Demyx placed his hands over his face for a second wishing he was somewhere else. Why did Xemnas have to be so cruel and not understanding? "Oh that's right he doesn't have a heart and therefore he can't feel or care about what I say," Demyx thought to himself as he could only remain in one area while judgement awaited. "Boss I wasn't in anyway being rude. I was simply asking questions that I don't understand. It could be from the earlier incounter. I haven't recovered fully from that," his eyes were sincere like of a puppy. "Give me the benefit of the doubt." Demyx slowly inhaled and exhaled emphazing his point. "Why would I be rude to someone who could end my very well extistence? I may not be like the other members who are calculating and good fighters, but I do have some good traits that the others don't have. For one thing I can be trusted," he smiled sadly and for a moment it did make him forget how much trouble he was in. "I know I may not be important at all to this organization, but if there is one thing I learned it has taught me to be strong and stay out of the other organization members' ways." He took another breath before reciting what he wanted to say. "There is more to my extistence than getting hearts," he looked down at his feet after tapping his fingers on his throne. His head suddendly rose when he felt the presence of the savage nymph and lo and behold there she was sitting all high and mighty on her throne on the other side of the room. Her eyes were sparkling with interest and the musician could tell that her presence meant trouble. His eyes widended and his lip quivered when he heard Xemnas ask Larxene to tell her side of the story. "She's gonna get me killed," his mind raced from within. Gripping his armrests, his instincts told him that his end was near if she exposed his secret. "I've got to stop this from happening, but how? If I don't I could be eliminated," he imagined his spirit fading away into nothingness. "It's now or never. I have no choice," he summoned forth his sitar and held it close to him ready to defend himself at a moments notice. "Larxene, he narrowed his eyes at her and extended his finger to her as his emotionless entity revealed itself. "Tell him the basics and don't go into details. Begin with my demeanor towards you when I first saw you today and go from there. Do not play the victim and don't you dare lie. The superior does not want to have to make you pay the price again for your disregard towards him." Bringing his arm back to his chest, he held the sitar in his lap and kept his hands on the length of the weapon. In a matter of seconds he could summon forth a blast of water if need be depending on how the outcome turned out.
Ditto. I stay away from the crazy loonies out there that will fight you tooth and nail for a parking spot and give you the evil eye if you happened to grab something that they spotted. It's unbelievable that people would act like wild animals when there are good deals.
Demyx turned around and looked at the stranger before him. "Who are you? I've never seen or heard about you in my life," he brought his sitar closer to him. "I see you have a keyblade though."
I don't know why people are even discussing this. Quinton Flynn did a great job voicing Axel and it is true that Axel is much darker than he was in Kingdom Hearts II so it fit accordindly. I'm glad that he wasn't being friendly to Sora and that he simply tolerated the other members. Remember all of the organization members have their own intentions. I like all the voices in fact and if people don't like it then that's their fault. You can't please everyone.
You could always download a version, but it's best to buy the software.
I would run a virus scan either with mcafee or norton and make sure to clear your temporay files. They should be done every month at least. If that doesn't work, try turning off your computer, waiting a minute and then turn on the computer.
In my opinion the characters with the coolest hair are Axel, Demyx, Cloud,and Xemnas.
The ninth member looked at the destruction he caused in his wake and shrugged his shoulders. "The life of a nobody...," he sighed as he sat down on the cement of a water fountain and began playing his sitar losing himself in the peaceful world of it.
(OOC: Actually the organization members are in Xemnas's throne room. As for the Sora post an idea would be to call Cloud and Leon either with a phone or some message device. I enjoy answering your questions. It allows the members and myself to assist. Feel free to ask away anytime you like.) Casting his blue orbs at Leon, the troubled blonde nodded his head. "Yeah," he looked down at the ground. He should of known for Leon to say something like that. Why would he think different otherwise? Of course they both were heros and the good guys, but Cloud possessed the darkness in his heart which made him have those negative feelings. He knew the organization was everyone's worst nightmare, but surely not all of them were that bad. He remembered Sora talking to Leon about them which led to his interest. Was he in a way similar to them based on his thoughts or was he simply not thinking clearly? Only time would tell, but there was one thing for certain and that was to discover more about Organization XIII. Clousd tapped his comlink making sure that the volume was up so he could hear it. "I wonder why he hasn't called yet?" His tone was somber and serious. Placing his right pointer finger to his chin, the young ninth member of the organization thought about Xioimara's suggestion. The more he thought about it, the calmer he became. "That would be great if I didn't have to battle and could heal, but I know the boss would not approve of that. After all, I have to fight in order to get hearts," he sighed deeply while placing his hand on his hip. "I guess I could accompany another member, but I would just screw things up anyway," shrugging his shoulders, his eyes starred at Xigbar and then Axel as he crossed his arms in a pouting fashion. "Don't get me starrted on that brat," he referred to Sora. "He only defeated me because of his lame friends." Demyx whom acted like a child in a teenager/young adult's body, heard what Axel had mentioned about Marluxia. Axel held so much hatred for the pink haired nobody that it was justified he would act in a harsh manner. "Axel, that's in the past. Yeah I know he was a traitor, but he's back now and should be here with the rest of us and so should the others. Traitors or not they were still brought back for a reason," his attempt felt like it was knocking on trouble's door. "Anyway I heard what you said and I'll try to keep that in mind," he tapped his foot growing impatient. "Man, where is the boss already?"
