Demyx got off the bed wondering what was taking Roxas and Xion so long from coming back. "I'll be back," he said to Axel and portaled out of the hotel and onto the street. Widening his eyes, he witnessed Roxas in a tube full of green water and Xion in the same place cleary upset. "Uh no. Can't those two ever stay out of trouble?" he thought running over and seeing Roxas in the tube. He tapped on it hoping he would wake up. "What is going on this time?"
You're welcome. Marluxia will be surprised by what is happening right now that is when he gets back to the castle.
Cloud sighed with relief and slapped his forehead from subconscience reflex. "Well that is fine then. I'm glad it's not like the military where they only give you five minutes to shower and a specific amount of time to do other things.Tell you what. I will be at my own place and then stay here too when I feel like it and when it is needed so have someone prepare a room for me. I need to get accustomed to the regualtions and rules since I will be working for you and it would be easier on me not having to travel back and forth from world to world. What Leon does is his choice. In return when I'm staying with you guys I expect I can use the facilities and eat your own food? Cloud crossed his arms wondering what Aerith would think of his own decision. He would be prepared to have a lecture no doubt. "Yeah of course. I'm not going to have you starve and you can use the facilities down the hall from where your room will be or in my room. I don't mind at all. We'll discuss details later." Demyx was comfortable in the seat as he leaned back and forth in it. This was going to be interesting and he wondered what the other members would think of it? Their opinions didn't matter though. Only Xemnas's comments and orders complied.
Demyx left George as he entered the room where he and Axel were staying. Closing the door behind him, he locked it and sat on the bed waiting for Axel so he could use the restroom.
Demyx sighed and tapped Xemnas on the shoulder. "Boss I'm not sure what he is thinking and what you are thinking are the same. They are not our prisoners. Grant them that at least. Humans care about their personal privacy." He refused to go furthur into details. The castle was not a locker room where others took showers in the same room, and took care of thier business and what not. Demyx hoped that there was some privacy in the castle, but maybe there wasn't due to the fact that when he was in his bedroom before, another member barged in without knocking. Cloud widened his eyes knowing he had to have his privacy. "What? So you're saying we can't have our own personal privacy without one of you in the room watching us or keeping an eye out? I didn't think the organization were so paranoid or were a bunch of perverts. Explain what you mean by no privacy unless tenure is earned."
"I'am," he answered her. He was beginning to get bored as he placed in one of his cds that was a heavy metal blend into the compact cd player and began singing the lyrics while driving.
For A Life to Lead: Contracts are very specific aren't they?
Cloud already knew the answer for he wanted to hear what Xemnas would say. He chose to end the discussion and got back to the main objective at hand. "The details are listed as of follows: Leon and I will remain in our residence unless we're not able to pay the amount owed for rent for then we will move in into this castle, but our room will be specifically monitored by the state of the art secruity equipment that Leon has worked on in Hollow Bastion that we only know the codes and combinations to arm or disarm it. This is only for the sole protection of my friend and I. If we do happen to live in your home, we expect your members to not hurt us or we will attack back and that aggressor or the ones involved may be out of commission. We also expect privacy and our own personal items, property and groceries to not be tampered with or touched especially our food. "Do we have an accord or do you have any more questions or comments?" Demyx watched Cloud add more additions to the different articles of the contact under specific details. "Wow you're specific of what you want and expect. I guess making a contract is harder than it looks. If you do end up staying here you can eat with the rest of us so you don't have to worry about your own groceries and such." He offered trying to make their lifes more simplier.
Yeah I will be taking her to the doctor's office at 9:45 am with my sister so I may not be on until the later part of tomorrow.
Demyx didn't think it was a good idea to have Cloud and Leon live with them right now due to the hosility from the other members. Who knows what kind of sneaky underhanded tricks any of the organization members could attempt? "Boss, I'm sure they have their own home and would be such safer there for now. Give it time and then who knows right?" Cloud looked at Leon shrugging his shoulders. He needed to answer any concerns he had that were brewing in his mind. "I don't feel comfortable living with any of your members except Demyx for who knows any of them could slit our throats or take our hearts while we are sleeping. Maybe in due time, we may stay here if we're not able to pay our rent, but it will be in under constant survielance and security monitor to ensure the safety of Leon and I. This brings up another question if you don't have need for munny then how do you eat and I do know you guys do eat and drink and among other things." He remembered his encounter with Demyx who was drinking chocolate milk and eating cookies with him before. "You're just like humans except with no hearts, but you have the same structure anatomy wise with the powers diffference." "He's got us there boss. We do eat and drink me especially on the drinking part and pretty much we do what humans do so do you want to tell him or do you want me to tell him?"
