His opinion of this place improved exponentially when he discovered the trunk at the foot of the bed that contained clothing he was a bit more accustomed to. After making sure he was alone in the room and peeling the ridiculous white monstrosity off, he quickly fumbled into his usual getup and found himself ten times less disconcerted. Adjusting the zipper on the front of his coat, Axel peered around the room with a frown. Dorms? Hell had dorms? Where in all the worlds was he? Well, at least whoever else was supposed to be bunking with him wasn't around to see his moment of panic. He never would have lived that down.

He took a moment to summon his chakrams, just to make sure they were still there. Thankfully, they heeded his call and he breathed a bit easier. Maybe this wouldn't be so difficult after all. Maybe this wasn't Hell--he was pretty sure Hell wouldn't do him the courtesy of providing wardrobe and weapons. Wherever he'd been sent by Saïx's last attack, if Saïx thought he'd be rid of him that easily he had another thing coming. Old friend or not, Axel was inclined to go give him a piece of his mind.

Well, maybe better to figure out where he was, first. Using portals when one didn't know where one was didn't sound like a good idea. Best to at least have a grasp of Point A before attempting to find Point B. Dismissing his weapons (he could call them back at the drop of a hat, after all), Axel turned and moved toward the door, carefully opening it to peer out into the hallway. There didn't seem to be anyone in the immediate vicinity, so he supposed it was safe to venture out. His guard up, his eyes alert, Axel stepped out into the corridor, closing the door behind him, his senses keen to all the new sights and sounds around him. First unitards, then dormitory beds... there really was no telling what sorts of things this place would throw at him next.

Sora will quickly look over and frown. He doesn't recognize Axel, but he doesn't like the jab--as he perceives it. So instead, he'll just pause and set the controller down before standing to look toward Axel and face him fully. He'll just keep his frown.

"...No. It's just impossible to navigate this corridor without dying."

...Guess who took that literally.

... Huh. Sora never struck him as the Anger Management type, but he supposes the kid has already proven himself full of surprises. He doesn't seem to recognize him, though, so... maybe that's for the better. He wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of the Keyblade if Sora ever found out he kidnapped Kairi.

Moving to where the game box fell and stooping to pick it up, Axel frowns at the title.

"Not familiar with this one," he says with a tilt of his head, handing it back toward Sora. "... In case you need to throw it again," he says helpfully, and then turns his eyes to the Game Over screen. "So whaddya have to do?" It's been a while since Axel played a video game, but there was once a time he was pretty good at it.

Oh, Axel. You especially don't want to know what this Sora would do if he found out about that. Instead, he'll take the box back and set it down on the couch before looking back to the screen.

"I'm supposed to explore the hospital, and find something. Not sure what, the game likes to be vague," he explains, "But I keep getting cornered by monsters, and there's too many to just fight past them."

He'll press continue and the main character will stand in the lobby of the hospital, idle animations running in cycles.

"Monsters in a hospital?" He shakes his head, looking befuddled. "Seems a little counterintuitive if you ask me." Watching the idle animation a moment, Axel sits down on the arm of the couch and holds one hand out. "You want me to take a bash at it? I've never played this game before, but..." Well, he's been known to have beginner's luck.
