"Heh..... did your old teacher ever threaten to skewer you to a wall for being mouthy? Or tear you in half if you didn't meet your mission goal?" Demyx pulled a face himself, looking supremely disgruntled. Xaldin and Saïx really were the worst.....
Demyx uncurled to lean back against the crate pile--well, more of an artless flop, really--and groaned aloud, shaking his head and making a dismissive gesture. "Let's start with the bad guys, then. You've probably already met at least one. Saïx is the big guy with the long blue hair and the scar on his face, the one who bosses us all around? He assigns the missions, and he's a real control freak. Most of the time, he's just flat and totally uncool, but sometimes..... well, he's got a crazy temper, so watch out. When he really gets mad and freaks out, he might kill you if you don't get out of there fast. I think it's some kind of weird moon thing, that's his deal."
"Xaldin's the big guy with the hair. You know, all those little braids, and those big sideburns?" Demyx hooked two fingers against his temples, mimicking Xaldin's muttonchops. "He's a capital-A-Asshole, the real tough guy type. I'm not sure who pissed in his oatmeal, but I think he hates the world for some reason--and we're not even supposed to be able to hate, you know? What a pain..... Anyway, he mostly tries to stay out of people's way, so he's not that bad most of the time. If he happens to be around, though, he might hassle you. He's a wind-user, and he's got a ton of lances."
"Next up, the Boss Man! Xemnas is the guy with silver hair, the one who talks. And talks. And talks. All the time. He introduced you when you lot first got here." Demyx gestured with both hands here, big sweeping grandiose motions, and put on his best pretentious expression. "I'm pretty sure nobody actually understands what in the Darkness he's talking about, most of the time, he's kind of a major space case. I guess all the Nothing he controls fills his head--and I mean Capital-N-Nothing, not just nothing. He's not around much for commoners like us, so you probably don't have too much to worry about from him, but his powers are seriously freaky, and not in a good way. Have you seen any Dusks around the Castle yet? Those flimsy-looking white things? He can turn us into those, if you piss him off bad enough, so I'd just steer clear of him."
A wry smile, this time. "Xigbar's his second--the guy with the ponytail and eyepatch. You might see him hanging out on the ceiling; he does weird stuff with gravity and guns. He's..... kind of a mixed bag, really? Xigbar's actually pretty cool, I like him. He's one of the Big Six--the ones that founded this whole Organization--, but he's still fun to hang out with. But he's kinda bipolar, if you know what I mean--some days, he's awesome. Some days, he's just scary, he'll get crazy driven and ride you harder than anyone else, and you can never tell when or why. You take your chances, I guess..... Just remember that he hasn't actually got your back, not many people here would. He really likes to eavesdrop and snoop around, so you can't actually trust him with anything important. But who can you trust around here, really?"
The shrug is so easy and light, the admission so ready and nonchalant, that it looked like Demyx really had resigned himself to suspicion long ago. "Axel's..... Axel, I guess. The guy with the tattoos on his face and the spiky red hair, he uses fire. Hard to tell what he's thinking, right? He's pretty fun, I guess, he's cooler than most of the others. You two might get along--he seems to really like..... well, not kids, but..... newcomers like you, I guess? He took a real shine to Roxas and Xion." Shame Axel hadn't liked him so much, when he'd first arrived..... Roxas and Xion had been the first he'd shown much interest in at all. "He survived the fall of our second headquarters, when the other half of our team bit the dust, so he's pretty hardcore. Never talks about it, though....." Just one more reason not to trust anyone, he guessed; the whole Oblivion affair had 'bad news' written all over it.
"Luxord's the guy with the goatee and earring, you'll probably see him with dice or cards a lot. I'd say he's probably the nicest one here--least likely to screw you over somehow, too. He runs a great poker game, and he's always happy to have new players--just don't expect to actually win; his thing is luck and time. Doesn't really talk about himself at all, but then, nobody here really does....." Not even Demyx, for that matter. "Anyhow, he's pretty solid. Doesn't get too involved in much, though, so I'm not sure how dependable he is in a pinch."
"That just leaves Roxas and Xion..... they were the new kids, until you lot came along. You'll see them together a lot; Roxas is the boy, the one with the spiky blond hair, and Xion's the only other girl around besides your friends. They seem like decent sorts, I guess; they haven't been here too long, and I haven't gotten much chance to get to know them. The two of them are really tight with Axel. Hard workers, too--they've got Keyblades, so they're the only ones who can actually harvest hearts from the Heartless to help make Kingdom Hearts. You and your friends might have stuff in common with them?"
And that just left little old him..... but he wasn't going to just sit around and babble about himself. He'd answer questions, if Kousyxe asked, but otherwise the kid would just have to learn from experience, since they'd be seeing so much of each other.
