[ Vanitas had heard about this thing called a circus before. Of course he's never been to one before, like many things really. There are reasons for him not to go and he considers staying inside. However his curiosity soon gets the better of him and he soon finds himself in the midst of the things.
Once more Vanitas finds himself overwhelmed, as he normally is crowds, by the smell of food and the sounds of people selling wares. Vanitas is more interested in the food than the games, since after watching people play them for a while he figures they're rigged ( or maybe he mocks whoever tries to play them ). So he's walking around and watching the performances with mochi or dumplings in his mouth.
And at night? Vanitas watches the displays. Even he seems a little taken in by it all. Surprisingly. ]
( WONDROUS THINGS )
[ The pay is what draws him to this particular quest. Whisper Cloud reeds need harvested and for some reason the locals don't really seem to be interested. When Vanitas hears why, it is understandable. They tell secrets.
If he goes into an area alone it won't be a problem right? Not to mention Vanitas doesn't consider himself a person that has a bunch of secrets. Most things he's willing to speak on. So it'll be fine.
But it's so not fine. The moment that his fingers touch the fuzz, there are things murmured that he'd not been able to voice himself. Some of his inner thoughts and Vanitas draws back. ]
What a stupid enchantment. Wonder if it will still work if I chop the thing down...
[ And he looks like he's actually considering it! ]
( GATHERING SAMPLES )
[ There's a list of things that someone desires to get cuttings of. Vanitas is someone that more or less can be found roaming around the Wilde. So while he is out finding creatures to put down, he figures that he can do this little errand as well. It isn't as thought he is going out of his way now is it?
There are two things that Vanitas hopes to acquire: the branch from the Orapple tree and the root from the Silphin herb. The Orapple tree is pretty easy to find. Getting the branch? Also not too difficult. Vanitas scales the tree -
And is promptly attacked by a bird whose nest happened to be hidden in there. Vanitas bats at the thing, but ultimately falls out of the tree into a bush. ...Maybe no one will be around to see that? ]
( RUNAWAYS )
[ Here's the thing about the runaway kids. They are angry and sad and feeling so many negative emotions. What's good at sensing these emotions? Well at one time that would have been Vanitas himself. However his Food can. Vanitas thinks to use this to his advantage.
The creature scurries about in the Wilde and Vanitas can be seen following behind it. Void Gear is strapped to his back and visible for the moment. ]
Can't you hurry up? You should have been able to track at least one down by now. [ Snorts ] Worthless thing.
( FLOODS AND KITTENS )
[ Vanitas isn't fostering any kittens. But there are plenty of people that are! Be mindful that the kitten doesn't get too far away from you.
Vanitas' Flood might be scooping them up and running off with them. Where? Well who knows.Maybe it thinks to try to make a meal of them! ]
( A HAIRY SITUATION )
[ Now one of the things that Vanitas hadn't really thought about before had been something along the lines of haircuts. He's been here for a few months shy of a year and not once has he gotten his hair trimmed. In the past he's worn the mask and has never had to worry about it. Now though? It's starting to get in his face - in his eyes. He can't stand it!
Vanitas is in the middle of sparring - training, really - and he keeps having to blow it out of his eyes. He gets fut up and throws his weapon down on the ground, growling. Tugging his hair and just having a rightful fit of it. ]
STOP GETTING IN MY FACE!
[ It probably looks pretty amusing to anyone passing by. ]
( WILD CARD )
[ Nothing above tickle your fancy? Feel like doing something else with Vanitas? This is where you can do whatever. Need an idea? Hit me up! Van can also be found in the Coven library and out in the Wilde either offering healing services ( for practice only!!! ) and smacking creatures around. ]

Am I wrong? Is facetiousness what passes for honesty these days? [ Snappy, then snappier, right on the heels of this stranger's remark: ] Why go after me?
[ Because clearly he's got everything in check, with the kitty that he came with that continues warping about... warping its way down the street, evading his attention for the infinitely more amusing pursuit of bending the very fabric of reality. ]
no subject
Again. You asked what it was. I gave you the most honest and straightforward answer. Anything more than that is just details that you may or may not wish to know.
[ Facetious or not, it is the truth. He hadn't lied. Everything else is just extra stuff. It's not like the guy is asking for a detailed account of the Unversed. ]
Perhaps it wasn't drawn to you in the first place. However, it does feed off of negativity. The more you feel, the more prone it is to be attracted to you.
no subject
Somehow, he manages to stifle the urge to swear into something stillborn. Who knows if that parasitical leech is still around these parts, feeding off of his hostility? ]
Given the circumstances, some curiosity on my part is perfectly warranted. I've lost one of my possessions, thanks in part to your pet... [ He stops then, denying what he can of his dour mood as he continues to eye him from beneath his lashes. ] .... and in part to my own error.
[ Fault lies where fault is due. ]
Is that all it is? An emotional conduit?
no subject
It's not a pet. [ He's okay with someone saying familiar since that's semi true at the moment. ] It is as much a part of me and I am a part of it.
[ After all the Flood is his irritation given form. ]
And I still can't do anything about what it took. My control over the thing is not what it was.
no subject
So you've decided the best course of action is to allow it to roam around and cause undisclosed amounts of havoc?
[ You know what. ]
Might I suggest a leash for your alter ego?
[ Control yourself, Vanitas. Literally. ]
no subject
[ Moreover, Vanitas really couldn't stop it in the first place. The Flood might have some sentience, but it still has instincts. As he cannot direct it like he normally should be able to, Vanitas figures that at least if it has a collar then people will just come and complain rather than outright kill it. ]
And here I was told that containing my emotions is an unhealthy coping mechanism anyway.