Shutting his eyes for a few seconds and then opening them, Demyx realized that his time had come. It was like facing judgement for the very act he committed and all because he wanted to prove to Larxene that he could be taken seriously and hold his own. Sure she was more skilled at fighting than him due to her facination with torturing others in a sadistic fashion and her intolernable acts of deceit to get her way and rise above the rest, but the nocturne also possessed the same traits of deceit and could fool anyone with his "nice guy" routine and reveal his emotionless, dangerous, and ruthless side to his advarasaries. He tapped his fingers on his throne thinking of how to respond to Xemnas and without lying to him for that would be a very dangerous act on his part and would bring forth more trouble. "I'm so dead. What am I going to say to the boss?" he almost bit his nails as he thought to himself while trying to remain calm. He thought of Larxene for a second since she was in the back of his mind which made him hestinate to answer. "Yeah I did follow her back to her room and did confront her and... " he stopped in mid sentence not wanting to give out to much information that would expose his secret. "But then I was in pain from you hurting me so maybe I was acting dillusional? "Why is it so important? Why would you even be concerned about me or her anyway? You don't care about any of us since we don't have hearts right so why should you be concerned about what I do?" He hoped stalling would give him some time to think of how to get out the mess he gotten himself into and if Xemnas would simply let up due to being exasperated by Demyx's foolish antics. He hoped his plan would work and get him out of this jam that could of easily been prevented if he didn't confront her and if she didn't insult him or threatned to kill him and therefore the confrontation would of never happened. "So... what else is there to say? Let me think..." he was embarrased a bit, but more angry by the thought of having to go through with this. And why did it have to be someone such as himself who was more of a pacifist? "Why me?" he thought over and over again in his mind. The big difference between Demyx and Larxene was that that the nocturne didn't enjoy fighting and hated to do so. He hated to cause harm to others just for the benefit of the organization, but it was the only way to surive aganist a bunch of emotionless beings. He knew he was supposed to be just like them, heartless, evil without having regard for human life and in a way he was with his other side exposed, but the ninth member knew that he had more good in him then all of them put together on account of his musical peaceful nature where he would lose himself in the beauty and peace of his sitar hoping one day to acquire a heart and remember any other memories he had once known. He was indeed the "black sheep" in the organization and that was because he felt he did feel all sorts of emotions such as anger, fear, happiness, sadness and even pride. So how can Xemnas say that he didn't have any feelings? It didn't make any sence to him and probaly never will. Demyx could tell that Xemnas by his frightening gaze was growing impatient and so he was forced to answer his boss's questions in a way that would be satisfactory. Adjusting himself on his throne, he stretched his arms out and let them fall back on his armrests. "About the other stuff..." he started to say holding his right hand out and withdrawing it back to his chest... "I didn't think anyone was listening to me when I was talking out loud and I thought you and the others would ignore me. I didn't mean to be rude and I'm sorry for my interruptions. At times I just don't think things through." He paused to take a breath before continuing once again. "When I left the meeting I did it to get something to eat since I was starving. In fact that's how this whole problem happened. I went in the kitchen and smelled some food that Larxene was making and I said hello to her and she was very rude to me and threatend to kill me by my prescense. Then we got into it and then you practically maimed the both of us." He grinned sheepishly a bit and placed his right hand to his chin. "But you already knew that didn't you?" His smile faded for he knew he couldn't keep up this charade for long. "What I'm trying to say is this isn't entirely my fault and that Larxene should answer to you as well," he pointed to her empty seat with his right finger pointed . " Please tell me you're finished with asking me questions? I'm not feeling well," he cupped his hands together as in prayer.
