A nocturnal melody.

[Voice Post]

Looking at what I've posted, it seems I've been in the City for over year. Strange. It passed by rather quickly. [His voice is different, monotone, and matter-of-fact]

There also appears to be a curse going on today, though I can't quite figure out what it is. Ah, well. It is no concern of mine, then, I suppose. [a pause] I might go out by the ocean today, but if I don't, I guess it's not too much of a problem, though.

[OoC: Taking pure heartlessness oh so literally. Mimics Mytho(s) in Princess Tutu, because it is the best example of heartlessness I've ever seen. And how Mytho likes dancing despite lack of heart? He likes water.]

[Video Post]

[Demyx is sitting out in the Square, playing his sitar, nothing out of the ordinary. Depending on who you are, and where you're from, the tune is familiar, albeit short. He smiles as he finishes, looking up at the camera.] I know there's probably not a lot of people that like me, but I'll still be here playing while all of your fancier concerts are going on. And I'll be playin' for free, too!

[OoC: The song can be found here, but picture it, IDK, with just the sitar and not the singing people. ^^' I don't know how affected he is, but suffice it to say that he's not the most popular musician out there, irregardless.]

[Accidental Voice Post- From a conversation with Misao re-directed here] I dunno, I mean, a lot of people've been going to the beach lately. Because of the weather. And it's not that I like fighting or anything, but I guess there's nothing wrong with getting stronger. But also, when I use my sitar when I'm manipulating my water it's- It's nice, you know? I don't know that you could call it complete, but it's probably pretty close to it. Plus I've never worked with so much water before.

Although, there was that one curse where I was on the swim team or something. I remember that I- I mean, it was different, because I'm pretty sure I had a heart, but I remember that I really liked it. So maybe . . . maybe I should try getting a bathing suit, huh?

[OoC: First thing based on the conversation here. And the fail!filter not that he can filter normally from here. All strikes viewable for this entire entry. AND TOTALLY COOL WITH THIS BEING A FOURTH-WALL DAY POST.]

[Voice Post]

I dunno what everyone's complaining about. The rain's great! Look at all of the water that's everywhere! And I heard that there's a beach. If there's an ocean then I definitely need to go there when it not like this. And this is way better than those weird dreams.

Probably not you, huh? That reminds me, Axel's back again, and the Superior's here, too! He's also been living with us. It's pretty interesting.

[Private//Off the Network]

Yeah, it's great that the Superior's back and everything, but it was kinda weird at first. But it's not bad, cause so far I haven't had to go on missions, and he said that he'd look for other ways to get our hearts back!

Even though he still probably doesn't believe my theory about it. And Axel's here, too. Which- well, he killed Zexion, and that's definitely not good, but at the same time, I'd like us to all stick together. That's what we've always done. I don't like that there's separation now, but- maybe it can all go back to how it was.

Wonder if Carl could help.

[/Private]

In the meantime, I think I'm gonna go outside. Anyone else wanna join me?

[/Voice Post]

[OoC: Link IC, should have been up earlier, Shabbat-time and I've got paper . . . s to do, but I'll tag back asap after Shabbat.]

[Voice Post]

Awww, man! Why'd I leave this studying for the last minute? This is so bad. It's not even like I should be taking some of these classes, they've got nothing to do with my major!

I mean, it's not like I was completely goofing off. Sure, I may have read a few comics in the process, but- hey, the swim team was celebrating winning our last meet! For a week.

And plus, symphonic had its' concert, and we had to practice a lot more. True, not that I really needed it all that much, but it's not like it's my fault that I only really had some basic snare parts! Every time I tried to get creative the conductor would tell me to lay off. Hasn't he ever heard of improvisation? That was half of the appeal that got jazz to become really popular in the 20's, anyway. And I only picked percussion 'cause they didn't have room for a sitar. I don't care that it's a really rare instrument, I like it.

Not that percussion's bad, really. Snare's easy enough to get the hang of, it's all rhythms. And the timpani parts're usually pretty cool. Plus, I got that really neat triangle solo! Man, now I'm kinda in the mood to play something. Yeah, maybe I could write a song or something . . .

