[There's a good shot of fingers playing over a sitar, and it sounds like the melody to Silent Night, because it's December, and look this is his job.]

Hey everyone!

[Demyx sounds somewhat less enthusiastic than usual, but still polite enough.]

Are you having a party this holiday season? I know all the Christmas songs - and if I don't know yours, I can learn it by ear!

Book me now for parties, gatherings, whatever!

[He hates Christmas so much, but hey, have to make a living.]

[There's also no mention as to why Demyx has been laying low as of late.]

[People can look at his face now, so he changes the image.]

This is a sitar, and this is what it sounds like. [He's still playing.]

Mostly I play whatever I'm thinking about, composing as I go. I can play classical pieces, and Christmas songs, songs I picked up in my travels. [So, Disney songs.]

I've been playing for at least a decade. Maybe even coming up on twelve years. I would be considered good, yes.

That is so cool! I like how it sounds.

[Now she's getting comfortable on the bed since the pain in her toe is subsiding.]

Twelve years?! Wow, that's like, more than half of my life!

I love Christmas music! And I would love to sing for you- I mean, if you play anywhere?

It's more than half my life too. I think....wait.

[Yes, he is counting on his fingers.]

Yeah! Just more than half my life.

[He tilts his head a little.]

Well I guess I'll offer it to anyone who wants to hire me.

If you want, I'll even sing for free as long as it gets my name out there. So if you get hired, I can tag along, and you can keep all the earnings.

[She smiles.]

I'm not going to take someone's hard earned money.

Uh, well so far I haven't been hired, but I'll let you know if you want.

Absolutely! Keep me updated! I can sing all of the classic carols and even some newer pop Christmas songs. What do you know how to play?

Anything I've heard. Santa has Christmas songs on a loop in his workshop so I've heard, what I think, is most of them. If not, I can learn it from someone singing it to me.

Oh? I don't mind practicing with you if you're not busy? I know I lot of newer songs that would be hits at parties.

Sorry, I'm not really going to spend time playing Christmas music if I don't have to.

[He smiles and shrugs a little.]

I hate Christmas.

You- oh.

[Her smile faded.]

I'm sorry to hear that.

I didn't mean to impose or anything, I just thought- because you were playing and-

sorry.

[She smiled again.]

I can sing non-Christmas music too?

It's fine, really. It's just a thing that happens every year and I thought since it's my job I should offer my services.

[He smiles.]

Outside of Christmas songs, most of what I know is classical and what things I've heard traveling. I probably don't know your music yet.

Well YOU are in luck, because I happen to work at the music store! You should stop in when I'm working and I can show you some of the hottest new artists where I'm from!

Okay I will come visit sometime. Promise.

Good, you better not break your promise!

And call me if you want a singer if you're hired for those Christmas shows. If anything, I can help get the Christmas attention away from you.
