[The feed clicks on, showing Saix's face, calm and nearly expressionless, gazing into the PCD. His brow furrows for a moment before smoothing out.]

Ah, I see. A communication device - how unexpectedly convenient, if somewhat suspicious.

[He moves back, centering himself in the camera's view.]There is little need for me to ask what the name of ( Read more... )

he is the most pleasant nobody, business as usual, maybe this is nobody hell, demanding answers

[He hesitates for a long moment when he sees that face. Avoid? Pretend he's not here after all? It might buy him --

Well. It's Saïx. A few hours maximum, and that's if Demyx and Zexion don't spill the beans. Avoiding him is pointless. Talking to him? Not Axel's favorite thing to do, but at least it'll give him a chance to figure out what Saïx remembers. He's going to need to know.

His voice is casual and sarcastic when he finally flicks the PCD to recording mode. Audio only; it's less effort to keep his voice calm than his face.]

Bad news. None of us are getting out anytime soon.

[audio] savagepoise December 21 2011, 02:00:08 UTC

[...Axel.

Not who he expected to hear, to say the least, and he doesn't respond until he's figured out how to switch the PCD to audio-only mode. He's not going to give Axel any advantage here.

His voice is, of course, calm and collected, though his thoughts are a bit more scattered.]

What are you doing here?

[audio] doestheickyjobs December 21 2011, 02:12:12 UTC

[Saïx is using audio too? Isn't that interesting. Axel gives one dry heh, almost a laugh, but not really.]

Me? Oh, you know. Sleeping in! Enjoying my vacation.

We don't get much choice about arriving either.

[audio] savagepoise December 21 2011, 03:34:28 UTC

[There is, naturally, no responding laugh from Saïx.]

Apparently not. I certainly was given no choice. Where is this place?

[audio] doestheickyjobs December 21 2011, 03:38:00 UTC

[Axel might have dropped his communicator if there had been. As it is? He's keeping his tone tightly controlled and racking his brain. What does Saïx remember? What is he supposed to do about this?]

They call the world Adstringéndum.

[audio] savagepoise December 21 2011, 04:45:31 UTC

And how long have you been here?

[He needs facts before he can do anything else. And he needs to know what Axel knows, as well.]

[audio] doestheickyjobs December 21 2011, 04:47:00 UTC

Me? Half a month. Give or take.

And what were you up to when you got dragged in?

[audio] savagepoise December 22 2011, 01:44:29 UTC

[He weighs whether to answer that, and how honest to be. What does Axel know? What can Saïx safely tell him? He has no desire to tell Axel that he was - dead.]

Attempting to ensure the success of our plans. And you?

[audio] doestheickyjobs December 22 2011, 02:05:20 UTC

Aren't you diligent. [His voice twists from neutrality to a parody of animation.]

Me? Flaming out destroying a bunch of Dusks! Minutes of fun. Almost.

[audio] savagepoise December 22 2011, 02:14:06 UTC

[And that gets a resounding few seconds of silence. When he finally speaks, there's no noticeable difference in Saïx's tone.]

Dusks. I would've expected better from you, Axel.

[audio] doestheickyjobs December 22 2011, 02:19:18 UTC

[...Not that Axel had expected Saïx to react much, but that comment has his eyes narrowing before he knows it. He just loves how it's the first thing everyone says.]

Turns out quantity makes a good substitute for quality after all!

[The silence meant Saix hadn't known. Then he's from before Axel's death, or just after.]

[audio] savagepoise December 22 2011, 02:33:48 UTC

[It's about the closest Saïx will ever get to expressing any kind of regret or sadness over Axel's death. He is disappoint. You could've done better.]

When did this happen?

[He didn't know. Could it have happened after his own death? Or - did he just not know?]

[audio] doestheickyjobs December 22 2011, 02:37:05 UTC

Really, Saïx. All the information's going one way here, isn't it?

Why don't you tell me about the last thing you remember.

[audio] savagepoise December 22 2011, 02:51:22 UTC

Kingdom Hearts.

[It's the truth, after all.]

The last thing I remember before coming here was looking up at Kingdom Hearts.

[audio] doestheickyjobs December 22 2011, 03:43:10 UTC

[If he didn't know better, Saïx, he'd almost think that sounded sentimental. But he does know better.

It's convenient how that doesn't give him any useful information.]

Well. That could be any day of the week, couldn't it!

[audio] savagepoise December 22 2011, 22:15:44 UTC

You can be as flippant as you want. We were near completion.

[Even if Xemnas wanted it for other reasons, even if it didn't give Saïx the heart he desired - at least not before he was defeated - it was better than nothing. Indeed, it was the only possibility available.]

Roxas was attempting to interfere.

[No, Sora doesn't get his own name.]
