♪ sixty-fifth water clone [voice]

[ninthserenade]

Hey Vatheon, I, uh... I got a weird question. I'm still trying to figure out the whole 'feelings' thing even after being here for over a year and a half so I'm sort of at a crossroads here. There's someone I care about but I don't really know how to show 'em how much I appreciate their friendship. _{Actually, after last week it feels like it's startin' to become more than that... It's probably a bad idea.} Got any pointers for a guy?

... Ich bin niemand, der Vater. Somehow, I sincerely doubt that.

[ninthserenade]

...Dude, I have no idea what you just said.

_{[A beat.]}

But whatever it is, teach me. A-And you really, really don't know my old man. He was crazy optimistic.

[double_edged]

Ich weiß nicht. So etwas kann Jahre dauern von der Praxis, und Sie wissen nicht wie der Patient Art scheinen. Ratchet ist kaum in der Lage zu begreifen, wie es ist.

...She pisses night we 'der shiny? Wha--?

_{[HE IS NOT EVEN TWELVE AND WHAT IS THIS.]}

[double_edged]

Haben Sie Probleme?

[ninthserenade]

Oh, that's it!

<sub>[YEAH HE'LL JUST.

SWITCH TO ATLANTICAN NOW.]</sub>

You and your weird language!

[Video - locked]

[double_edged]

Ach, Sie haben einige Tricks im Ärmel zu, wie ich sehe.

Dies ist, was ich über nicht aufzugeben bedeutete.

[ninthserenade]

Look at me, I'm Alister! I'm old and fat and I'm speaking in a language that you can't understand!

_{[Demyx pls]}

[Oh hi.

Guess who turned on his translator at that particular comment.]

That isn't very polite.

[Video - locked]

[ninthserenade]

You started it!

[Video - locked]

[double_edged]

Did you want to learn or not?

Re: [Video - locked]

[ninthserenade]

Wel--Yeah! But not like that!

[Video - locked]

[double_edged]

Alright, alright.

Come to the junkyard and I'll see what I can do.

[Video - locked]

[ninthserenade]

Junkyard?

[Video - locked]

[double_edged]

Yes. Where I live?

[Video >> action]

[ninthserenade]

That's kind of a depressing name for the place, but I'll be there in five.

_{[And he'll be showing up via that handy dandy creepy portal of darkness.]}

[action]

[double_edged]

[And when Demyx eventually does arrive, two golden, robot eyes will rise from the surface, 'blinking' down at the Nobody and focusing in.]

[action]

[ninthserenade]

_{[Yeah, he's just going to stare at them for a bit. It's okay if he pokes at one, right? Poke-poke.]}

...That's weird...

[action]

[double_edged]

Stop that.

[Alister's voice comes over the intercom, and the robotic eyes start to slink away from the door's path, the steel door hissing as the mechanism is released, and it opens.]

Come on in, and don't touch anything.

[action]

[ninthserenade]

Can I touch the floor?

_{[But he's not even waiting for an answer because holy carp that is like something out of a sci-fi movie and he is going to pretty much frolic inside. This is awesome. Alister why are you so awesome. Stop it.]}

Dude! Holy crap!

[action]

[double_edged]

[And like a badass, he's waiting just as the door's opening up, standing just feet in front of Demyx with his arms folded over his chest.]

It took awhile to figure out how to configure this outdated machinery, but I suppose beggars can't be choosers. I'm just glad it's working.

[With that, the Lombax steps aside to let his companion inside, a slight smirk on his face.]

Mind the mess. I haven't had the chance to clean up yet.

[action]

[ninthserenade]

Just as long as I don't end up sitting on a nail or anything like that. I never got my tetanus shot. ...Or my flu shot. Or any shot, really.

_{[A beat.]}

Did you build those weird eye things out there?

[action]

[double_edged]

I promise - everything within these walls is clean and sterile. And even if you were to become ill, I'm currently working on how to recreate Nanotech here.

[The General's hands are behind his back, leading the Nobody into his den.]

Everything you see, I created. I wasn't exaggerating when I said Lombaxes could build almost anything, you know.

[action]

[ninthserenade]

Nanotech, huh? _{[He twirls around in a circle every few steps to observe the room, his hands stuffed into his pockets until he nearly trips over his own shoelaces.]} Whoa--...What about music instruments? Can you guys make those?

[action]

[double_edged]

You don't seem to be able to grasp the concept of anything, do you? Whatever you can suggest, I can provide. It's as simple as that.

[And here, he'll gesture for the Nobody to sit on the makeshift couch, brushing a few smaller projects out of the way. Alister why would you ever need a crotchitizer. It's not all that comfortable, being made from old blankets and steel, but it's something.]

Though I'm afraid when it comes to the language, I can only offer some notes from my sessions with Ratchet. I hope that'll be enough.
