☽ 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~

Well yeah, dying is never ideal. From what I've heard it's a rather painful process.

Is that so? Doesn't that seem like it levels out the playing field if someone doesn't have those sort of abilities? It seems you can be quite the fighter yourself, and are very well-versed about the flow of chroma~

[inabluemoon]

I guess you could say that, but taking into consideration that moonblessings seem to bestow at least basic supernatural talents one could consider that alone to make things more "even". Of course even without any enhanced abilities it isn't impossible to win against someone who does have them, you just have to be smart about it.

[Says the guy who practically throws himself at vampires much stronger than him on a regular basis back home.]

Non, I wouldn't really call myself a fighter. I'm just a doctor.

[lovejunkie]

It seems very basic, the magical ability doesn't seem something that's very impressive though. Probably just strong enough for a shock when it comes to an Iris's abilities, though the high pain tolerance and regeneration seem to be an okay trade off~

But Beni wouldn't know much about having the capability to work with these things, they're only useful in a tight situation at best.

Just a doctor... Even doctors could be fighters too, but there's nothing wrong with being just one or the other.

[inabluemoon]

Well if you make a point of not getting too involved with all the little excursions the locals are fond of then you shouldn't have trouble avoiding tight situations.

Hmm~ I guess.

[lovejunkie]

Oh no, Beni would never... a lot of them seem very dangerous and scary, it's best to stay behind and be careful~

Is there something the matter? Did Beni say something wrong?

[inabluemoon]

They are. I went along with some of it at first to try and get information, but I'm not interested in being cannon fodder.

Non, not at all.

[lovejunkie]

That's understandable, they displace us from our homes and then request that we help them with something seemingly easy at first and then ask for more. It's kind of not fair~

But Beni is glad that's not the case, sometimes I say things that people don't want to hear by accident.

[inabluemoon]

It's a manipulation tactic, whether they admit it or not. But I don't believe that they're so naive as to not know what they're doing.

[He chuckles.]

Sometimes people need to hear things they don't like.

[lovejunkie]

Hmmm... It certainly seems that way, it's pretty surprising that there isn't as much of a fight against this. I mean, it seems there are plenty of strong and capable people brought here, surely they'd have some way to go against the orders~

You have a good way of looking at it, onii-chan~ Some others aren't as forgiving and could get violent in the blink of an eye.
