[When the Gear flips on today, it isn't showing Vanitas, but it is showing a nice fall scene of Ecruteak's burnt tower. Mostly burnt, anyway.]

It has been a long time since I've been here again.

[Heather, you're getting a text at obscure hour of the night.]

Check your window.

_{[You are so lucky she's the only one awake right now, Vanitas. No one in Johto could handle three seasoned Silent Hill survivors all coming at them with blunt objects after being spooked into a monster-mode killing frenzy.]

[She's in bed reading when her screen lights up.]

[... Check... the window? .... Wat.]

[SHE CHECKS THE WINDOW.]}

[Shh, he doesn't know how lucky he is and most likely? Never will.

HI HEATHER, DO YOU MIND THE BIG GLOWING YELLOW EYES JUST CREEPING OUT OF THE DARKNESS?]

_{[FUCK.]

[Does she scream? No, actually. It's not quite enough of a surprise for that to happen-- maybe if he hadn't texted her TELLING her to look. But she does jump slightly and look shocked-- ... and then her eyes narrow.]

[Oh, son.]

[Coming at the window. Swiftly.]}

[Well, standing outside for the last twenty mins when she hasn't looked got boring.

While he had been expecting more of a scream, the slight jump and surprised look were enough to make him grin. No, he's not really going anywhere when she approaches the window, just crossing his arms and looking amused.]

_{[... She just picked up what seems to be a wooden plank.]

[Vanitas you should probably get the fuck away from that window before she gets there.]}

[Hm.

He'll take a few steps back from the window here, just in case.]

_{[Okay she's there.]

[And THROWING the window open as vigorously as possible without actually making it BANG against the side of the building. She doesn't wanna wake her roomies up, after all.]}

If you don't have a good reason for showing up here in the middle of the night, I'm gonna do such creative things to you with this plank that your mind will shatter into a million pieces.

[That was such a challenge, Heather.]

I'd like to see you try. Besides, remember that conversation where you challenged me to scare some big guy? You seem like the fairly unflappable type, so I decided to see about scaring you instead.

_{[She pauses, staring at him for a second and considering.]

[... And then.]}

That's not a good enough reason.

_{[...SHIT LOOK OUT VAN SHE'S COMIN FOR YA]}

[As funny as it was to watch her clamor out of the window, he knows well enough that the plank of wood is a weapon. Curling his mouth into a higher smile as he moved away out of reach, he let his hands fist.]

_{[She's climbing out of the window and reaching for a tree branch with her bare hand, one leg over the sill. She doesn't want to fall.]}

If you know what's good for you, you'll get your sorry butt out of here before I make it much further.

I haven't seen this expression on someone in a long while. I think I want to see just what you can do. [He could totally just shove her back into the window and laugh about it.]

_{[And she could yank him right out of the tree on her way back in. You don't mess with a Mason. Especially not one who's killed gods.]}

Your funeral.

_{[And then, without any further warning, she leaps off the sill and into the tree, grabbing for a springy branch-- it bends back towards her under her weight.]}

It's pretty hard to kill me. [His smile cranked up to the verge of crazy as he simply waited. Sure, Vanitas has fought a girl before, but Aqua is a little more lean and uses magic more than actually fistfighting; a good fistfight is honestly sounding fun right now.]

I'm pretty good at killing.

_{[... Not that she's actually, you know, planning on there being any killing tonight. But severe beating? SURE. She lets the branch go. It whips towards Vanitas with surprising force.]}
