[When the feed sputters to life, it's to a very fine shot of the lower half of Axel's face. Somebody clearly has no idea what they're doing with technology.]

[ ...you're lucky this is Kairi, Axel. ]

This is no Plan B. You're stuck here with the rest of us.

- Kairi

[burnamotherdown]

[Lucky is Axel's middle name. Right after his other middle name, Not.

...No twingey guilt feelings here, none at all. Because he doesn't get those. Uh uh.]

kairi? as in kairi kairi? so you got dumped here too. interesting.

come on, you're holding out on me, aren't you? B)

-Axel

[turnip_rage]

Option B is to work as staff. Option C is to go it alone in a world that hates us.

[burnamotherdown]

mmmm, so i'm thinking that neither of those sounds really appealing either. what else d'ya got?

[turnip_rage]

D: kill yourself.

[burnamotherdown]

well you're just mister sunshine and sparkles, aren't you

[xwheresmacrown]

Axel, is it?

I'm afraid there is no, as you so eloquently put it, "option B". Either you remain at the Garden and take what they give you or you wander out there in the world that would probably condemn you for whatever ability you've brought with you from home.

Wishing you the best of luck should you choose the latter.

[burnamotherdown]

condemn, huh? now that sounds a little more serious. might as well just stick around if that's the case.

[Aaaand now he's wondering if they'll kick him out for not attending classes.]

what kind of a name is 'l'? no offence, my singular syllable friend.

[xwheresmacrown]

Call it trauma from a previous encounter with magic. The people of this land have issues they need to get over.

[ And somewhere in her dorm, a princess is facepalming. ]

That has been merely the way I end up signing my responses to the message board. If you must know, I am Princess Lalianna Adjia Ananda of the throne of Averni.

Hardly a single syllable to my name.

bbs;

[burnamotherdown]

huh. well, as little as i care about their issues, a guy's gotta have somewhere to live.

wooaaah woah woah, princess? you can't just spring that on someone like that, l. kind of a big deal. i'm all intimidated now.

[Subtle sarcasm much?]

Depending on how odd you look, you could always try and pass as a native, but having attempted that myself and failed, I don't condone it, personally.

As distasteful as being here may seem to you, at least the people here are relatively kind and accepting. I'm fairly sure that even if you don't want to enroll as a Cadet, you can either get a job in the Garden, or even simply stay here. The Headmaster is a very kind-hearted gentleman.

[burnamotherdown]

what, the guy would seriously just let me freeload off of him? hey, not saying i don't approve, but i highly doubt that's the case.

instructor of what exactly?

[bbs]

[kat_asks_later]

In truth, likely, he would, because if the alternative was being the one responsible for you disappearing into the world, and Sun knows what happening to you? The Headmaster would not want that.

And I am one of the instructors for Intermediate and Advanced Firearms and Projectiles, since you're curious.

-Instructor Katsura Sunarrow

[bbs]

[burnamotherdown]

huh. i might have to look into this.

sooo, in english, that's what? learning to burn and throw limbs?

-Axel

[donttouchmybow]

There isn't one. Trust me, I looked.

-Kate Bishop

[burnamotherdown]

man, each of you guys is a bigger raincloud than the last

-Axel

[donttouchmybow]

Do you think I want to be here?

- Kate Bishop

[burnamotherdown]

i think you're cleverly hiding your love for this place

-Axel
