Y'know, I get that this place can send people home 'n all that stuff, but... I dunno if I can ever get used to it. I, ah... I found out a really good friend of mine is gone. A bunch of people might've known him--his name is Francis Bonnefoy. The delivery guys dropped off a bunch of books that were from him for me earlier. He... I liked him a lot.

_{[Demyx fumbles for words, unsure as to what to even say. What does anyone say in this situation?]}

We went on a date before he disappeared, too. I dunno how I can really repay that, but I wanna dedicate a night at Purgatory to the guy. If it wasn't for him, I probably would've been toast when I showed up last year. Not tonight, though. I think I'm just gonna hang around with the regulars tonight if that's cool with Jinx 'n Gabe. I guess the whole point of this thing was just to let you guys know he's sorta... Not here anymore. M'gonna miss him, but he's gotta be safer back home. He's just gotta be.

[ She'd suspected, had hoped that it wasn't true but... damnit. And when her delivery came? Oh boy ]

He was a wonderful man.

[ninthserenade]

He was, w-wasn't he?

_{[Part of him is still hoping this is just a really, really bad dream.]}

[longaevus]

[ He's not alone in that ] More so than he was noticed for. He'll be alright at home; it's where he should be.

[ninthserenade]

Mm... I know. I just wish I could'a said goodbye or something. _{[He pauses.]} How long did you know him?

[longaevus]

It would certainly ease the feeling a little.

I met him not too long after I'd arrived, through his cat actually.

[ninthserenade]

His cat?

[longaevus]

He adopted a young cat that he named Liliane, a cat that I was there for when she was born.

[ninthserenade]

What's gonna happen to her now that he's gone?

[longaevus]

He left her to me.

[ninthserenade]

At least she's got someone to take care of her, so that's good!

[longaevus]

I'm glad of that, although I hope that those he lived with would have taken her in had I not. [ Not that she wouldn't have done ]
