draped in darkness;;

[ He's been here for a while, it seems. This world, whatever it is, did come as a surprise at first, but despite being new, he seems completely neutral to his present situation. By now he's had a chance to get a look around. Oh, yes. And he's seen you. Yes you.

So many people trapped in a single place, and so many that look like him. Will wonders never cease? Either way, he's propped up against a wall, completely silent. Now then... does anyone dare approach this enigma? ]

[She probably wouldn't have bothered to approach him if the young chocobo she was chasing hadn't stopped to inspect him curiously.]

Hey! Get back here! Sorry, he's a little too curious sometimes.

[skybright]

[speaking of-- that's a Sora going past, flipping through a book with a piece of toast in her mouth. she's reading up on Keyblades, what.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ He remains still at first. Soon, though, he gives the chocobo a light kick. ]

Perhaps you should keep a better eye on your pet.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ Another one? Wasn't his name...Sora? He, of course, only knows this due to the state of Ventus' heart, but that is interesting. He'll watch for a moment before pushing himself away from the wall and following closely behind. ]

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

[The chocobo warks at him then hides behind her. Emily just glares.]

Hey, he was just curious. You didn't have to kick him.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ Once again, he's completely unphased. In fact, his tone of voice suggests amusement. ]

Curiosity is hardly a blessing. Fall prey to it, and it may be the last mistake you ever make.

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

There was still no reason to kick him.

[Is annoyed.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Yes, I heard you the first time.

[ Ah, but he really doesn't care. ]

Do you make a habit of repeating yourself?

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

Only to people who dont seem to get it the first time.

[Folds her arms. If you are an enemy of chocobos than you're and enemy of hers.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Oh, I understood you quite clearly.

[ Vanitas is completely heartless. That is, with a lowercase h of course. He could pass as a true Heartless, though, with the way he behaves... ]

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but something tells me you dont really care.

[She'd be able to tell if he was a Heartless though. But she can sense the darkness in him. Which is why she's starting to lead the young chocobo away.]

Just a warning. A lot of people around here dont like seeing animals get kicked. You'd better behave yourself.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ Congratulations, you just earned yourself a Vanitas Laugh ™ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoyTITmAiIc), although it's more of a chuckle, really. ]

Do you really think I'd waste time hunting peoples' pets? I have far more important things to do.

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

[...Raises an eyebrow at him. What is with your creepy laugh?]

I'm sure.

[Totally has her guard up.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ Luckily for her, he feels no inclination to attack. She isn't Ventus or one of his friends, after all. No, he'll continue to lean against the wall. ]

[sketch-replica.livejournal.com]

[Good. She doesn't feel like dying again. Besides, the only thing about her that might interest him would be her darkness. Or her weird heart. Having a nobody and a replica for parents can have interesting results.

Anyway! Taking the young chocobo back to the stables now.]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[A white-haired boy heads on near, rather distracted-looking. One with a rather plain keyblade over his shoulder. He mutters, as he heads along-]

Getting out of practice...

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ Well then... This is interesting. Interesting enough that Vanitas pushes away from the wall and stalks behind Xehanort, watching him very closely. ]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't realise immediately, still thinking out loud.]

Hm. Think I really need to work on the aerial attacks. Those just aren't flowing.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, that's fine. He's pretty stealthy, actually, and tends to catch people off guard. Just ask Ventus, really. For the time being he continues to quietly follow. ]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Mutter, mutter -]

Okay, it's worth another go-

[- and he heads into a training room and looks around.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ And he slips right on in, waiting by the door. Let's see how long it takes him to notice. ]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[One, two, warm up - and in the middle of one of his moves, he catches the figure out of the corner of his eye. Waaait.]

...when did you get here?

[skybright]

[well the difference here would be the boobs, but they're not exactly visible from the back. she looks pretty boyish either way, and doesn't think anything of someone going the same direction as her just yet.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ She's just as observant as Ventus? Tsk. Fine by him. He'll just continue on...and yes, he's noticed the book. ]

Keyblades, hm?

[skybright]

[excuse me, she knows he's there-]

Yeah, I wanted to know more about 'em.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ So it is a girl... Somehow he's still not surprised. ]

Any reason for this interest?

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

I've been here for a while now.

[ He's still fairly relaxed over here. The icon is self explanatory. ]

[skybright]

Weeeeell, it'd be better to know everything I can about the weapon I use, right?

[she's slightly on edge because she remembers a similar outfit and the stuff that went down concerning the person wearing it.]

*finished 358/2 days just 5 seconds ago credits are rolling aaaaah*

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He gives a thin smile.]

Hah. You're good at that, then.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

If you're that desperate, then perhaps you need training from a Master.

[ And Vanitas is arguably worse. He's not possessed, he's just... darkness. ]

Days is so sad...BBS is, too, but I won't spoil.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

It's a useful talent.

[ Cute, and so unlike his Master. Just who is this kid? ]

[skybright]

[bzuh. she stops, staring at him, book in one hand and toast in the other.]

You can train for this kind of thing? Why didn't anyone tell me?

*sniffs and hugs Roxas figure* Haha, I don't mind BbS spoilers, I don't have a PSP.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He gives a chuckle.]

I'm sure it would be. Where did you learn that, then?

Awr, that's a shame, but alright! They may not come up, anyway. His helmet's staying on for now

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

You could say it came naturally.

[ And he had a good teacher, too. ]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

You mean you didn't know? What kind of Keybearer are you if you haven't even trained?

[ He's most likely smirking under that helmet. Sora, you are undoubtedly clueless. ]

[skybright]

[she frowns at him, then munches on the toast a little sullenly.]

It's not my fault. No one's ever even mentioned training under someone. I just got it one day.

Oh, I've seen his pictures. XD But it's all cool.

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[He gives a bit of a headtilt at that. Another thin smile.]

Useful again when these things do, hm?
