10 ⊙ video | backdated to monday

_{[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.]}

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. _{[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.]}

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

_{[All of the extra fighting limbs, too!]}

My good looks can't be part of it. _{[Shh let him play around.]}

I paused it like I said I would.

Not sure about that. [He'll give Kimblee a look over as if to consider it.]

I do like the color of your eyes.

[Because gold eyes were the best colors. For obviously non-biased reasons.]

Guess we can finish it since we have the time.

--Speaking of eyes, the young miss at the clothing shop I brought you to stopped me yesterday as I was leaving to ask me a question I think you may get a kick out of.

_{[Next funniest joke he's heard.

Juuuuuust going to reach over and grab that remote to hunt down the play button.]}

Of course.

[...he didn't bother to remember what she looked like.]

Oh? What did she ask?

[Don't leave him hanging.

It took a moment to remember what happened before he fell asleep.]

_{[pokerface.jpg]}

Apparently she thinks that we're father and son.

_{[Pokerface has failed. He's laughing, now.]}

Her basis was the eyes and hair.

[ And back to studying Kimblee after that.] Betting I get my good looks from the other parent then.

[He can tease too.]

Maybe we should bleach your hair.

Either way you look at it, you'd have quite an exotic mix in your bloodline were it true. The idea of settling down didn't quite appeal to me.

_{[This is a good... Whatever-this-is.]}

Do you really want me to go blonde?

Hmm. [He...isn't even sure what is in his bloodline already.] Guess it would be hard to find someone who would find all of your traits appealing.

[Scrutinizing Kimblee's features again. A little hard be attached to the hip/side.]

Would make the mistake isn't repeated, but the black does make the gold stand out. [Though get some color to that skin. Something that wasn't sun burnt next time.]

Come now, I do know how to hide things from people.

_{[It brings a whole new meaning to friends being attached to the hip.]}

A pity I didn't inherit blue eyes from my mother, hm? _{[Prison, man. Dealwithit.gif]}

[Wouldn't get tiring having to hide stuff? That would also imply caring if he thought of that.]

Not like it's something to worry about now.

[Other than straight up announcing the whole...gray area of his morals.]

I know too many idiots with blue eyes. [Besides, he likes the gold. Not repeating that point though.]

With you, no. With the rest of the city? I try. Some people here are quick to judge which that foolishness is sure to get them killed sooner or later. As it stands, I have no real interest in pursuing a relationship of that sort--chances are it'd be a tad unhealthy at that, which has happened before simply because of the way I behaved emotionally.

_{[Does he still get a gold star for trying?]}

What about purple?

Guess you'd just have to find someone like me then if you ever get interest again.

[Sure. He'll make sure it's a sticker and will put it on that just for Kimblee.]

There is a guy with purple eyes on the network. He seems weak. [Bumping the side of his head against him.

The movie is pretty much going through the downfall of exbest friend, the chief prosecutor, and the ship guy/smuggler. All the dominoes were falling and old murders were coming to light as well as people were going bankrupt or being caught stealing.]

I suppose I will, won't I?

_{[Awesome. Ladies love stickers, right?]}

Is there, now? What's his name? _{[Oof.

Man, it's awesome when things fall into place with movies like this. It's going on his list for sure.]}

Good luck with that. Features aside, I'm pretty unique.

[As appealing as someone who tries might be, scratch n' sniff stickers might be more so.]

I don't know. Something foreign sounding. Asago? [Whoops. Off by a letter.

Definitely. Up until the old love is making another appearance to point out that the Count screwed up and said Dantes when she merely mentioned the last name only. And she shows off she kept the "ring" on her finger always.

Yup. Mushy stuff.]

Challenge accepted.

_{[...That name what even.]}

...Well, I've been around the country a few times in my career but even I haven't heard anything like that.

_{[So much sentimental stuff going on what even.]}

It almost makes you feel sorry for the poor thing.

