[It's late in the evening when the feed has flipped on for the first time in a long time... but there's no one in sight, except Sanaa the Swablu. Lit by the glow of a campfire, she chirps happily at the screen before fluffing her wings and fluttering out of sight. There's some mild dragging sounds between the bird and what sounds like a Minun, as the two then proceed to set up the Gear.

Just what are they filming, silly Pokemon?

There's a couple of young kids sitting out in the sand, building onto a rather elaborate looking castle, and the feed just continues. Well into five minutes of just recording the kids working, something drops very suddenly right smack dab into their sand building, and gives a prompt and sharp sounding RAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!]

WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH MOMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

[Both children run off, though only one was absolutely wailing while the other was teeheeing, the person standing in the middle of what used to be the sand castle starts chuckling. Turning where the light finally catches, it's Vanitas, and he is grinning from ear to ear, looking somewhat giddy even.]

Now that, Runt, is how you properly startle someone. [The Minun gives a sort of agreement noise, and Vanitas? Doesn't even seem to care that the PokeGear is on. Apparently he's been having a contest with his mischevious electric rodent on scaring residents, and guess who just pulled into the lead with this ridiculous number?

Yeah, he's moving to pick up the Gear and shut it off now though, cause he so doesn't want to be around when the kids come back with the nagging mother. It would involve dodging police and Vanitas is actually enjoying himself for a change.]

... How interesting. You will not simply just say that much without speaking more about it, right...?

Maybe. [He looks nothing short of smug about it though.] There's quite a few in this world who have stories. You could always ask around instead.

Will you refuse my request?

It's not a refusal. [Shruuuuuuuug.] But hearing it from victims is better, is it not?

It is entertaining. However, it is almost just as entertaining to speak to someone you have something in common with.

[Honestly, that lifts his brows in a mild bit of surprise. Huh, guess they do have something in common.]

Where I'm from, I don't believe there's anyone other than me who would be amused by this. [Disney, curse youu]

[ obviously he just needs to be invited where the umi trolls live ok ] ... How boring. There is no one who would be fond of pranks? What a dull life.

[Totes bro, let's go trolling in the land of sea-cats ololol]

It would be mean, in their opinion. Those worlds are too nice and full of goody goodies that it gets so boring after a while.

... [ cacklecackle ] They would get along well with that Granny of a Teacher of mine. It would do little harm if they were to lighten up a little, hm...?

Too many old people are the teachers; they're too stuck up in their ways. [Eraqus is in that list. Actually, so is Baldnort, he's so stuck in his LIGHT AND DARK MUST BE EQUAL SO PS WE'RE THE DARK HALF]

Ohoh. You would share a relationship like that with someone? One of teacher and student.

He would prefer the title "Master", but you would be right.

Come. Tell me more about this man.

He's old, bald, and likes to balance everything but his diet. [In all seriousness -- no just kidding. Vanitas is amusing himself if anything.]

Master is... an enigma on purpose. He stretches his words to the point where you begin to tune it out as a drawl, and he pretends to behave his age if only to catch you offguard entirely. It's his thing, it always seemed to me.

... What a strange sounding man. Indeed, he sounds unique from my own Teacher.

[He also beat me to the point of near-death when I was first "born" just so he could snap me out of it faster.]

What was yours like? Spitting rainbows and promoting how good one could be to another?

... Well, something like that. Teacher always would say how magic should be used for the good of others. However... she was also a witch. As dull as her lectures could be, she could also be deceitful at times, herself.

So she would use it for not good things herself on occasion.

Correct. Witches are, by nature, devious creatures.

It sounds that way. [Amused Vanitas is looking mighty amused.]
