Well, now that we all seem to have gotten over that... curse (an interesting one to say the least), I'd like to ask a small favor. Should anyone see Vanitas in the next few days, please wish him a belated happy birthday. I know you may have some differences with the boy, but I'd appreciate it; it isn't every day one turns eighteen you know!

_{[Speaking of...]}

Ah, which reminds me now that I started thinking about anniversaries and the like; for those of you who have been here for a year or longer, how have you coped? Do you still get homesick? Are you happier here with the friends you've made or would you rather be in your own world? Frankly I'm a bit torn--while I do miss Amestris from time to time, this place has actually started to grow on me. I may not be completely free here, but it's by far better than the alternatives. Though I'm not sure if I can imagine being here for another year...

One day at a time, hm?

[...what are you doing, Kimblee?

He started to text and Goldie decided to walk across his hands and the SFC.]

It isn'tmwmpghii

[After a moment he decided to just send it. Seems like the cat had things to say.]

[fulmination]

_{[Stuff and things c:]}

Hello to you too.

_{[Goldie is learning well, isn't she? Best kitty.]}

It isn't what?

text;

[halfhearted]

Nothing.

Remind me to share your sleeping habits with the network later.

[And just flipping it to video to aim at Goldie. Kimblee will be greeted by little kitten paws trying to REACH and bat at the SFC. It's colorful and it has Vanitas' attention!]

Vanitas...

_{[Gosh Goldie, talk about being a curious one! Remind him to bring home some extra treats later, because this is just precious. He'll have to try and teach her to be a pest to Vani more often.]}

How has she been in the rest of the rooms so far?

video;

[halfhearted]

[Leaving it on video and moving the SFC low enough to see what she will do. Have the entire video covered with kitten fur as she grabs on and flops on to her back. Kicking the ends of the starfish with her feet.]

She won't go near the washer machine. [Especially when it's on]

It sounds like you may be coming down with a case of Stockholm Syndrome. Is that common here?

[He can see how it would be, given the situation some of the foreigners find themselves in. Brought here with nothing to go back to...]

[fulmination]

I have no affection whatsoever for our captors, I assure you. I'm sure there's plenty of people who do have something similar to that however but it doesn't affect my decisions in the long run.

_{[Though he does have the smallest hints of pity towards some of the locals after listening to C's words up on the island during the bubble flooding.]}

text

[copesetic]

Fair enough. I'm still trying to get my bearings here and you're virtually the first person I've come across to volunteer any opinion other than clawing at the walls.

[Granted most of his contact has been with people intending to find a way out or with new arrivals. He has little experience with those who are comfortable here. Well, there is Jet, but he's a bit of a special case considering what he would have to go back to.]

[fulmination]

It's far better than the alternative of my fate in my world. It took me some getting used to life here but I've grown accustom to it--I've seen things here that I'd have never gotten the chance to before.

_{[The only thing that he's hung up on is the whole... captivity deal.]}

How long have you been here?

text

[copesetic]

About two weeks. I can't imagine being here for over a year.

[That would be terrible, worse than death as far as he's concerned.]

[Text]

[coolerthansora]

[What, it's Vanitas's birthday, too?]

How belated?

[Text]

[fulmination]

About a week. It was the first.

_{[Vani's the one that picked it out!]}

[Text]

[coolerthansora]

I guess he wouldn't have wanted a party.

[Text]

[fulmination]

I don't think he told anyone else. Still, it's better late than never.

[Text]

[coolerthansora]

Did you guys do something?

[terranullius]

[The entire rest of the message barely registers once he sees that name. Terra had hoped that Vanitas had been defeated by his friends and was no longer a threat. Instead he sees the name written here... and with such affection, it seems. He's not quite sure what to make of it. Best to start by clarifying the situation.]

You mentioned Vanitas. Are you referring to a boy in a mask?

text;

[fulmination]

_{[WELL. He wasn't expecting someone else who knew him. Kimblee thought he already met the ones who Vanitas pestered in the past, but apparently not! But which one is this...? Hmm.]}

Ah... yes? Do you know him?

text;

[terranullius]

We've met. I know what I need to know about him.

[Maybe a bit harsh, but Terra can feel himself getting angry at the mere thought of Vanitas being here.]

text;

[fulmination]

I see. ...So would it be correct if I were to assume you were from the same world?

_{[A little honesty never killed anyone at least.]}

text; yoink (ignore if it's not okay)

[halfhearted]

Ventus isn't here. How are you going to put an end to the both us now?

not here but he'll be stalking shhh

[fulmination]

_{[oh my god vanitas he is so not bailing you out if you get into trouble.]}

text; (definitely okay)

[terranullius]

[Ven's not here.... Not the response he was hoping for, but it may be a small comfort that Ven and Vanitas were separated.]

I have no intention of putting an end to my friend. Only you.

text; woo

[halfhearted]

[Technically his heart was there. :D]

Too bad your so-called friends didn't feel the same.

[IGNORING THE TEXT because lol reading]

[video] akdjhgkjah omg notifs why do you fail meeee I am so sorry /covers face

[fulmination]

_[Ohdear.]

_[Mostly.]
