He knew how to drink that first beer at least. The second he was sipping at like he was rather unsure he should be doing this.
"Yeah...hell of a night"
And he still had to wonder just what his 'clone' was doing.
"...Empty?"
The sitarist frowned, glancing over at the other a moment before looking back out at the ocean.
"I dunno man...aren't we supposed to not feel anything? What would empty even feel like?"
He was totally bluffing, and the alcohol in his system didn't allow him to keep the bluff up for very long.
".......I feel...cold. A lot. Cold and dark. When everyone was around it was easy to get caught up in the waves of work--er...dodging work. You know. But after everyone disappeared, and before you came back I just...I dunno."
Chug.
"I feel trapped at the bottom of a whirlpool and like...one day I won't be able to control it and it'll all come rushing down in one big watery tomb. ....Again."
The again had been forced, and quickly drowned out with another chug of his beer.
How.....insightful.
And then he giggled like a drunk.

Xigbar listened intently, or at least as intently as he could after having down all that tequila and beer.
"No, I suppose we're not."
Then why did he? Was it just memory? Was he only remembering how it felt? Or was empties the one thing a nobody could feel? Whatever it was, he hated, hated it with the core of his being. There was a longing, a desperation, so strong he couldn't stand it. He was incomplete, a shell, a creature that wasn't even supposed to exist in the first place, and through it all he felt...
"Trapped...in the darkness. Is there a way out?"
Even if they ever did find their hearts again, what would happen to them? Would they simply fade away? Would they lose everything all over again? Would they ever find that completion that they longed for? Life without a heart was cold, terrible, but life in oblivion...
Tch, as if!
Xigbar snorted before sitting up to take another large swig of the tequila. Damn that bottle was already half gone.
"I think you...are a bit drunk."
As if Xigbar was one to talk. His voice had begun to slur, falling into the fog of drunkenness, oh yes.

"There's gotta be a way out...man. Like...there's always a way out, right? Right."
Giggle. Hiccup.
"We just gotta find it---ffff I am NOT"
He certainly wasn't swaying even while sitting down. Nor was he hiccuping. Nope! Allllll your imagination. Demyx, the Melodious Nocturne, was perfectly sober.
"I think you're the drunk one here...Xiggy..."

"You are, don't try to deny it."
Demyx was totally drunk, just look how he was swaying! Wait, maybe that was just the world spinning... Nope, it was definitely Demyx drunk, no denying it, fuzzball. Snort!
'As if."
Drunk? Nah, he couldn't be, he still had more booze to down, he was not drunk yet.
Never mind that his speech was most definitely slurred and--oof! The sniper fell backward onto the sand (it was a good thing he had been sitting) as he took another swig of tequila then took another cookie.
Random laughter, what had they been talking about again?

"I am nooooot, and...YOU totally are Xigman..."
Demyx tore his gaze away from the ocean, staring at his friend. Why was he trying to blame the drunkenness on him? CLEARLY Xigbar was the drunk here!
"M-man, that's it..I'm..I'm taking away your booze.."
His own voice slurring? Nahhhh. The sitarist went to lean across Xigbar to get at the booze supply...and instead lost the ability to move and simply lay there, flopped across the sniper.
And giggling.

"Too late, I already drank it all."
Xigbar presented the empty bottle, or he would have at least had he not burst into his own fit of laughter at nobody flopped over him.
"Geroffameyoudrunk."
A half-hearted shove, but clearly the sniper was far too wasted to really put any effort into it. So he just lay there, snickering a god knows what like a total idiot (because seriously EVERYTHING is funny when you're drunk).
"Hey Demyx, let's go for a swim."
Never mind that water and drunkenness did not make a good combination. Pffft...who cares, Xiggy was too drunk to think about it.

"I'm NOT dru---swiiiiim?"
Demyx giggled and dragged himself off of Xigbar. Swimming! He loved swimming! This was enough to make him find his way, shakily, to his paws.
"Let'ssss go!'
Snickering even more, the sitarist wandered his way towards the ocean.
...And fell flat on his face in the sand.
...and giggled some more.

God only knows how he did it, but somehow Xigbar had managed to find his way to his feet...and nearly fallen right back on his a**.
"Why is the room spinning?"
Oh wait, they weren't in a room, they were outside, on a beach, and they were going to go swimming, yep, swimming, while drunk in the dark. Oh the joys of being completely and totally 100% s**t-faced.
"K, I'm coming..."
And he was on his feet, staggering through the sand, toward the sound of the wavers. What the--OOF! He had tripped over something (ie Demyx), and there he went falling right back onto his a** all over again.
"Hey Demyx, what're you doing?"
Snerk!

"The room? Maaaan I..I told you you were drunk! Teehee!"
And then Xigbar tripped over him, and Demyx only offered a tiny "OOOF" in initial reply.
"ad....admiring the sand, duhhhhh Xiggy!"
Demyx moved...far enough to flop across the other nobody once again.
"What about youuuu?"

"Look who's...tallllking."
Pfft...Demyx was so much more drunk than he was, seriously. Oh god he couldn't stop laughing, and he didn't even know what was so funny.
And then he was silent for a moment, an almost contemplative look on his face, as if he were trying so very hard to find an answer to Demyx's question...or at least to remember something.
"I forgot."
Perhaps it was best that way. Not making it to the water, that was a good thing.
Oh, what's that? A shimmer in the starlight caught his eye. The sniper reached out, fumbling in the sand to catch the object he had seen. Several moments (and much snickering) later, he had it.
"A seashell, you cn have it."
And he dropped it on Demyx.

"Goooood job Xiggy, hehehe!"
...Then again, what the hell had he even asked Xigbar? ...Oh well! No worries!
Demyx stayed put, watching as the sniper dug around in the sand.
"What are you dooo----ooooohhhhh!"
The sitarist snickered, snatching up the shell and staring at it. All..5 of them. ...God his vision was effed up.
"Neaaaaaat!"

Xigbar was barely sitting upright, hands planted in the sand to keep himself from falling over. Damn he -was- drunk, so very drunk. Gods he could barely see anymore. Oh look, the stars were dancing in the sky, pfft...stars must have been totally drunk too!
"Weren't we supposedddd...to be doiiing sssomething?"
Damned if he could remember what though. Not like either of them was going anywhere anyways, hah, he could barely sit up let alone stand.
Oh and that sitting up thing, that wasn't happening either. Next thing he was flopped on his back in the sands once more. Oh well, it wasn't so bad. The sand was soft and he could watch the dancing stars.
Wazzat...why was he so sleepy now?

Demyx's eyes were already halfway closed, and...well damnit the sitarist was -not- moving from his comfortable perch of sprawled across Xigbar. So Xiggy was just...gonna have to get over it and sleep here! Yeah!
"Bleehhhh doing somethiiiiing...we'll do it laaaaaaater..."
And then he was gone, completely passed out on the other Audio. ...Oh well! At least Xiggy was comfy to lay on!

"kayyyyy."
Later was fine with him, he was perfectly happy to just lay there watching the stars and the world spinning around him. Which is what he did, for a long while, or maybe it was a short while, who knows. Just lying there, staring up at the stars, completely oblivious to anything else.
"Hey Demyxxxx..."
No answer. The sniper raised his head to look toward his companion, then poked him. Pffft...he was gone.
"Ssssee...I told you u were drrrrrunk..."
A last snort of laughter as his head fell back. And whatever happened after that...only the stars could have known.
zzzzzz....
