004 || it was all just a dream

I...

I can't... remember anything. What happened to make me act like that, what I was even thinkin'... I know I tried to get back to the elevator. I saw the storm coming.

[He runs a hand through his hair, now furious that he had been that easily manipulated.]

I just can't do it.

Zack...

_{[Oh man, what does he say? He knows he kind of made Zack stick around the party when he wanted to go back down under the sea, but he bugged him until he stayed.]

...M'sorry.}

Hey Zack...

*Selphie gives a small, gently reassuring smile*

Try not to get too hung up over this... It sucked. I know that.

*And her smile grows slightly as she tries to cheer him up*

Looks like those guys got to the best of us.

Sorry...? [Why would Demyx be sorry? It's not like he KNEW they'd all be captured and screwed around with like this - and the man had been drunk at the time. Neither of them was at fault, here.]

You didn't know. None'a us did. I'm just... pissed off that something had the gall to do this in the first place to us!

I know... I know, I know, but.

Poor Seph. He's had too many of his buddies snap like that back home, an' for me to be one of 'em...

I feel awful about it.

Seph...? You mean Sephiroth?

*Selphie remembered the handsome young man that she'd met at the party at frowned a little*

Now listen here, Zack. Sephiroth seems like a really good guy, and he wouldn't blame you for this. He doesn't seem stupid either, and I bet he knows that this wasn't your fault...

The best you can do is apologise.. I've apologised to ... well, everyone. And if he can't accept and understand that...then more fool him.

Yeah, but I still feel kinda... bad about it.

_{[He frowns slightly, picking at some invisible lint on his knee.]}

This kinda confirms the whole 'we're probably part of an experiment' theory I had a few months ago.

You were havin' a good time an' I was... probably just bein' a little overprotective, is all. If anyone's to blame, it's me for just not lettin' you have that fun, y'know?

[He shakes his head, offering the best smile he can.]

An' if we're gonna figure this out, we should be pointin' those fingers at the people up to no good, not each other. What else do you know about this kinda thing, Demyx?

[He can't help it - he smirks at the irony of that statement, and what he'd faced a few years prior to coming here in Vatheon. Sephiroth had been the crazy one. Sephiroth had been stupid about things. And for Zack to be the one to apaologize when his buddy didn't even know about those events...

It just felt a little weird.]

He'll listen if you ask for an ear, I'll tell you that much. He might seem kinda quiet and maybe even moody, but he's taken care of me for the longest time. I know he'd listen.

I just... sorta... feel bad about all'a this? I wanna make it right, but without even rememberin' much of what happened, it's not too much good.

Overprotective?

_{[Then he shrugs, grabbing a notebook off screen and flipping through it.]}

Karkat found a bunch of papers and typed everything down. I've been copying it all into one of my notebooks in case Xigbar ever came back again cuz I used to talk to him 'bout this kind of stuff. Some of the words I still don't really understand so if y'wanna take a look at it and see if you can make any sense of it all, I can meet you somewhere 'n bring it if y'want.

[He looks mostly amused, though there's an underlying hint of annoyance there too.]

Oh, have you not been here long? This is how this place works.

Well, I wasn't about to let your drunk ass go stumblin' into the sea, right?

[He rubs his chin thoughtfully, tipping his head a little at the explaination. If this has been going on for awhile, and people were aware of it by now... he'd definately need to get some notes of his own together as well.]

Where're you at, right now? I can pop by now that I don't feel like takin' someone's head off.

Didn't know this was some kind of challenge to see who knew this place better, thanks.

[And he might just be a little annoyed himself - he almost killed his friends, and he wasn't in the mood for sarcasm.]

You say that like I'd drown or something.

I'm on the roof of the Vita apartments, but I can portal on over to your place or somethin'.

When you're drunk, you can!

Nah, I'll head over myself! I need to get out an' about anyway, right?

But I can breathe water--! Sort of.

Okay. I got some lawn chairs up here cuz me 'n my roomie used to sit up here once in awhile.

Yeah, uh-huh, sort of. I'm watchin' you!

--I don't have to if you're too uncomfortable with that, man. I know I wouldn't like many people touchin' Cloud's stuff.

I can, I swear!

Why would I be uncomfortable with it? The only thing I'd get kinda funny with is if someone tried to take over Xigbar's bed.

You misunderstand--

It's a challenge to see who can adapt first, haha!

I'm not about ready to test that theory, man. You'd better be careful!

Now, I don't think I'd go that far, buddyboy.

Why's it a race though? What would you get for winnin'?

Man, you sound like my mom. ...Adoptive mom, I mean.

You make that sound so creepy.

*Selphie thought about this for a moment and wrinkled her nose. She felt pretty stupid about her own public apology, but she knew it was the right thing to do*

You wanna make it right? Just talk to him... Or...take him out for dinner! Do something nice for him?

*Was she making it sound like they were a couple?*

Am I gonna have to start resortin' to that? 'Cause I will!

...

Yyyyeah, okay, on that note, I'm comin' over.

[He thinks about thins for a good while, resting his chin over the top of his hand.]

Take him out to dinner? Where is there around here to go? An' how much Gil am I gonna have to bring?

[And what would Sephiroth imply off of this?]

Well...There's a GORGEOUS restaurant called The Black Order. And it's all free you know. It's so beautiful inside... Like... really amazing. But definitely not the kinda place you'd go to by herself...

*Selphie had been in once very briefly with a friend, but it was the kind of beautiful place she imagined that romantic meals took place in*
