Warnings: TBA


( Repairs and Roofing )

[ Should anyone ask Vanitas about why he would bother repairing anything, he'll simply tell them to mind their own business. To be frank, the pay isn't too bad and it isn't like the work is overly difficult. He's not attempting to be particularly helpful or aid anyone so that their homes won't start leaking from damaged rooftops... It's something else entirely. Learning how to repair the rooftops of these homes is actually practical. This would be a skill that he can use in the future.

Thus Vanitas can be seen doing various tasks related to repairs throughout the entire month. Perhaps he is bringing shingles and other materials to the worksites with a levitation spell. Or maybe Vanitas is on a roof ripping the damaged parts off and tossing them aside ( look out below! ) before putting the new pieces into place.

Whatever the case, he seems rather fixated on doing the task at hand. ]



( Veggie Tales )

[ When he had heard the request, Vanitas had wondered how vegetables manage to get up and just leave the garden. Then again, this is a magical sort of place so maybe they literally did grow legs and just walk away. However, nothing had really prepared him for this? Right about now he's stuck in a bit of a situation! He's definitely holding onto a piece of cat-shaped broccoli while dog-shaped heads of lettuce runs around his feet excitedly. ]

Go on. Shoo! Go away!

[ Vanitas is even trying to kick at it a little in order to make them stop. Ironically the broccoli doesn't seem to mind the ruckus. It even bleps out a tongue. Van is now giving that thing a look. ]

This is stupid.


( Clean Up & Clear Out: 2 options )

[ Just throwing things out in the street isn't very nice. Granted, Vanitas doesn't particularly care one way or another, but something does rub him the wrong way. As he's wandering the streets, Vanitas is picking up items here and there from the piles. It's about that time that he realizes that not everything that's being thrown out needs to be. Some of the items aren't actually broken at all or just need minor repairs. These people are literally throwing out things that can still be of use. Now that just doesn't sit well with him at all. So what does Vanitas do? Out of spite he starts to repair some of the items and set them off to the side - only for other residents to take notice...

Though eventually he leaves this endeavor - when too many people start following him around or asking him to fix items with magic - to find large piles of unrepairable junk. Their blocking roads in part and entrances to homes. More than anything, it's a complete eyesore. So Vanitas doesn't see anything wrong with burning it all down in a controlled fashion! ]



( Prurient Petals: No Pollen Shenanigans )

Not letting this crap get me a second time.

[ At least that's the idea. Maybe he wouldn't have thought to come back out this way considered what had happened prior. However now it is a matter of pride. Vanitas is stubborn and he's not about to let a plan and its unique pollen get the better of him. Nope! He is going out there with protection this time around - primarily a cloth tied around his mouth. ]

Stupid flowers are going to get what's coming to them.

[ Which anyone can see with the way that he swings Void Gear around. He brings it down onto one of those stupidly thick roots protruding from the ground and begins to hack away. ]


( Other Locations )

[ Over all, Vanitas is not an overly idle person. One of the place that he can always be found is at the library studying up on various types of magic. He tends to take to practicing magic as well. Right now his primary focus as been on Divination and Illusions for this particular month.

Vanitas slips out of the city periodically to be out in the Wilde since there is always a need out there. He can always work out his anger and aggression out by patrolling around the settlements and getting rid of any infected creatures. Vanitas might be a Witch, but his physical prowess and brute strength is nothing to look down upon.

At the settlements, he lingers only for what he calls "practice." By "practice," Vanitas seems to tend to minor injuries of the people there or even any Mirrorbound that won't give him a hard time about it. This can be anything from cuts to burns to even some minor sprains. ]



( Anything Else! )

[ If nothing above seems to jive, but you want to do something with Vanitas either just post something and I'll roll with it or hit me up to plan something out. I'm pretty much down for anything! Just poke me on plurk or on Discord. ]

( says someone who... probably was a little worried. if not for lio, maybe for himself? lio wouldn't forgive himself if he put them in a really dangerous situation. he does like van, after all. )

I wonder if I'll ever able to carry someone without feeling too exhausted afterward.

( he stretches out, his wings doing the same as he reaches up toward the sky. )

( oh... he squeezes his eyes shut, but he doesn't frown. nope! he's smiling. )

Time isn't something we all have. his wings twitch. But I'll try to be patient. For you.

( his smile widens. )

Wonder if your magic would allow you to fly...

No, I'm not dying. ( he looks himself over. ) At least I don't think I am.

( and then lio gives van a gentle nudge. )

I just want to make the most out of my time here. With friends.

( grin. )

I found out a few people I knew disappeared, but I don't know how recently.

( don't mind his guilt. at least it's a familiar feeling for him. )

And I haven't really thought about what would happen if I left all of a sudden. That's all.

I'll try my best.

( making memories, anyway. and then he gives van a quick squeeze, pulling him into his side before letting go just as fast. )

I'll remember this for sure.

( the veggie animals and van. )
