0010; audio; failure to lock at two in the morning -- on nobodies and their faces

[sandinmyboots]

[There's a small click as sharp nails skitter off the audio button, and a mumble that could be 'private to self' before starting a low-voiced ramble.]

[failed private lock]

They look plastic. Does darkness embalm them after it hollows them out?

[A pause. Sheets ruffle. The voice grows closer, louder, higher as it wanders through daydreams.]

[In contrast to Ansem, she sounds mildly irritated.]

Who would look better like what?

[moar voice]

[sandinmyboots]

You'd look better in a short, ice-blue dress with lots of lace. And heels.

[Which is a lie but it is so outrageous he should be able to get away with it. And she would look good looking like a lacy doll. He'll have all this world on strings or dead by the time he ends it all.]

I'm not a they.

You all have winter complexions. How do you feel about Xemnas in blue stockings?

[moar voice]

[vryvryfrigtning]

It's not his color.

[The disbelief colors her dismissal, making it sharper than it might otherwise be.]

Re: [moar voice]

[sandinmyboots]

Alright, I'll make him magenta stockings instead. Are you happy now?

[There is no way he's saying what he really means so easily.]

Re: [moar voice]

[vryvryfrigtning]

Magenta and tan. Are you blind?

[Whyyyyyyy is she talking about this?]

[moar voice]

[sandinmyboots]

Fine! I'll put him in a black and white checkered dress with fishnets and white boots! Are you happy now?

[Because Kefka finds this misdirection useful and amusing.]

[moar voice]

[vryvryfrigtning]

Why would I be?

[moar voice]

[sandinmyboots]

He'll be out of that boring black cloak!

[Operation Fashion Distraction: successful!]

Re: [moar voice]

[vryvryfrigtning]

It's a uniform.

[Partly successful. She hasn't forgotten the original statement. She's just sort-of willing to roll with the topic change for now.]

[moar voice]

[sandinmyboots]

None of you wear it anymore. It'd be nice to see some color in town! Everywhere I look is grit and monotone! Are you stones or rainbows? Kyahahahaihihi...

[He is not stopping until she leaves or gets to the point. Besides, her reactions are hilarious.]

[moar voice]

[vryvryfrigtning]

Why should we bother to accommodate you?

[moar voice]

[sandinmyboots]

You like looking like a scarecrow?

[moar voice]

[vryvryfrigtning]

It's better than looking like a color-blind clown.

[moar voice]

[sandinmyboots]

Ha! I'm the very height of fashion in my world!
