A testing ground for Demmy and the Deegans.

[donovan_deegan]

Yes, the man who just came out of the welcome bay was most certainly wearing a shockingly pink jacket. Under it, he had been wearing a black shirt, but now hit was over one arm to show off the odd looking tattoo over his whole chest. A Kelsheen mark. Never knew when it would be useful. He had his axe in one hand. He was ready to shred, if he could find someone to jam with.

Yeah, the man had just been kidnapped. He looked remarkably calm about it, in fact, he seemed almost cheerful. He found a seat after a bit, pulled his axe into his lap, and then started playing, watching people to see who might come near, and figuring out who he could ask for more information than the projection had given him.

Question number one being.... where was Miranda?

"Is that your job?" He grinned. That sounded like the best job ever!

"Music clubs sound fun."

[donovan_deegan]

"Bard, diplomat, Miranda's arm candy. All of the above," he said with a wink. "And being a Bard is an awesome job. A lot of training, but well worth every minute of it."

[melodiouspacifist]

"It sounds pretty cool." Demyx grinned, admitting that.

"I've never thought about getting a job like that. You like it, huh?"

[donovan_deegan]

"I love it," he said, earnestly. "And if you like music so much, why haven't you tried your hand at the bardic arts? Keeps life from being too one-note."

[melodiouspacifist]

"I had a job of sorts before I got taken here." Demyx commented thoughtfully.

"And I don't really know, not in line with what the Superior wanted."

[donovan_deegan]

"And this... superior is superior in what way, exactly?" he asked. "Better at Sitar than you?"

[melodiouspacifist]

He laughed. "What? No. Definitely not." Demyx giggled at the thought of Xemnas playing sitar. It would never happen.

"He's just the Superior. The head of our Organization. My boss, so to speak." There were a lot of things he could add to that now, but he was trying to put it out of his mind for a moment.

[donovan_deegan]

"Uh huh. You like the job?"

[melodiouspacifist]

He shook his head. "Nope. Not really. But he's my Superior and I do what he tells me to."

[donovan_deegan]

"And you can't quit because....?"

[melodiouspacifist]

Demyx smiled and shrugged. "It's not that kind of job, really."

[donovan_deegan]

"Well, I love a good story, lay it on me."

[melodiouspacifist]

"It's not really a good story or anything." He smiled and shrugged. "That would be more interesting if it was. It's just the Superior is in charge and he gives me missions to do and I do them. I mean, Lea told me some things but I don't really know what to do with all that."

[donovan_deegan]

"Well, maybe I can help. But at the root, it sounds like you have all you need to just leaf. Unless he has more bite than bark?"

[melodiouspacifist]

"Yeah, and he does a lot of rambling, but leaving would make me a traitor." Demyx commented.

"No matter what Lea said, that...will still be true."

He may have been developing traitorous resentment.

[donovan_deegan]

"Unless you're giving him goods in exchange for your resignation, I can safely say you're not a trader."

Grin.

[melodiouspacifist]

Demyx replied by merely offering a smile and a shrug. His puns were certainly silly, after all.

[donovan_deegan]

"Is this boss of yours here? I think I'd like to meet him."

[melodiouspacifist]

He shook his head. "No, if he was, we wouldn't be speaking."

Demyx couldn't imagine Xemnas changing his tune if he came to that world and suddenly allowing him to try and regrow his heart.

[donovan_deegan]

"You and him? Sounds good. But I certainly could. And if he's not here, guess you don't have to work for him til he is."

[melodiouspacifist]

"No, I mean you and I." He smiled again like it was a defense mechanism and waved his hand.

"We're not really supposed to get involved with anyone."

[donovan_deegan]

"Uh huh. Well you can take comfort. I'm already happily married." Not what you meant by getting married, too bad. He was going to grin and give you a hard time anyway.

Wow, he could feel Miranda glaring at him from here....

[melodiouspacifist]

"What?"

He needed a moment to process that and he blinked, eyes widening. "Oh! Oh! That wasn't what I meant. I mean...uh...I don't know if he'd care about...that, I mean maybe he would? I never asked!"

He looked like he was backpeddling, quick.

[donovan_deegan]

Donovan was laughing, and slapped him on the shoulder. "I was kidding. I know that's not what you meant, but I'd like to know what you did> mean, however."

[melodiouspacifist]

He smiled, relieved, at least he wasn't being misunderstood.

"I'm not supposed to talk to people, really, unless it's mission-related. The Superior doesn't like it. We're sort of supposed to just stick with other Nobodies."
