argh no I said I was leaving this fandom forever go away [homeless] [singularity, maybe?]

[scheminghottea]

Well, I appreciate that you've given me the time of day again, I suppose? Though I have to agree with your assessment of the situation. You're out of practice, you hardly have any free time, you haven't played the three most recent games, much as you'd like to, and we both know watching videos is quite a poor substitute for direct experience.

Still, I... wouldn't be opposed to returning with you. It's been a long time, hasn't it? We first met all the way back in 2005... seven years. Nearly as long as I was...

Well.

Do I call you "old friend" then, or is that your word for me?

Patience. You'll have to wait till July, anyway. And, well, knowing you, by then you'll have forgotten all about me. I don't begrudge you that, of course, you have your own ambitions, your own projects, and by all means: your life before mine.

...

But yes. All that being said, I'd love to return. And to such a place as you're considering..! A universe that operates on entirely different scientific principles than what I'm used to, a place ripe for study! And even more fascinating, all those conflicting personalities, all those different hearts forced to work together... all those people from all those worlds! Ha, Even would no doubt have a heart attack just from all the possibilities it would represent.

Take your time. It's still wonderful to be back--in all ways.

Ahahaha, 'heart attack' that's a good one, you're punny dude.

[scheminghottea]

I...
...
That... huh. The pun was unintended. ... but rather amusing when I think about it.

Did you wake back up as well? ... and then it occurs to me that I don't know your true name. Hm.

[dancewaterdance]

I'm like certain pathogens dude, I never really go away, I just lay in wait until it's time to strike again. But you know what the poets say, gotta get up to get down with the sickness.

Duh, it's Demyx, Zexion!

... and NOW I realize that despite changing the icons, I'd neglected to change the "Name" field :\

[scheminghottea]

[he smirks at the music reference, but... then frowns at the mention of that other name]

But it's... oh.

... I'm... no, it's not Zexion anymore, Demyx.

Fttt, I honestly didn't check, Demyx just goes with Nobody Names

[dancewaterdance]

Sure you are! What else would you be? Dude you didn't change your name to some weird symbol right because I don't want to call you The Scientist Formally Known As Zexion because that is just a mouthful. That's absurd, Zexion. It is absurd and I won't do it.

Mostly because I'll forget.

I figured, but that reminded me haha

[scheminghottea]

... it's Ienzo again, Demyx. The labcoat didn't tip you off? Then again, you were never very good at recon...

I have my heart back.

[dancewaterdance]

Yeah that's what I said. [Duh.]

Don't be silly dude you're acting like we didn't have them before.

[scheminghottea]

... yes, okay, fine, I admit, you were right about that. In the end. I still feel very stupid about that. But I mean.

[Way to deflate his Shocking Revelation, man. You are harshing his vibe here.]

... right.

[dancewaterdance]

[That is pretty much Demyx's job here, aside from slacking off. He's got two jobs on this ship in this castle.]

YES, I WAS TOTALLY RIGHT- Wait what?

[scheminghottea]

I said you were right, and Xemnas was wrong, and he lied to us, and I.

[long

long

pause]

I was. ... [UH]

I miscalculated.

And I am sorry, I should have listened to you, really, but you know, we all get so caught up in our science and our calculation that we tend to forget what we're doing and... er.

[don't infodump him SMALL WORDS]

[dancewaterdance]

[Demyx raises his hand for a high-five?




But not too high, shortie.]

[scheminghottea]

[OH COME ON HE GOT TALLER

SORTA

not that short




dammit still taller than Roxas]

[also what is this strange gesture? ... wait... it's a... oh]

[YES LET US HI-FIVE]

[dancewaterdance]

[Congratulations, Ienzo, on being taller than the shortest 13 year old on the team. Good job.] BAM! [Yes, Demyx sound-effected that high-five.]

Haha yeah!

But seriously dude I'm kind of a pathological liar sometimes, I was right? Whoa, mindwarp.
