[network] [video] @Nocturne; Night 010 [open]

[melodiouspacifist]

[The video feed comes on. Maybe it's someone recognizable, maybe not. Demyx hasn't met everyone yet, he's only talked to a handful of people. He's curled up as tight as he can be because it's freezing, just like every other night. His breath is coming out in little white puffs and he looks a little glassy eyed.

Just figuring out this much, how to broadcast, was a bit of a challenge. He draws himself up, looking into the camera, hopefully people can see his face and what he looks like.]

I need some help.

[He pauses for a moment.]

I don't know what's going on and I'm...

[Is this thing even working?]

Do you know who I am in there?

[Lea looks surprised, then a big smile splits his face.]

Demyx! Boy, is it good to see you. I was hoping you'd come back like Clayton did. I'm not really sure what's going on with all this people dying and coming back nonsense, either, but I'm glad you're okay.

video forever

[melodiouspacifist]

[Demyx looks confused but he smiles a little that someone is happy to see him. That's good, this person must know him.]

Demyx...?

I think I'm okay. I'm really cold. Like this place doesn't have warmth. And..and who are you?

[promises_to_keep]

[Lea arches one eyebrow, then gives him an unimpressed look.]

Hah hah, very funny.

[melodiouspacifist]

I don't really think it's funny...

[He's mostly confused, and a Nobody popsicle.]

I feel weird too.

[promises_to_keep]

[Lea frowns a bit, then gives a nervous sort of laugh. This... this is a joke, right?]

Yeah, I don't really think it's funny either, so knock it off. I've already been through the My Friend Doesn't Remember Me schtick, okay? So, you got me, you really had me going, but you can stop now.

video; @LINK

[tapferkeit]

[ Despite staying in the same place as Lea, Link had missed his reaction to this guy. Probably because he's in a different room.

He looks at Demyx with a frank openness, eyes roaming all over his face and trying to commit him to memory. Had he seen anyone like this over the Gossip Phones before? It was hard to think. He certainly hadn't spoken to him over them.

After a while: ]

No.

[ It's flat and honest, but definitely not helpful. Still, something in Demyx's tone (let alone his body language) gets through to Link, and he frowns, tilting his head. ]

Do you?

Video

[melodiouspacifist]

[He droops a little disappointed that he doesn't know because the only thing worse than being frozen is the lack of answers, although hopefully the redhead will tell him more.]

I...don't know who I am.

Video

[tapferkeit]

[ Links ears drop downwards as his expression falls into one of sympathy, giving him a slightly comical expression of sadness. ]

Sorry.

... Do you know anything?

Video

[melodiouspacifist]

I really don't. I know I'm cold. Freezing, actually. I can see my breath...I stopped shaking awhile ago. It's kind of dark in here...

[He muses and then shakes his head.]

That's about it.

Video

[tapferkeit]

[ His face turns serious. If he was so cold he stopped shaking, that wasn't a good sign. Link didn't know the inner workings of the body, but Navi had told him that shivering kept a person warm. ]

Is there something you can wrap yourself in?

Or to start a fire with?

[ Both would be best. ]

video; @SummerVacation

[desenchanter]

[ He's not... so sure about this. But Lea is being friendly towards him... Maybe he should too, Demyx was never out and out terrible to him... ]

Hi. [ The most awkward and mistrusting 'hi' ever. ] Your memory should come back, everybody feels weird when they first wake up again.

Video

[melodiouspacifist]

[He leans a little forward. He should realize Roxas' tone isn't trusting, but he doesn't. It's not clicking for him.]

You think so? I really can't remember anything I just...woke up here. It's really cold and I have this thing and I've got this feeling in my chest. It's...weird. [He puts his head over the left side of his chest.]

Video

[desenchanter]

[ Ah geeze. Roxas's vague and unconvincing half a smile flags even further. ]

I... wouldn't know about that. [ He might, but... he just doesn't want to be the one. ] The, uh... church is kind of creepy though. I didn't like it there either. It'll throw you out in the morning.

