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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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.

[He got confirmation that wasn't normal. Even when they were whole, it was normal for it to be like that. Ventus was the lucky one for getting out, but was weak for it.]

...and what would I do with a fish? [He might kill it or just leave it at one of the twins' place so they can look after it.

And the love interest of Dantes was informed to pack her stuff and they will skip out as soon as things were finished. So she is telling the current hubby who is now bankrupt that she is hitting the road and never looking back. Also turns out their son isn't really theirs, but Dantes.]

What would you do with a--

_{[He is resisting the urge to facepalm so hard right now. Vanitas you are going to give him a headache one of these days.]}

The same thing I do with you; give it a home, feed it, make sure it stays healthy.

_{[Maybe he should've cooked some popcorn before starting the movie, because now it's really dropping drama bombs left and right.]}

[He'll nudge his shoulder with his head.

Vanitas doesn't even know how to respond to that. The same thing I do with you; give it a home, feed it, make sure it stays healthy.

Stop tripping him up.]

What do you get from it?

[What was the motivation? Just enjoying his company? They touched on that twice before, but it was hard to believe.

And now the stage was being set for the final duel!]

_{[Nope, never.]}

What makes you think I'd have anything to gain?

_{[He could just get you a cat instead, Vani. He'll find out where you sleep when you're not bumming here and leave it on your bed.]}

You wouldn't put up with me if you didn't.

[And then both cat and Vanitas will wind up in a corner on Kimblee's bed.]

_{[Pride don't judge him ok]}

Humor me, then; what do you think I have to gain?

Edited 2012-11-30 05:57 (UTC)

[Bribe first and he won't judge, kay? kay.

It wasn't like he was being used to bring about the destruction of everything for SCIENCE. No death blades. No other half to even attempt it with. None of the things he was used to prior to arriving at the Bubble.]

My good looks. [A beat as he shrugged.] All I can guess is that I interest you from a scientific perspective. And you can be your loud and explosive self around.

[That was still a gain.]

I'm not a pedophile or an ephebophile, thank you very much.

_{[gold star!!!!]}

You're not the only one I can be myself around, Vanitas. _{[That's right, Vanitas. There was someone else. Kimblee has been two-timing the whole time and he has no shame about it.

...Okay not really.]}

While you do interest me, that's not the only reason I keep you around. I rather enjoy your company even if you do get on my nerves from time to time.

Wasn't implying you liked me that way.

[Interesting places your brain went to, hmmm?]

Oh? What was that earlier about needing to hide things from the rest. [You whore!!!

Okay. Yup. Totally not buying it. ~~Well there was the ten year old that Vanitas made a point to avoid!~~

Making a noncommittal sound in response as he watched him. It was another moment before he was satisfied and returned his attention to the movie.]

I just don't want you to get the wrong idea when I say this; You are handsome for your age.

_{[because Ed pls he was just complimenting Winry that time.]}

He's... different. Much, much different. _{[Hey hey hey, he will not take that crap from a child!

...Oh who is he kidding; get out of prison, take orders from a ten year old.]}

I'm not stupid. [He wouldn't let someone say what he knows is truth become anything special /huff.

That and sexual situations probably won't be discovered until another year or two. He still had some other growing to do first.]

You mean the kid? [Who left all the feathers every where. ~~And freaked out poor Roxas~~
That didn't count as anyone new so it's not like he really has to wonder.

Shush. He doesn't care or anything.]

_{[He'll go buy you some magazines for your seventeenth.]}

Indeed. We're from the same world and he knows what I did in the war--his father was there, actually.

_{[Needs more tsun, Vani. Crank it up to eleven.]}
