First Floor Lobby, evening

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

After visiting the big picnic, and picking out most of the new people by sight, Evie retired back to the dorms and settled into the lobby couch to people-watch. With a book. Or possibly, five.

"I'm not old," Demyx said, frowning a little. "But I've been here for over a year now. So I'm not new."

[by137.livejournal.com]

That made A.J. grin. He couldn't help it; it was probably exacerbated by some of the alcohol. "That's more what I meant. Not new," he nodded.

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Oh, okay. In that case...yes." Demyx nodded, not really sure what he was agreeing to - being new, or being old. He was just going with 'being'.

[by137.livejournal.com]

"And you are....?"

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Not new?" Demyx supplied helpfully.

[by137.livejournal.com]

"No, man," A.J. grinned as he shook his head. "Your name."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Oh!" Demyx grinned. "Demyx. Hi. Who're you?"

[by137.livejournal.com]

"A.J. Good too meet you."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Good to meet you, too. From anywhere interesting?" Demyx had given up hoping to meet anyone from his home universe, but some of the stories were still cool.

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Nope," A.J. said, sighing slightly. "Sorry to disappoint. Just New Jersey. You?"

And then he held up a hand. "On second thought, never mind. It's been a day ful of crazy things, so if you are from someplace like Mars, I want to spread the srangeness out over a few days if I can help it."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"No, I'm not from Mars." Demyx frowned. "What's Mars? Is it a country?"

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Um. It's a...planet, man. Fourth rock from the sun."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Never been there. But I have been to some of the other worlds. Mostly I stuck to The World That Never Was, though. More comfortable there." Demyx rubbed the back of his neck, looking away.

[by137.livejournal.com]

"World that..." A.J. blinked, and then stared at Demyx, and then shook his head. "You know, I had my fill of strange, weird stories today. The zombies at the bar did it for me, pushed me right up against that limit, sooooo...maybe we should talk later, tomorrow, or something, after sleep and resetting my weird stuff meter."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"It's weird?" Demyx blinked. "I'm more normal than some people, actually. Well, aside from some things..." He paused. "I'll hold off, though."

[by137.livejournal.com]

"We could talk about the normal stuff?" A.J. prompted. "Normal stuff is good. Like...art. Or girls. Or music, or something."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Music?" Demyx's eyes lit up. "Do you play?"

[by137.livejournal.com]

"No," A.J. laughed a little, "but I can dance. I take it you do play?"

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. It's really about all I can do." Demyx grinned, pulling his sitar out of the air. "I've kinda resigned myself to it."

[by137.livejournal.com]

A.J. blinked. "Did you just pull that out of the air, or did I just have more to drink that I thought I did?"

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Huh? Oh, this?" Demyx strummed a chord. "I control water. I made it out of the water in the air. It's really simple."

[by137.livejournal.com]

A.J. sucked in a breath. "So much for music being a safe topic."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"You mean it's not?" Demyx blinked at him. "What's your favorite kind of music?"

[by137.livejournal.com]

"

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"It's all music," Demyx told him feelingly. "That's what matters most. But I like music you can dance to. I actually have Dancers. Or...well, I did." For a moment, he looked sad, but he perked back up quickly. "That's okay, though. They weren't very good."