(OOC: Recap given by vm already.) Cloud shook his head looking up at Xemnas. "Leon and I don't need protection from the heartless, we might maim one of your members that provokes us and Demyx will make sure that the member is dealt with by our means and his own. The munny issue is where the problem lies? Leon and I have to be able to support ourselves and pay our own personal expences plus rent. 2000 is where our offer stands. 500 betweeen Leon and I is not going to be enough. That would only be 250." Demyx thought of what he could to help meet the standards and then an idea popped in his head. "I'll make sure you get your 2,000 every two weeks or your 4,000 every month. The boss and the rest of the organization will be responsiable for the 500 and I'll take care of what is owed." He knew exactly how he was going to get the munny with the help of his own talants. "That is fine then," Cloud handed the pen over to Demyx who read the contract and signed his name where he needed to sign. Cloud signed his name and he passed the pen to Leon waiting for him to sign. Leaning back aganist the chair, he saw another pen on the desk and handed it to Xemnas for him to sign. "By the way how do you get your munny Xemnas?"
He looked over his shoulder unsure of what was happening, but kept to the road. "Boss? What is going on back there?"
Yeah me either. The forum was very slow and I was very busy today.
Thanks I appreciate that. Now would it be 500 for both of them or 500 per individual?
All you need to know is that Cloud and Leon are forming a contract with Xemnas regarding their services. And Demyx, Larxene, Axel and Luxord are...
So for the contract, when you mean 75 % how would that be from 2000? I can't do that in my head right now and I'm focusing on my grandmother and...
Sorry I wasn't on. I had to attend to matters with my grandmother.
Cloud listened to Xemnas's words and sat in the seat remodifying the contract slightly. "I realize I haven't discussed costs, but I was waiting to see a computer and to finalize before I did. The terms of payment will be a pouch of munny equaling to a great value biweeekly so I would say well over 2,000 every two weeks or you can pay us monthly so that would 4000 per month. I'm also making some additions as well. Leon and I know we could get harmed, but we're asking not to be hurt by your members on purpose or Leon and I will fight back." He typed these new additions into his comlink. "Now this there anything I can add before it is finalized?" He asked Xemnas. Demyx sat in one of the chairs and looked at the monitor that Cloud had pulled his small device into the harddrive as was loading the contract on the screen. "Yeah I thought of something. I will personally be responsiable for your actions and make sure you two don't get hurt by any of the other members since after all we will be working together," he grinned. Cloud added those additions to his comlink as he loaded the page again having it appear on the screen once more. To the parties involved this contract is a binding agreement that for exchange of services that will be issued and completed in a timely manner, that Xemnas or any authority of Organization XIII if Xemnas is not present, shall agree to pay Cloud Strife and Squall Leonhart aka Leon the amount due of a bag of munny in the amount of 2000 munny total every two weeks or 4000 munny per month. In addition, no part of becoming a heartless or any unessessary harm caused by members from Organization XIII will ever come to Cloud or Leon. Of Organization XIII, Demyx will be responsiable for the two warriors Cloud Strife and Leon mainly their safety and making sure these conditions are met. In the case of any term being violated, Cloud and Leon have the right to fight back and defend with no questions asked.This contract shall remain in effect unless an agreement is broken by the indivduals of one party Cloud and Leon where then it will be void. "This shoud do it," he read it over printed it out, took the paper from the printer and placed it on the desk. He waited for Xemnas to read and then sign first.
I have to agree with the rest of the comments. Thanks so much for finding that scan and what tops it off is the right bottom corner picture featuring Axel, Demyx, Roxas and Xigbar fighting that huge heartless. That picture is actually filling in some missing blanks that perhaps those three were the ones that knew Roxas the most before he left the organization.
Will be right back. Going to eat lunch.
