<sub>[So everyone likes a little bit of unintentional blackmail, right?

How about a nice shot of Vanitas napping against someone's side where he actually looks completely normal and/or harmless? It sure seemed like a fantastic idea to Kimblee.]</sub>

When he's like this he seems human, doesn't he? He's been like this for a good fifteen minutes and I just don't have the heart to disturb him. <sub>[Kimblee brings his hand down to start playing with Vanitas' hair for a few seconds, something he had been doing before he started the broadcast, then he starts to move him.

Or at least he tries.

...Vanitas isn't budging, and whenever he tries to move him, he goes with. Then Kimblee attempts to move--Vanitas still doesn't budge.

Thiiiiiiiiis can't be good. LAMUFAO WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO HIM.]</sub>

All right then, apparently I'm not going anywhere for awhile.

...don't you?

[fulmination]

There are times where I'm opposed to him dropping by--he's already embarrassed me on the network because of it, but I can't very well kick him out, can I? To my knowledge he doesn't have a place of his own to call home and I'm one of the few, if not the only one to put up with him like this.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

So you just feel sorry for him?

[Video]

[fulmination]

No. He's...

_{[He glances down to Vanitas, thinking over his next words.]}

I suppose you could consider him to be a friend. Acquaintance. Ally.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

Hm.

Don't think he'd much like that first one.

[Video]

[fulmination]

_{[He shrugs, offering a smile.]}

I honestly don't know what else to call it.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

Do you guys.. y'know, hang out and do stuff?

[Video]

[fulmination]

We watched a movie earlier, so yes.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

[Watching a movie and falling asleep on the couch. Totally something he has done with Axel. It's so... normal.]

Kinda hard to picture.

[Video]

[fulmination]

Ah? Why is that?

_{[Don't even get him started on the animal curse. He found Vanitas in the closet.]}

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

[Better than in your living room catfighting with your Other.]

I've never really seen him- ...relax.

[Video]

[fulmination]

_{[Vanitas stop fighting with your 'siblings' gosh.]}

He's only human, Roxas. _{[A beat.]} ...Well, partially.

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

[Peering at the video again.]

Yeah, I guess. But I don't think he knows it.

[Video]

[fulmination]

What do you think he is?

[Video]

[coolerthansora]

...you asking 'cause you don't know or 'cause you wanna know what I think?

[Video]

[fulmination]

I want to know what you think. Frankly, I couldn't care less as to what he is. I've been acquainted with people who I knew were inhuman.

[coolerthansora]

...

I think he could be a person, if he wanted to be.

[Video | Filtered]

[fulmination]

...And what makes a person to you? Is it their past? How they behave? What they feel?

[Video | Filtered]

[coolerthansora]

I guess feeling's a part of it. But- you have to think you are who you are, and not anybody else.

[fulmination]

What of that other boy? His other half, or whatever their relation is to one another.

[Video | Filtered]

[coolerthansora]

That's what I mean.

He can't be someone so long as he thinks he's half of Ven.

[Video | Filtered]

[fulmination]

...Well, with time maybe he'll come around as his own person. I'm sure if I were in his position I'd be the same way.

_{[He casts a fond look at Vanitas.]}

Yet despite his master, the world still acknowledged him. He has potential.

[Video | Filtered]

[coolerthansora]

...

What's that supposed to mean?

[What does the world have to do with it?]

[Video | Filtered]

[fulmination]

That despite everything else, he's survived. It's just a little... philosophy I've had for years.

[Video | Filtered]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas is pretty sure he... didn't, though. Survive, that is.]

...guess it counts for something.