[Seriously... finding anyone like Vanitas will probably result in the pair trying to kill one another. For reasons. That and he didn't care to share. So just get a brow raised in response as he crossed his arms.
He was pretty sure Kimblee wouldn't be able to succeed anyways. ~~He wants to keep is assurance he is one of a kind at something okay~~ ]

There is more to the name but I didn't bother remember it. [Losers or anyone weak isn't worth remembering anyways. Especially if they hold little to no consequence to Vanitas.]

Almost?

_{[Vanitas you really are a cat.]} Don't tell me you're pouting over the notion, Vanitas. _{[He lightly elbows him in the side, a smirk on his face.]}

I see.

_{[Then he shrugs a shoulder.]}

She could have waited. I know under normal circumstances it was nearly impossible to escape from that prison, but against all odds he did--if she truly loved him you would think she would have done at least that much.

[Pointedly looking at the screen.] Don't flatter yourself. I have no reason to pout over anything.

[Yes. Yes he is.]

Wasn't she told he was dead? [He isn't sure how that love stuff supposed to work. Looks like it's sexual attraction with a whole lot of pointless feelings connected to it. So friendship but with sex.]

What is the difference between...friendship and love?

_{[Tsun harder.]} If you say so.

_{[Seriously, it's not just a river.]}

I beli--_{[WAIT WAIT WAIT

BACK UP

BACK THIS TRUCK UP WHAT.]}

Pardon?

[Pot meet kettle.

And finally he's going to look at Kimblee.]

I didn't stutter. [Stop looking at him like he just spoke French or something.]

I was raised in a deserted graveyard. The only time I felt something positive was what I got second hand from my...twin. [And even that was fleeting until he learned to shut it out completely.]

What I got from observing that girl was that you don't eat much without the other and sit around crying over it. [Referring to Kohaku.]

_{[If the shoe fits.]}

And what about now? Have you felt anything positive here within the city? _{[Xehanort that is not how you get the trust of your minions.

...Blowing them up like he did to his chimeras sure doesn't help either but details.]}

Friendship and love can be considered two sides of the same coin depending on who you ask. Friends can love their friends, albeit in a different way when compared to say, the love shared between partners. _{[HE IS NOT THE BEST PERSON TO BE ASKING THIS, VANITAS.

SCRATCH THAT, HE IS THE WORST PERSON TO BE ASKING THIS.]}

[Does the killing thing count? That, on top of hurting locals, felt pretty positive to him.

Looking at Kimblee again with a what-do-you-think kind of look. He'll return that earlier elbow with one of his own.]

A few times. [He had good feelings while a cat as well. Nyan nyan, Kimblee.

So over time with their awkward alliance thing possibly going to stupid friend road...]

Guess I'll worry about it when and if it's even possible. [It's still registering as a weakness that was pointless. He didn't have friends or at least ones who would apply that term to it. So far he has a loose companionship/truce with Rin, and whatever this was with Kimblee. There was also the dumb heart links, but there wasn't any love.

Kimblee is the only one he can talk to about anything. Gosh, be happy he was picked.]

_{[Oh. So it's like his explosions.]}

Such as...? Did your master give you any sort of praise while you were under his care?

_{[And then he makes a face. This was approaching HerpDerp territory awfully quick.]}

If a man like myself could feel something that equated into love, I'm sure you could. The only people I ever truly, truly loved were my parents and my younger brother, and that was simply out of a familial bond. Perhaps it wasn't as strong as other people, but I still cared for them. Friendships and romantic partners on the other hand... Well, they were difficult for me to manage.

[Pretty much. He likes those too, by the way. ~~Can make explosions on him any day bb~~]

It was praise enough if I was still standing at the end of training. [Not even bothered by saying it. Because that was normal and it helped make him stronger. Best. Parenting.]

I don't have any of that. [And his "brother" is gone. Even with him around, he only wanted to kill him.]

And here I thought military training was rough at one point. _{[Xehanort wat were u doin.]}

I'll get you a... fish or something to take care of.
