Okay, let's see here... Push this one, uh... Then that--Whoa!

_{[After some fumbling (and a near drop), the device finally flickers to life to show a hooded figure peering down into the camera. At first he's dead silent, his mouth opening and closing a few times as he tries to figure out what to say before he decides to take a chance and shake a proverbial fin.]}

Soooooo, I guess I should probably introduce myself or something... I gotta admit I'm totally lost even with that chick telling me the basics. Either way-- _{[He reaches up to push the hood back Light what is wrong with his hair.]} You guys can just call me Demyx, and this is gonna sound really dumb considering the whole... y'know, circumstances, but does anyone know a good place to grab a bite to eat? I figure it'd be better to get some grub while I try to make sense of some of this stuff, anyway.

I can help!

[ cuttlefishCuller wants to send you: A Newbie's Guide to Exsilium ]

You can read it whenever you want, it should help a little bit.

[implying]

Why, showing attractive new people where to find the best food is something of my specialty! I'd be pleased to help, if you'd like a more personal touch than Feferi's charming guide.

[ A sigh, before turning his feed on. Figures. All the aid he could have received from the Initiative from the Organization, and he gets Demyx. Zexion turns the feed on, and tries to remain cordial. ]

The coffee shop across the street from the main entrance to the Initiative's headquarters. And Demyx... try not to show off your lack of technological literacy.

[Now there's an unexpected familiar face. Of all people to show up, Demyx is about the last one he would have expected to get randomly recruited for any sort of insurgence. Have a snort of laughter.]

Boy, they really sent the wrong guy for the job this time.

_{[Give him a few minutes while he skims over everything how does he shot future???]}

Man... It's already sounding like how things were back home.

Re: voice

[ninthserenade]

Yeah? I wouldn't mind that--I mean, maps are totally fine but they don't show everything, yanno?

[implying]

Precisely! Now, what is it you're hungry for, my dear?

[ video ]

[ninthserenade]

_{[...Okay, he's either seeing things or this really is the afterlife.]}

Zexion?! What-- Dude, what're you doing here?

[video; private]

[ninthserenade]

_{[Any room on that boat for one more? Because he's just going to stare at the device for a few seconds.]}

Axel? You're here too?

[video; private]

[got_it_memorized]

[Eyeroll. Hurr durr, Demyx, if he wasn't here he couldn't be talking to you, could he?]

Nah, I'm just a figment of your imagination.

[fintastic]

Where's home?

[ video ]

[amereillusion]

The same thing you're doing here, Demyx. Fighting a war I really don't want anything to do with.

[ No, but it might as well be. ]

[fe_male]

You've never seen an iPad before?

[ninthserenade]

To be honest, I'm not really sure where it was. The entire place was called 'The World That Never Was' which was pretty confusing at first until I just figured I'd roll with it. I didn't pick the names out, y'know?

[ninthserenade]

Hmm... They got any pizza joints here? Good ones?

[ video ]

[ninthserenade]

...I really have no idea what I'm doing here, actually. The last thing that happened to me, I... um... It wasn't good.

_{[Dumb afterlife.]}

Can't I just sit this one out?

[ninthserenade]

A what?

[video; private]

[ninthserenade]

Dude, I haven't seen you in what feels like ages--Is this where you've been disappearing to?

<sub>[Axel are you dead

because he's seeing dead people.]</sub>

[ video ]

[amereillusion]

I already tried leaving, Demyx. [ Totally disregarding that 'it wasn't good' thing, just because nothing is ever good to him. ] It didn't work. There's no way off this world through the Corridors.

[video; private]

[got_it_memorized]

[A snort of laughter.] Can't feel like ages if we can't feel. [Yeah, he's splitting hairs; no, he doesn't care.] Did you sleep through the briefing that said I was going to C.O. with the others or did you just forget? [Seriously, either option seems believable to him.]

[video; private]

[ninthserenade]

_{[He makes a face and opens his mouth to protest, up until Axel mentions C.O.]}

Uh, Axel? That briefing was a few months ago.

[ video ]

[ninthserenade]

You sure we just can't leave cuz we're--

_{[No. Nope. He's going to abort that mission faster than he can say 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.']}

Nevermind. It's... It's nice to see you again, even with the messed up Corridors.

[video; private]

[got_it_memorized]

[He quirks an eyebrow, then scratches his head, a little unsettled. Granted Demyx's information isn't always accurate, but he didn't think he was that bad; can't he gauge the passage of time a little more accurately?]

Well, I was there for like a month and a half, but... I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself.

[video; private]

[ninthserenade]

I know. I remember when everyone--Well, when you came back since everyone else bit the dust and it's been awhile since that happened. Roxas ditched the Organization and then you kinda bailed...

_{[He frowns a bit, turning his attention away from the tablet. Part of Demyx knew he sounded crazy, but it was the truth! Really!]}

[video; private]

[got_it_memorized]

[More eyebrow. Demyx stahp u drunk.]

Uh, wanna run that by me again, IX? [He twists his pinkie in one ear.] Could'a sworn you just said Roxas ditched the Organization, and while I do kinda think he's a little too nice for this sort of work, it's not like he's really got the common sense to go anywhere. He's still half-zombie, remember?

[And then he looks indignant.] And whaddaya mean I bailed? Are you out of your gourd? Like I'm gonna risk getting turned into a Dusk that way--sheesh. Seriously, did you get into Xigbar's liquor cabinet or something before you got here?

[Oh, he's sure Xigbar's got one.]
