FRIENDS WANTED;

[From door to door, Ventus travels the Dressing Room, planting posters along the walls.

These posters include a rather rough drawing, mostly scribbles, but it at least slightly resembles a Kairi...with yellow eyes. The poster reads:

FRIENDS WANTED:
This is Kairi. She doesn't have many friends here, and that's really gotta change. She's a great person who's a lot of fun, and I'm sure she'd love to meet new people!

Sometimes she wears Vanitas armor, but don't worry; she's not dangerous at all!

And yes, he will be putting these everywhere. When he can't reach places on foot, he'll simply use his Glider!]

[vanitas tries to sit up in bed but ends up having to hold his head when he gets dizzy.]

Where...?

[he's a little disoriented.]

[dressing room. dressing room... now he remembers, but he cocks his head in a way that suggests he's uncertain of the memory.]

Out where?

[the mention of kairi gets a bigger reaction out of him than anything else he says initially. everything's there, it's just all jumbled up.]

χ-blade... I couldn't...

[he stares down at his hands.]

And now...

[vanitas raises his head to stare at ventus. he doesn't answer the question but asks one of his own.]

Ventus... Who am I?

[that's not what he meant, and he takes a moment to try to fit the pieces together in his mind to understand what's happened.]

I stole something. Not from you, but from who you will be.

[when was the last time vanitas conversed with you like this, ventus? he's not exactly trying to provoke anybody.]

I couldn't go on alone, but I couldn't...

[vanitas holds his head again.]

I took a piece of him.

[he moves his hand from his head to his chest, feeling his chest again.]

Now there's something...more...

My heart...

[that's strange. hmm.]

Yes.

Torn. I knew I was only a half before, but that division wasn't in my heart. Now... I don't know what it is.

[ventus won't be able to see it, but vanitas is frowning.]

The darkness is still there. I can feel it, but there's something else too. I don't know if it's light, but I remember things now. I remember two different lives and I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to live now.

[vanitas is tempted to attack ventus. for a moment, it feels right, but there's this new part of him that is dead-set against it. the urge passes, and vanitas decides it's best that he not tell ventus what his heart is telling him.]

You sound like Riku.

[for the first time, vanitas experiences what it's like to miss someone. he does not like it.]

[identity profile] nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com 2010-10-06 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
He's Sora's best friend. Kairi, too.

[vanitas has this annoying feeling. an itch making him want to apologize, but he's stubbornly repressing it.]

Is she okay?

[identity profile] nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com 2010-10-06 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[he's trying to act uninterested while this other part of him obnoxiously begs for more information.]

Keep her safe.

[pause.]

Do you know who Roxas is?

Do you know about his connection to you?