Video

[melodiouspacifist]

[Demyx accepts his answer at face value since he has no idea who Roxas is either, he has no reason to suspect him of skirting the truth.]

I think it's okay. Maybe a little creepy because it's kind of dark in here and cold...Where do I go in the morning?

Video

[desenchanter]

There are some houses within a day's walk, if you go south past the lake. I, uh...

[ Man. His conscience is telling him to do something he's not entirely sure he wants... to do... ]

I'm not too far away from there.

video - @claytonator

[dr_unconscious]

[Someone listed on the obituaries suddenly revived with retrograde amnesia? Well, this sounds familiar. Perhaps a little too much--surely he and Demyx didn't both suffer from the same extremely selective hypothermia-induced brain damage he initially hypothesized, right? And he most certainly couldn't have mind-wandered.]

[Probably.]

[Okay if he did he's the first other person Clayton's met who can do that, and that's a big deal, but not jumping to conclusions yet. Going the standard doctor route and assuming he got hit in the head. That's a good place to start.]

Hey there! [Friendly, relaxed, reassuring--when you've got no other memories to work with, Clayton figures being met with that kind of greeting is better than the concerned alarm he's actually feeling.] I'm Clayton. Now I know this don't make a lotta sense, but we'll figure it out, alright? Jus' work with me here and we'll get ya all squared away. Sound good to you?

[Yes, he's laying it on a bit thick. Baby steps. Don't want to overwhelm the poor guy.]

Video

[melodiouspacifist]

[He doesn't look too overwhelmed at least, just very cold and somewhat confused. He peers at the man on the screen. He seems nice and relaxed.]

Clayton...do I know you?

[He nods a little, that does sound pretty good, the idea of sorting things out properly.]

[dr_unconscious]

[Clayton chuckles lightly, partially to keep that relaxed veneer, partially because he's a little nervous.]

Eh...not that I'm aware. But we can go ahead and fix that up right now, now can't we?

What's it yer wantin' t' know?

[melodiouspacifist]

I just thought you might have known me since you answered me. Lea says my name is Demyx...I don't know anything more than that.

[He tilts his head a bit.]

I don't really know what I'm supposed to ask new people I meet. I really don't remember much at all.

[dr_unconscious]

[Well, that's a better start than Clayton was originally anticipating, even with the level of memory loss he's dealing with. Bless Lea for getting to him ahead of time.]

That much, eh? [Clayton bites his lip.] Well that ain't too much of a problem--when ya meet someone new, you typically ask questions 'bout 'em to get to know 'em better. So you'd ask 'bout me--say, why I'm answerin'. Answer is, I'm just that kinda guy.

[He chuckles. Okay, okay, maybe Demyx isn't in a position to get that kind of humor, but that was mostly for Clayton.]

--Also I'm a doctor. 'S my job t' make sure y'all 're comfy 'n safe. So then I'd ask-- [here Clayton gestures with both hands pointing to himself, for emphasis] --are ya somewhere safe? Looks like yer indoors, 'least?

[trybelieving]

[Tinker Bell doesn't know him, but she can't ignore anyone in need of help. She uses her device to make herself visible to the stranger on the screen.]

I don't know you, but - what sort of help are you looking for?

[If there's a way she can prove it, she will.]

video

[melodiouspacifist]

I'm not really sure. I'm trapped somewhere dark and alone...I can't get out. The doors are locked. And I'm really really cold. I don't know what's going on. Maybe I panicked? I also feel kind of weird.

[He sighs.]

I'm not sure I'm making sense.

video

[trybelieving]

You wouldn't want to go outside when the doors are locked, you won't be able to get in.

[Not much about this place does make sense, so Tink can only nod her understanding.]

Do you have anything you can use to get warm?

video

[melodiouspacifist]

No, nothing. Just my coat which seems thick and warm but I'm so cold I don't think it's helping much. It's just kind of dark and scary in here. I'm alone...I think.

[He feels like he's been alone for awhile.]

video

[trybelieving]

Have you looked around to make sure? I found a friend of mine in one of these houses. I don't know that this place is as empty as it seems.

{Not with people appearing in all sorts of places.]
