[ 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. ]

[The weather in Aefenglom is a little chiller for the month and Sora can smell rain on the air but at least today doesn't seem as bad yet. It's nice enough outside to get a whiff of the slowing approaching Spring and with that the start of new growth and flowers. Ever since developing actual fuzzy rabbit ears and realizing he's growing to be a puca it makes a lot more sense why Sora's come to like vegetation and things like flowers so much lately.

So getting outside is a nice change of pace. Dragging his bondmate out with him is an even better change of pace. He doesn't quite want to be cooped up in that room all the time and a single chance to get Vanitas' nose out of a book is a good one, really. Casting spells is better than reading spells.

And maybe he'd just like to continue patching things up where he can between them. After the events at the outpost he wonders if things are still a little sore.]


Hmmm, I've only really seen you cast healing magic and that floating charm once. What else have you been working on lately?

[Sora's ears twitch.]

[with chocolate being as good as rat poison to him, ven was trying new kinds of sweets to make. white chocolate seems like a good place to start when both milk and dark are out of the question.

thinking about vanitas and ven's offer to gift him some sweets (if just to bribe him into hating ven a little less) he decides to stop by his home to deliver some. of course vanitas isn't there, thus starting ven on a small hunt to find his other half...

... what he doesn't expect is to find vanitas covered in animals in the coven's garden. he stops and watches the spectacle while trying to fight back a laugh.]


That's not a bad look for you.

Are you sure about that? I was looking for you, you know!

[he says while holding up a little wrapped box. one of those butterflies denied by vanitas flutters over to take a seat atop the ribbon.]

But if you don't want it...

[Curious and none the wiser Sora steps a bit closer and nods. His long fuzzy ears twitch again when Vanitas' fingers get close, though.]

What are you gonna do?

[Sora is as trusting as ever.]

Huh!?

[Hopefully it's only for a short moment that Sora has to hold still. That sort of thing really isn't one of his strong suits. But in a moment Sora feels the familiar strange tickle of Vanitas' magic and...]

Huh? Huh?!

[Sora's hands go up to where his rabbit ears were and then down to his hair and then to his normal regular ears.]

Huh!

[WHAT. HOW.]

[ Oh, what's this? A so-called familiar face with all these little broken pieces scattered about. Lined up and ready to go! Just like him... so it's cute. So cute, in fact, that Kadaj finds himself swinging himself around a bookcase, holding tight and with a fiendish flicker in those green eyes of his while a curious smile remains on his lips. ]

Oh, it's you!

[ It's said with such cheer! But rather soft since this is a library. Shhh!! ]

Funny to find you here and not up a tree.

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2020-03-04 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
No! It's just... weird? Whoa!

[Sora had spent a whole night in pain and headaches only to have the rabbit ears grow in the place of his actual ears on the top of his skull. So it feels strange to suddenly have them back to normal and he touches at them gently like they might go poof just like that.]

How long does it last for?

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2020-03-04 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
It's a neat trick. I had no idea you could do that.

[Witches are amazing... Sora was just getting used to having his rabbit ears but this is alright too. Sora shakes his hair out a little and fusses with it.

Then he looks back at Vanitas and tilts his head.]


Is it me or is there are a lot of butterflies bothering you today?

[He can't help it, he snorts with some gentle laughter.]

Looks like you're turning into a bonafide princess or something, Vanitas.

[He's joking!]

But, thanks. It kind of feels nice to be normal again for a little bit.

[Sora laughs when Vanitas takes the jest and meanwhile he follows one of the fluttering butterflies that's near Vanitas. He reaches out and tries to poke it but it flutters away and lands on a yellow flower nearby. Sora crouches down to poke gently at the flower and play with the butterfly.

... While precisely proving Vanitas' point in general, here.]


Hey, I'm normal enough? Come on!
oathkeeper: ??? (☾80)

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2020-03-04 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[At least without the rabbit ears in the way the ruffling can happen easier. Sora's hair is soft and fluffy despite all the spikes. Sora looks up at Vanitas when he does that, blue eyes wide.

Is Vanitas okay? He's never done anything like that before...]


Uhh? I guess I am. [Heh.] Even if they like you more than me.

[He can tell there's something ... calmer about Vanitas. He's not sure if that's what he's feeling across their bond now or if Vanitas is feeling under the weather. Sometimes it's so hard to tell.

The butterfly on the yellow flower flutters away and Sora takes that moment to pluck the flower from the bush before standing again. He twirls it around in his fingers.

Being called sweeter... Sora might have the slightest of a blush on his cheeks.]


But there's something different about you right now, maybe? The butterflies are flocking to you.
