What’s that in the woods? Why, it’s a nondescript blonde gymnast!

Watch the right. You favor your right when you turn.Steph took a deep breath, and started a series of handsprings, occasionally aiming at one of the person-shaped outlines now covering a small circle of unfortunate trees. The outlines had red targets for fatal injuries, white targets for temporarily debilitating injuries, and pink targets for ( Read more... )

*Demyx, proving once again that the "no-apparation" rule inside Hogwarts also applies to dark portals, tumbles out of the trees. Having abandoned the official Organization coat as likely to cause comment, he is dressed in a blue Hawaiian shirt (stolen from Marluxia before he left), jeans, and black boots, because he doesn't own any other shoes. Currently, he's also wearing about half a tree's worth of leaves. He looks up at Steph.*

Uh, hey.

busty_robin March 21 2007, 13:00:33 UTC

Oh god. The chicken was bad enough. Steph covered her mouth in horror.

"Please tell me I didn't just transform a tree into a person."

*The Nobody stands, brushing himself off.* You didn't just transform a tree into a person. I just fell out. 'Course, I didn't exactly expect to end up in the tree in the first place... *He mutters something that sounds like "Stupid anti-apparation ward messing with dark portals."*

Anyway, I'm Demyx. *He holds out a hand.*

"That's a relief. Is teleporting in and out of foliage a hobby, or a one time thing? Also, when do they teach us to teleport? 'Cause sign me up!"

"Steph. Nice to meet you! Glad you aren't a tree."

soggynotecards March 21 2007, 21:34:09 UTC

Nope, not a tree, just a Nobody. I mean, nobody in particular.

The teleporting in general is just something I do - although apparently whatever stops the local kind messes with the dark portals, which is why I was in the tree instead of on the ground. But then, I was never the best at it to begin with.

I think they might teach it here, but don't quote me on it - there was an Apparation professor on the staff list, so either they teach how to teleport or how to be a ghost. And I've got no idea when. I didn't learn it here; learned it back home. They call it using the "Dark Corridors." 'Course, the place is full of Heartless, so if you've got a heart, it's pretty dangerous.

Oh, shit. I don't suppose you can forget what I said about not having a heart, can you?

busty_robin March 22 2007, 02:30:12 UTC

"That's definitely something to look into. As I happen to be in possession of a heart, I'll try and learn it the old fashioned way."

Not having a heart was pretty interesting, but Steph actually respected people's privacy from time to time. "It's already forgotten, tinman! I'm pretty good with the secret keeping."

soggynotecards March 22 2007, 10:41:57 UTC

*Demyx gives her a greatful look.* Thanks. But, uh... tinman?

"You know, from The Wizard of Oz? No heart? Creepy, silver make-up? I could do one of the dance sequences, if it would jog your memory."

soggynotecards March 23 2007, 11:17:52 UTC

Oh. Sorry, I somehow managed to never see that movie. I'm deprived, I know.

busty_robin March 23 2007, 20:22:56 UTC

"I'm afraid ya are. But if you're ever in the mood for a creative retelling of it, just say the word. I do a mean munchkin impersonation. Complete with dance moves and lollipops!"

soggynotecards March 23 2007, 20:27:45 UTC

Oo... kay. *The Nobody suddenly freezes. Dancing... Atlantica... AAGH! Think about something else, quick... He shakes his head.* Sorry. Issues with the idea of dance moves. Bad memories of inane songs sung by a really incredibly dumb mermaid.

busty_robin March 23 2007, 20:35:13 UTC

"Oh, you don't know what you're missing!" She went into the first few bars of 'The Lollipop Guild', before sparing Demyx's sanity. "So, mermaids? Was it one in particular, or does the species itself tend towards poor song choices?"

soggynotecards March 23 2007, 20:45:53 UTC

The one I met the longest was a real ditz - said she was sixteen, looked sixteen, acted around five. I got the impression her sisters were just as bad - and she seemed to have a lot of sisters. They sang well, but the songs themselves... Speaking as a keen musician and an ocean lover, I'd rather lock myself in a cave in the middle of the desert than go back there.

And these were apparently the princesses, mind you. I seriously think that the guy mermaids... mermen? Whatever. I think they got all the brains - King whatsisname seemed like a smart enough guy.

busty_robin March 25 2007, 01:41:08 UTC

"Wow. That's...if we were anywhere else in the world, I'd be very concerned as to the state of your grasp on reality."

"...Do mermaids smell fishy, or human-y? I've always wondered."

soggynotecards March 25 2007, 01:45:39 UTC

Honestly, the people I lived with back home, having a grip on reality seriously impared your social life.

I don't really know, I wasn't smelling too closely. And it's hard to smell underwater, anyway, unless you're used to it.

busty_robin March 25 2007, 03:03:51 UTC

"Tell me about it! Man, the things my friends at home get themselves into..." That was the spandex-clad pot calling the kevlar-clad kettle crazy, but still!

"It's a good thing you aren't used to it. Salt water wreaks havoc on hair." She was joking- but Demxy’s hairstyle really didn’t look up for extensive Atlantic immersion.
