From: Demyx
Posted: July 13th

[ 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...

[He'll refrain from pointing out that Demyx should have a lot of time to practice, especially if he's without a god and can't be trusted not to run into an ayakashi on his own.

But then Demyx is playing and it's...actually nice even if the lyrics doesn't make sense or sound right.

Johan patiently waits for him to finish, grinning as he applauds him.]

That sounds pretty awesome, Demyx.

[ Hearing someone applaud him, Demyx lights up like a Christmas tree. Finishing his piece -- only an excerpt of the full song itself -- he gives a thumbs-up to the camera. ]

Really? Like it??

[rainbowmaster]

[He laughs, nodding.]

Yeah, I like it.

[sitarsongs]

[ Day = made. ]

Awesome!

Anything else you wanna hear?

[ Because he loves requests, and this is apparently where the conversation is heading: Away from legitimate talks that perhaps need to be had, and onto what Demyx would rather do. AKA: goof-off and play music all night. ]

[rainbowmaster]

Whatever else you wanna play, but shouldn't it be better to practice it for Obon with your band?

[sitarsongs]

[ Demyx shrugs lazily. ] Any practice is good practice!

And they haven't given me a full set list yet. I just know I'm doing some kinda dueling something-or-other with a girl who has a-- [ --dang it, what did Lavi say it was, again?! He makes a motion for a-- ] --violin! Yeah, that thing.

[rainbowmaster]

[He laughs.] Well, I don't mind listening to you play more in that case.

Oh, a guitar versus a violin then? That sounds exciting.

[sitarsongs]

Uh huh! The only kinda combat I'm good at!

[ A quick arpeggio on the strings. ]

She better watch out!

[rainbowmaster]

[He laughs]

I'll be cheering you on!