Wait.

THE TESTS! [sounds of running and panicking and lots of shuffling of papers, and then a groan] Anyone wanna form a last-minute study group?

[/Voice Post]

[OoC: Demyx is in University. He's a senior, majoring in music, plays percussion in band, and is captain of the swim team. IDK high school and college bands are either symphonic band or wind ensemble. Expect massive backdating on this after about noon. Shabbat 1500. Woo.]

[Voice Post]

Hey, someone has my coat, right? I have someone else's blue jacket and black pants. That's not really important, though.

Xigbar and Axel's here, too! And Naminé came back pretty recently.

I wonder who else is gonna show up.

[/Voice Post]

[OoC: THIS IS TTLY BACKDATED, MKAY? Also, image comes from this only, pretend that's Kaoru he's switched with. Not that the clothing makes a difference.]

[Voice Post]

The curse is over now, right? No more ducks? Cause everyone was saying how cute everyone was or whatever, but you have to be careful around them, they're not so even-tempered. It was almost like Hollow Bastion again.

I don't know about this whole decree thing. A lot of people are either drunk or refusing to do it, I don't really care too much. I might wind up doing something, but I dunno.

Reno got a heart on his doorstep too. His wasn't wrapped up like mine, but I bet you don't think it's so funny anymore, huh? What's going on with that, though? You didn't say anything that could be misinterpreted, did you, Reno?

[/Voice Post]

[OoC: If I forget, all responses are voice. And Kiddo-kun or Riou or anyone on the police force that wants to question him, please, PLEASE be my guest. :3 The more the merrier.]

[Voice Post]

Alright, so, from what I found out, Santa, or Saint Nick, is real, but on some worlds, he isn't. Kids write letters to him to ask for stuff, and then he'll deliver it to the children who've been good, or they get it from their parents. Then to people who've been supposedly bad, he gives coal. In the worlds that he isn't real, people tell kids that he is, but then give them presents, anyway. People also give gifts to their friends, which doesn't seem to matter on what you think about Santa.

It's celebrated with family and friends, and presents, and a tree, and food, and songs. I get most of that right?

I've also heard this a lot around now; I've fiddled around with my sitar a lot, which is now on a stand 'cause Guy made me one, so I figured I'd play it over the network. Y'know, sorta like a present. [This is played by Demyx] Merry Christmas. Especially to Guy, Megumi, Reno, Rudy, Misao, Naminé, and Machi.

[Private//So very very hackable it hurts]

Celebrate with family and friends, huh? Well, I guess the closest thing'd be the rest of the Organization. But friends? I dunno, I mean, I guess they all consider me a friend, but can Nobodies technically even have friends?

I've also been saying thanks to people lately; ever since Megumi and Roxas helped me out when I was a zombie. It seemed appropriate at the time, and I said it when people gave me gifts, and it's really interesting to see how everyone reacts to it, but I've never used it before. I never had a reason to, and I dunno if it's 'right' or however you look at it.

[/Private]

Uh, speaking of which, I thought I heard a song that said there were twelve days of this?

[Voice]

Curses've been weird lately. First I got killed by Sora 'gain, then kissed Guy 'n' Megumi 'n' Hiiragi. Still don' see th' big deal 'bout it.

Uuuuugh- Somethin' wrong. Reno scratched me, smell weird.

Need to turn down th' light. I think 'm hungry. Rudy said t' stay inside. Don' go out.

[OoC: Currently Class C, turning into class D. As a result of this with Reno. Poke at will?]

[Voice Post]

Huh, I guess Christmas would be different depending on whether you're in the City or not, huh? I guess that makes sense. Does the whole . . . feeling of the holiday change?

So, these lists are supposed to go to Santa, right? I heard he only fulfills them for people who've been good, though. I guess that means I wouldn't get anything anyways, depending on who you ask.

[semi-long pause] For everyone to realize that we have A heart.

[OoC: Strike is attempted to be filtered from the Organization, but the boy doesn't know how to filter. So it's immensely viewable.]
