[When the feed starts up, the only thing visible is a black hooded figure's head and a still-ajar door. Were it not for him speaking up, it would have been hard to tell exactly who it was. Even then, he doesn't offer a name - only a sigh of annoyance before he speaks.]

You know, for a place that tries to be so accomodating, it sure does leave a few tripping hazards.

[He temporarily tries to angle the camera to show what it was that tripped him coming in - a medium-sized package all wrapped in red paper, just inside one of the starter apartments - but considering his own little... handicap, only a corner is seen.]

I was wondering, though - is there an audio version of the reading material? While the girl's voice was helpful, I... can't read them.

[Not through the blindfold wrapped around his eyes, and he didn't want to remove it for his own personal reasons. Not that anyone could see it with his hood up in the first place, or any of his facial features beyond silver hair that escaped its confines in the tumble that was likely heard throughout the entire apartment complex with how thin the walls are.]

...Was hard enough finding my way here.

[The feed ends after a few seconds of fumbling for where the off button ought to be.]

Yeah, I guess probably, I'm not that worried about the stuff I don't remember, because I don't remember it.

[He smiles, shrugs, he's very deep isn't he?]

Weird gift. I mean it's a nice coat and all, but it gets kinda boring after a decade. For Christmas I got some new clothes, so that'll be weird.

[What shoe is going to drop?]

[Don't mind him, Demyx. He keeps forgetting no one can see his deadpan stare save the incredulous line his lips take with this thing on. :| He can't believe he's finally met someone who is more flippant over forgetting things than his best friend and one of the others in his constant company. Or, was.]

Yeah. The guy wasn't the most original. could have been worse, though - one of those gaudy Christmas sweaters.

[The Arelen-shaped one. Obviously.]

Totally boring right? Black, all black and the whole stupid castle was white.

[He grumbles, it's so so boring.]

I didn't get that, but my friends want me to wear something different. It's weird. Do you want something different? They have clothes stores here!

[What's a welcome speech? And if Riku needs Demyx to go over and smack her he certainly could. Don't worry about Arelen.]

Hopefully not nearly as bad as Castle Oblivion. That place was blindingly so.

[Yes. The irony is not lost on him.]

Haven't decided yet. Still trying to adjust to this whole thing, you know?

[You're the first Organization member who hasn't tried to use or kill him. He doesn't know if he should let his guard down or not.]

Huh, I dunno, I've never been to Castle Oblivion. [He snorts softly.] Sounds boring though, glad I didn't go!

[He doesn't know anything about what going there means, except that no one really came back and he didn't ask for many details, not that anyone would be providing them if he did.]

Probably fair, yeah. I mean, you just kinda wake up here and everything is different and weird and people are telling you all kinds of stuff.

[He rubs his forehead.]

It's a whole thing I guess. I've been here awhile though, it's not so bad! [He's cheerful, he's a cherrful member who couldn't be bothered to kill Riku unless ordered to, and no one is here giving orders.]

You weren't missing out.

[He may be a bit mixed on his feelings about the place - there's a lot of guilt involved - but, that's just his life in general right about now.]

I'll take your word on that 'til I see it myself. [And less than three seconds later, remembered himself.] Wait, how is that possible in the first place?

Probably not, but then everyone died and I got a lot of work.

[He groans, boring.]

What's possible? Me being here? Time stops at home or something like that. [He waves his hand dismissively.]

So whatever you were doing is waiting for you when you get back.

Guess that would happen.

[Well, uh. This is awkward considering he teeeechnically... nope, not gonna worry about that now.]

Yeah. [A pause, while he listens to the rest.] Huh. Didn't know that.

[That at least might save him from, you know, panicking a little.]

Yeah, it sucked for me.

[He grumbles a bit, but it's hard to say if it's better or worse, they got their hearts back, maybe.]

Time stopping is okay. I'm fine without going back too, at this point.

Like it that much here, huh? [And then, a teasing grin.] Then again, I guess that also means less work.

[He caught on to your loathing for the thing.]

Kind of? It's hard, it's really hard to do it, but it's okay. I'm getting into it.

[He grins.]

Yeah, definitely, I'm doing sitar playing for a job! It's the best!

I'll take your word on it.

[He guesses he'll find out just how badly he takes it in the future, and it will be a problem for Future Him. Right now, he's still reeling from what he's already found.

He'll just focus on the topic at hand for now.]

Really? Nice. [He's impressed. But then, he didn't really take the time to get to know his (potentially former?) enemies habits.] I'd like to hear it sometime.

[Mostly because he has no musical talent in his opinion, and it could be a good distraction.]

You'll like it here, lots of cool people to know, definitely. [He's practically an expert right? Listen to him Riku.]

It's the best job I've ever had! [He grins.] And sure, I usually play near Shinjiro's bakery outside. I just busk for change, really, but I'm doing okay.

[He grins.] You should come by, and eat the food at the bakery. It's awesome.

[Wait, are they supposed to be enemies? Huh.]

[He'll listen when eggs fly ~~wait that is an actual thing in another world shit~~]

Who knows? Maybe I'll check it out.

[Maybe. And what's this being enemies thing? Huh.]

Definitely think about it, I'll tell Shinjiro to make you his best food!

[Now you're obligated Riku. You're welcome.]

[DEMYX....]

Fine, maybe after the new year.
