003 ◘ Something Different (backdated to Sunday morning)

[It's another shot of the dusty, desert-like place from before. This time, however, it's not long before the image settles on the masked boy who lives there...a boy who happens to look much smaller, all of the sudden

Comments

[It's another comment that was lost to Oblivion-]

[Aqua was just sleepily looking through the feeds, letting the little ones play in the park when she sees that far too familiar scenery- The Keyblade Graveyard was dragged here, too!? But... that wasn't the only thing that caught her eye. She's now busy staring. Staring at a far too familiar face. The only time he'd seen a face on him was when he possessed Ven, but this...

She really should have seen this coming. The bitty part wasn't much of a surprise. What shocked her into silence was that he looked...]

[destinedwaters]

...Vanitas?

[-Darn her motherly tendencies overriding her hatred of her would-be murderer.]

[Someone else? Geez, who made this dumb thing, anyway? And why can't he just break it?

...wait a minute.]

How do you know my name?

[He sounds as suspicious as a child his age can possibly sound - he's not a fan of the attention, that's for sure.]

[destinedwaters]

[Who really even knows? One thing's for sure: it seems toddler-proof thus far. ...and now she's trying not to laugh at the complete irony of this.]

I'm a friend of the 'family.' [More like: How is the demon child so smaaaaaall? Also, deal with it. She saw Kairi respond to this, and she has to keep the small child safe.]

[Family? What's she talking about? Not that it matters.]

Yeah, well, I don't need any friends. Go away!

[destinedwaters]

[So he doesn't remember anything at all. Hm...]

Doesn't sound like it to me. [Nope, not going.]

video;

[forgingoblivion]

Yeah, well, what do you know?

[Besides his name. She probably just guessed, anyway.]

Friends just cause problems. I'm way stronger by myself!

[destinedwaters]

I know plenty of things, Vanitas. Most adults do.

[Suddenly his attitude problem from even before the bitty was becoming apparent. He really was a child that lacked so much. Still-- Ugh, this is so confusing!]

No child is better alone. [She'll give a smile, regardless of how much she hates what the older him has done. ...He's just a child, now.]

[forgingoblivion]

Yeah right! Adults are just as dumb as everyone else.

[Geez, this kid. Vanitas may be smaller, but his attitude problem is nowhere near gone.

He just doesn't get it. Working with other people only slows you down...and besides, no one has ever tried to befriend him before. He wouldn't have listened to something like that!]

And why not? I've never needed any help before.
