At "Home"; {Action} (305 Miller Street):

[There is something incredibly unnerving about waking up in a unfamiliar bed. Or it should be, to anyone who had been awake enough to realize that the bed they were in wasn't the bed they went to bed in a few hours before. No, quite evidently for the blond curled comfortably in the sheets there is nothing

[During Demyx's wanderings, he probably comes across a rather quiet woman doing some looking around of her own. She's mostly minding her own business, but she stops every now and then to get a better look at something.]

[lookinglively]

[Demyx neglected to realize until now just how very lost he's gotten himself in his episode of flight.

No one in their right mind wants to be lost in an unfamiliar place. As true that is, it does not stop Demyx from being reluctant to approach any locals. However the silver lining, he muses, is that at least Chell doesn't look too unapproachable to him. But it's not like he has much of a choice anyways.]

Uh excuse me, miss?

[Demyx has made a bee-line for Chell before he can change his mind. Despite an underlying anxiousness he still manages a friendly looking smile.]

Can you tell me where I am?

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Chell is slightly startled by him approaching her, but she doesn't react badly to his presence.

When he asks her his question, she looks around, checking to see if GLaDOS is nearby. He doesn't seem like he's working for her, but you never know. After several seconds of silence and thinking, she finally speaks. Her voice is a bit rough, she's only talked to one other person here.]

I'm not entirely sure.

[She's fairly new here herself and only barely knows how to get back to her house right now.]

[lookinglively]

[He is not the only person who is lost? Surprise is not hitting him as hard as it probably should be. This place has been giving him the weird vibes since he unexpectedly woke up in it.]

Were you also, yanno, kidnapped?

[Demyx is speaking in a stage whisper as he leans forward. Ever so occasionally his eyes dart around searching for anything suspicious. What is a guy to do when he wakes up one day in a place he does not recognize? Naturally: BE PARANOID.]

[streets]

[bittybrows]

The same reason they happen to everyone else.

[Must he be so loud. 8||||||]

[streets]

[lookinglively]

[Don't mind Demyx when he wails and cringes. He really wasn't expecting someone to pop up behind him like that. The blond is only this loud and twitchy when he is not having a good day.]

I find it hard to believe that everyone else's luck is just as bad as mine!

[Demyx has since turned around to face her - his eyes gravitating to the eyebrows instantaneously.]

[streets]

[bittybrows]

[Make fun of the eyebrows and she will end you. 8|||]

And what makes you so special, huh?

[streets]

[lookinglively]

[Demyx shrugs.]

Dunno. I guess I was always told everyone is special in their own way.

[That totally answers the question right? No wait it doesn't really. It's hard to decide since Demyx is distracted by how-]

-I've never seen eyebrows quite like those.

[Oh wait that was said outloud wasn't it? Whoops.]

Park

[fineinthefire]

[Demyx wasn't the only one that didn't like being in their house. As a matter of fact, Axel did his damnedest to stay out of it as much as possible. Even if his "wife" wasn't a drone anymore. Not that it mattered. He didn't know these people nor did he care to.

But he still stopped when he saw the all two familiar blond shaking on a bench. Looks like someone just found their heart.]

You look like you've seen a ghost.

Park

[lookinglively]

[Demyx's eyes widen almost comically as he looks up from where he was staring at the ground thoughtfully. He knows that voice.]

Axel?

[and then he is jumping up from his bench, hands reaching out to pat Axel's face. Everything feels so surreal right now for Demyx he wants to make sure that he isn't dreaming.

Axel he has so many questions right now. Just give him a few for him to finish gaping like a fish out of water.]

...This is real isn't it?

Park

[fineinthefire]

[And if Demyx hadn't jumped up to grope his face, he might have found it amusing. Instead he just catches Demyx's hands in his own and pushes them back at him.]

Oh it's real. Better get used to it.

Park

[lookinglively]

[Really, Axel, it's so he could tell you're real! But the arm shove was enough confirmation for him anyways.

...Even if it makes Demyx almost lose his balance and fall over - better watch out for the violently flailing arms as he tries to catch his balance.]

But it's so sudden!

[Demyx has a hand placed over his chest. Almost falling over was enough to make his new heart speed up in panic and even that is a little over whelming for someone who hasn't felt proper emotions for a long time.]

( late morning )

[pokeay]

[ Dia kind of stands out with his Munchlax companion, so yeah, he probably looks like a total weirdo... ]

Um... you must be new here, right?

( late morning )

[lookinglively]

[By now Demyx has started to get past his early morning hysterics. Though that does not stop him from staring shamelessly at that Munchlax with an arched eyebrow. Demyx really does not think that is a Heartless, but that is the closet to that thing that he's seen.]

Uhmm, yeah! I guess I'm new. [Something about that is apparently funny, because Demyx chuckles quietly.]

Does this type of thing happen often?

[pokeay]

[ it's okay, Dia is pretty used to people staring at his Pokémon! It doesn't even phase him at this point. ]

People waking up here without warning...? Yeah, that's pretty common, unfortunately.

[lookinglively]

What is this place, some sort of area to keep stolen people? Man I so did not sign up for this...

Late morning

[pasodoble]

( ( He's only awake this early because he has Christmas shopping. He hasn't gotten anything yet but he stops to give Demyx a curious look. He can't help but overhear. ) )

Ay, that does sound unfortunate. But hey! Things will get better, cheer up, my friend.

Late morning

[lookinglively]

[Really, this guy must be the cheeriest person Demyx has encountered yet. Not that he's complaining! That does not stop Demyx from sulking a little, unfortunately.]

Nuh uh! Things don't always get better. What makes this different?

[Last time he had tried to be optimistic about something it hadn't exactly worked up well for him.]
