Hello Melodious Nocturne!
This is 'The Cloaked Schemer' on youtube? Thank you for your email, I appreciate it. I'm not certain I felt all that comfortable sharing such things with the public eye.
I might record me playing violin someday, although I'm terribly shy and I don't think I'll be able to post it on youtube... *hides again* We can use those star methods in email as well, right? Anyway - I'll think about it. For now though, I somehow am quite excited to get to know more about you. Can we exchange names yet, or would that be too soon?
-Cloaked Schemer for now, until you deem the moment right for us to give one another our names.

I was so excited to see your email! *Spaz Dance*! You can call me Demyx. Mainly cuz it's my name. :D I don't mind letting you know, and I'm glad we can email now. Yeah, Youtube isn't that private and I hope that I don't get any kind of spam, but I don't really care. I'm just glad you emailed :D. Maybe after we get to know each other you won't feel so shy and you can show me your violin skills.
And yes, the star methods are universal! I'm assuming you aren't some underage kid, since you work in a lab, but if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I'm 24 last month! Woohoo! How long have you played the violin?
Can't wait for your response!
-Demyx :D

Hello Demyx! That's a very nice name *smiles*.
I'm Zexion. After reading your email I googled to see what kind of web terms could be used and I am going to use the following: "lol". No, I am not some underaged kid. I'm twenty-four myself, will be turning twenty-five shortly. I thought you may wish to know that I am a guy and not a girl. Since I have seen you on your video, it's the least I can offer for now. I'm not very photogenic...
Anyway, I have played the violin for about ten years now. My mother forced me too and I was really reluctant at first, especially because when I started? I just created noise... And not the good kind. But once I began getting the hang of it, I realized I quite loved playing it.
What about you, Demyx? How long have you played the sitar? When did you realize singing outside of the shower was acceptable (and pleasurable) to other human ears?
-Zexion.

Hey there Zexion!
That is a very cool name! Wow, we are the same age? How cool is that? lol! Well, I am glad that I am opening you up to the world of emotes and chat language. :D
I started playing the sitar when I was 8, mainly because I was told I had to learn the piano, I told them I also wanted to learn that, cuz it was cooler ;) Well I feel like I have a disadvantage not knowing what you look like, but I don't mind. lol. As for singing outside of the shower...*blush* I still sing in the shower, much to the displeasure of my roommate. I moved from the shower, to the car, and then my friend finally convinced me to take choir in high school...and it just evolved from there.
As for it being pleasureable...lol, I never really cared if people liked it or not. I always just did it cause I liked to. Ten years is a long time to play the violin. And now that I know that, I DEMAND you play something for me, (j/k you don't have to if you really don't want to.) So, Zexion, do you have any siblings? I just have an older brother.
Well, apparently, I didn't do the dishes and my roommate is whining...Talk to ya later, Zexion!
PS, you can just call me Dem for short. Do you have a nickname?
From: cloaked123
Hi Dem! *smiles*
I don't have a nickname... My boyfriend says I have this glare stare that makes me unapproachable, he says that giving me a nickname would be dangerous. I'm not quite sure what he is getting at, but I'm assuming he knows best since we have known each other for years. But... to set the record straight, I'm not opposed to nicknames. If you wish to come up with one for me then you may.
As for siblings, I have an older brother myself. His name is Saix... Apparently he has mastered the 'glare stare' as well. Although, maybe he's changed since then. He moved out of our very small town the moment he could (This was a couple of years ago). I kind of envy him for it... Stay too long and you get stuck in this place, which is how I ended up in the only lab available here to test on those silly little animals.
Anyway, it is very nice to talk to someone that isn't from here. Almost like a change of scenery, which isn't something that happens often around here. Enough about my pitiful town though. What did you have for breakfast today? I know that is a silly question, but I'm not sure what else would be alright for me to ask you. I have never done this before, getting to know a person through the internet? So I'm not sure where the limit is and what the pace should be.
I do always smile when I see I've received a reply from you...
-Zexion.

Hey Zex! (not the most creative nickname, I know, but it seemed to fit) *waves frantically*
Your boyfriend says you have a glare that makes you unapproachable? I find that hard to believe...I hope he doesn't mind that I gave you a nickname... How cool that we both have older brothers? Mine is named Seifer and he's a bit of a thug. Not a real one, but mostly just a tough guy, who has a giant soft center. Of course he would kick my ass if he knew I was telling someone that, but I've seen him snuggle with the cat when he thinks no one is looking.
Plus, this one time, I saw him help this little girl who had skinned her knee. He whipped out a band-aid from his pocket and even kissed it better! I was shocked and couldn't look at him for days. Too weird. He says he wants to be this big fancy doctor when he grows up...I'm pretty sure he is going to be a pediatrician. *nods* Yup.
If you don't mind me asking, where is it you live if it's such a small town? I live in Radiant Garden, giant annoying city that it is. Well, technically, I live in one of the suburbs and I go to RGU. Small towns aren't that bad are they? Big cities are hard cause there are so many people, what's the point in getting to know someone? Odds are you aren't ever going to run into them again... *shrug*
As for breakfast...hmm, Axel (my annoying pushy roommate) made pancakes and he even let me have some cause apparently my puppy dog eyes are 'inhumanly annoying and accurate'. Whatever that means. But mainly, I know he made pancakes for his boyfriend so no big deal :D.
You can ask me anything you want, I am impossible to offend :D I consider you a good friend already and so you can feel completely comfortable with me! *Spaz Dance*
Well, I am very much looking forward to your reply and hey, if you are ever on the msn messenger thingy, you can even instant message me there! Talk to ya later, Zex!
-Demyx
PS. I know this is late, but I take it you are gay? No worries on my end! I fly the rainbow as well! *lol*

Hello Dem,
I figured I'd send you one last email before we move to the msn messenger... thing. I had to ask my boyfriend (Yes, I am gay) to help me figure out how to install the program, so he'll help me with that once he gets back from his job interview. I'm quite helpless and rather clueless when it comes to the internet...
I made myself french toast this morning, it was pretty good, not as good as how my mother makes it, but I didn't want to walk all the way over to my parents place. "lol" their place is only a ten minute walk away, but I think it's alright to be lazy from time to time.
And yes, I don't mind. I live in Twilight Town? I checked the google map and it says we are about twenty hours apart car drive wise.
Ah. My boyfriend is here, so I'll ask him to help me out with the messenger thing now. Talk to you soon, I suppose! *smiles*
-Zexion.
