ac·ci·den·tal·ism (original) (raw)

| [ - it's just a little strange to take a glance out the window (except there isn't a window_) and see that the city...isn't a city anymore. And it's true that Axel was more than a little fazed at first, mainly because it looks_ identical _to that weird world by the name of Wonderland in his universe.The presence of the second level, however, dispels any sort of fabricated hope that he's somehow back home. Yet he couldn't care less.]_Nice change, isn't it, Template? Well - for those who like it, anyways. Those who don't: you should P-R-O-B-A-B-L-Y do something. But you don't have to do anything.Tags:!plot, !template, c: haruka (ou), c: radical ed (tu), c: roxas (tu), hello entertainment, just this much ulterior motive, make sense for once gdit, may be frustrating, why so serious?Mood:amused [even if it is a city that he can't leave, there's no point in making that worse by remaining inside all the time. So Axel doesn't really need much of a reason to occasionally go for a walk outside.Trust the city to give him one. You see, Nobodies - replicas or not - aren't supposed to dream, much less have nightmares so real they would send his heart pounding if he had one. Since he doesn't, he woke up instead with lovely scratches along his arms and a particularly noticeable one along his left cheek, right below his tattoo. Seeing how those scratches are in the same place as the cuts he received during that nightmare, he's not too inclined to stay in his room while he figures out why.So he's a little more distracted than usual, taking only minimal care not to bump into the the denizens of Template as he walks along. But the sight of hearts - candy hearts even - falling from the sky is enough to (temporarily) drive musings out of anyone's head, especially if some of them start falling on _your head. Lucky that Downtown has plenty of awnings.]_If there's supposed to be irony in this, I'm not seeing it now.[and now _he finally seems to take notice of the second level.]Hearts aside, has anyone been having some...weird dreams lately?Tags:!plot, !template, actually serious, c: fox mulder (ou), c: mello (tu), c: roxas (tu), caught off-guard, feelings? what feelings?, no he really doesn't have a heart, weather, wtfMood:curious [for someone who practically is a double-edged sword, the ones that this Template chooses to throw at him aren't really worth focusing on beyond that first moment of realization. They've fallen into a pattern, even; no powers and emotions, or no emotions and powers. Predictable. Boring.This, though - this is something entirely different. The emptiness is familiar, and so is the fiery power coursing through him. The intensity, however, is not. When Axel appears on the second level, there's fire flickering around him, the flames a glowing violet-black so bright it might as well be white.]_About time. It's a shame to be all dressed up with nothing to do, though.[such a subtle invitation, because what good are doubled powers if there's no chance to test them out? His voice is light and mocking; like his smile, it conceals the other, deadlier edge. The reactivated tick-tock hasn't changed, measuring Axel's remaining time with frustrating precision, but it feels wrong somehow. Sped-up. Too quick, as if he's now losing two days of his life for every one day he doesn't fulfill the order he was given. He knows that this, like the others, will mostly likely be temporary if it follows the pattern. If it doesn't...well, he's a little too heartless to waste what time he has left on boring _pursuits.]_Tags:!mark, !plot, !template, feelings? what feelings?, hello entertainment, powers, this will end well, tick tockMood:restless _[and Axel finally comes to, but it's not a gradual awakening. One gloved hand clutches together suddenly, as if seeking to grip a weapon, and he immediately attempts to sit up. He makes it, though it looks like the movement's taking a fair bit of his current strength, fingers digging into the wood of the pew.]_F-fuck. What hap -_[a wince cuts off his words, his breath coming to him ragged and painful. Maybe he shouldn't be talking right now. It's obvious he didn't just let himself be taken by whatever it was that attacked him; there are a couple of bruises and half-healed cuts on his face, and he might have a few bruised ribs as well, judging by the way his other hand is pressed to his side. For a moment, there's nothing but silence - yet it could be called contemplative. Axel tilts his head slightly to the side, eyes focused on nothing particular, listening. Then inexplicably, he laughs, a sound both incredulous and amused.]_Guess once wasn't enough for ya, Template.Tags:!plot, !template, c: hikaru hitachiin (ou), c: kururugi suzaku (ou), c: radical ed (tu), c: roxas (tu), caught off-guard, déjà vu, powers, tick tock, wtfMood:okay [on the first level, a portal opens in the Courtyard of the Business District, vanishing as soon as Axel walks out of it. The sudden swirl of darkness does get a bit of a reaction from a crowd milling around the shops, mainly in the form of voices raised in curiosity. But for once, Axel isn't looking to make a dramatic entrance - there's a hint of purpose to his otherwise casual steps that implies this is more than just him visiting a part of Template he's not too familiar with. It doesn't mean he's completely absent from the second level, however. Just that his main focus is elsewhere. Feel free to ask what he's up to/bother him/wonder why he isn't wearing much else aside from his usual Organization garb/etc.](ooc: ref.)Tags:c: george weasley (ou), c: radical ed (tu), c: roxas (tu),
