Thread: [ aphasic & wolf ]

First Post Wearing ? The time is midnight, and Axel's eyes opened to darkness. The kind of darkness he couldn't blink away, and a stench that stretched out across his body wouldn't let him go. Wonderful. This again... Sighing, the Korean man slowly sat up, feeling his skin rip away from the concrete under him like Velcro. His mind was foggy as hell, and if he weren't such a carefree guy, he'd actually be pissed off. But honestly, who was he kidding? Axel? Pissed off? That only happened when Jiwon was threatening to take control, and right now, that was nowhere near the case. So... Where was he? Looking around, his eyes tried to process some sort of light to be able to reflect color, but what greeted him was more foul odors and obscurity. This was definitely not the first time he'd woken up to find his surroundings utterly confusing. I mean, seriously? This place was far from the worst place he'd ever been in. Ever tried waking up three states over from your original location with no idea how you even got there in the first place? Oh, and even better, with no ride to find your way back? It's safe to assume Axel lost his job that day and just stayed in that state anyway, cause what else was he supposed to do? Walk there? Yeah... No. Hilarious, Jiwon. Leave me in a sewer again why don't you? His laugh echoed down the tunnel that lead to God knows where, hand searching out for some sort of wall to pull himself up with. He was used to waking up in sewers. It wasn't visible, but droplets of water could be heard, a splash, a flick. The concrete under him was barely a few feet wide, just enough not to fall into a bath of shit. Down here was where Jiwon often went to punch walls and do his heavy drinking on his own, away from the world that detested the way his brain worked. And so Axel walked forward, eyes straining to find even a hint of light. It took about 20 minutes of walking but son he could hear the busy city life looming overhead, a few lamps starting to pop up every five feet. A few minutes later and he's inching his way up a ladder, out of a pothole, and into the middle of a street. Ah crap!! Bright lights and honking horns, Axel's brain briefly switches into survival mode, Jiwon taking over and body bracing itself until the taxi is seven feet away. Tensing, h jumps high, the tires squealing as the brakes are applied last minute thinking they were actually going to hit him. Please. As if. People could barely hurt him, why did they believe a car could do much better? It's big and bulky, too easy to follow with the eyes, and as his shoes land gracefully on the hood of the stopping car, Jiwon simply glaring at he driver who stared wide eyed at the phenomenon before him. Didn't the idiot watch Karate Kid? Axel jumps down from the hood, not even questioning how he ended up from staring at the lights like a deer to being on top of it and feeling pissed. As long as he's alive, right? That's the important part. And even more importantly, Blaze was probably wondering where he went off to. Grabbing his phone from his pocket oh thank God it's still there. Jiwon has a bad habit of breaking them, Axel sent a quick text to his girl, sending an address of a nearby restaurant and already moving his feet there. Thankfully, the city isn't foreign, so he feels pretty good. It's nighttime now, who knows what hour, and the family diner he was asking Blaze to meet him at, he was a regular at. Ohhh! It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, A beautiful day for a neighbor...
