TEXTS FROM LAST NIGHT GENERATOR

[fogsong]

It's a lot of sitting and listening. It's seven or eight different teachers each trying to cram you with as much knowledge as they can in a forty-minute time slot. Between that and... asshole teenagers, it's the biggest drain I've ever experienced. [ She pops another cookie into her mouth thoughtfully. ]

You know, there are schools here if you're ever interested in giving it a go.

[melodiouspacifist]

Ugh sounds like a nightmare if you ask me. [ Demyx snorts. He actually would've been too young for high school, but he didn't remember going to school either way. ]

Couldn't pay me to read stuff I don't have to. [ He quirks a smile. ] Boring.

Actually... [ Despite his complaints, he looks a bit contemplative. ] I did check out Baba Yaga's. Struck a deal where I don't have to sit in class much. It's magic. I don't wanna read about it.

[fogsong]

Yeah, and you didn't have a choice in going where I was from either. [ Some of that was her dad. Despite all the moving and aliases, he was insistent she get an education. It was lame (and she loved him for it, really). He'd tried to provide her with some sense of normal even if he could never let her have the full experience. ]

That's actually pretty sweet. What kind of magic are you learning? [ She's sure that there are some people out there that could learn magic from a book but, like Demyx, Sharon isn't one of those people. She learns by doing. ]

[melodiouspacifist]

Well I'm hoping to learn some new things. [ He admits with a bit of a laugh. ]

But right now I'm working on manipulating other liquids. [ Demyx hadn't actually had a chance to show her his tricks. He holds out a hand and summons a little ball of water, then with his free hand uses his fingers to manipulate it into a treble clef. ]

Water's always been my element but uh, other things I can just move the water, you know? So it doesn't really work.

[fogsong]

[ As he forms and shapes the water, Sharon watches with wide eyes, cookie loose between her lips. This is the one thing she's never seen before: she's never seen someone manipulate water. She's quick to clap her hands together very quickly, impressed, and leans forward to better observe it. ]

So, you could move the water in my milk? [ She returns her attention back to his face. ] Or the water in my body?

[ New way to murder just dropped, bros! ]

[melodiouspacifist]

I can definitely move your milk around. Well, most of it. I'm working on the rest of it.

[ He offers her a closer look at his musical creation. She could touch it and it won't come apart, because he's still subtly holding its shape. ]

Uh. I've never tried that but... [ He shrugs after a moment. ] There's no reason it wouldn't work.

[fogsong]

[ With a wide, concentrated look of awe, Sharon runs her fingers through the floating, shaped water. She tries to disrupt it somehow, get to splash on him and the floor, but it sticks to its shape. She grins widely. ]

If it would work, you could easily take out any of your enemies. [ Just in case Demyx didn't know that people need the water in them to survive. ]

[melodiouspacifist]

[ It holds just fine, her fingers will get wet, but that's about it. It's still water after all. It's such a small amount Demyx doesn't even have to think to make it hold. ]

Sounds kinda gruesome. [ Just a statement of fact, but she is probably not wrong. Yuck. ]

I try to avoid putting myself in situations where it might come up.

[fogsong]

You never know when you might need to do something gruesome to survive. [ She tells him nonchalantly as she finally pulls her attention from the water to pop another cookie in her mouth. ] Those kinds of situations can come up at any time but that's just how life's worked for my unlucky ass.

[melodiouspacifist]

Mm, I've done a lot of things to survive. I get it. [ He does, actually, although nothing so gruesome as what she's describing. He claps the figure in his hands and it dissipates as mist. ]

Never really had the stomach for it and I'd rather not be involved if I can help it. But, if it's me or them, I'm not going down without a fight.

[fogsong]

That kind of shit isn't for everyone, I get it. [ It's been her life so long she can't untangle from it. And, frankly, a little blood excites her. ] You get used to it, though. I remember how fucking freaked out I was when I saw my dad kill a man and now that kind of survival feels... natural.

[melodiouspacifist]

Well..as long as you don't try to kill me. [ Demyx chuckles lightly, although he knows people who would. They're not around. ]

I could see it though, if there's nothing else you could do. I don't know what I'd do in that situation. Probably keep fighting for survival.

[fogsong]

I won't as long as you don't give me a reason to. [ She smiles a little too sweetly when she says that. ]

I mean, that's all you really can do. You just keep going.

[melodiouspacifist]

[ He wouldn't. He's good at knowing which buttons to push and which ones to avoid. He's been at this survival game a long time. ]

Yeah, I've got this annoying thing where I really don't wanna die again. It hurt, you know.

[ Some teenager beat the crap out of him with a giant key. Ouch. ]

[fogsong]

[ That catches her off-guard and sobers her some. ]

Oddly enough, I do know. Death is a real bitch. [ A beat and then she adds: ] Sorry you had to experience it.

[melodiouspacifist]

[ To his credit, he doesn't seem too upset about it in the end. ]

It's fine. It's funny because that I remember. [ That's a bit of a pain. ]

It was just my Nobody self that died, or whatever. I don't know. Whole thing gives me a headache. I think my Somebody was alive and well. Must've been. Split into pieces again though so... [ It could be a shortcut, to die. He still doesn't want to. ]

[fogsong]

Honestly, it sounds complicated. [ It sounds even more complicated when you're a little drunk. ] And kind of mean to call one part of yourself the Nobody self. [ It makes it sound like that part of him matters less. ]