Cloud looked back at Leon and shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows what we'll find?" he took one large gulp of water and swallowed, wiping his saliva off the nozzle. He got on his bike, placed on his helmet and starrted up the engine. "Ok stay close," he yelled so Leon could hear him as he headed towards a vortex that would take them to Twilight Town. The vortex didn't seem to close for some odd reason and by passing through, he entered through the Corridor of Darkness. Cloud knew about how strange this between world was and what it was capable of. Reving up the engine, he increased his speed, flying through onto the other side. Leaning his weight forward on the vehicle and checking one of his mirrors making sure Leon was keeping up with him, he entered Twilight Town and made it to the mansion. Demyx who had watched Axel's painful encounterment, knew the fire wielder meant business. Feeling fear, he swallowed not wanting to get maimed or burnt to a crisp even though the leather cloak he wore did protect him from the other nobodies' elements. "No that's all right Axel," he shouted not wanting to entice the wrath of his superior. "Look I was just showing you what I can do that's all. We both know you're going to win anyway, so I'll end it if you will ok?"with his hand stretched out, he placed his sitar in a upright postition letting Axel know he wanted to quit. "We have to go see what the other members are up to? I haven't heard anything from the boss in a long time," he panted from being exhausated from their fight that he hoped would stop. "Our servants should of came back as well so I don't know what is going on especially with this new enemy?" The boss needs to tell us more about what we're up against," he continued to talk.
Cloud waited for his comlink communicator to beep as he paced the ground. "Oh come on Sora. I know you're going to call Leon or I because of the appearance of Organization XIII. You're so predictable," Cloud was talking out loud to himself as he quickned his pace. Running his hand through his hair, he sighed and wondered if they should meet up with Sora or not? "Leon, I don't know about you, but I'm tired of feeling like a recluse and feeling like a black sheep. Everyone except a certain few and yourself think I'm nothing, but bad luck and all because of Sephiroth," he faced a wall and hit on it as hard as he could. Feeling pain, he shook his hand, and shrugged off the pain. "I'm only getting worse and I'm not sure if I belong here or thought," he spoke to himself feeling depressed. Demyx's eyes focused on Xigbar as he tried to forget about his predictament. "You always get carried away. Can't you ever just let things go?" he stretched out his right hand and swiped it to the left that symbolized an imaginary ocean that was calm. His azure eyes gazed at Xioimara and he smiled afterwards letting her know that he appreciated her comment. "Yeah you're welcome. It took me a while to master that abilitiy. I like to think of myself as a healer rather than a fighter," he sighed glad he was able to do one thing right that the organization approved of. "Being a healer does come in handy especially when you're up against the likes of tougher higher members," he was referring to Xigbar and Axel as his azure orbs traveled in their locations. "So," he began striking a conversation with her, "are you here because the boss wanted to talk to you too? I believe all of us were to meet with him right here. Everyone else is supposed to be here even Larxene, Marluxia, Zexion, Vexen and the rest. I know he's not pleased with me though. I hope he is leniant," his mind began to race once more. "I hope he shows mercy towards me," Demyx was like a child awaiting punishement for his mistakes.
Back in Hollow Bastion, Demyx walked along the streets with his hood on so no one would know who he was. All he heard were people screaming at the presence of an organization member in their town. He shrugged as several townspeople closed their doors and locked them. "Oh no Organization XIII! How pathetic," he said quietly as others almost ran through him. He wondered when the gummi ship would return and when it did Sora and his friends would have a huge mess on their hands.
(OOC: Ok thanks for telling us.) Demyx knew that he was now alone and that Saix had indeed desserted him along with the other members. "Figures," he sighed knowing that other members also ditched him since he couldn't do anything right. "So why am I destroying this town for if no other member here to watch me do it?" he placed his sitar away and ceased with the destruction. "I'm all alone," he cast his eyes down to the ground.
Demyx shrugged his shoulders not caring what Axel said or not. Of course he cared about him, but he didn't know how to express it and if he did then Axel would most likely judge him and call him a fool or something in that regard. "Lets just say I wanted to. I don't want to see you like this all right?" he pulled up Axel's leather sleeve and rubbed some cream upon the injured area. "There... That wasn't so bad," he pulled the sleeve back down.
