92nd Day [Video]

[There's a smudge of something across the bridge of Xion's nose;　it looks like it's batter or cookie dough or something. She has her sleeves rolled up, her hair is pulled back from her face in two very tiny pigtails and her cheeks are flushed. Behind her there's all sorts of cooking detritus in the confined space of the apartment kitchen, including

Oh great, you're making food, Xion?

How about- um. Cinnamon rolls!

[madeinoblivion]

My face? No! I wouldn't want to look like Axel.

[mirroredmemory]

What's wrong with looking like Axel?

[madeinoblivion]

I'm not Axel. I am nothing like Axel.

[mirroredmemory]

I know you're not, I didn't say you were. You're Joe.

...why do you always do that?

[madeinoblivion]

Do what?

[mirroredmemory]

You get weird when someone talks about Axel.

[madeinoblivion]

I don't really like Axel all that much, Xion, we-

We never got along like you and Roxas get along with him.

[mirroredmemory]

I know you didn't like him, but I do. He's my best friend, please don't say bad things about him.

[madeinoblivion]

I don't. I could say how he talked me into being a murderer to get rid of Zexion for him, but I know he's been nicer to you and Roxas, so I don't talk about it much.

[mirroredmemory]

You're making that up. Axel wouldn't do that.

Re: private;

[madeinoblivion]

Maybe not the Axel you knew. But I didn't make it up. He said it would make me my own person. That it was as good a place to start as any- taking Zexion's darkness, his power, as my own.

[mirroredmemory]

But-

[This is horrible, horrible. She can't imagine Axel, her Axel, with his dorky catchphrases and nuggets of useless information...

But the Axel who brought her back. The one who seemed oddly detached from what he was doing, compared to the Axel she was used to...]

Why would he do that? Someone made him do that, that has to be it!

Re: private;

[madeinoblivion]

No one made him. No one else was left in the castle, from the Organization, but him and Zexion.

Re: private;

[mirroredmemory]

They don't have to be in the same place as you to order you to do things.

What did Zexion do, he must have done something- Joe he must have been told to do it!

Re: private;

[madeinoblivion]

If he was told to do it, then he should have done it- himself. Not used me.
