[ 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. ]

no subject
[ He's not about to rat Sora out anyway. Sora can be the one to bring it up. ]
Though if you hadn't noticed... Mine lays entirely different than that guy's does.
no subject
[He's definitely curious, but he can respect Vanitas's privacy.]
I noticed. But still. I bet you could find someone to help make it manageable without cutting it too short.
no subject
[ Hey look. He's used Roxas' name and all! ]
no subject
You won't have to worry about getting it in your eyes, at least. Or looking ridiculous trying to keep it out of your eyes.
no subject
[ Come on, Roxas. Surely by now one must understand how limited Van's experience is. Of course he isn't going to know what something like a hairdresser is. ]
no subject
[He's personally never been to one, and only really knows about hairdressers from vague recollections of Sora's memories of when he was younger. He offers Vanitas a shrug.]
Anyways, I was just passing through. Was going to get some ice cream. [He pauses for a moment, an ear flicking.]
...wanna come?
no subject
...Ice cream.
[ He frowns a little. Oh that he's heard of, of course. But for someone to just venture out and get it seems. Hum. ]
You're asking me?
[ Which is another point of confusion. They aren't friends. ]
no subject
Yeah. Why not?
[He remembers Sora's words about giving Vanitas a chance, and for Roxas, ice cream was a universal gesture for reaching out to someone. Of course, it's Vanitas's choice whether or not he accepts. Sora can't say he didn't try.]
no subject
[ Oh come on. How is he supposed to know that this is some kind of gesture? Though Roxas is just going to have to be patient. Vanitas is a skeptical person. ]
no subject
And besides. You haven't really given me a reason not to offer you one, so.
[He shrugs casually.]
If not, that's fine. I'm going either way.
no subject
I haven't had it before.
no subject
[He glances off down the path he was originally heading before his detour, before turning to Vanitas and motioning with his head.]
C'mon. You should at least try it once.
no subject
[ They've been to various little places to eat. Have tried different amounts of sweets and types of drinks. But ice cream hasn't come up at all. ]
And I have no interest in socializing with Ventus.
[ Not more than he has to, anyway. He's decided to give his other half a chance, but that doesn't mean that he's willing to be out and about with him yet. ]
...Before I agree. What does it taste like?
no subject
[For now, ice cream.]
Depends on the flavour. You can get flavours like chocolate or strawberry or vanilla... I haven't found sea salt yet, but salted caramel's pretty close to the salty-sweet flavour. But, ice cream's usually sweet. And cold. It's good for hot days.
no subject
Fine. I'll go.
[ Tch. ]
no subject
There's a pretty good ice cream parlour not too far from here. It's got a decent number of flavours, too.
[His tail slowly wags thinking about it.]
no subject
What kind of flavors.
no subject
Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and salted caramel are the ones I tried before. There's a couple more, but I can't remember the names of them. I think one has nuts in it.
no subject
Chocolate wouldn't be bad, I suppose.
[ No idea about salted caramel. Sounds like a weird flavor to him. ]
no subject
[He may be a little biased, he gets it.]
no subject
How can chocolate be the worst?
[ Sweets really are his weakness. ]
no subject
[Don't worry Van, he's not discounting the goodness of chocolate.]
no subject
[ If it's really all that good then it's sure to be a hit, right? ]
no subject
[But if he did learn the recipe... that would be pretty convenient, wouldn't it? Sea salt ice cream whenever he wanted... that's tempting.]
