☽ II: video

[inabluemoon]

[Vanitas is seated with his chin propped up in one hand when the video comes on. He looks significantly calmer (and less Sanguis-y) than the last time he made a post like this.]

Bonjour. I've done this once before, but I feel as though I wouldn't be doing my due diligence if I just relied on snooping and idle gossip.

[He straightens up, a hand going to his chest with an undeniably cocky grin.]

So! My name is Vanitas and I am a doctor to vampires, although I myself am just an average human. In an attempt to better understand the nature of the world we currently find ourselves in and those that all of you are from I have a request! I'd like to hear all of your "legends" about vampires. It's become clear that despite the wide variety of worlds represented here vampires are a reality in very few, so I'm curious about where your preconceived notions of them stem from.

Of course if you yourself happen to be a vampire or personally acquainted with any I'm even more interested in you. Don't hesitate to come forward and chat with me, I'll even be accommodating if you want to do so anonymously.

[He waves a gloved hand that ends in sharp nails.] Au revoir~

It's a rather sad blemish on an otherwise beautiful race.

[ For all that they can suck, they're not all bad, either. ]

[inabluemoon]

"Beautiful"? [He laughs.]

I can't say I've ever heard humanity described like that.

[levampere]

The longer one observes them, the easier it gets to view their many achievements with an objective eye.

[ He's not so jaded that he thinks humans are a waste. Though he knows some who disagree. ]

They create great works of art, music, theater... for all their cruelty, they can also create great joy.

[inabluemoon]

[On the other hand Vanitas is very jaded.]

Do you really think that makes up for everything? You can weigh things like that against genocide and pride and all of their attempts to play God?

[levampere]

One thing does not make up for another. A fire is no less beautiful because of its ability to burn.

[ He just thinks humans are neat. ]

[inabluemoon]

Hm. I guess our opinions on that matter will simply have to differ.

[As a human (mostly) he has to saw "ew".]

[levampere]

Indeed. Many of my peers would agree with you. I'm something of an outlier on this stance.

[ Which makes him a great otome character, in other words. ]

Nonetheless, it's been lovely to make your acquaintance.

[inabluemoon]

Yours as well.

And even if you don't need a doctor I'm also good for other things, so if you need assistance don't hesitate to let me know. [Is he purposefully making that sound suggestive? Who knows.]

[levampere]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

[ Whether he is or isn't, St. Germain's cool with that. ]
