confused. Book? Oh that. Frost? She'd frozen it? Really? She looks at it, puzzled. ]

I...didn't know I'd frozen it in the first place. That's...[ Strange? Unusual? Never happened before? ]...odd.

[Hey if he knew how to explain it any better he would, OK? They did a bunch of crazy magic stuff that was way over his head and that is just so weird he doesn't know how to describe it clearly. It was a great big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.]

Well, for starters, I imagine they prefer people who didn't spend over a decade fighting on the wrong side. But anyway, thanks. Good to be back, in more ways than one.

[He nods.]

Yeah, it got a little frosty when you were fibbing about how long you'd stayed here. And it wasn't me that melted it, so it must've been you, somehow. Which is interesting, to say the least. Hmm... We'll have to see if we can replicate it. Later, though.

[It's about then that he sees a picture on one of the book's visible pages.]

Huh, is that Neverland? ...Whoever drew it put Skull Rock in the wrong place. It's on the opposite side of the island.

[ Which is probably the best way to describe it, cause it sure isn't circular or linear. He makes her smile again, still, ever glad to hear that he's no longer half a person. Elsa nods, before her expression changes capriciously. ]

I---I wasn't fibbing?

[ UH HUH SURE NO ONE BELIEVES YOU, because she totally was. She looks at the book again. He had to be messing with her, clearly. She couldn't of melted it---she hadn't put any thought into trying. That's at least, how she saw it. She didn't know how. Elsa looks puzzled, still, confused at the book, the frost and now-- ]

Neverland?

[ Oh right. She'd been reading about it. She'd nodded off after the explanation of believing in fairies. ]

....You've---[ Been there. Somehow, she's not actually surprised. ]---It's an actual place?

Suuuure you weren't. [Smiles a little.] It's kinda nice actually. Never really had anybody do that for me before.

[He nods at the question about Neverland.]

Yep. Roxas and I went on a few missions there together for the Organization. I think those were some of my favorites because with the help of this little faerie and some sparkly dust, we could fly. It was the most amazing thing, even without a proper heart. Hope I get to go back so I can maybe feel it like it's supposed to be sometime.
