[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.]

...We have the same ones.

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

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

My next one'll probably be in Olivine.

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[His smug expression from a few minutes ago was quieting into something more... calm.] Olivine is the one west of Goldenrod, hm?

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think so. Rika says the beach is huge.

[And he looks just a touch eager at that. A big open beach and no brainbreak? Oh boy!]

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[And now, his nose will crinkle just slightly.] A beach.

[video]

[freshbreeze.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh, it sounds pretty interesting.

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

Mm. [Finally, his face is settling into a lined expression.] That girl is still with you, isn't she. [From their last encounter, he can assume yes, but that was also a fair amount of time ago. Not that he thinks his destruction deterred anything. Curious? At least vaguely.]

[And he does his best to keep a stiff upper lip in turn, because he still doesn't appreciate the tantrum Vanitas threw and how much it terrified Rise]

Her name's Rise.

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

I don't care what her name is. [Curling his upper lip, Vanitas simply stared at the gear steadily before snapping the feed off.]

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.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

What were you doing?

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

None of your business.

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

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

[Video]

[theplayended.livejournal.com]

What's the point?

[Video]

[savedinapinch.livejournal.com]

Is it fun? Collecting them?

[easilytrusts]

[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?

[video]

[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]

[thebelsareinert]

Friendly as usual.

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

I'm not a friendly person.

[video]

[subvertio.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[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.

[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.]

[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.]
