Another week, another curse and it appears Vatheon continues to keep its poor sense of humor. I don't quite appreciate having my alchemy taken away like this and left with other abilities that I don't know how to control.

Selim, meet me near the forest; there's something I need to discuss with you. Do take care of yourselves this week, Vatheonites, and if anyone has seen Vanitas around I'd appreciate it if you let him know I'm looking for him in case he doesn't pick up his SFC.

_{[And. You know. Messing up the apartment with his new tricks might not be the best idea considering the damage it can do. He knows what can happen first hand all too well.]}

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You never know.

_{[Vanitas you're being dumb.]}

...It might be a bad idea for me to be around you for awhile, then. I've been hit by it as well, but I can't quite control these new abilities. It'd be too dangerous.

_{[A beat, and then softly;]} What is it like?

...fine. If that's what you want.

[He hates that he's "normal" and he hates this curse.

Pausing as he made a clicking sound]

It sucks.

It'll be fine if the room is completely blacked out, but until I get it under control... _{[He sighs softly.]} It's to protect you, Vanitas. It's cruel irony that I was given the abilities of the same thing that finished me off.

...Do you want to talk about it?

[Making a sound.]

...you don't need to protect me. I wouldn't even feel if you did hurt me.

[...he just let's out a low growl.]

Not if I can't see you.

_{[Don't you take up that tone with him, jeeze. He's just trying to be considerate.]}

That's what I'm afraid of.

_{[Vanitas why you do this.]}

...Outdoors. I'd rather not make a mess of our apartment.

[Screw considerate. Kimblee wanted him and then wanted him away? Yup. Nope. Not happening.]

When?

_{[stubborn little runt.]}

Whenever you're able to.

Where?

[Well Kimblee was a big dumb butt.]

Not in the city. ...The park or the forest.

_{[But Vani started it!

Okay sort of not really.]}

I'll wait for you at the park.

[Since he can do that whole portaling thing while Kimblee has to walk.]

I'll be close to the small vegetable garden. [Opening up a portal and going through. Just going to Sit down on a bench carefully and wait.]

Alright.

_{[He switches his SFC off and tucks it into his pocket as he starts heading in that direction.

When he arrives he has to focus in order to send part of his shadows out to creep up alongside Vanitas. Lookie lookie, Vani!]}

[The moment Vanitas noticed the shadow, he immediately scooted himself away fast. Being unable to feel when he found the edge

well

Vanitas sure did gain another bruise on his ass. He was just suddenly on the ground and muttering a curse. He didn't feel it, but the whole suddenly being a two or three feet lower was a trip.]

_{[Whoops, he didn't think that would happen. He'll take that one.]

Let's see how bad it really is--he'll hesitate a bit, then walk up behind Vanitas to pull him back up to his feet.]}

...Careful.

[He'll almost flip out because he knows he's being lifted, but it's from behind and he can't feel it.

His heart was racing, and it wasn't until he heard Kimblee's voice did he actually try to start to relax.]

...give more warning next time. [Yeah, he was grouchy. He's moving a hand to brush against Kimblee's quickly. He couldn't feel it as much as he wanted to.]

My apologies.

_{[Don't mind him as he reaches out to snag his injured hand as gently as possible. Even if Vanitas couldn't feel anything, it wouldn't do any good to mess up the bandages.]}

...Let me see. Just ignore the shadows if you can.

[He doesn't have a fear of them like some people do.

Just letting him do whatever as Vanitas watched it.]

Your new ability I take it.

[He is covered in bruises too.

And just reaching with his free hand to try to poke at one of the shadows.]

...Similar to the ones that ended my life, yes.

_{[It's still a sore spot okay >:

Once he's satisfied with the patch-up job, he starts to inspect some of the bruises. The shadows on the other hand don't react much save for a small recoil. At least he's trying to keep them under control!]}

Do we still have potions back home?

[He is looking from shadow, to Kimblee, and then shadow again.]

...I'll sleep with you.

[So he isn't alone with them.

and then he's blinking.]

I have a bottle on me. Did you hurt yourself?

[He has a bruise on his shin from the coffee table. It got revenge for you, Kimblee.

And the others were from bumping in to things or falling down a flight of stairs at the apartment complex.]

...In your room, then. I'd rather it be somewhere dark just incase something happens. They don't work without a light source.

_{[That way Vanitas could hog him to his heart's content even if he couldn't feel anything.]}

Let me see it.

_{[Tugging a handkerchief out of his pocket with his free hand. He's gonna try and get some of the scrapes healed up.]}

[Kimblee has to go through one thing that makes him uncomfortable to be able to keep another thing from slithering out. Fun.]

Works for me.

[Even if it'll be frustrating not feeling, at least he can be there for the other?

...and hesitantly pulls out the bottle.]

_{[He'd rather deal with the small space than the shadows >:

He takes the bottle and pops the cap off long enough to dab a bit onto the handkerchief, then he's passing it back to Vanitas so he could get at the scrapes and bruises on Vani's hands and arms.]}

...I'll take care of you this week, alright?

[Taking the bottle back and just watching him.]

...alright.

[It's a compromise. Using his free hand to grip on to what Kimblee was wearing. He remembers what it felt like, so he could just pretend he can feel it.]

How deep is the one on your hand? I could bring you to the clinic if it needs stitches.

It should be fine. He wrapped it tight enough.

[That answers it enough, right?

He's reaching to touch one of Kimblee's antenna and frowns for a moment. Just going to flick it and just keep frowning.]

Still.

_{[His brows furrow a bit at the flicking, but he doesn't stop him. If it helps Vanitas, then there's no problem aside from a mild bout of annoyance.]}

We'll change the bandages tonight before you go to bed and I'll see what a potion will do for it.
