[If you've visited the island any time in the past week, then you would have had the briefest conversation with Station Master in the elevator, right before you stepped off onto the island, demeanor as polite as ever as he speaks--]

I'm trying out some new cookie recipes and wanted to know if you wanted to try some. Stop by, when you and your friends are able. I’m thinking of baking up a big batch on Saturday and pass them out where we met before. You really should come.

[--before the doors of the elevator will close, dissuading further conversation. He certainly looked far too serious to be talking about cookies.]

[For those who take Station Master up on his offer, he'll be waiting by the warehouse up on the island, distracted, before waving people inside. Inside are cookies, muffins, and cups of water, but those aren't the real reason he's summoned you here. When Station Master steps inside, he removes his hat, but his gaze is still distant, as if he has other thoughts preoccupying him.]

I’m sorry for calling everyone here on such short notice. I’m afraid I had little choice though and my message is not an enjoyable one.

[His expression is serious now, very serious.]

This morning I intercepted a message meant for the Head Nurse from the lead scientists who are behind this experiment. I was able to erase the message, leaving her unaware of its existence for now but I’m afraid I’ve only been able to buy us some time, nothing more.

[He’s reaching into his pocket now, drawing out a folded piece of paper. The message for those who’d rather read it black on white.]

It said they have gathered all the data needed and are shutting down this project. They’ve also given her the all clear on eradicating all left over assets. That is to say… you.

I will. Regardless of what any issues we have with one another, we do have a common enemy and common goal. Be sure to tell Demyx that.

[coolerthansora]

Wha- What's your problem with Demyx?

[croceamors]

It's more that he has issue with me. I attempted to ask him about any other members who have been here before, and he made the conversation very difficult for no reason.

I have my doubts if he can pull himself together enough for all of us to work side by side.

[coolerthansora]

You sure you weren't just being a jerk?

[Because you're pretty much always a jerk.]

He'll help. He doesn't want to lose what he's got here either.

[croceamors]

[excuse u]

I made an effort to be polite and professional about the exchange, unlike him. I can prove that.

[coolerthansora]

Uh-huh...

[Roxas is skeptical that Saix knows how to be polite.]

Just- try not to hold a grudge over a conversation. He could've just been in a bad mood.

[croceamors]

...I'm not the one you have to worry about holding a grudge.

[He is so insulted right now, you don't even know. so insulted]

[coolerthansora]

Right. [All the skepticism.] Anyway I'm not talking to him for you. Just let us know if you figure anything out.

[croceamors]

I don't need you to talk to him for me, just to make sure that he actually listens if I need him to do something concerning this whole event.

[Just for the record, he liked it better when he could order you all around.]

[coolerthansora]

You could always try saying "please."

[croceamors]

I don't see a point in frivolities when our lives are at stake.

yeah it's totally about your reputation

[coolerthansora]

If one little word can get you an ally to help you not be dead, I don't see why you can't say it.

[croceamors]

It goes the same for him as well. I shouldn't have to say 'please' to get him to help in his own survival.

[coolerthansora]

Well, it's not gonna be my fault if you're both too stubborn to work together and wind up dead.

[croceamors]

Hmph. It's not as though a useless fool like him is even truly necessary.

this icon forever apparently

[coolerthansora]

We're in the middle of the ocean. Somehow I think he might come in handy.

ehehehehe

[croceamors]

Yes, but he isn't necessary.

[coolerthansora]

I give up.

[croceamors]

You probably should have at the start of this conversation.

[coolerthansora]

I guess so.

[He was trying to end the conversation when you randomly brought up Demyx okay.]

I'll- talk to you later.

[croceamors]

[Hey, it wasn't random on his end! He's clearing up loose threads, since Demyx has already proven horribly unreliable, gosh. No appreciation for those trying to lead. No appreciation.]

Bye.
