Network Post-Video:

[Demyx does not remember downloading this app but that doesn't bother him. He sometimes forgets doing things and that's fine. Totally not concerned. But when he spies it he fires it up, fiddles around with it and figures out how to make his very first video post!

He's sitting on an unmade bed in his bedroom. Posters of various pop artists are tacked up over it on the wall behind him. He grins into the camera as... sims music..? plays in the background. Currently Demyx just thinks someone in the next apartment over is playing Sims with the volume up loud. That's not the case.]

Hello! My name is Demyx! I'm brand new to this app and I'm super excited to make some new friends on here! I wanted to play you all a song to start off, but my neighbor is being rude and playing games really loud next door! So instead, I'm going to link my YouTube in the description! Come check me out! I take requests!

[Did he just use Libra to plug his YouTube? Yup. He leans out of frame for a moment and hauls an axe into view.]

Also I woke up with this thing in my bed this morning? And I dunno where I got it? Like we all drunk buy things, right? But I wasn't drinking last night... I don't think? Are there even shops around here that sell things like this??

Is - is that a literal axe?

Re: video

[ocean_songbird]

Yeeees?

[Uncertain response.]

Are we like... not allowed to show stuff like this on here? Some social media things are stupid strict.

[curriculum_fictae]

N-no I'm - I'm sure that's fine just - an axe?

[ocean_songbird]

Yeeeeah. I mean... like I said I dunno where it came from. It seems pretty real too? Like I don't think it's a prop? So even if I did buy it drunk like... where? Guess you don't know any places that sell axes, huh?

[Hey, no shame in plugging stuff on this weird as heck app. Have Sora, a well-known face on the streaming-sphere.]

Hey! Demyx?! Wow, I already follow you on Youtube! I'm Sora, your music is always on my playlists! Welcome to the Libra app!

[Demyx blinks at the screen in surprise! Hey! Hey knows this guy!]

Whaaaat? No way! You listen to my stuff? I've been following you on twitch! This is so cool!

[oathkeeper]

Really?! That's awesome! I didn't think I'd find someone like you on the app! What a small world when the internet is huge!

[Is Sora going to try and be pals with this guy? You bet.]

Hey, nice axe.

[He means it!]

You're a bard?

Re: video; un: melodiousnocturne

[ocean_songbird]

A bard? Never heard that one before. I feel like I'm kind of a twunk. Somewhere between a twink and a hunk.

[He has no idea what a bard is.]

oh my fucking god he's perfect

[thavnairian]

You don't know what a bard is? How can you call yourself a musician without knowing the ancient history of your art? [He pauses.] Not that the ancient history I know is the same as the one here, but still...

[Ahem.]

In an age far from now, when stories were still spoken in rhymes and the courts of sultans needed entertainment, bards were the masters of their craft; they were entertainers, keepers of lore, medics, and sometimes even spies. This love of music and storytelling was passed down through the ages, until thousands of years later... when a young man with a big heart and a big dream published the chronicles of his creativity on the network. (That's you!)

Well, look on the bright side? You have an axe so it means that you can protect yourself now.

[Pause]

Although, your arms may scream for a little from all the swinging.

Re: Voice; un: melodiousnocturne

[ocean_songbird]

I mean... yeah, I guess. But it's kind of ominous to say. Like what am I protecting myself from? Burglars? An axe seems kind of excessive when I've got like... pepper spray.

[whatsamada]

From random monsters or creatures that could pop up from the spirit realm. Let's just say that I learned the hard way as to what happens if you don't protect yourself.

[ It takes a moment for Moana to respond, mostly because she's trying to figure out why his name sounds familiar. ]

Demyx...oh, I think I've heard some of your music before! You're really good. Welcome to the app, I guess.

You'd be surprised by what some of the shops here sell. But people have also been getting random things. At least an axe is cooler than what I randomly got.

Video, un: melodiousnocturne

[ocean_songbird]

Eyyy! Thanks! Always good to know people are enjoying my work!

And yeah. Someone mentioned axe fairies?? Seems like people on this app are having some pretty wild experiences. What did you get?

[findingways]

I don't know about axe fairies...buuuuuuuut I can't say for sure that that's not what's happening here.

[ Honestly, she could believe it at this point. ]

Just this keychain. [ She holds up a normal-looking shell keychain ] At least the shell is real...I think.

[schrodingersghost]

No better way to make friends than shared confusion.

[Danny makes an attempt at resisting. But bad jokes were his weakness.]

So.... would you say that finding that was an axeident

Video, un: melodiousnocturne

[ocean_songbird]

I'm confused a lot soooo maybe that's why I have so many friends?

[Why would you admit to that, Demyx?]

I mean I definitely didn't leave it there on purpose? Who sleeps with an axe on purpose? Maybe lumberjacks??

Video, un: spacekid

[schrodingersghost]

[Did he miss the joke?]

No, I mean normally you would say accident, but I said axeident, because you found an axe. Get it?
