jardaan if you'd like a closed starter or want to plot something out.
Warnings: TBD
( Apiary Adventures: A )
[ An opportunity to smack things around is usually a good way to get Vanitas to participate in any sort of request/adventure/whatever. The promise of honey doesn't really do anything for him, but the cune payment definitely helps. All he has to do is keep infected creatures that get too close at bay, correct? Not really much of an issue.
For the most part he just kind of paces along the edges of the area the beekeepers and others are working. His Keyblade, Void Gear, is held fast in his hand. The moment he sees a bear Vanitas doesn't say anything. He just jumps right to it, blocking those massive claws with his Keyblade before attacking it with elemental magic.
One would think that, perhaps, Vanitas would just do enough to spook the thing off or finish it quickly. No... Vanitas is going to play with the thing before actually putting it down. ]
( Apiary Adventures: B )
[ Eventually, however, even that gets kind of old. If something isn't challenging, then it isn't going to hold Vanitas' attention for very long. So when offered to learn the bee-sleeping charm, he figures he might as well. Thus he can be found at some of the hives - sans some protection because he is something of a brat and doesn't think that he will need it - attempting to coax the insects to sleep.
Which he seems to have no difficulty doing. Vanitas is still unaware of the fact that, since he spends more time practicing healing magic than other schools of magic, that he still retains some calming effect on his person. Seems like the bees are also picking up on that. How convenient.
Though he now has a hive that's asleep and Vanitas looks puzzled over what to do next. ]
What now...
[ No one's told him what he should do next. ]
( Wilde: Some Trouble )
[ It's become something of a habit now, going out into the Wild when the Coven asks for some people to help out the refugees. Vanitas doesn't go because he wants to help people. He goes because he's so restless without some kind of goal or mission in mind. Since he doesn't have a personal one, he'll just work with what he's given. It's a great excuse to keep working on his healing arts and to beat down infected creatures and all it training.
Unfortunately, he's in a bit of a tough spot this time. While out clearing an area of infected wolves, Vanitas might have bitten off more than he can chew. There are more of them than he had anticipated. Several can be seen successfully dealt with, but there are a few more that remain.
One lunges and while Vanitas dodges, another leaps from the brush where it had been hiding. It knocks Vanitas to the ground. Before that powerful jaw can actually tear a chunk out Van, he shoves Void Gear into the beast's mouth. Now it's just a struggle to get control back. ]
( River Cleanup )
[ Periodically along the river over the course of the month, a creature not native to this world can be found picking up trash and whatever else. A closer inspection will show that the Flood does have a collar about its neck, denoting ownership of some kind. For the most part it seems content to ignore anyone nearby. Approaching it, however, will result in the Flood dropping whatever it has collected and trying to scratch whoever would think to get too close.
Not too far away is Vanitas. He's actually just sitting around, watching the Flood do its thing. No one said that Vanitas had to personally pick all that stuff up himself, right? So, really, he can just sit there and enjoy the weather while the Flood does all of the work.
Totally fair, right? ]
( Wildcard )
[ If nothing above works, then just either hit me up or throw something my way and I'll roll with whatever. ]

No matter how many times you tried to fight us, you would have never won. We've already proven that again and again.
no subject
Yeah yeah. Whatever. It's not even important is it? Don't know why you're even making that sort of statement as if I'm going to bother.
no subject
( Really... Did he expect her to not respond? )
no subject
no subject
If we're going to fight again with another -- I'll trust more in your decisions.
no subject
I wasn't expecting that.
[ For real though... Trusting in his decisions? What the heck? ]
no subject
( Or.... perhaps she was misunderstanding again. )
no subject
Maybe in a roundabout way I was....
[ He just hadn't thought of it that way. ]
no subject
( At least, she can't help but think that. In the past, they may have just kept arguing. )
no subject
[ It's kind of... Unsettling. ]
no subject
( At least, that's what she thought he did. Could she have been wrong? )
no subject
[ That's right, isn't it? Aqua had approached him saying she wanted to understand him. He just kind of rolled with it because, well. Why not? It's not as though he had believed, at the time, that anything would come of it. ]
no subject
( But then, what is it that Vanitas wants? )
no subject
Hadn't been like that since day one?
no subject
Then, what is it that you want?
no subject
Who knows...
[ It's something he hasn't really figured out yet. Before he might have had a partial answer but now he doesn't even have this. ]
no subject
( Really, she only wanted to understand him because she though that... well... it would make him feel less alone. )
no subject
[ Because whatever he wants to do in the end, it will probably be something like that. ]
no subject
But, there's nothing wrong with asking for help if you need it, either.
