IX. [Video]

I'll go along, no such sight to be shown,
But to rejoice in splendor of mine own.

[The feed continues as Xemnas closes the book he has in hand, glancing up at the NV after a moment of pause.]

...There is never a dull moment.

[In the background, across a desk full of paperwork, a cat stalks elegantly until she decides to settle right in the middle of it all. Apparently it doesn't take much to keep her content. For now.]

Perhaps one can even call it 'eventful' - a fitting pace for a city such as Siren's Port. It is typical considering the demographic of the populace. [Of course, he then considers what he has recently heard/seen on the Network.] Then again, I suppose it varies from person to person.

And, like most, I still find myself busy with all that has been happening. And I do not expect anything less.

Then perhaps that should change.

I-It's not like I'm totally illiterate! I just have trouble with bigger words or ones that I can't make heads or tail of! Remember how long it took me to finally get the hang of the three 'there' things when I had to do reports back home? That's an accomplishment!

Ah. Yes. I do find it difficult to forget what you were able to come up with, and the reports you did turn in were limited in both number and content...

[Not even the minor offenses can be overlooked.]

However, this means there is no harm in relearning and refreshing the mind with the necessary literature and grammar courses.

_{I could've done 'em all in Atlantican but X-face kept getting snippy at me...}

[ninthserenade]

So, what, you sayin' I gotta go to school or something?

video;

[edge_of_nothing]

Why not? You are not always busy with the work being handed to you.

[ninthserenade]

I totally have a ton of work!

_{['Except I just don't do it.']}

[edge_of_nothing]

[This face.]

A few classes and several hours to spare.

I got night-gigs down at the Purg.

[edge_of_nothing]

Every night?

video; I REGRET NOTHING

[unluckyinlove]

[Hi. How's it going.]

We need to talk.

video; Dahaha

[edge_of_nothing]

['Sup.]

And I assume you're one of Demyx's friends.

video; I love life so hard right now

[unluckyinlove]

I'm his boss.

video; XD

[edge_of_nothing]

For his so-called 'gigs'?

[unluckyinlove]

He's Purgatory's best musician and I don't need your little "organization" taking up anymore of my time with him.

[That's right. She just made quotation marks at you. Whatcha gonna do, big boy?]

video;

[edge_of_nothing]

[Oh she did not. Xemnas takes it in stride, unflinching.]

So you say. But that changes nothing due to the fact he still works for us.

[unluckyinlove]

Cute.

If the kid wants to go to school, then he'll go because it's his own decision. Not because he was ordered to. It's not your decision to make.

[ninthserenade]

Um...

[edge_of_nothing]

[Man, you just got off the hook. For now.]

[ninthserenade]

Sort of.]</sub>

[edge_of_nothing]

[And, after some time, Xemnas does get back to Demyx.]

...That was an...interesting chat. I believe you heard most of it.

video;

[ninthserenade]

Yeaaaaaah.

_{[Talk about awkwaaaard.]}

...So, you're really gonna come see me play?

video;

[edge_of_nothing]

[Ohooo you betcha.]

Is there a problem?

[ninthserenade]

P-Problem? Why would there be a problem? There's no problem at all--!
