[ open ] Darkness lets the stars shine bright

Who: Vanitas + You!!
When: All of Mareuer
Where: Various
What: Open + Closed Prompts
Warnings: TBA



( Familiar Shopping )

[ Vanitas has noticed that instead of having a Bond, plenty of local Witches seem to have Familiars. Do they prefer them over Bonds? He doesn't really know and Van isn't going to bother to ask that question. His Unversed, that one lone Flood, has been sort of serving as a Familiar since it had arrived. However, Van doesn't particularly like it. Okay, so he kind of hates the thing. Other people seem to think that it's cute. He doesn't get it.

That's why he's entertaining the idea of an actual Familiar. So Vanitas has made his way down to some shops, finding one that specializes in this sort of thing. He peruses the contents, making faces here an there; Vanitas isn't impressed by the selection. ]


Cats. Dogs. Rats.

[ That's where he's at in his search. Though perhaps at one point he does hold a hedgehog, somewhat entertained by it. ]


( Library Visits )

[ As always, Vanitas can always be found in the library from time to time. In fact, several times a week. He never reads for recreational purposes, oh no. Rather, he reads to fill the time. Fill the time and also study different kinds of magic. He can always be found practicing healing spells - progressively getting better at them.

There's a lot of magic here that doesn't exist where he's from. This particular instance, Vanitas is practicing Transmutation and Divination. Some days he can be found with a mirror, glaring at it as if he could break it with his mind. Other days he has broken objects lined up - anything from glasses/mugs to some tools he's found lying around.

Hey. He likes having multiple skillsets. ]



( A Flood's Day Out )

[ The Flood that Vanitas has isn't on a leash or stuck in a crate. It is allowed to meander about on its own. It does, however, have a collar and a tag about its neck just so people realize it does belong to someone. Vanitas doesn't actually keep track of it, completely unaccustomed to doing so - never needing to.

That being said, it likes to create problems for people. Enjoying a nice, quite lunch? Not anymore! That Flood darts up, snatches it, and likely takes off a few feet away to gloat. That new trinket that you just bought? That's gone too.

Vanitas might not be far away. Or maybe you just find it and decide to try to return it. Up to you. ]



( Disney Princess? )

[ Unbeknownst to Vanitas, all that time spent practicing healing magic has apparently left its mark. He doesn't know why this has been happening as of late and it's being met with no small amount of irritation. Here he is, minding his own business in the Coven gardens, and little critters keep coming out to say "hi."

No, really. One moment Vanitas is taking a nap and when he wakes? Maybe it's a stray cat sprawled on him. Sometimes a random squirrel. Today, however, it's a little more extreme. There's a bird in his hair and butterflies fluttering around. A rabbit has seen fit to flop into his lap. ]


Oh come on! Go away! Shoo.

[ Yeah, it doesn't work like that. Vanitas, as a result of his casting practices, apparently has a "calming aura" that he knows nothing about. ]


( Cooking Vani )

[ Back at the house, usually people take turns cooking. Van's helped out a little, though it's mostly with the cleaning. He actually wants to do something this time. So he's in the kitchen, a recipe book on the table. Vanitas is turning the pages, as if trying to decide on something. Though it doesn't look like he's really made up his mind.

This is... Probably going to end badly. For everyone. ]



( Wildcard)

[ As always, if there is no prompt that is to your liking, feel free to hit me up on plurk or discord and we can figure something out! I can even write a closed prompt no problem. ]

[Gosh, he's just excited!]

Yep, come on! We should go look around! There's got to be a potions shop that has something that can help out.

Agh...

[Roxas doesn't get up right away, and probably couldn't even if he wanted to. His arm twitches as the lingering effects of that lightning spell course through it, and he looks down at his hands, slowly flexing them before he turns to Vanitas.]

You..!

[He wants to snap at him, get mad at Vanitas for setting him off... but deep down, he knows that he'd gotten himself into this situation. If he hadn't attacked Vanitas, he wouldn't have gotten attacked back. If he hadn't let Vanitas's comments get to him, he wouldn't have attacked Vanitas. Heck, if he hadn't let his instincts get to him, like Vanitas said, he wouldn't have chased that Flood and ended up here.]

[It's less Vanitas's threat and more the implication of what just happened that keeps Roxas where he is, ears slowly flattening against his head before he looks back down at his hands.]

[He... really had been acting like a wild dog, hadn't he..?]

[Grudgingly, slowly, he pushes himself up into a sitting position. Something to reduce the temptation to go back to sleep and avoid not only this conversation but... everything.]

Nothing is certain... but I do have a likely culprit in mind.

[And he's tempted to just leave it there. Draw out the inevitable even longer. But he sighs instead and continues.]

Do you know what the supposed maximum number of Bonds is, Vanitas?

[A rhetorical question.]

'Tis possible it's not merely a suggested limit.

[Wow, what's with that reaction? He's a little insulted. Why wouldn't everyone be clambering to Bond with him?]

Some of us know how to be personable.

[Yeah, no, Emet-Selch is nearly as surprised as anyone to have ended up this way.]

Two? Well- congratulations on finding another soul willing to tolerate you. You must've scoured the city to find someone else desperate enough.

[But really, he's surprised to hear that Vanitas- who'd been avoiding Bonding even once, to his great detriment- had suddenly doubled in connections. Was the boy growing up?]

And you're still right about that- everyone remains so far beneath me that I can hardly see them. How fortunate that four individuals may be elevated above their natural place through a connection to myself.

Is your friend allergic to doors? Finds them too complicated?

[Seriously just use doors like a mundane person, if teleporting like an Ascian isn't an option.

Though Van's last comment just gets another frown out of him.]


And I can like them just fine while still remaining above them.

[All's fair in attention and nuzzles, it seems! Sora's content until he pretends to grumble against Vanitas' shoulder.]

What? I don't drool!

[... Does he??????]

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2020-03-20 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Then Vanitas has dumb soft hair too.]

I definitely don't drool, you were just dreaming that it happened.

[It was a nightmare! It wasn't real! Sora doesn't drool! :C]

[Sora's giving a mighty pout...!]

I don't! You're just saying that!

[Now he's gonna fuss about this.]

[He's seriously reaching a hand up to wipe at his own bottom lip as of being self-conscious about it. He grumbles softly.]

Not fair.

[ Hmm. Damn.

Ienzo balls his hands into fists though he remains silent, wracking his brain for some kind of idea to deal with this Nuisance. ]


... [ he turns sharply, picking up a few more odd items from the room and gathering them into his arms; a few more books, a notepad and pen (he doesn't have much on him right now okay-) ] Well you're not getting the rest of my things!

[ That's what. ]
