VII. [Video] Oh boy. Earlier in the Afternoon:

[not_obsess3d]

[The NV clicks and chirps, making a strange little squiggly noise as it records a random video.

A fun video.

Here, it shows Xemnas in his business getup. With a blond kid clinging to him.

...Wait, what.

That's right. That kid - Ventus - is attached to the Nobody like a koala to a eucalyptus tree. And he's so happy about it. Unfortunately,

[ Now you know what it feels like to be Vexen.

Also, he's trying so hard not to grin. But..it's just not working. That little smirk on his face. That dirty smirk. You just know he wants to laugh. ]

Yer little phone seems t' be incapable o' spellin', cap'n.

Also, ye got a right nasty Bilge rat that be tryin'a get cozy with yer shirt. [ Except wait. Why was there a bunch of nautical nonsense spitting out of his communicator in what was clearly not his voice? D:

Trololololollan: backfired. ]

[ video] /DIES

[not_obsess3d]

Surely there is some mistake.

[Yes, there is a sarcastic undertone to this. He then pauses.]

...And yours, apparently, has been hacked into.

[Good job, Vexen. Good job. You get points for trying.]

[ video] THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE :D

[glacialis_nemo]

[ B[ That snide little smirk on his face quickly deadpanned to something burly and frustrated. Well. At least he gets effort points. ]

Aye, I be seein' that.
[ Mutters something else under his breath, hitting up the registry to delete some stuff. And it's gone! Safe to talk! ]

Make sure ye be remindin' me t'make our own network a'fore this thing be the end o' me. [ >:| Except not. Seems like it's in more files than he thought. This was going to be a job for text, apparently.. ]

[ video] Yeeee XD

[not_obsess3d]

[His brow furrows, but the rest of his expression is left unchanged.]

Indeed. I am certain that can be arranged in other ways.

[video]

[got_it_memorizd]

[Just... this face. For a good ten seconds.]

Wow, chief, who knew you were so hip with the kids these days?

[video]

[not_obsess3d]

[Oh gosh. There is a sigh, but it never fully escapes him.]

Axel.

[The way he says the name had an edge to it, but it is restrained back into that neutral tone.]

Believe me when I say it was not my choice.

[video]

[got_it_memorizd]

Oh good, you do remember me! I was worried, you know--out of sight out of mind and all that. [He grins.] Dare I ask what prompted this little heartfelt show of affection?

[video]

[not_obsess3d]

How can I ever forget...?

[He shakes his head.]

I would like to know the answer to that question as well.

[petalsofdeath]

[Marluxia looks unimpressed with the Superior's new pet.]

It looks like I am not the only one with a child discipline problem.

[not_obsess3d]

[Thank you, Marluxia. For this statement.]

Of course. Because I happen to deal with children all of the time.

[petalsofdeath]

[He needs to state his defiance when he can, and take solace in your discomfort.]

Why not just beat it free from your body?

[not_obsess3d]

[Taking these shots does not matter to him, but still.]

If I so desired, I would.

1/several what have you two done

[todomarishi]

[Huh?]

[todomarishi]

[What the...?]

[todomarishi]

[... Sweet merciful light. Why is Ven...? Why would he...? What's gotten into him...?!]

[todomarishi]

[Terra finds he can't even get mad at Xemnas - oh, he wants to, but the recording clearly shows this isn't the Nobody's doing.]

video; 1/3

[destinysembrace]

[Kairi might be new and just getting settled in, but so far Siren's port isn't as weird as she thought it'd be! Especially with her friends here.

Until this comes up, that is.

She's pretty sure that's Ven and the bad guy that everyone was fighting at home so.]

video; 2/3

[destinysembrace]

[She's left staring at the screen for a while, with the blingee border around it and all.]

video; done

[destinysembrace]

... Ven, I think... you should come down.

[Even if her face is twitching as she tries not to laugh, she's still worried about the boy.]

video;

[not_obsess3d]

[The girl receives a look. Yes, he remembers her too. Hello, dear heart.

He'll let Ventus take this one.]
