[twocomplex]

Who: GAME-WIDE MINGLE aka everyone
Broadcast: If you want
Action: The Stations!
When: From 04/05 through the month of April.

[Well, that all sure happened. But at least you have the waystations! Whether you want to stock up on supplies, work, trade, or visit the very fancy Virtual Reality Dome, it's bound to be a nice break from the attacks of the 5th.

Make your own prompts, set up your own Virtual Realities, etc! For reference, the OOC post with info is over here!]

[Oh. He wasn't expecting such an easy handout! Belthazar struck him as the type to make him answer a riddle or something before he handed anything over. Well, he's not about to complain, and just digs up a spoon.]

Hey, thanks! [He takes a bite and smiles broadly.] Heyyy, this is really good! Did you make this with the weird tofu stuff, or did you have real food to work with? Either way, I'd come see you at dinnertime any day.

[He gestures at him then.]

How's your head? Heard you cracked it good.

[Maybe when he's feeling particularly catty, but he's really just... kind of bored and tired at this point.]

There isn't as much actual meat as I'd like, so I had to use the... tofu. Thankfully, soup is soup. I was able to conjure some seasonings, too.

[That question makes him look alarmed for a second, and then guilty.]

Oh. You... heard about that? [He rubs at the spot where he hit his head. There's just a red mark now-- it's clearly been healed-- but...]

I feel much better, but I'm not allowed to get up too fast or do anything too strenuous. I don't know how they expect me to sleep for a month.

[He's a teenager, it ought to be easy.]

[Axel nods a little. Yeah, he heard about it. But there's nothing derisive in his expression, he's not trying to make fun.]

Hey, it happens, we've all been there. One time, I literally exploded myself--got a little overzealous with some fire magic and... boom! [He makes an explodey gesture with one hand, waving the spoon.] I was unconscious for like two hours.

[He sighs heavily then.]

Man, sleeping for a month sounds awesome, I dunno what you're talking about.

[arcanepower]

Oh. [That makes him feel a lot better, actually, and Axel even earns a tiny slant of a smile.] When I was much smaller and still new to arcane magic, I exploded a toad instead of polymorphing it. They found me passed out face-down in amphibian guts. It was not one of my finer moments.

[Ew.]

But there's so much to do! There are dozens of books to read, and I have papers to write and recipes to recreate. Sleeping that much is a waste of time.

[He laughs at the image, then sort of shrugs one shoulder.]

Well, you're not wrong: there is a lot of stuff to do. I just try and space it out between naps. [A big grin.] I guess I just really enjoy sleeping. [Would that he could do it for longer than a few hours at a time.] But maybe everybody needs a hobby, right?
