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...

You should have a god, if only for your own safety and stuff. And if it's training and stuff I can train with you. Sweating isn't gross, by the way. Everyone sweats.

Well, they’re gonna stick me with one anyway. That’s what I got told. I’d just wanted one that I picked, yanno? To make sure we’re friends first, and that they’re gonna like me.
[ But his favorite god kinda... well, pretty much politely declined. It’s not his fault! If he’d remembered Demyx from the time he’d been here before, the musician has no doubt they would have been a perfect god-shinki team. But being little more than a weird stranger to him now, it’s no wonder he got shot down.
Sadly, after him, Demyx is out of ideas, discouraged and inclined to play the part of this temporary home’s wandering minstrel, which is easier. He’s all about the easy way out of things. ]
I did training stuff before with friends. I can draw borderlines!
[ His voice grows quiet as he returns to strumming from where he’d paused. ]
...But sweating’s still gross, even if everyone does it.

[ Honestly he knows it’s sort of hard to make a decision though. ]
It’s good you can do that at least. And if you ever want to, you can train with me. [ D2 likes training, see. ] Also, showers after a good work-out feels great.
video;
He nods, and continues strumming for a moment until D2 offers up training time. Training is a total bummer, but with friends? It's... well, less so. ]
What kinda training do you do?
video;
Training is fun, at least in D2's book. ]
Different stuff? Like hand-to-hand combat, guns, and I'm learning how to use a sword but I'm also training shinki stuff like borderlines and stuff.
video;
Guns? A sword?!
[ Demyx can see it now: Him, a powerful shinki, drawing borderlines and defeating ayakashi with a fearsome blade...
...Just kidding! ]
Wait -- so like, who's teaching you to use a sword?
video;
[ He prefers the gun, he's clearly used to it and they feel natural to him. Plus, he had one on him when he showed up here. ]
Random people I can bug into it, and then I train alone to get the movements down a lot, and then confirm them with them, and bug them into sparring with me. The training sessions at Bishamonten's temple gets pretty useful for that.
video;
She has training sessions? As in, more than one?
[ He thought the one he attended was a one-off, not a recurring thing. ]
video;
Once in a while, yeah.
video;
So, can... you teach me to use a sword? Because how awesome would that be?!

[ He seems to debate this for a moment, as though it's a commitment worthy of considerable forethought. On one hand, it's work. On the other hand, if it's one thing he's learned, it's that work sometimes doesn't feel as much like work if he's got good company. So, internal debate over! ]
Alright, I'm in! Let's do it!
video;
Great! I’m looking forward to learning with you!
video;
Yeah! It'll be awesome!
[ Blind positivity, here to save the day. ]
