Week 0 - for Vanitas

[alchemicalwater]

[Once the day is over and they are back in their room, Undine seems...relieved, maybe? It looks like she just had a huge weight taken off of her shoulders. But she's only showing this in the safety and privacy of their room, up until that door was shut and locked she looked the same as she always does: trying to be polite, but generally concerned.

So yeah. This is quite a change for her.]

There's one down, at least.

[That was more said to herself, but it's still audible. The next part is said directly to Vanitas, though.]

We need to talk.

Comments

[lightdecrement]

[ When they got there, he plopped down on his bed rather roughly. Already regretting he didn't gank a burger from that...dog? person? in the corner.

Though Undine's change is something. ]

Then talk.

[ It's said rather flippant. ]

[alchemicalwater]

It's just that, well, you can be a little...abrasive?

[That is a nice way of putting it at least.]

And I'm not really going to complain about how you treat me, but if you're like that to other people then you might draw the wrong kind of attention to us.

[lightdecrement]

Look who's growing more of a spine.

[ Looks like she really does value her own life after all. ]

In case you didn't realize, we're going to have the wrong kind of attention sooner or later. Why wait?

[alchemicalwater]

[Excuse u she always had a spine. She just had to pick it up off the floor first.]

Because if we wait, then the bloodthirsty individuals out there will get taken out first.

I worry because we can't stick to each other like glue, and I can't watch your back when we're separated. If we're together it's fine, we can look out for each other, but it looks like the people here are going for 'divide and conquer.'

[lightdecrement]

[ Sitting up as he looks at her. Then he's going to slowly grin. ]

Then we can take out whomever is left.

[ He's honestly surprised. She was acting all goodie at the host and now she's saying this. ]

Fine, we can stick together. Can't have anyone erasing you before the end.

[alchemicalwater]

[Undine has hidden depths, especially in a game with batshit crazy people like Junko. She can keep her head down when need be.

Though she'd rather not take out whoever is left, but she's not telling Vanitas that. And it's for the exact same reason: keep her head down, do what's expected of her, and she will survive.]

That works for me. Let's wait at least two more trials before we do anything, to see what happens. It's a bad idea to try anything risky without any information.

I'm sorry

[lightdecrement]

[ Those are very good plans, Undine. ]

Getting information should be easy for you. You look innocent.

[ Very squishy. Though the topic of information does being something to mind. ]

Since we have to play nice, you should know there is someone from my world here.

don't be sorry it's great

[alchemicalwater]

[Well he's not WRONG, but. Something about the way he says that feels almost insulting.

The other part is interesting, though.]

Oh? Is there?

[lightdecrement]

[ Everything is an insult or a demand. ]

His name is Terra. He's a lot like you.

[ That's also not exactly a compliment. ]

[alchemicalwater]

[OH BOY]

I think I talked to him once, briefly. Is he someone we need to worry about?

[lightdecrement]

He'll be suspicious of me, but he'll do whatever he can to protect this body.

[ That's not weird at all right ]

[alchemicalwater]

um...

['this body']

Why?

[lightdecrement]

[ It's a long story so he'll just offer a shrug, while looking like he's sharing an inside joke. ]

Ventus is one of his precious friends.

[alchemicalwater]

[That is. Definitely inside joke material.]

Ventus...? Is that someone you know?

[lightdecrement]

[ Just going to put a hand over his heart. ]

You could say that. He's my other half.

[ Yeah lets make this even more weird. ]

[alchemicalwater]

Other half?

...like a soulmate?

[She now thinks Vanitas and Ventus are married and Terra is somehow involved in this.]

[lightdecrement]

The other half of my heart.

[ Which still doesn't clear stuff up. ]

[alchemicalwater]

...right.

[Still thinking about marriage there.]

And Terra is friends with your 'other half'?

[lightdecrement]

Best friends. They even had the same dream.

[ He sounds annoyed at that. weird love triangle? ]

We should be able to use him.

[alchemicalwater]

[WEIRDOS]

Ah, well, that's good at least. Having someone we can count on here is important.
