( CIRQUE MYSTIQUE: 3rd-4th )

[ 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. ]

circus circus

[At least someone here is having fun. Suzaku spent the better part of his evening tailing Vanitas who, as far as he can tell, has been here far longer than himself. When evening rolls around, Suzaku finally makes his presence known.]

You seem like you're having fun. Have you ever been to a festival like this before?

[Suzaku had been to plenty as a child, but he has no interest in browsing the stalls and loading up on food. As far as he's concerned, this entire world is one big circus, and none of its resident clowns have gotten so much as a laugh out of him.]

[The start of the month proves very busy for Sora. The cirque mystique grabbed Sora's attention almost immediately so he finds himself a busy little bunny as he spends time with newcomers and friends alike. Admittedly, he doesn't spend the first few days of the circus with Vanitas all that often. Just little blips here and there before Sora's attention is pulled away again.

That's why when the major final performance occurs on the night of the fifth Sora makes sure to find time to dedicate it completely to his first bondmate. He finds him and coaxes him to watch the final show with him.]


They've been hyping up this show all week so it's gotta be good. We can't miss a single second of it, okay?

[Bright yellow eyes sparkle with curiosity as they head for the performance area. Hopefully, Vanitas doesn't fuss too much about it.]
711: (♘ 060)

[personal profile] 711 2020-07-03 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Get used to it? No, Suzaku thinks he won't. Getting unceremoniously dropped into a new world when he had important business to attend to and a certain demon emperor to slay hasn't settled well with Suzaku. If Vanitas is looking flat, Suzaku is looking downright sour.

There's mochi here too. This is downright insulting.]


I don't plan on staying here. You wouldn't happen to know how to leave, would you?

[No, asking a miscellany of strangers how to leave hasn't yielded any results, but Suzaku's not going to give up so easily, damn it.]
711: (♘ 024)

[personal profile] 711 2020-07-03 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow. At least this little trash gremlin is honest with him. Everyone else Suzaku had (politely!!!) asked answered him with looks of pity and little else.]

I understand. [He does, dead brain cells and all.] There's no need to be rude.

[Disappointed as he looks, as he sounds, Suzaku shakes his head as if to dispel the notion that there's no way out of this place.]

There has to be a way out. If you're content to stay here, then you're free to, but I'm not.

a hairy situation

[personal profile] piromare 2020-07-03 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
( hey, what's the best time to ambush someone? while they're training, of course! it's not like landing on the perch of an open window or anything, but it's pretty close; he recognizes van from the air.

and without hesitation, he starts to descend. he narrows his eyes as he dives toward the ground, right at the guy who's...

...

blowing... no, he's fighting himself???



he puts the brakes on, at least slowing himself down to a hover as he settles down in front of van. )


Hey... I'm not even in your face.
711: (♘ 009)

[personal profile] 711 2020-07-03 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Can he just? Pick this thing up and drop it into the nearest trash can??? Have a heart, Vanitas.

Suzaku restrains a sigh and crosses his arms.]


So you want me to beg? Is that it?

[Someone's been spending too much time with His Highness. These days, that never fails to put him in a bad mood.]
711: (♘ 096)

[personal profile] 711 2020-07-03 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not trying to cater to a kink here, child. (Child? Yes, Vanitas certainly looks like one. It's the face, really.) Besides, if Suzaku isn't willing to beg at the heel of an emperor, this brat is no more worthy of the effort. Suzaku is reformed trash, he'll have you know. His boot-licking days are long over.]

Then what would you go for?

[Nothing strange, please. This hellish wonderland is strange enough.]
711: (♘ 007)

[personal profile] 711 2020-07-03 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[This child (manlet?) is coordinated enough to hold conversation while juggling mochi, of all things, which is something Suzaku makes note of. That, and he's rather built for his age, which suggests he might be something of a fighter.

He'll see, perhaps.]


Seeing as I've only just arrived here, I don't think there are many answers I can give you, but I can try.

[So stop sassing him for just a minute, please?!]

floods and kittens

[personal profile] ludicrous 2020-07-03 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ One minute, he's watching that kitten warp in and out of reality. The next minute, it warps directly into that Flood's mouth.

Being thoroughly unacquainted with Unversed and their dietary intake, Lelouch is forced to take the only option available for him: namely, sprint for dear life after it. Excuse him as he loses his marbles in hot pursuit of the creature that's taken it away, only to rapidly losing steam and slow down after only thirty seconds. Way to add insult to injury. He may or may not be yelling in its wake. ]

Wait -- Vanitas!

[ just your luck, vanitas, because guess who else is on this mission? your best friend, lance!!! :) ]

Hang on, I'm coming with you!
loverboi: (seriously...)

[personal profile] loverboi 2020-07-03 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I am.

[ he doesn't sound too thrilled about it honestly, but eh. EH. what can you do. he was given an assignment, he's gonna do it. ]

I'm not doing this alone. Another pair of eyes won't hurt.

runaways

[personal profile] marmoron 2020-07-03 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's a wonderful strategy, but there are other things in the Wilde that are giving off negative emotions and one of those things would be Keith. Look, he grew up in the desert and the winter weather just isn't to his liking.

All the same, he'd agreed to help find the missing kids and had been looking around for tracks left in the snow. What he's not expecting? Whatever thing Vanitas is using. Drawing his sword, he immediately turns to face it, but stops short when he spots Vanitas not too far behind.
]

The hell is that thing?
loverboi: (points at eyes points at you)

[personal profile] loverboi 2020-07-03 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Look, if you don't want my help, fine. I'll just go look somewhere--

[ but once he hears that...whatever that thing is caught a scent, lance stops mid-sentence. ]

Alright, lead the way. We're getting those kids back.
