♪ 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?

Haben Sie Probleme?

[ninthserenade]

Oh, that's it!

<sub>[YEAH HE'LL JUST.

SWITCH TO ATLANTICAN NOW.]</sub>

You and your weird language!

[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.

[action]

[ninthserenade]

Dude, anything is really, really vague. For all I know you could mean 'oh, we build crazy sexy robots' or... I dunno. Giant three-headed robot dinosaurs that sing Broadway.

_{[......Alister what is that couch that does not look very comfortable just look at his face when he sits down this is so uncomfortable his ass hurts already.]}

They say immersion is one of the best ways to learn, right? I figure if I can pick up some of the basics and go from there I might be okay.

[action]

[double_edged]

Our means of interdimensional travel was a hat, Demyx. I mean what I say.

[The General will just sit in the chair across from him, not at all bothered by the steel bindings and shoddy craftsmanship.]

Alright, then. See if you can answer this: Wie ist Ihr Name?

[action]

[ninthserenade]

_{[A hat. Yeah. He's just going to give Alister this Look. And here he thought people traveling in something called a Gummi Ship was weird...]}

Ooookay. That's weird. but, uh... I only got one word outta that, so... Demyx?

[action]

[double_edged]

So you would say: Mein Name ist Demyx.
