[Open] Come In From The Cold...

[inlikethebrume]

Who: House Darkness Residents and OPEN
When: All of February
Where: House Darkness in the Haven
What: It's an open log!
Warnings: Shadowbringers Spoilers in some threads possible, possible talk of the Snatched Event

[If anyone knows the residents of the house, it might seem strange that such a group have selected a cozy abode for their home in the city. However, it is not to be said that they are unwelcoming (depending on who) and usually when someone comes to visit, there's always a warm cup of tea ready for them...and maybe some food to go along with it. Feels like a crime if someone doesn't get fed. And despite the hardships of the previous month, the house does welcome guests for any particular reasons whether a visit for the soul, a chat to catch up on events, or even maybe go a few rounds with the poor striking dummy in the backyard.

When you live with sword users and have stress, it gets used, ok?

It might be chilly outside but strange enough, the house itself is pretty warm. Just mind the gaelkitten and Flood running around from time to time.]


((OOC: Feel free to make a top level if you wish! Open to all!))

[darkcharge]

At the very least you won't go completely feral when you do.

[ Because Bonds. By now Sora probably has a plethora of them. ]

[oathkeeper]

Going completely feral? Huh?

[Sora hasn't been told about this concept yet...]

[darkcharge]

[ ...................Peachy. ]

Turning completely into a monster? Losing all sense of yourself to your monster-eque urges? Potentially hurting innocent people?

[oathkeeper]

W-what?! Does that happen to us?! I don't want to hurt anyone?!

[?!?]

But you said I wouldn't go feral, right? That's good...

[darkcharge]

You'll sill transform under the full moon.

[ Shrugs. Dem's just the facts. ]

Though no. You shouldn't go completely feral.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora tugs on his ear as if it's starting to burn already at just the mere mention of the full moon. Gosh.]

I'm glad we're bonded for that, then. [Sora huffs softly.]

[darkcharge]

Even if you weren't Bonded to me, you wouldn't have anything to worry about.

[ Again. Plethora of Bonds or people willing to form those Bonds. ]

[oathkeeper]

[There's a slight flicker of happy embarrassment at that. Vanitas might be right. But still.]

Well? I'm still glad we did!

[He doesn't know if there's anything special about Vanitas being his first one. But there's got to be something about it.]

[darkcharge]

[ Sora. You are the strangest person that Vanitas has encountered - in this world and their own. He still just doesn't understand how this kid works. ]

Do you have any idea how strange you are?

[oathkeeper]

[Sora makes a bit of a face but he does laugh.]

Takes a weirdo to know a weirdo, I guess.

[He smiles playfully. Vanitas is strange too??]

[darkcharge]

At least there is a logical reason for me being the way that I am. What’s your excuse?

[ Playing? What is this playing? ]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora pats his own head.]

Too much space travel, probably.

[He grins. Poking fun at himself is fine. It's funny! and probably kinda true]

[darkcharge]

[ Van looks at Sora for a moment. Then shakes his head and huffs. It is an amused huff. ]

Or that’s just the way you are.

[ Probably what makes this ordinary brat capable of whatever he sets his mind to. ]

[oathkeeper]

[There's something really nice about getting even that amused huff out of Vanitas.]

I guess so. I'm fine being strange, then.

[Sora chuckles.]

[darkcharge]

Now that this is established... I have an errand to run.

[ ...Though he isn't saying Sora can't come. HOwever he does need to pick up some more. Ahem. Sleep aid. ]

[oathkeeper]

[And the note is taken with a bounce in Sora's step.]

Mind if I tag along?

[darkcharge]

I suppose if that is what you want to do...

[ Because whatever. It's fine. ]

It won't be exciting.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora moves to fall in step with Vanitas, his arms coming to fold behind his head.]

Maybe along the way I can get used to the city a bit more. It's pretty big! What do you need to do?

[darkcharge]

Oh... I just need to pick up a potion. Nothing major.

[ Vanitas just shrugs. He had run out of whatever that shop sells to help with sleeping problems. ]

[oathkeeper]

A potion? What kind of potion?

[Curious Sora is curious.]

[darkcharge]

The kind that put you to sleep.

[ Because he struggles with it, clearly. ]

[oathkeeper]

Oh. Right.

[Sora's chin tucks downwards a bit.]

I'm guessing that sort of stuff isn't too hard to find.

[darkcharge]

Around here? No. There's plenty of places to buy stuff like that.

[ Vanitas smirks. ]

I hear monster parts sell for high prices.

[oathkeeper]

Monster parts?! Vanitas! That's not funny!

[Sora says, as he's laughing a bit as if it's a little weird and funny.]

No thanks!

[darkcharge]

[ Van isn’t laughing though. ]

Who said I was joking, Sora? There is a black market you realize.
