[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 -

[And there's an Edward watching from the top of a pew as he wakes up.]

Hi.

[a_ccidentalism]

[glances up with an almost-smile.]

Hey, Ed.

[timeforjam]

[Have an almost-smile back!]

Glad you're back.

[a_ccidentalism]

Yeah, so am I.

[tries to take a proper breath - oh nope, that still hurts.]

Back from where?

[whiteknighted]

[cue confused Suzaku who was under the impression Axel was already back thanks to the altar]

Wha- But you...

[pause]

Stupid City.

[a_ccidentalism]

[and right now Axel is equally as confused, but like he's going to show it.]

It makes more sense if you actually finish your sentences, y'know.

[whiteknighted]

[frowns]

You were already back.

[sigh]

Though it wouldn't be the first time the City's made me see things.

[a_ccidentalism]

[smirks.]

Hallucinations are never as good as the real thing.

[deviousintent]

Didn't you get back a few days ago?

[a_ccidentalism]

You've been looking out for me? I'm so touched.

[deviousintent]

No, but that other guy said he found you.

[a_ccidentalism]

Wishful thinking.

[a_ccidentalism]

The city can't get enough of me.

[wait. "too?"]

D'you remember anything about it?

[a_ccidentalism]

Nothing clear either.

[conveniently glossing over the "having the crap kicked out of him" part, even though it's pretty obvious he did.]
