( Wool You Lend A Hand )
[ Hadn't they sheered the sheep all the way back months ago? Why is the wool just now being used? Vanitas wonders this, of course, as the word gets around that the person who keeps the sheep needs an extra had. Given the fact that he had been an unwilling participant in the sheering of these sheep in the first place, Van is curious about what the wool is going to be used for this time around.
Really the job itself is easy. Put the wool in the dye. Swirl it around for a while. Take it out. Squeeze. Move it on to dry. Simple! ]
Don't know why he had such a hard time getting people to take on this job.
[ At least... Until Van starts to snicker. At nothing. ]
( An Eggstra Bad Mistake: A )
[ Van is holding a list as he stands before a house, scowling at it. There are several scribbles on the piece of paper. Though he doesn't really look too happy about being here. ]
The idiot pushing his mistakes off on other people to fix. Maybe we should just feed him to this creature he stole the eggs from. Then maybe he'd learn his lesson.
[ Not that he had much of a chance to refuse. The crazed person shoved a list in his hand, rambling, and took off. Now Vanitas is in front of one of the houses, about ready to knock. Someone should probably help him because this isn't going to go well. Vanitas has the mindset of just breaking in and taking what he needs to. ]
( An Eggstra Bad Mistake: B )
[ By now Vanitas has recovered quite a few eggs. They are all being kept into a rather big basket that he's found. Oh he's noticed that he's not the only one carrying eggs back to the Wilde. Just how many people did this moron enlist? How much did he steal!? ]
Anyone else thinking that maybe we should have left the guy to deal with this instead?
[ The problem now is that the eggs in Van's basket are starting to move. He hasn't quite noticed it yet! ]
( Save the Snowbirds )
[ Chances are that Vanitas has grabbed someone to go with him. He's made a promise not to go out into the Wilde on his own if he can avoid it. It doesn't matter who he drags with him - if they look competent enough then that'll have to do. Vanitas is confident that he can make up the difference in skill and strength. He's also grown into a rather adept healer in his time here.
Or, perhaps, you have snatched up Vanitas to come along with you. Either way, with some complaining about worrying about some dumb birds, they will all find their way to the nest. Seeing the state of the area immediately puts Vanitas on edge. ]
Of course it would be like this. At least now we know what happened to the dumb birds.
[ He pulls his Keyblade out, not wanting to risk using magic. That's when little growls and yips can be heard in the background. ]
Looks like it won't be such an easy job after all.
( Other Locations )
[ Vanitas can always be found here and there near the Wilde settlements, either clearing out the areas of wildlife or infected creatures. Or he'll be at the healing tents, offering some services to keep his "skills" sharp. Additionally, he can be found meandering the city this month, perusing through shops looking for gifts and trying not to be obvious about it! ]
( Gift Giving: Closed to CR )
[ Towards the end of the month, Vanitas is going from house to house of all of the people that he knows. At least those that he knows where they live. It seems silly and his ears are burning like mad because of the embarrassment over this, but he hadn't been able to do something of this nature last year. Vanitas had only just started to open up and trust people around this time the year previous, when Mira had brought him in. Since then he's learned a lot and has grown as a person quite a bit.
So he kind of wants to repay that. Don't get him wrong, it's not out of kindness. It has nothing to do with making other people happy or showing them that he appreciates them. Van isn't that soft of a person and he isn't about to say that this is what this is about! No, Vanitas is merely giving back out of some strange obligation to do so.
That's it. No other reason.
So several people are going to be finding Vanitas on their doorsteps - or in some cases just tracking them down and finding them at random times - and trying to shove something into their hands before making a hasty exit. ]
( Wildcard )
[ If nothing above tickles your fancy, by all means just throw something at me and I will roll with it! Or, additionally, hit me up on plurk and we can plot something out. ]

no subject
I hoped you'd say something like that. Wasn't sure if I read things right.
[ Relationship things are new to him. Even though he and Sora have been together for a while... Vanitas is still reading up and learning things. ]
no subject
Heh- Vanitas-!
[He quickly scoops his arms around Vanitas, scooting closer in his chair and wrapping his arms around the other boy to squeeze and hug him a bit obnoxiously.]
I just really like it when you say stuff like that.
[Since being in an actual relationship like this still new for him too! Vanitas has all his Firsts...]
no subject
I'm... Still learning. I want to do things right.
[ Perfectionist that he is and whatnot. He's also greedy, enjoying that he also has so many of Sora's firsts. There are going to be more as well. ]
no subject
Wanna know something?
[He nuzzles Vanitas.]
I'm always scared about screwing stuff up. I wanna do things right all the time. But I think since it's kinda scary it means that we both really wanna try. That should be enough, okay?
[They'll always figure it out, Sora thinks.]
no subject
[ He listens to Sora, tilting his head just so. His eyelashes flutter against the Puca's neck as the other speaks. Scared about screwing up? Van's not the type of person to tell Sora that he shouldn't be. Or that he doesn't screw up. He does. It's a concern. ]
Screwing up is also normal isn't it?
no subject
Yeah, you got that right. Sometimes we screw up and it's only because we're human. It is normal. But no matter what, we'd figure it out together.
[He trusts Vanitas with all his heart. Mistakes might happen, they're both two young boys just trying to figure stuff out. Together is better.]
no subject
Human. Interesting coming from someone with ears, horns, and a tail.
[ Don't worry about it though. Even though he says this, there's also warmth flooding back and forth between their bond. He's actually happy. Stupidly happy. ]
no subject
[Effectively spooned. Sora snorts with a laugh knowing that's how Vanitas is. The affection is still flickering so with a garble from the spoon and pudding in his mouth Sora says,]
Em- Mosshly hooman!
[Said as best he can with the spoon in his mouth!]
no subject
[ Tug tug on those ears! Vanitas snickers and then takes to drinking a bit more of his hot chocolate. ]
no subject
You better eat more of the cheesecake or it's gonna be all in my mouth next.
no subject
[ He opens his mouth. Feed him Sora. ]
no subject
[He's more than happy to feed Vanitas again so another scoop of cheesecake and he spoons that to Vanitas with a wink.]
You can have pudding and eat your cake too.
no subject
Hmmm~
[ Listen to that moan of enjoyment! ]
