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.

[Gosh, talking about him Kimblee? It was amazing he hadn't woken up with all the talking, but it was probably because he got used to it.

It'll be a bit before he finally started to wake up. His breathing started to change and for a moment his whole body tensed as he realize this wasn't normal. It took a couple of seconds before memory clicked in before he relaxed again. Cracking an eye open to see if there was any changes on the television or the amount of light from the windows to figure how much time passed.]

Not sure why anyone would stay put for this long. [He still sounded sleepy.]

Welcome back to the world of the living, Vanitas.

_{[He places his SFC on the arm of the couch, but not before checking the clock.]}

It's only been an hour, maybe two. I've sat around for longer than this before just because there was literally nothing else to do, unlike our Count. _{[Besides you know, bugging the shit out of his guards.]}

What? No old friend from another cell to keep you company during your stay?

[Screwing with guards was probably fun at least. He did note the SFC was present though.

Moving the pillow out of his lap to place on Kimblee's.]

That isn't any reason to stay any longer. [You are crazy and Vanitas wouldn't afford the same consideration if the roles were reversed.

So why did Kimblee stay?]

Another cell? No. Company-wise, only my guards.

_{[Especially the newbies. They were the best ones to freak out when he was in a good mood.

Or a bad one.]}

I wasn't aware I needed a reason to sit around on my own couch.

_[Problem?]

[He knows how that's like. He had some freedom, but only during prep time.

Skipping that topic.]

You don't. [Big problem. Not going to even touch it though. Stretching out before he decided to try to slide out from where he was nestled against Kimblee. Not that Kimblee smells bad, but this touchy stuff has got to sto-

Only to raise a brow when he felt the other still.]

So don--_{[Yerk--Okay, that little tug was not what he expected. He gives Vanitas a look, both of his hands going up to show that he wasn't pinning him down with anything.]}

...I don't know what happened, so don't ask me.

_{[See, dealing with a sleeping Vanitas? He could roll with it! But a concious Vanitas? Not only that, but a conscious Vanitas this close? Yeah, he'd have a small problem with it.]}

[Shooting a confused look back. He tried twisting around to see, but was still connected.]

Finally got an explanation for why the mark was glowing at least. [Crossing his arms as he sinks back against the couch.

...that also explained why Kimblee didn't move.

Don't mind him as he touches around the area of connection.]

Well that answers one thing, at least.

_{[He raises his arm up higher, cautiously watching Vanitas poke and prod.]}

It's almost like glue.

[Trying to tug up his own shirt to see.]

Wonder if it'll cut off. [Good news, he probably wouldn't try cutting Kimblee? Since that'll run the risk of being blown up and he's not up for that experience yet.]

I do--Absolutely not.

_{[VANITAS......]}

[Would be a bit of a smirk before he moved his hands away from their physical connection.]

I did say blood would look good on you. [A beat.] Wouldn't be yours though. [That should be enough to tell Kimblee where he had in mind to cut.] If it lasts longer than a day... [You aren't stopping him.

A week like this was a weakness. Even if it was someone who could blow anything up, there wasn't any reason for him to help. And relying on that would also be a weakness.

Sure, they were something but...]

I wasn't aware that I was such poor company.

_{[Seriously Vanitas, did you fall off of the cliffs in the Graveyard when you were born? Even he wouldn't be that desperate!

Because he'd probably deal with the problem a different way.]}

[He probably was pushed off during training.

Several times.

Does that count?]

If you've been paying attention you would know it's the opposite. [He'll start relaxing against the couch again.]

_{[Xehanort your training methods what even.]}

Then I don't see what the problem is if it lasts a bit longer than a day. _{[A brow goes up.]} Unless something about that scares you?

[A few broken bones built strength or something.]

And why would something like that scare me? [Kimblee, why were you trying to press the stubborn button?]

_{[needs more limb loss.]}

You don't seem like the dependent type. _{[What other buttons can he push?]}

[Couldn't lose any of those since might be needed for forging death keyblades that look terrible.]

That's because it would be stupid to be dependent on someone. [Let's ignore how he was unguarded and asleep on Kimblee, okay?

~~And any button you want ;3~~]

_{[Hideousblades.]}

It's not that stupid. _{[Perfect blackmail.

Awesome.]}

[Seriously. How the heck do you even hold it?]

It's an exploitable weakness. From what I've seen people are able to sacrifice themselves for those who will sooner abandon them.

[Maybe the whole him making sure that Kimblee remained as himself miiiiiight be clicking in to sense now. Maybe.]

You don't seem the dependent type either.

_{[With three hands, clearly.]}

I'd sooner sacrifice the other person, not myself.

_{[Though depending on who it was, he might end up actually hesitating.]}

Circumstances took the privilege of independence away for several years.

[He only has two so deal.]

That is one of your appealing traits. [Yes. One of them. That sure was a plural there.

Though finding someone to manipulate in to ending themselves for you does have an appeal, it isn't something he wants connected to himself. It goes with the whole no weakness thing.]

And what about now?

_{[Let's combine you with an octopus. Then you'll have six extras.]}

One of them?

_{[The next question earns a light frown.]}

It's complicated.

_{[That's really just the easiest way to put it.]}

[Heck yes. All the limbs and all the different things one can do.]

I'm not making a list. [Figure it out yourself, Alchemist.]

Did you finish the movie? [Used topic change.]

_{[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.
