[ The feed opens to a man in a snazzy suit and eyepatch standing in a backdrop of Christmas decorations and a gigantic tree. Little fellows in white scuttle about behind him, looking for ornaments and other such shiny objects to place on the half-finished tree. Xigbar pays them no mind. ]

Ladies and gentlemen of the Port! For those of you who

[Now halfway up the tree and suspended with lights wrapped under his arms and around an ankle, Demyx just glowers. Stupid lights, stupid trees, stupid everything.]

Y'know, you're lucky this thing can actually hold me.

[madannoshashu]

It's because you're a lightweight, dude.

[ Haha, get it?

He glances at the group of pivoting Dusks. Silly things. ]

You heard him.

[ Yes, that is an order to get him down. ]

[ninthserenade]

M'a hundred 'n seventy!

[Oh. Okay. Good, they're untangling the lights.

wait.

No-no-no-no--Aaaand down he goes face-first, the only thing keeping him from kissing the ground being the string still tied around his ank--whoops, nevermind. Face, meet floor.]

[ And he just...watches all this, pretty much. Why so ungraceful, Demyx? ]

Different kinda measuring, dude.

[ He tilts his head. ]

You gonna stay down there all day or what?

[madeinoblivion]

Club 24, huh.

[All the half-nostalgic, half-hostile memories.]

[madannoshashu]

[ Best kind, amirite? ]

The very same, short stack.

Care for an invite?

[madeinoblivion]

Nah.

My days in that place are over.

[madannoshashu]

Suit yourself, short stack!

You're missing quite the party.

[Rolling his eyes so hard.]

Real nice of you to look out for those kids.

[madannoshashu]

[ Unphased! ]

Well, they are rambunctious troublemakers!

Somebody's got to.

[pullsheavendown]

I thought I was for a while.

[madannoshashu]

I dunno, kiddo. You started out pretty tame there for a while.

Puberty's quite the hazard.

[lockandkeyblade]

Yeah, I'll be sure and save the date. [Only not.]

[Yeesh. Demyx is really getting the short end of the stick on this one.]

... Don't tell me you're just gonna leave him up there.

[Video]

[madannoshashu]

Glad to hear it!

[ Demyx always gets the short end of stick; it is his lot in life. ]

The thought did occur to me.

[lockandkeyblade]

[Yeah, Sora's starting to notice that trend. He is like the Organization punching bag.]

Do you guys pick on all your employees this much?

[Video]

[madannoshashu]

[ To be fair, he brings it on himself. ]

All in good fun, kiddo.

I'll have him down in a jiffy.

[antedupmyheart]

I see your helpers yet have a few things to learn, perhaps.

[video]

[madannoshashu]

Well, they are young, yet.

[ A thoughtful pause. ]

Maybe they need more discipline.

[video]

[antedupmyheart]

I'd not rule out the possibility.

[madannoshashu]

Care to lend a hand?
