Summary: Vanitas wakes up and decides to observe his new surroundings.
Warnings: Vanitas being a creeper counts, right?

[ Room 1-18 ]

Well, this was a... predicament. First, he succeeded at ripping out Sora's heart and then he was brought...here. Okay, fine, he could manage that, but one question:

Where the hell was here exactly? Also, why was he dressed in this revolting white bodysuit? That, and why did he feel like he had something around his neck? His hand moved up and he touched the collar around his neck and got up out of his bed to observe himself in the mirror.

"Tch."

Well, that was another thing he had to work with then. First, find out where he was and how he was brought here. Then, find out who collared him like a damned dog and put an end to them permanently.

Oh, was the Tower ready for his unrelenting hate? It better be.

[ Hallways ]

Once he was properly dressed with his helmet and bodysuit, as well as what was rightfully his, he decided to check out who was here and get some intel going. Information was what he liked and if he had to pretend to be the nice guy, then so be it.

So, if he noticed you and you look like someone who knows some stuff, guess who's suddenly ~*~popular~*~.

"Hey. Got a moment?"

Comments

[technologic]

[April blinks over at him when he calls out to her, the Bullfairy sitting on her shoulder staring at him curiously as the redhead turns to face him.]

Ah, sure. What is it?

[keyprise]

[ Vanitas' eyes stay on her own and he decides to be as nice as humanly possible for him. ]

Well, I don't know too much about my surroundings, so I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping a guy out.

[technologic]

[Another blink, before she gives a few nods.]

Ah, okay. Well, you're currently in a nameless tower that has no means of escape right now and it's run by administrators called Riki, Dax, Ruana, Zo and Jason, who say they 'saved us' from our worlds. Though it's still unknown what's actually happened to our worlds.

Also, monsters tend to roam around the tower, mainly at night, and the people who run this place like to conduct experiments on us, which are usually kinda deadly.

[earthshards]

[... You have got to be kidding him, Vanitas. Sure, he has the hood of his coat up, so his face is hidden and his heart masked from those that could sense it.

Sure, he might be on the way down to the library to return a book he'd borrowed. Even if he was still reading it.

... okay, so maybe he at least looked like he knew where he was going. But what are the odds?

The white is new (he thinks). But all of that Darkness in one place is hard to forget.

... Better be careful.] Possibly.

[Maybe he'll be lucky, and the kid won't remember what he sounds like.]

[keyprise]

[ Well, now. This was a new thing - especially with what he knows of what happened.

So, he'll take his place up against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest as he observes Terra up and down. ]

What, was being Xehanort's vessel not enough for you?

[ Oh, yeah. He remembers that moment clearly. ]

[reversedestiny]

What?

[Sora's not in a giving mood. Luckily, he doesn't know too much about Vanitae.

He's sitting in the cafeteria, frowning as he plays with his Shadow that's sitting in his lap.]

[keyprise]

[ It's then that Vanitas pauses to observe Sora in full before making his judgment on the boy. Okay, not his Sora. That he can deal with.

Maybe.

It just makes him all the more interesting. ]

Oh, if you're gonna be like that, then I won't bother.

Hallways - Also if this isn't okay lemme know and I'll fix it

[attheclocktower]

[She freezes the moment she hears the voice behind her. She had to wonder, to tell the truth, if there was some kind of sick joke the Tower's admins were playing on her. She'd only found out - dared to venture and look at door names - just recently that Vanitas was gone again.

But there was no mistaking that voice.

There's a brief second where she freezes, every muscle tense, then she whips around, jumping back to put as much distance between her and the one behind her as possible, drawing her Keyblade in a flash of light and holding it in a defensive stance, trying to keep herself steady and not be rattled that he's back. Again.

She pauses briefly once she sees him, a little confused - the colors are different, and the helmet is new. But the voice is the same, and she... isn't ready to let her guard down yet.]

What do you want?

[keyprise]

[ Vanitas isn't any stranger to having Keyblades being summoned against him. In fact, that comes with the territory of being the "bad guy".

So, he'll stop and turn his head so that she knows he's at least acknowledged her. Though, at the moment, he's as calm as one can be - which isn't that far for him. ]

Tsk, tsk - already pointing a Keyblade at me? Don't you have any respect for those who might be unarmed?

[hero_of_smiles]

[Can Vanitas see that there's a lot of light in this boy and a little darkness brewing, even if he's not from the kh universe? Well if not whatever, this boy looks over when he's asked that one little question.]

Oh, yeah, sure. What is it?

[keyprise]

[ To a degree. That just means he'll have to try to corrupt it somehow. Vanitas will just wave like the good boy scout he is. ]

Got anything useful on this place?

[capax_infiniti]

[Ohhh Vanitas, you picked the wrong day to exist. He doesn't even need to come up to the old master... as soon as Xehanort's golden eyes spot him, he's there.]

Again? You really must decide whether you're coming or going.

What has transpired this time, if anything?

[keyprise]

[ The first thing that Xehanort might notice is that the helmet's emblem now bears the Unversed symbol emblazoned on it. Then, he no longer has the red and black bodysuit he used to have - it's just white. Odd, isn't it?

Though, what's even more peculiar is how he chooses his words: ]

What, is the biggest change not noticeable enough?

[keybearer]

[Riku bristles when he hears that voice. He recognizes it right off the bat, thanks to the previous Vanitas.

Narrowing his eyes and clenching his fists, he whips around and... stares. After all, the white getup is new. Still, he can't let his guard down. Not when he doesn't know what to expect.]

What do you want?

[keyprise]

[ Well, this is a sight for sore eyes. Vanitas' eyes are hidden by his helmet, but he's definitely interested that Riku is here. ]

Do you suspect everyone at first glance?

[unexculpable]

[Ed quirks an eyebrow]

Sure, I guess. You new here?

[keyprise]

You could say that. I just want to know what to watch out for.

[tempus_scorpius]

[Rolo is just going to look over at him silently when he's called out to.]

[keyprise]

[ Like that, Vanitas will raise his hand and wave at Rolo. ]

Not the talkative type?

Hallways

[forceless]

"For you? Not really."

Yeah, it would kind of be an understatement to say that Ven was sick and tired of seeing Vanitas around here, and now so more than ever. It hadn't taken him that long to realize that the other was here, and even when he had, he definitely had more important things to do. So his tone and face was very much one of impatience and annoyance.

[keyprise]

Well. This was...unexpected. A Ventus, but not his Ventus. He had to wonder just how many people here possessed his heart and how he'd be able to factor this in his plan.

But, he did notice that Ven was capable of fighting back. Good. Otherwise, he'd go after his friends with no regrets.

"Look around you. Do you think you can run away for long?"

[justiceerror]

[...Popular huh?

Well, he was always a popular guy. So much so that no one suspected him of being a killer until it was too late. Oops.]

Perhaps.... who's asking?

[keyprise]

[ It's not the popularity you'd be wanting, Battler. ]

Just that guy in the corner. [ That's said in the most sarcastic tone possible. ]

[firstofthefallen]

[Of course. Not that Lucifer was entirely against giving aid like this, but having a wave of yet more people coming in was....annoying, to a point. It just reminded him how much stronger the abilities of their captures to someone others here was over his own ability to leave.

So excuse him when he seems perhaps a bit terse at answering Vanitas summons.]

Yes, what is it?

[keyprise]

[ Vanitas was used to the terseness, in all honesty. Being the villain he was, especially with his previous experiences both learned him and made him into the person he was today. ]

I just wanted some information about this place. Guess this place wears someone down.
