[ open ] Life is what our thoughts make it...
Who: Vanitas + You!!
When: All of April
Where: Various
What: Open + Closed Prompts
Warnings: Violence, PTSD, Fluff, and more to be added later
( Cometflies: 4/3 only )
[ Vanitas has already spent enough time watching the meteor shower. He's a little dazed and confused trying to walk back to the house and there's a reason for it, but that's neither here nor there.
He is soon distracted by all of the colorful little glowing things now fluttering around. The natives seem amused by it, but Vanitas does not. Red and yellow seem to want to linger close to him as well as blue, but he keeps batting them away before any single bug can actually hand on him. ]
Go away and bother someone else!
( Pile's Plantagorium: A )
[ Earning some funds by growing plants? Well count Vanitas in. It's not that he went out with the mindset that he is going to specialize in flora. In fact, it isn't as though Vanitas really finds any relaxation or enjoyment in this activity. However, he is good at it and he believes plants are easier to deal with than people are.
So, sure. Vanitas spends plenty of time helping out on that rooftop, tending to and growing what seedlings tare there. Vanitas can be seen putting his talent to use, standing above flower beds and soon seeds become greenery and leaves. Then they begin to bloom in an array of colors. ]
( Pile's Plantagorium: B )
[ Buuuut there's more to be had if he ventures outside, right? Vanitas is standing right at the edge of the Wall. His Keyblade, Void Gear, is strapped to his back. The problem is, Van sure doesn't know what is a deadly plant or what isn't. So maybe stop him before he goes out and offer a hand?
Or maybe Vanitas is encountered already exploring beyond the wall. He has a plant isolated, it's true. It doesn't look sick... But those are a lot of sharp looking thorns on it. That's probably not a very good thing to bring back, but it looks like Vanitas doesn't really care. Only... he's kind of circling it. Looking for how he can get a cutting of it. ]
( Out of the City )
[ Once again Vanitas takes the opportunity to not stick around the city. When the chance is offered to venture beyond the Wall to one of the settlements, Vanitas takes it. He makes sure to leave a note stating that he'll be out. Doesn't state why or for how long because who needs to know that? He played it pretty safe last month by staying within the city walls so naturally Vanitas needs to get out and actually do something.
To get rid of some of his restless, excess energy, Vanitas takes to patrolling around the settlement he is brought to. There are plenty of infected monsters in the area and the spar he had last month isn't enough. Thus he can be found engaging in battle, fierce grin on his face and laughing. It's almost like he's enjoying every single moment that he cuts down one of those monsters, hurling around Void Gear like it weighs nothing. There's no magic used, just brute strength.
And when Vanitas tires of this - not that he will ever fully tire - there is something else he can do. Don't get him wrong it's not that he cares about these people. He doesn't, at all. Vanitas isn't doing this for their sake, but for his own. He joins some of the other Witches that have set up healing stations. Vanitas, see, has been working on the healing artes for months. Now he's putting himself to the test to see just how much mastery he has over those skills. Feel free to bother him or tease. ]
( Book shopping )
[ Vanitas enjoys being self-sufficient. He doesn't like to rely on others, though there are at least a few people out there that... Well he'll let them help him out if he really needs it. Over all? Vanitas still is uneasy. Normally that would be his motivation for getting out and learning anything.
That's not the case this time, but he's going to keep that to himself. Instead he's at this bookstore, going through the shelves. However, Vanitas looks more and more irritated as he goes. ]
Augh. This one's useless too.
[ He's getting aggravated enough that he's not bothering to put all of the useless ones back. Nope. There's starting to be a book scattered here and there. ]
Why is this proving to be so difficult!?
[ All he wants is a ding dang recipe book. To meet certain Monster dietary requirements. ]
( Wildcard )

At least you know how important bonds are now.
[Remember when he didn't want any bonds? How did that go for Vanitas! He knows he can't control what Vanitas does so perhaps it's better if they don't argue about this. At least not right now...]
But nightmares are usually bad memories coming back. That's probably why it bothers you so much. You were dreaming about when the unversed first started. Sometimes it's hard to let memories like that go.
no subject
So instead he listens to Sora talk about how nightmares are based off of bad memories. He's not wrong. If it's really about when the Unversed started then it probably is the reason why it bothers him so much. ]
I thought I had put that stupid crap behind me.
no subject
But right now Sora relents as he inhales softly.]
Maybe there's something about that nightmare you haven't faced, yet. Sometimes when I feel scared I have to face it head on. Then it doesn't feel as bad. Sometimes the feeling even goes away.
no subject
[ Okay so Vanitas is getting a little defensive. Probably because the nightmare is about his emotions. About the Unversed and drowning in that negativity. Of course Vanitas hasn't dealt with all of that. He will always struggle with seeing them as anything than disgusting monsters.
Maybe that's what the dream is about. Who can say? ]
no subject
[Sometimes facing fears is the only way to defeat them. Sora's been there more times than he can count.]
no subject
How can I see all the way through it I end up choking before it's completion?
[ Because that's usually what happens. Vanitas wake up with red marks on his throat. Gagging and shaking. ]
no subject
I dunno... It's not like I want you to keep going through something like that. I guess it's just something we can maybe try to figure out later.
[We- as in together. Maybe it's too late in the night to really be trying to solve it, though.]
no subject
Tch. I never had consistent nightmares like that before arriving here.
[ Maybe because he's never had to hold his emotions inside of him like this before. Or it could be the fact that Vanitas is now facing and reflecting back on everything - admitting harsh truths that he turned a blind eye to before. ]
no subject
You had a bunch of stuff stopping you from figuring it out, before.
[After all, this world is such a better influence on the other boy that he now has time to even think about all this stuff. It's good growth.]
no subject
[ Keep that up and he's going to retaliate. Ruffling his hair up like that in the middle of a serious conversation! ]
And what if I don't really want to think about it? What then?
no subject
[Sora plays dumb as he continues to do just that- play with Vanitas' hair with ruffling fingers.]
Well... Maybe someday you should. You don't have to right now but if there's a way for you to stop having nightmares someday? You really should. But for now, let's just go back to sleep. Okay?
no subject
Probably should go back to sleep. This conversation is starting to get to me.
[ Hey, at least he is honest about it. However, he does have one more trick up his sleeve. Vanitas shifts his arms around, practically grabbing at Sora and pulling his face into Van's own muscular chest. All so that he can rest his chin on the brat's head. Maybe this way the brat will leave his hair alone? ]
Now go to sleep.
no subject
Once Vanitas grabs for Sora he makes a small noise of surprise and finds himself with his cheek up against a wall of washboard muscles. He blinks and freezes up for just a second because he doesn't have enough brain cells to figure out what he should do. Did Vanitas always have such a sculpted chest?
... Nice.
Nice.
Nice.
Sora's cheeks warm and he quickly tries to shake free of certain thoughts and he quickly shuts his eyes. Better to focus on trying to get to sleep instead of the shaped chest he's against or the chin tucked between his rabbit ears.]
... Goodnight, Vanitas.
[Sora finally curls an arm around Vanitas too and settles in with a light sigh. Sleepy...]
