♪ sixty-fifth water clone [voice]

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?

Yes. Where I live?

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.]}

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

_{[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...

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.

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!

[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It took awhile to figure out how to configure this outdated machinery, but I suppose beggars can't be choosers.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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

_{[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?

Edited 2012-06-15 03:45 (UTC)

So you would say: Mein Name ist Demyx.

Was tun Sie für Ihren Lebensunterhalt?

Mein... Name ist Demyx? Like that?

Uhh... Leben... Leben... That sounds like Leaving. Are you asking me to leave something?

'Living'. What do you do for a living?

Oh. Uhm...

_{[Come on, think, think! What were the words he picked up from sailors that sounded sort of like that? Okay, he couldn't remember off hand so he goes with the first thing he can pull out;]}

Jeg er... _{[It doesn't sound anything like what Alister was speaking.]} Jeg er musician?

Musician? Hm.

Try this: Ich bin ein Musiker.

Ich bin ein Musi-- Wait, wait, ich? That's a fish disease!

...do you want to learn, or not?

[Look at him, just bleeding compassion.]
