Axl pops out of the air duct, landing with an unceremonious thunk on the ground. He gets up, brushes himself off and crosses his arms ( Read more... )

"Loss of body parts."

*Axl may or may not recognize Lumine, it depends. Lumine, who seems a bit confused, a bit shaken up, and a bit damaged in the torso area, with a couple of dark purple splatter-pattern wounds on the waist and chest. But most of all, Lumine's unamused, bored, and "naked", in-so-far that it's only wearing a white jumpsuit and very much unarmored.

Not to mention not agressive.*

A-ha! Axl knows the best association with this one!

"Sigma!"

Axl pauses to get a closer look at his current playmate, noticing his hair and coloration.

"You've got a bit of purple on you."

Ugly.

*No, really? Lumine blinks, looks at itself, and brushes fingers over its eye-covering bangs. After the small pause for self-examination, it gives Axl more than a cursory glance.*

And you seem to have a face in need of repairs.

"Vile!"

Axl pauses for a moment, self consciously rubbing a finger over his scar and carefully considers his response.

"It's a badge of honor and already well repaired." Axl spares Lumine a wink and continues, "It's okay if it's a little hard for you to understand. Not everyone can appreciate manly scars like mine."

"Fefnir," Zero replies plainly. There's no one more explosive that he knows, and while he couldn't care less about an icebreaker, the kid asked, so he'll get an answer.

Axl, completely stumped at that, asks the not-so-obvious, "... What's a Fefnir?"

"One of Neo Arcadia's generals. Leave him around things for long, and they explode," he shrugs. "If you can't associate something with that, rubble."

"To be fair, that could be said of most hunters. We tend to attract that sort of thing..."

Axl pauses, blurting out the first thing that comes to mind when he hears "rubble" which is, "Cities?"

"Me!" Fefnir replies less plainly than Zero. It would feel weird for him to refer to himself in any kind of boring tone. He's Fefnir! He punches things up, both literally and figuratively, so he punctuates his next sentence with a fist pump. "Incidentally, shy's not a good word association for me."

"Hmmm, I would say that "red" and "spiky" would also work fairly well, but they're not quite as creative as "explosive" is. But in the effort of keeping the game going and making things interesting and, well, with an introduction like that I'll have to go with..."

Dramatic pose, "Passionate!"

"Me!" he replies again almost instantly, but then his wicked grin fades somewhat. "Shit, I can't use the same word twice, huh?"

"No, you can't! Try again!"

Though Axl isn't sure whether that's a rule or not... it'd be a bit tough to continue on like this...

Fun!

Kindred spirit!

"You got that right! That is..."

Axl only has to think for a second, "Pranks!"

"Quick!"

This is a fun game, Crash Woman is wondering why she never played it before.

"And of course they're fun, they make the best... Everything!"

"Shot!"

Though Axl is sure that this could also reply to the cheerful woman giving him the responses.

"They certainly make some missions a little easier!"

'Shy' wasn't exactly how Metal would put it, but that was beside the point. He wasn't too much of a stick in the mud to refuse a little game of word association. Explosives, though? That was a no-brainer! "Crash."

"Car!"

At least that's usually what he'd seen happen to most vehicles. Especially if a hunter was in the driver's seat.

"Race."

He had Quick to thank for that one. Not that Robot Masters needed cars either way! Manual transmission, how do you even

"Winner." Though there's an alternative to that but Axl doesn't think about anything other than first place in a race!
