[he's sitting at a table somewhere, a cup of coffee nearby, his briefcase leaning against the table leg, and his laptop out. he's currently staring at the screen, which is filled with a mass of calculations and formulae, tapping his chin in thought.]

Hmmm. I suppose that as frustrating as it is being stuck here, it gives me time to perfect certain projects. I don't suppose anyone knows the components of this 'truth gas' that seems to have affected that majority of this place's occupants?

And yet you did not. That is rather rude of you.

Maybe.

[Swipes coffee cup, watching Vexen blankly.]

[stares back]

...can I help you?

I wanted to inspect this.

[Is looking at the coffee now.]

It's just coffee.

[can't grasp the idea of not having coffee. he practically lives off it at times]

Mm. But sometimes the coffee people drink is disgusting, at other times delicious. Vexen always had good coffee, so I wanted to see if you did too.

[Inspect inspect...sniff.]

Somehow I am not surprised you know a Vexen as well.... It is not the best coffee I have had, but I made do with what was available.

[just watches]

Hmm...He's dead.

[Sets the coffee cup down and quietly walks over to where he's sitting, arching an eyebrow at the screen.]

[blink] Dead?

[closes a program or two swiftly, leaving up a game of solitaire and some sort of word program filled with numbers]

Mm. Dead. Set on fire.

[Leans down, looking at the screen. He hasn't really run into computers before.]

....on fire?? Why?

[doesn't mind too much, as all that's on the screen are a few older calculations and a game]

He was going to say something he shouldn't.

[Eyes the keyboard...]

I suppose it would be against my best interests to ask what, then?

[why is this place full of crazy people]

Maybe.

...

[BUTTON PRESS (for ten seconds); Computer has been turned off. Work saved?]

[ASLKFHALKFHSALKFHQL WHAT THE HELL]

Why in God's name did you do that?! You just lost me four hours of work!

[that would be no, work not saved]

Eh?

[Still in button press position, he looks at Vexen all innocently confused like. Marluxia has no comprehension of how computers work or what has just happened so...]

You just... lost me... four hours of work. It was all on there. And now it's gone.

[gritting his teeth, oh god so frustrated]

...

[Glance at the laptop. What's that thing people say nowadays?

...Oh. That.]

My bad?

[moves the laptop so he can HEADDESK]

[Watches silently, hands behind his back.]

[thumps his head against the table a few more times before sitting back up]

I suppose nothing can be done but retyping it all.

[Tilts head.]

What was Vexen working on?

Just... information for a project I have been working on for a while.

[weary sigh]

Hrrm~ What project?

[Staaaare. Erm...yes, he is in front of you: floating, hands on the back of the chair, and leaning over to look at your face.]

It is personal.

[....yeah okay that's not creepy at all. leans away instinctively]
