ADULT TABLE... I mean bench

[hellofashow]

[once Axel had secured Roxas' location, made sure he wasn't hurt, told him the rules about playing on this sort of stuff... he found a bench. No doubt placed there just for people like him.

Today? He's dressed in whatever was at the front of his closet because he needed to go find Roxas, fast. And that's a t-shirt, his scarf, and some jeans. He has a manpurse canvas tote bag next to him, filled with juice boxes, sweet and salty snacks, bottles of water... band-aids. He's the momma bird, after all. He takes out a water bottle for himself and cracks it open, taking a sip while still keeping the most watchful of eyes on the playground equipment]

[Yuuta knows a responsible adult when he sees one. So he'll, of course, go over to him and start chatting up a storm.]

Hi! I'm Yuuta and a little bit lost. You're the first adult I've seen except for on these computer things with the weird games but I wanted to talk to someone in real life and see if they knew anything about this place do you know anything?

[hellofashow]

[Wow. You are very chatty. Axel quirks a brow as the kid just walks up and starts talking.]

Uh. hi. Yeah, we seem to have a lack of adults, now. What do you want to know?

[meitori]

[He doesn't see why he shouldn't, so long as he is polite.]

Anything! Like, what is this place? And how can we dream stuff up? I dreamed up my mom's bookcase! That isn't possible, is it?

[hellofashow]

[fine by Axel. He just hasn't had any experience with kids in... a long time. And he'd forgotten how curious they could be]

Well, this place is called Promenade. We come here when we dream, or so they say. So this whole place is a dream world, and you can "dream up" whatever you want. Like this-- [Axel holds out his hand and POP, there's a sea-salt ice cream bar!] Dreams are weird that way, you know.

[meitori]

[Awesome! Have fun with more questions.]

But that doesn't make sense. Matter can't be created or destroyed. And if we were in a dream, couldn't I wake up?

[His face scrunches up, like he's trying to wake up, but... Nothing.]

[hellofashow]

[Axel shrugs]

It's a dream. Since when do dreams always obey the laws of physics? Besides, maybe the matter's being transported from somewhere else... you're too young to be thinking that kind of stuff. [cough] As for waking up, you got me on that one.

[meitori]

...no I'm not.

[He's gonna be a genius someday.]

But are you sure you don't know? Were there people before us? Or did everyone ere already dream this stuff up?

[hellofashow]

You totally are. Just go with it, huh? That's what everyone else does. Though if you want to try and figure it out, be my guest. I got no information, though.

[Geez this kid. Axel doesn't have "real" emotions, so staying unannoyed is easy. But man. If he did? He'd be really snippy right about now]

There were people here before us, but I think they're dreamers, too.

sorry i'm late >>

[meitori]

[DISAPPOINTED KID IS DISAPPOINTED. He'll have to find some books now.]

Oh, okay. I'll still want to know how it works.

[Oooooh.]

Then there are lots of people in this place and we're all sharing the same dream? How does that happen?

It is the best table.

[destinedwaters]

[Axel wasn't the only one with a 'canvas tote bag' with them. She sits down next to him, keeping a watchful eye on the children as they played.]

It's been a while, Axel. [Since they met face-to-face, at least.]

The most awesome table

[hellofashow]

[Axel doesn't even notice Aqua approaching, that's how intently he's watching. But he doesn't spook her, either]

Ah, Aqua. Have a seat. [even though she already did. Just a formality!] Good to see someone still past puberty.

Totes.

[destinedwaters]

[Formalities are something they're just plain good at, it seems.]

I know what you mean. I'm still surprised to be looking down at Terra of all people.

[She is no longer the shorter one. ...This is a new concept.]

... canvas totes 8D

[hellofashow]

[They just sort of happen, when you're so used to them.]

Hah! Terra got hit, too? I didn't see that. I've been busy with Roxas, there.

precisely. c:

[destinedwaters]

[That they do. To that, she pulls a small photo (of the thirteen year old Terra) from her bag and offers it to Axel while keeping an eye on Roxas especially.]

No one ever expects a Vanish spell...

[hellofashow]

[Axel takes the photo and snorts, then bursts out laughing]

Aaahahaha! Look at him! Look at how gangly and awkward he is! Aaahahaha... I do not miss those years, not at all.
