Well, this was all turning out to be a fine mess. Demyx happened to be wandering the streets in that area too, by coincidence. It was that or getting heckled by his coworkers, and he preferred wandering, thanks. His mind kept going back to the PR nightmare going on over the journals. If Vexen and the others just hadn't been so gosh-darn impatient (and if he hadn't caved to them; that almost always bugged him in retrospect), they might have been able to do this right, and it wouldn't even be an issue...

As it was, he caught himself looking over his shoulder more often than usual. He didn't have any street clothes yet, and unless he got some pretty soon, people were (correctly) going to keep identifying him with the Guys In Black Coats... This was one of those times he was very glad for being able to teleport.

After a little while walking and wondering how the heck they were supposed to clean up this mess, though, he spotted a little girl coming the opposite direction. She wasn't one of the natives (the green hair made that pretty obvious), but she looked pretty upset.

Well, that was understandable, he figured. He offhandedly hoped it wasn't at him, but again, that was what the teleporting was for. Once they were close enough, he waved and put on his best concerned face for her. "Hey, you okay there?" he asked.

Marona paused in her step to blink as she turned to look up at the blond haired man in the black coat. He wasn't like the others around here, and he was the first person to have really actually noticed her.

She was cautious to speak to a stranger, but at this point what choice did she really have? She'd probably have to rely on the kindness of a stranger. Ash would undoubtedly forgive her.

She fumbled silently with the bottom edge of her sundress a moment before finally replying his question, "Mnn... Not... really. Someone... important to me disapeared." She looked down at her feet again, "I can't find them."
