Nov Catch-All

Who: Vanitas + Open
When: All throughout November
Where: Various
What: There are some open prompts and also some closed ones in comments. I can write individual starts for anyone who would be interested in threading something out.
Warnings: None, yet



( Magic Practice: All Month )

[ Vanitas has always excelled when it comes to magic. His elemental spellwork has always been top notch. Thus it shouldn't come as a surprise that he's taken to evocation and enchantment as his main fields of "study." Yes, he actually attends classes. Though usually Vanitas tends to stick towards the back, hood always drawn up to keep his face hidden. He doesn't openly question or mock instruction, though his body language always says he's disinterested.

There are moments where he is also found in the library, perusing over textbooks and reading theories. Vanitas also carries around paper that he's scribbling notes in.

Otherwise, he spends his time in the barracks, actually practicing. Be careful, though. There's plenty of fireballs flying to hit the intended target. The air is charged with electricity. And one only mildly irritated Vanitas complaining about how it's just not good enough. ]



( Incompatible: All Month )

[ There is, however, magic that Vanitas has never been taught. Either Xehanort had never bothered or the opportunity never really revealed itself. He's sitting down, out of the way, as he's pulling up the sleeve of his coat. There's a fresh burn there, probably from some earlier practice gone wrong - magic gone awry. ]

Sloppy...

[ He is irritated with himself. His hand hovers over the burn and he takes a deep, focusing breath. Sure enough, the soft glow of a very basic healing spell makes itself known... For three seconds before it just fizzles out. The result is a very, very agitated Vanitas that knocks over anything on the table instead. ]

Why won't it work!?


( Coven Grounds: All Month )

[ He pays very little mind to anyone as he comes and goes about the Coven. They aren't important enough to even catch his notice. However, every once and while one of the unbonded monsters sees him and sees fit to approach him. He throws up a hand and keeps walking. Every time. ]

Not interested.

[ Sometimes this exchange is witnessed by someone else. A witch. Another monster. Maybe someone bonded maybe someone that isn't. Either way they see fit to interject themselves, trying to tell him about the benefits to being bonded to another. Why he should consider it, because in the end it's unavoidable right?

Vanitas is, as always, disinterested. He couldn't care less about these bonds. How can he want something that is just a mockery of what he should have? ]


Why is it you can't get through your little heads that maybe some people are fine the way they are? No, I don't care what you have to say. I don't want it. So back off before I give you a reason to stay away.

[ He'll follow through with the threat, of course. ]


( Unfamiliar Familiars: After Nov 20 )

[ In the past, Vanitas has never bothered to keep track of his Unversed. He's never had to, being connected to them in such a way that he knows where they are at all times. After all, they are a part of him, his broken off emotions. Their entire purpose is to go out and collect more negative energy, whether through natural means or by creating it themselves.

This is why he doesn't keep the lone little Flood by his side. It's free to do as its pleases. The connection is different now, the creature no longer able to replicate or perform its intended functions. However that's not going to stop it for what its nature is.

The item in your hand that you're thinking about buying? Maybe that piece of food that you're about ready to take a bite out of? One moment it's there and the next it's being snatched up by this blue rabbit-looking thing and taking off. Or maybe the Flood is seen scurrying along the streets, pausing only to scare a small child or a baby in a stroller before going about its business once more. ]



( Wildcard )

[ Of course, there is always the option to just do whatever your heart wants if no other prompts inspire. Alternatively, I can write a starter for you or you can get in touch with me at [plurk.com profile] jardaan if you want to do something. ]

unfamiliar faces

[ If there's one thing that Aqua is bound to recognize, it's unversed. She's defeated so many in the past that it's instinct for her to attempt to defeat it. It's why the mere sight of it has her immediately running forward, attempting to capture it. Without her keyblade, she can't very well defeat it.

But, that does make her wonder why its here. With their abilities hindered, how on earth could Vanitas could have made it? It's a question she can try to figure out later. Right now, she just needs to make sure it doesn't hurt anyone.

With her new dragon-like wings, running doesn't feel the same as it used to. Still, she manages to chase it - running as quickly as her legs can carry her. ]


Stop!

[ Luckily for Aqua, she's been focusing on controlling her wings. She folds the ice-like wings in so they're flat against her back, running into that alley without slowing down. ]

[ It doesn't matter where it's going. No matter where it tries to go, Aqua's not going to let it out of her sight.

She follows it - reptilian-like eyes taken it in as she continues to run. ]

[ Rude?? She feels bad for the child, but what its doing is all the more reason for Aqua to hurry.

She ignores the stares that she receives, continuing to move. ]

[ Aqua stops when the Flood scurries up the tree, her sharp, blue-colored eyes following it before she looks to Vanitas.

It's then that she frowns, her wings folding outwards ]


Control your Unversed.

Its yours, isn't it?

[ Don't make her fly up there, Vanitas. She's been practicing. ]

[personal profile] lightblooming 2019-11-12 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Fine, have it your way.

She readies herself then, leaning down before she gives her wings one strong flap - sending her flying upwards onto the branch that Vanitas is sitting on. Unfortunately, that's all she can manage right now. ]


If its yours, you can control it.

Then, if it keeps causing trouble I'll find a way to stop it myself.

[ She's growing increasngly more mad just speaking to him like this. She's still upset about what happened during the masquerade. ]

Stop trying to change the subject. Haven't you done enough damage here?

[ It's a bad idea to try to anger her further right now. ]

What does that have to do with me?

[ He brought her up. She doesn't understand why. ]

Of course I know it's not that easy. [ Aqua frowns. ] ... It took Terra and I years to learn to calm our hearts.

But, they're your monsters. They did your bidding back in other worlds. ... I don't know how that Unversed is here, but now that it is - I won't let it hurt the people here.

[ Her eyes widen at that, guilt evident in her expression before she looks to him defiantly. ]

That isn't the same and you know it.
