[Now this is a fashion change Nocturne can get behind. He can even tolerate his hair looking like the back end of a duck; it's better than the last three days - days which he spent in his room avoiding getting caught up in things. Granted, all the black leather might be a bit reminiscent of the Organization uniform, but not nearly enough to make him nervous.

He's more or less just wandering around, whistling to himself. He may, in fact, be encountered hanging about outside a mysteriously-appearing soda fountain, just watching traffic.]

[This guy is staring at Nocturne's hair with a cross between amusement and absolute horror.]

...I actualy prefer the mullet, man. And I can honestly say I never thought I'd say that in a million years.

Yeah, well, they've got this thing about anachronisms this week. And, uh, do I know you?

[He's going to take a wild guess that this is another of those kids from the future.]

Well at least you didn't pick it.

[That guess would be correct.]

....Are you teasing me? [Frown.]

Hey, I've already got one fashionista friend to give me crap. I think you've got to get in line behind Kira.

... You do realize there's like a ton of everybody here, right? If you've met a Demyx before, he isn't me. I mean, I don't even call myself Demyx, not that that stops anybody.

I'm not a fashionista. I just know that your taste in hairstyles died out ages ago.

[For a moment he just mulls that over and then--] My life can't be normal for even ten friggin' minutes. I knew I should have just stayed inside until whatever dropped me here sent me home... [But he was going stir crazy.]

Sorry about the mix-up. Sort of glad your not my nut-job uncle. So what do I call you then?

... I really hope 'uncle' is figurative there, because the last time I checked I was an only child. I'm guessing you're someone else in the Organization's kid, then?

Call me Nocturne. I'm not actually with the Organization anymore, but it's not like I beat up people who still are. I kinda want to know what your Demyx does that he's such a nut-job.

I never bothered to ask. But I'm pretty sure it's more likely to do with my mom's closeness to your--his, boyfriend more than anything. And I don't have a clue what the 'Organization' is. [He's kind of hesitant to go naming his folks names since he's been warned there are people who would try to take him and his siblings away if they knew their mom had kids.]

Okay, admittedly when I think about it he could be worse. At least he doesn't blow shit up or send the stove flying through the roof when he's trying to make breakfast. But for a start he does have the annoying habit of showing up at weird hours of the night to drag my folks off without any explaination. And I could do without the random hugging and cuddling and treating me like I'm five...

Huh, if you say so. Not sure I'd know most people I can think of to be your parents without the Organization, but there are stranger worlds out there.

Yeah, alternates end up with personality differences sometimes. It happens.

Dunno. Maybe my folks just don't talk about it. [Shrugs] There's lots of stuff they don't talk about.

Guess I'll have to watch out for that. Wonder if anyone here is actualy someone I know... [He certainly hasn't seen his siblings or his folks around... Then again he hasn't been out much.]

Hm... you do look kinda familiar, but I can't really place it. You're probably not Lexaeus's or Xaldin's kid, at least. Or if you are you didn't get the 'freaking huge' genes.

[Well... this is uncle Demyx--sort of. Ish. Probably no harm in at least naming his dad--but it's gonna be obvious he doesn't really look like him.]

Well... my old man's name is Zexion. Not that I think that'll help much since I take more after my mom. My sister looks a bit like him though.

Actualy, you haven't happened to see a girl about my age with purple hair running around here, would you? [If she is around he wants to find her before she finds trouble...]

... Yeah, you're right, you don't look much like him. Though thinking of Zexion with kids is weird.

Don't think I've seen her, no, but there are a lot of people's kids from the future running around, so who knows, she might turn up.

Well he's not exactly father of the year or anything. [He shrugs as he digs out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, offering one to Nocturne and lighting one up for himself.] But I guess he must love us or he wouldn't stick around. A lot of my friends have never even met their dads.

You'll know her if you see her. She'll be getting into trouble, I can almost guarantee it. And she'll probably hug you on sight.

[Nocturne shakes his head.] No thanks, I don't smoke. But yeah. To be honest, I can definitely see Zexion at least sticking around - the one I know takes his duties pretty seriously.

Heh. Excitable, is she?

[He tucks the pack back in his pocket. Doesn't bother to ask if it's okay if he smokes. This place frazzles his nerves and the nicotine helps.]

Affectionate, more like. [Bit of a smile.] Hard to stay mad at her. I think maybe she just knows how to charm people to avoid trouble. She's got our dad wrapped around her finger.

Serious charmer, then. If he's like he is in my universe, he's not easy to distract with anything besides a puzzle. I guess I'd better watch out.

God knows I can't manage it...

[He looks curiously at Nocturne.]

Hey, got a question. Might sound kind of weird if I'm wrong but uhh... can you use magic? Like... moving water with your mind or something? [It's hard for him to explain it. He's just trying to work out if that kind of thing is normal really...]

Yeah. Let me guess, you've run into it with the others here but the ones in your world can't?

Nah. I was more trying to figure out if that's something common even for other dimentions or whatever. Most of my family can use magic in some form. [He doesn't mention he's kind of the dud of the family and can't even manage a little spark of magic. Instead he shrugs and takes a drag off his cigarette.]

I wondered if that was something that the alternates of people I know might be able to do too. I don't wanna end up finding out the hard way or something.

Oh. Yeah, most of... well, mostly alternates of people you know can do it would be your best bet. Me, your dad... I'm assuming you probably know Axel somehow, the guy gets everywhere...

Yeah, I know him. [He rolls his eyes.] He and my dad don't get along very well. [Pause.] That's an understatement actualy. He's always trying to set my dad on fire and my dad is usualy trying to stab him with a kitchen knife or something... [His home life can't be boring for even two seconds...] My mom finds the whole thing hilarious for some reason so she's always inviting him over.

Yup, sounds like them alright. The versions of them I knew didn't have a lot to do with each other most of the time, but that's probably a good thing.
