Heh, been awhile...

Challenge - [71] Castles
Title - Down and Down
Word Count - 221
Notes - Ya know, I think this is my first Demyx drabble. Ever. o.O;

Demyx decided today, with all the conviction he could muster, that the Underworld had to be the creepiest, crawliest place in the entire universe. Which was pretty bad, considering he’d resided in the Castle That Never Was for more than two-thirds of his…nobody-ness, nonexistence, whatever.

Huddling inside his over-large sleeves and hood, he clutched at his shoulders as he made his way towards the oh-so-welcoming skull-shaped fortress in the center of the place. Once he was close enough to smell his impending doom coming from the entrance, he paused to give the place a long once-over, eyes starting at the very top. Those smoky, vehement green eyes, that dark, sinister black color, and those sharp, straight rows of teeth… It was understandable that he shuddered.

“This is so wrong in so many ways. Even Xemnas has a better decorator than this guy. Would it kill him to lighten up a little? Maybe some flowers – people get bouquets at funerals, so it’s not like they would be too out of place,” he muttered to himself.

After a moment of standing around eyeing the thing, he shook himself, as if he were simply discarding his body’s anxiousness, and trudged onward. The sooner he got that stupid medallion, the sooner he could finish the mission.

That’s when he heard the sounds of dogs barking.

Aww, Demyx!!! You've captured his voice very nicely here, very good read :)

Eeeee, thank you so much! *-*

"he made his way towards the oh-so-welcoming skull-shaped fortress"

That line was rocking my socks for quite awhile.

This piece cracked me up, and I like the reminder that the Underworld can't smell to pleasant, either. All the dead souls, rotting monsters, and charred remains (of whatever Hades blasted in a fit of anger) can't be too great on the nose.

Glad you're drabbling for Demyx, he needs all the lovin' he can get. :)

YES HE DOES! D: *hugs him* The more love for him the better, I say. And I'm glad you got some amusement out of this, it's purpose is accomplished!

Aww, I loved it! Its silly and oh so very Demyx-y(?) (Who we all love, but we know is a big pansy anyways.) ^^

[snarechan.livejournal.com]

But that's why we love him, ne? :D Well, among other things, but you know what I mean. And thank you!

Those smoky, vehement green eyes, that dark, sinister black color, and those sharp, straight rows of teeth...

It's really weird, but the first thing I thought of was that's a great way to describe Axel.

[snarechan.livejournal.com]

Ya know, now that you mention it, that description does apply rather well to him, too. Perhaps he would have been better suited to go? He would have fit right in!

Ah well, Xemnas is the boss (unfortunately). x.x

Awww, poor Demnyx! Bouquet for him and you! :D

[snarechan.livejournal.com]

I think your icon says it all for me - squee! *-* Thank you!

Wonderfully fitting. I now have images of Demyx sending Hades flowers. Lots of white lillies. I am not certain if Hades would be amused, but I would. Also, this -

the Underworld had to be the creepiest, crawliest place in the entire universe

- is a marvelous description.

Lillies? How undeniably appropriate! Well, if Demyx wasn't dealing with Hades, that is... I too am unsure whether he would accept them or not. Ah well, fire fodder is fire fodder, I suppose.

And I know! I have to admit, it was more my sentiments than anything that sparked how I thought Demyx must have thought of the place. I mean seriously, even Auron didn't like the place, and he's the dead. >.>;

*laughs* Poor Demyx! XD He's got such a fun point of view, and I love to hear people explain the 'RUN- RUN AWAY!' scene in KH2.

This made me laugh out loud. ^^

[snarechan.livejournal.com]

Ah, how I love that scene... Nothing says awesome like running around screaming like a girl. And you're right, he IS fun to write! :D I hope I get the chance to write more of him. Thank you!

"That’s when he heard the sounds of dogs barking."

Now we know where he gets his first line from ^__^

This fic was so cute, you captured Demy's personality perfectly.
When I was playing in the underworld I thought to myself "Man, this place must have given Demyx the Heebie-Jeebies."
