spoilers/warnings: Some swearing, no real spoilers
notes: I've been wanting to try a dialogue-only story for a while. It's not 100% dialogue, but I'm satisfied with the results.
“Don’t’cha just love the way the sea smells after a storm?”
“No.”
“Aw, come on, you don’t have to be so grouchy all the time.”
“I am not ‘grouchy,’ I simply see no validity in pretending to feel something I know I am wholly incapable of feeling, as I lack the heart to feel it with.”
“Spoilsport.”
“No, merely the voice of reason.”
“Still… that was a pretty kickass hurricane we whipped up.”
“…indeed.”
“Uh oh, looks like one of the locals survived.”
“He was rescued by the ones living beneath the waves. And… she’s singing.”
“Oh yeah, this is that world where people sing a lot.”
“I see. We should leave, before we are spotted.”
“Yeah, good idea. Still – that was a killer storm, huh, Xaldin?”
“It was, Nine. You are far less useless than you claim.”
The portal snapped open, and Xaldin drew up his hood and vanished into the swirling mass of darkness. Well, shit. Next time he’d have to try harder at being incompetent – nothing like being told you had won some favor to kill the savor of wreaking havoc. Favor meant promotions and promotions meant…
“Aw damn, I’m gonna end up on the Underworld mission after all, aren’t I?”
The mermaid on the nearby shore was too enamored with the half-drowned prince to even notice when Demyx pulled his own hood up and vanished into thin air.

“Spoilsport.” They may not have a sense of humour (or much else), but it sure is a good imitation. ;)

“Aw damn, I’m gonna end up on the Underworld mission after all, aren’t I?” XD Though luck, Demyx.
