[fulmination]

<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.

Comments

action

[fulmination]

I do--Absolutely not.

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

action

[halfhearted]

[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...]

action

[fulmination]

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

<sub>[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.]</sub>

action

[halfhearted]

[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.]

action

[fulmination]

_{[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?

action

[halfhearted]

[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?]

action

[fulmination]

_{[needs more limb loss.]}

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

action

[halfhearted]

[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]

action

[fulmination]

_{[Hideousblades.]}

It's not that stupid. <sub>[Perfect blackmail.

Awesome.]</sub>

action

[halfhearted]

[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.

action

[fulmination]

_{[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.

action

[halfhearted]

[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?

action

[fulmination]

_{[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.]}

action

[halfhearted]

[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.]

action

[fulmination]

_{[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.

action

[halfhearted]

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.

action

[fulmination]

--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.

<sub>[Next funniest joke he's heard.

Juuuuuust going to reach over and grab that remote to hunt down the play button.]</sub>

Of course.

action

[halfhearted]

[...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.]

action

[fulmination]

_{[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.

action

[halfhearted]

[ 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.

action

[fulmination]

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?

action

[halfhearted]

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.]

action

[fulmination]

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]}

action

[halfhearted]

[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.]

action

[fulmination]

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?
