[Scene: The City beach. Enter, stage right: A hooded figure, holding a strange blue instrument. The figure looks back and forth a few times before throwing its hood back, revealing a perhaps familiar blonde with an odd hairstyle. He grins widely.]

No way! The City?

[He strums a few notes on his sitar and a few columns of water shoot up, Demyx seemingly riding on the top a couple of feet along the shoreline.]

Woo! Yeah, come on! Ah- hey, network device. Cool, the same one I used to have.

[He bends down to the video feed, waving.]

Hey, City. Remember me? I’m Demyx. Anyone here that I remember? Curt? Stephan? Campbell? Neil? Reno? Hanna? Machi? Megumi? Misao? Carl?

Su Anyone from the Organization?

Well, I’ll find you guys, huh? Dance, water, dance!

[He plays his instrument some more, and there appear about a dozen or so replicas of himself formed out of water, and they woosh off with a wave of his hand. The feed ends.]

[/Video Post]

[OoC: Feel free to have a water clone to essentially dance with you whether or not he knew you before. Also, names in no particular order; I pretty much just did it as far as ‘people who were important to him’ as I remembered them.]

[Oh, hey. Penny remembers being way confused by this guy.]

Hey, Demyx. It's Penny... I don't know if you'd really remember me.

[Yeah, get in line, Penny.]

Penny! Hey, of course I do. It's not every day someone who isn't Xigbar threatens to shoot me. [Said in the same tone as someone would, "it's not every day someone is so nice/pretty/helpful".]

How are you? Did you get to stay here all the time I was gone?

I threatened to shoot--oh, yeah. I remember you telling me about that.

[Demyx is one of very few people who knew Penny before she left and came back without those memories. That's part of the reason he confused her. Far from the ONLY reason, but definitely a part of it.]

I'm good! [Lies.] Yep, I've been here every single day since the last time you were here. Hey, have you found somewhere to crash yet?

[Oh, right, that memory loss thing. He'd forgotten (haha) about that.]

Ah, that's great! Anything new in the City?

[Wait, crash, he knows this, he can do this- Right!] Well, I live in-

Oh, I mean. Uh. I lived in- Wonder if it's still empty. I think I do, I need to go check, though. ~~I haven't seen Roxas yet, but-~~

Well... we have new overlords. The Anonymous Movement overthrew the Deities, and they seem pretty okay. They haven't stopped the curses, but they're trying.

[He is so confusing.]

If wherever it is you used to live doesn't work out, the Welcome Center has spare beds, okay?

The An- Wait, what? The deities are gone? When'd that happen?

[So is everyone else, to him.]

Oh. Uh, yeah, alright, I guess.

Last year. August, I think?

Demyx, are you okay? I've heard it can be really disorienting, coming back after being out for a while.

Wow. Is there a new guide or something?

Huh? [Oh, right. Very nice Penny.] Yeah, I mean, the City's great! And, you know, being dead, but out of the City was kinda bad, but it's great being back!

I mean, I guess it'd just be weird, not being in my old apartment. You know?

No one's come up with one lately. Sorry about that.

[Wow, topic jump!]

I bet there's no one living in your old place. It's probably just the way you left it.

Well, alright. What's the new guys' deal?

[He may be tactless, but he doesn't even notice it. And he's grinning again at Penny's other words.]

Yeah! Me too. Oh- uh, hey, do you wanna come over sometime?

They're trying to stop the curses and get everyone out of the City. Not everyone's huge on that idea since not everyone has a place outside of here, but I think they mean well. They're nice enough, anyway.

Hm? Oh, sure! Not that I can make water dance or anything cool.
