[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!))

[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.

[oathkeeper]

[Oh.......... He thought Vanitas was joking. His expression falls as he sweatdrops.]

What? No way.

[Hello? He doesn't want monster parts to be sold?!]

You don't buy them, do you?!

[darkcharge]

I'm a Witch. Some items are necessary for spells and whatnot.

[ He's pulling Sora's leg. Vanitas has nothing to do with all that, actually. He isn't a potion-maker. ]

[oathkeeper]

Vanitas?! No way?!

[Sora is a gullible creature and he's totally buying into the leg-pulling here!]

That's not right! How do you think those monsters feel?! I wouldn't want my parts sold?!

[darkcharge]

[ There is a rather long pause.

Then Vanitas loses it. He just starts to laugh. And laugh. ]

[oathkeeper]

[...........WHAT]

Vanitas! That's not fair! You made me think you meant that!

[Sora gives a mighty pout and crosses his arms over his chest.]

[darkcharge]

[ For the most part, Vanitas keeps at it until his chuckling finally ceases. He rubs the back of his neck, looking so very smug. ]

I don't make potions and stuff, Sora. What need would I have for monster parts?

[oathkeeper]

[SIGH. Sora feels so trolled.]

I don't know, there's lots I don't know about you! Maybe you were being serious? But you weren't! I don't know!

[huff huff]

I'm glad you don't use monster parts...

[He doesn't know how he feels about that aspect. It's too weird.]

[darkcharge]

I could have been serious, of course.

[ He grins, locking his hands behind his head as he continues to walk to that tea shop. ]

Anyway, it's a good thing that you don't know. Makes it easy for me to keep you guessing and on your toes.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora watches Vanitas walk a step ahead before he follows after him quickly.]

I think you just like making people squirm.

[:T]

[darkcharge]

[ All Vanitas does in response is chuckle. ]

I thought that this was an obvious fact about me. Of course I like making people squirm.

[oathkeeper]

[He shakes his head in return.]

Someday someone's gonna get you back, you know.

[Like him--]

[darkcharge]

[ Van's shrug is wayyyy too casual. ]

I invite someone to try. Might make things interesting for a change.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora nudges Vanitas' shoulder with his own.]

And if you end up regretting that kind of wish??

[What if he gets pranked really bad??]

[darkcharge]

[ The returning grin is almost feral. Are you sure you want to get into that, Sora? ]

There's nothing about it that I would regret.

[ This is the guy who hadn't cared if he won or lost, Sora. Do you expect him to care if he is in over his head or not? ]

[oathkeeper]

[There's something oddly competitive about this and Sora returns that feral grin with a grin of his own. Albeit more sora-like.]

Alright, I'll keep that in mine! [hehe.] So, where's this shop you need to go to?