A heavy silence filled the room as the last words of Xemnas rang in the young member's ears. It was as if one was waiting in a principal's office waiting to be called in when in reality it seemed that time had come to a halt. He was now alone with no one around to look to or seek solace or comfort from. Roxas whom was silent had cast him a look of symphony and he would need all the help he could muster. Roxas was the youngest member whom Demyx had viewed as a friend and was easy to talk to, but he seemed to be closer to Axel than him for some strange reason. Maybe it was his innocence, nah that could not be it since Roxas was more tainted than Demyx with his selfish goals, but then again the musician had his own intentions in store so what exactly what was the point? Roxas had left along with Axel whom Demyx admired greatly and got into quarrels every now again due to the opposite elemental clash. Or perhaps it was Axel's pride and ego that brought out the worst in the water wielder? All of these speculations had to be post phoned on account of his dire situation; one that he hoped would not spell out his doom. On the bright side at least the scorning and spiteful twelth member was told to leave. He was safe for now as long as his dark secret was kept between them, but he knew for a fact that the ugly truth would be revealed and he would pay dearly. As the seconds ticked away, Demyx could sense the unspeakable acts that Xemnas could unleash at just the right moment. Gripping his armrests of his white marble throne, the melodious nocturne kept his emotions in tact even though his first thought would be to run away as fast as he could or in his case since he had no where to run, disappear and portal into the santuary of his room and surround his mind with the peaceful strumming of his strings on his sitar. He had to face Xemnas at all costs, even if it meant starring into those horrid orange orbs of death that burned a piece of his soul. Gathering his courage he felt if he had a heart it would be pulsating rapidly as if he ran a marathon, but alas that was what the organization lacked. Taking a deep breath, he turned his head to the left and gazed up at the highest throne where sitting proud and mighty, the leader of the organization, Xemnas sat. "You wanted to speak to me boss?" his voice was timid, yet strong for he wanted the superior to hear him. He thought of all the possibilities of why Xemnas wanted to speak to him and him alone. "What could he possibly want to talk to me about? Did I screw up again or does he know about what I did?" a cold shiver ran down his spine that caused him to shiver in fear for a minute. Shaking his head, he thought of attemping to think optimistically instead of letting his imagination run away with him. All he could do was wait patiently and time would only tell. He just hoped he wouldn't be sitting for another hour or so, but he would welcome that rather than get physically attacked by any means Xemnas could perform upon him. There was nothing worse then anticipating the outcome so Demyx knew he was already being disciplined, but he didn't know at what decree this torture would become.
(OOC: That post is fine.) Cloud sneered and pushed aside Leon's hand from his shoulder. He did not need to be reminded of those events that got him nearly kicked out of the store for fighting Sephiroth who had happened to show up while he was grocery shopping and his motorcycle to get a flat tire and later discover it when he was half way down the valley. "Leon, you didn't need to remind me of all that. I'm just sick and tired of being hated by all the residents except for you and a few others," he looked the other way as he cast his blue eyes to the west. Putting his hand back in his pocket, his fingers grasped the crumbled flyer as he with drew it again. Unraveling it, he showed the flyer to Leon. "It looks like we have bigger problems," he let him read it. "So Sora will most likely be calling us again like he always does because he can't do anything himself." The warrior of light sighed out loud, waiting for his or Leon's intercom wrist comlink to be beeped. "One of these days Sora has to learn to fight his own battles and not rely us to get him out of trouble." Seeing some of the others members present, Demyx eyed Xioimara in pain as he rested his hand on her sore body letting his soothing water flow over her to ease the agony "Hopefully that helps," he stood up from kneeling. Looking at Xigbar he sighed having a feeling the freeshooter was the one that hurt her. "Okay so what did she do to you this time?" As he waited for a response, he wondered if the other members were going to join them in the throne room? He eyed Axel who seemed to be in a pleasant mood for the time being. Demyx was thrilled that Axel had found the key that he left for him in the cell since the nocturne never believed Axel to be a traitor. Axel simply wanted a heart like they all did and seemed to have the most feelings other than the musician. "I took a huge risk leaving that key for you, but I'm glad that you're out. I bet Marluxia is still there. When I left the key for you, I saw how miserable he seemed to be. I think we could just let him out and forget this whole betrayal thing happened," Demyx said softly so not to be heard by the others.. Scratching his back, he remembered he didn't tell his friend why he was so tense. "Oh yeah I forgot," smiling sheepishly with a gleam in his eyes, his grin faded as he told him what he was nervous about. "I'm afraid the boss is going to do who knows what to me for failing so many missions and always messing up. I'm probaly in the worst trouble imaginable."
I chose the second option because it's up to the consumer for their own mistakes. If they get fat that is their own problem since they have no will power or self control. Everyone has a choice so people can't blame it on fast food industry just because it's advertised.
(OOC: Ok so what is really going on? The others are the Land of Dragons for what reason? When did Roxas get held in the Castle That Never Was?) Demyx played his sitar to where all the windows broke with the intense blast of his water and loud music. "This is to easy," he said as he kept playing. "And there is no one in sight which makes it even better," he noticed heartless coming his way and destroyed them easily with his attacks. "I wonder where Saix went off to?" he looked for his where abouts as he took a break from his musical interlude.
Demyx waited for Axel's next response and shivered. "You know Axel. Can we put this all behind us? I will if you do," he panted catching his breath. "Now I need medical attention," he looked at his injuries.
