[The feed starts out with a bit of static, but it wears off soon enough with Vanitas talking.]

Out of Mt. Mortar, starting now.

[Off to the side, his tone goes sour.] Now, you're learning how to freaking swim, and we're taking the other route next time. You got that?

I don't see what the bulge fondling deal was. We made it out just fine!

You're learning how to swim. Deal with it.

So, essentially, what we have here is you not wanting to confront your fears so you're more or less attempting to force me to do what doesn't come fucking naturally to anyone indigo on down?

Don't know what you're talking about, and I'm not looking for a lesson this time. While you're here, you're human, and humans can freaking swim.

You don't know what I'm talking about... How about I shove you the merry fuck back in there and sit my Lapras in front of the goddamn exit? What then?

[There's dead silence for a moment, before the sound of a fist hitting a face. Yeahh. The network gets a few audio cues that tell of a fistfight going down, before the gear is dropped and it cuts out.]

Look it up in the dictionary. Your picture will be right by the definition.

I've read a dictionary before, so I think I would've remembered that one.

[Just, you know, censored by Daddyqus accordingly]

And what's the biggest word you know, Shiny?

Shiny isn't the biggest word I know...

But there's one from Hope's world called trapezohedron.

Oh my god. You really are missing some serious comprehension skills in your think pan. Did Vanitas take most of them?

No, I'm just not used to the way you talk yet.

I speak normally, nookbreath.

I'm not saying you don't, I just don't have the same vocabulary.

Hopefully you pick up a thing or three.

I'll do my best to understand.

[Marinated in all the earnest intentions in the worlds]

Now that I believe.

Gosh, I'd hope so. Master taught me honesty's the best policy after all.

So what? You never lie?

Never purposefully, no. I'm...pretty lousy at fibbing even if I'd need to.

Gee, isn't that one a surprise.

...You're making me wonder how much Vanitas talks about me.

[Comments like that and all]

Or you're that predictable.

Maybe, but I can still surprise people.

Probably only because they can't believe how much dumber you can feasibly get.

Personally I think underestimating others is worse.

No shit? Note the tone of surprise in my voice.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to take the things you're saying.

[What in the worlds is sarcasm?]

You pick up on sarcasm like Eridan's hair takes to water.

Maybe, but I figure people out over time. Just takes a while to really know somebody.

You can never completely know some one.
