[ As the feed clicks on, it shows a young man with totally stylish and gravity-defying dirty blond hair in a black cloak sitting in some kind of papasan-style chair with an acoustic guitar in his lap. Demyx lazily plucks away at it, strumming out what sounds loosely like Modest Mouse’s “Float On”. ]

So, I finally did it!

[ Pausing from his strumming, he holds his wrist up the camera way too closely, turning it this way and that. ]

Look! See? No more name! Which means no more god. And no more work, no more training... which means no more gross sweating. Ew.

[ Seriously, call him when it’s winter, please. He pulls a face, but then sits back again and resumes strumming, picking back up where he left off. ]

Bishamonten says I’ve gotta get a new one, but maaaan... [ He sighs heavily, shoulders slumping. ] I just don’t wanna, yanno?

[ In truth, he’s still a little bummed that Riku basically shot him down. Now there was a god he could’ve gotten behind! But, oh well. He’s not going to mention that, or let it weigh on him much. Just means more vacation time for him, right? Right! Except... ]

But she says if I don’t do it myself they’ll just stick me with someone again. Someone who might not like me, like last time.

Man... can’t I just like, hang out here and play music, and not do combat stuff? I’m totally not comfortable with it anyway...

You're gonna get eaten by an ayakashi.

[sitarsongs]

Wha--?? No way! Not if I stay here!

[nopixiedust]

No one will let you stay with them if you don’t do anything the entire time! So you’re going to get eaten, definitely.

[sitarsongs]

Now that's just plain rude!

[nopixiedust]

But is it wrong?

[sitarsongs]

[ Now you've just made him sad. ]

M-maybe! I... I'm not comfortable with answering that.

[nopixiedust]

[Cry her a river. Or at least let her sigh.]

Listen, you have to do something. I'm not saying backbreaking labor or something like that, but show your appreciation a little! It's why I help make tea for my god.

[sitarsongs]

[ Demyx shrugs, head tilting a little to the side while he scratches his cheek. ]

I can do stuff! My new god'll just have to ask me to do it.

[ A pause. ]

What? I'm not a mind-reader, y'know! I dunno what they're gonna want!

[nopixiedust]

So ask.

[Look at this impressive seemingly child judgment, Demyx. Look at it.]

[sitarsongs]

Ask my god what they want me to do?

What if they say nothing, like my last one?

[nopixiedust]

They'll say something eventually, especially if you don't clean up after yourself.
