[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.]

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.

I can't read somebody's mind, but I can know their heart.

I didn't realize you earned the godhood of "Seer of Heart," pipsqueak.

Hey, I'm taller than Vanitas.

[And he'll have you know it, buster]

Keyblade Masters are trained to see the light in people, and the darkness, but I think anybody can grow to understand the hearts of people they spend enough time around.

What the fuck is a Keyblade Master.

A person who protects the worlds and wields a keyblade.

You can't use the one of the words you're trying to define in the goddamn definition!

A swordmaster is somebody trained to wield a sword and has gotten that much skill, right?

Obviously, but that doesn't explain what the fuck a keyblade is.

What you asked me was what a Keyblade Master was, but Vanitas has a wooden keyblade if you want to see one. The real thing is a bit different, but it's the best I could do in this world.

I didn't think I'd have to get down to specifics. Figured you were the type to prattle on and on.

Wouldn't it just bother you if I talked a whole bunch?

Not when I'm expecting it and/or asking a question.
