[ This Vanitas sure doesn't seem to be doing much, does he? No Unversed appear in the halls, and he's just sort of... there. Standing in the middle of the hall, blankly staring at nothing in particular.

Were it not for his helmet, one might notice his rather blank eyes. At this rate, you could punch him, flick him in the helmet, or draw scribbles on his visor, and he really wouldn't care.

Certainly not the Creeper people love to hate, huh? ]

[ ooc: Follow up to doublecrunch's post. I'll still be doing backtags on the fight post in due time. As for spoilers, there probably will be some. Tread carefully.

He'll be back to normal in a few days, so enjoy this while it lasts. ]

[... um. was this the Vanitas guy Riku was talking about? Sora's going to err on the side of caution and stand a ways away, just watching him curiously.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

... ... ...

[ He doesn't move much, though one hand clenches into a fist. ]

[soracles.livejournal.com]

[if he's not going to say anything, then Sora will pipe up first.]

Hello? Anybody alive in there?

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

...

Key... blade...

[ His voice is soft, without any real inflections. He sounds blank and maybe a little bit dazed. ]

[soracles.livejournal.com]

Um.. Yeah, there are lots of people here who've got them. Are you okay?

[Sora has no reason to suspect anything, really, and this zombie guy doesn't really look like he'll be starting any fights-- so he starts walking closer.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Forge... the χ-blade.

[ It sounds just like "Keyblade", although he means something else entirely. ]

[soracles.livejournal.com]

Huh? How do you forge a Keyblade?

[Sora's starting to wonder if Van's got a few screws loose, stepping closer and patting his arm.]

C'mon. You sound like you need a nap, or something.

...

[ When Sora touches Van's arm, he swats it away. Though he may not realize it, Vanitas is looking at him carefully. ]

Tell me... where...

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ There are far too many Vanitae around here lately. Kairi is staring at him warily, paused in the hallway ahead of him. ]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

...

[ He slowly looks over to Kairi. ]

Princess...

[ It was the first thing that came to mind! ]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ She frowns and steps closer at the odd response. ]

Vanitas?

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Tell me where Ventus is.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

No.

[ That is much more familiar, and has her tensing up again. ]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Why?

[ He sounds genuinely curious, if not a bit monotone. ]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

Because I won't let you hurt him.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Hurt... Ventus?

I am... Ventus. Why would I...?

[ Nope, sorry, Kairi. He's still a bit messed up. ]

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ At first, he's completely still. However, in time he looks at the two Unversed and then steps out of the way. ]

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

And I thought Ventus was slow.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Slow...?

[ ...Was that...?

He turns towards his double and stares. ]

...

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

...On second thought, perhaps 'broken' is a better word.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Have you seen Ventus?

[vanityunbcoming.livejournal.com]

Who wants to know? You? You've already had your chance.

[stillashadow.livejournal.com]

[Have a Namine watching you curiously, Van.]

...Are you, alright?

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ He turns his head towards her, but otherwise he's silent. ]
