I've got a question for you people out there who are competent enough to answer.

[Vanitas is cutting right to the chase with this one, apparently. the image on the feed is even fairly boring: looks like the same walls of the home he's been crashing in for months, and the edge of the feed cuts off right below his chin to reveal the same neutral ( Read more... )

[She does a double take when she sees the charm. That looks like...

No, it was probably just a coincidence, right? It was a pretty popular legend. But the thing that finally sends chills down her spine is the fact that the voice that comes on is disturbingly familiar. And the fact that it was saying it wanted to sever connections while holding something that looked like a charm of connection definitely plows it right into uncanny valley, so Kairi is cautious as she responds.]

.... why do you want to sever it?

[wait until you get a load of his face then, Kairi! Vanitas can hear that uncertainty in her voice, so he makes a point to keep the NV focused right beneath his chin. you'll see what he looks like in due time.]

Let's just say it's not exactly a healthy relationship.

[a pointed pause.]

It's been a while since I last heard from you, Princess.

Unhealthy... for both you and that person?

[She sucks in a breath at that. His way of speaking is still unsettling.]

So I do know you. When I was here before.

But even without my prior memories of the Port, there's still something about you that's familiar.

I couldn't care less what's unhealthy for him-- I'm just looking out for myself.

[to that, he lowers himself slightly. does that nose and mouth look familiar? the wayward wisps of black hair probably don't, though.]

Something the matter?

... so it's causing you pain?

[At this point, she's wondering if he's like Ven and Roxas. identical to Sora in some facial features. But she can't judge without seeing his face.]

... nothing, you just... sound like a friend of mine. As in really sound like alike.

You're as astute as ever, Princess. [in both observations, really. hold on, he's going to set the NV down on a table and have a seat.]

You mean to say I sound like Sora, don't you? There's a good reason for that. [he leans back, shoulders hunched and smug as ever, so that mess of spiky black hair and yellow eyes are in plain sight. he's watching her carefully, calm and casual as you please.]

[She takes in another sharp breath, but doesn't bat an eye at the appearance. She was half expecting it. But if she was able to stand Riku looking like an evil man, what more this. Hell, even Sora as a Heartless didn't stop her. Lucky for Vanitas, no one told her about him yet, so she's not throwing her NV at this revelation or flipping tables about it.]

You're one of those people who's connected to him, then, like Roxas and Ven.

[And a connection that was causing him pain?]

I don't think either of us had any say in the matter, but yes. We're connected.

Is that why you're asking if there's a way to sever a connection with someone? Is it about Sora?

It might seem that way, doesn't it? But I already know how to break my connection with Sora.

... and how?

And if it's not him, then... who is it you have connections to that you're having trouble with...?

[Although the first part is skepticism on her end, the second part actually has a hint of concern in it.]

You really want to know?

[he asks that for both questions.]

[That tone makes her hesitate, but here, have a nod.]

If you can tell me, that is.

You've already named the people I'm connected to. You can probably narrow it down from there.

But as for breaking my connection with Sora? Maybe I've been reading up on the most efficient way to remove another person's head.

[And that puts up the red flag.]

You what?!

[that reaction gets quite a laugh out of Vanitas-- and unlike the pleasant laughter Kairi is likely used to hearing from Sora, his is anything but.]

I think you heard me. What, are you going to try to stop me?
