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?

Heh, thanks. Never really considered myself an arts and crafts kind of guy, but this could work. Might take a few tries to get a usable finished product, though...

[sets the finished petal down on the table and starts looking for another glass fragment in the same shade of blue only to pause for a moment.]

Hey, um... is it alright if I use some of this stuff to make one of those wayfinders for Elsa and me, like Aqua did for all of you? I'll replace whatever I use, so you won't be out any materials.

I just... want to do something nice for her, since she stayed there with me the whole time I was unconscious. Something special, ya know?

[happyduckbutt]

Elsa did?

-ah, you can use whatever you need. Don't worry about replacing it- you're making more use out of them than I am at the moment.

[He laughs.]

And hey, if there's nothing you can find there, we can go to the junk pile together to look around.

Want to wrap this thread up in the next couple tags? :3

[nobody_number_8]

Yeah. I asked her to visit, both as part of my brilliant plan to get her out of the ice castle and interacting with actual people a bit more and because I just wanted her too. I didn't expect her to spend the whole time there, though. [soft smile] No one's ever done that sort of thing for me before.

And thanks. I'd like that.

Sounds good! :D

[happyduckbutt]

[Ventus smiles.]

That was really nice of her. I'm sure she'd really like whatever you make for her.

Not a problem, though. Let's look through here and see what we've got, first.

And wrapped, unless you want to respond. :)

[nobody_number_8]

[Lea nods, both to Ventus' assurance that Elsa will like what he makes her and the plan of starting with what they already had first.]

Yeah. No sense going digging in the Junkpile unless we have to.

Now, if I could just find a few more pieces of glass this shade of blue...

[And with that, he went back to digging around in the box, chatting with Ventus as he worked. Despite having to bear some bad news, it was good to be back.]
