[Opening up the feed with only his palm in view, there sit three badges.

]

I'm one step further than when we last spoke, Franziska.

[Vanitas curls his palm shut to block the view of the badges then as he lifts the Gear, regarding the screen with a rather smug look.]

How many badges do you have?

[His tone was making it seem like he was asking more than just Frannie about her badge collecting; Vanitas almost appears as if he wants to hear about others as well. Competition, as it was.]

I'm going to Azalea next, so that will change soon.

How long have you been here to have that many?

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

Five months. [Oh. It's you again.] I wasn't interested in the beginning.

[ ... so he's in Violet. Good. ]

So you made a friend? [ of course this is cheerful, no use Vanitas thinking he scared her off. ]

[Don't be sad that I'm not in close range of Goldenrod anymore, chika.] No. I don't make friends. [His nose is crinkling a little at simply speaking with her.]

What's the point?

[Video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

To prove I'm stronger. [To be powerful. To have some sort of goal. Otherwise I'd be a blob in the burned tower, bored as crap.] Once I have all eight and take down the so called Elites, I will be the most powerful.

Is it fun? Collecting them?

[Give him a moment, he's closing one eye at the word "fun" and almost looking thoughtful.] ... I guess so. [Well, it's fun beating up gym leaders. Though making Whitney cry was boring, since she always cries.]

[Just having arrived in Cherrygrove, Lloyd thinks three badges is a lot. Have some unintentional ego stroking, Vanitas.]

Wow, that's the most I've seen so far! Were they really hard to obtain?

[o y ty, lloyd 8D]

Not particularly, but the traveling is the annoying part. [Ego +5 points. Actually, he even looks like he's inflating just a bit with that smug smile growing.]

[waiwaiku.livejournal.com]

[So, so, so JEALOUS when he sees those badges.]

Eh, I don't have any, I just got here... But I'm on my way to get them all!

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Aw yeah. Too bad Vanitas can't just leech that negative jealous energy off him like he would normally.]

Really? Then be prepared to find me at the top, and I intend to stay there.

*--oh it's that weird Sora-look-alike who apparently knows Asuka*

I have five.

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[Sorry Hayate, he's giving you a look over and making this face.] Five. And how long have you been here?

[dragonspeak]

[Vanitas, why would you even--]

You would pick a fight with her.

[Video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

You know her?

[recrimination.livejournal.com]

[How could he--]

[3/???]

[recrimination.livejournal.com]

[and at the face of her humiliating defeat, too. she knows the answer: she has not one.]

[4/???]

[recrimination.livejournal.com]

[but...]

[5/???]

[recrimination.livejournal.com]

[but...!]

[6/???]

[recrimination.livejournal.com]

[hadn't she resolved that that defeat would not remain a defeat any longer? and beyond all else, has she not been taught to strive for nothing but the utmost perfection in all things?]

[7/???]

[recrimination.livejournal.com]

[this man may have more than she does at this point in time, but it is a challenge. and she, as Franziska von Karma, will rise above any and all challenges.]
