[People should be careful. There are a lot of Unversed in this one part of the dressing room. They tiny blue ones seem to be searching for something. Or someone. A Vanitas is leaning against a wall, watching them.]

Do I really have to spell it out for you?

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

You want me to leave.

[ He shakes his head. Someone's curious. ]

Is there a particular reason why you've called these Unversed?

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

Curiosity won't get you anywhere right now. My business is my business.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ Hah hah... ]

Is there something wrong?

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

Do you really want to stay here longer? I have things to do.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ And now, a shot in the dark... ]

Such as spending time with a certain Princess?

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

[Headtilt. Take that as you will.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Hn.

[ Maybe this isn't the one... Well, that was a waste. And now... a slow turn away. ]

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but the other day I encountered a Kairi. She claimed to be 'friends' with another version of me.

[ A slow step, and... ]

How useless.

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

This place brings in various alternates. An alternate, perhaps?

[Duh. Case in point, derpVan.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't surprise me.

But it was worth a try. Call it curiosity.

[ derpVan is different. This Kairi thought he was... Well, it's obvious that it has to be a more 'normal' Van. ]

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

[Cool story, bro. :|b]

Anything else you want to inquire me about?

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

[ Leaving now... Or starting to. ]

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

[Get out of here, shoo. Well, it's not like he totally lied.

he just didn't say anything |D

And he IS looking for Ven anyway. One of those Unversed comes back with a piece of ribbon leftover from Valentine's day. Oh Ven.]

[Here comes Kairi down the hall, she had been following one of those Unversed, careful not to provoke them into attacking her though. When she notices two Vanitas though, she's going to pause, cautious.

Did I forget to mention she's got a duct taped frog patterned crutch? Her limp isn't totally gone yet.] Uh.. [What's she supposed to even do to figure out if either of them could be the one she's looking for? What if neither of them are? What if they're just like that other one said..

Clears her throat.] Vanitas? [Bites her lip and looks between them.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Hello, Princess.

[ His tone is pretty mocking. Sound familiar? ]

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

[... he doesn't respond much. He'll wait until other Vanny is gone.]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[With one not saying anything and the other speaking with that tone, she knew which one she had to avoid at least. Frowning and taking a step back.]

Wrong ones I guess.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Afraid so, Princess. Seems this one isn't the one you care so deeply for.

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

'Care for?'

[Headtilt-o.]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[She's not about to explain this to two of them now, frowning more and turning to walk away.] He's my friend, of course I care.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

A bond like 'friendship' is still useless. Why would any version of me bother to make such a pitiful connection?

I can't speak for him, but personally... I have one goal, and said goal is impossible here.

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

Why do you think he's even a friend?

[He's so curious. Damnit woman. B|]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

He helped me several times, and he taught me how to defend myself. [And I feel something different when I'm with him.

Not like she's saying that out loud though--for that matter, why is she even explaining herself?]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

It's a ruse. Like I said, you're the perfect shield.

[sucima-oeled.livejournal.com]

You think that's enough to be a friend?
