[Gazing down at the book in his hand, he frowns. He's not anxious to work for someone else again, after being freed from Xehanort's influence, but he knows he has to get stronger.]

My name is Vanitas. I wield a Keyblade and I am the student of the greatest Keyblade Master there ever was; Master Xehanort. I'm looking to join the crew with the strongest fighters.

[Ends there, because, obviously, nothing else needs to be said. Everyone knows the more badass you are, the less you say.]

[Well, that definitely caught her attention. "Keyblade". Dear arceus, not another one.]

No idea who Xehanort is, but another keyblade user huh? That's interesting.

[vanitas_veci]

So, you've met Ventus already have you?

[anelegantmyth]

Not quite sure who that is either. The person I'm referring to is one of the boys in my crew. Roxas. He fights with two keyblades, and doesn't do much else.

Calls himself a nobody, if you know anything about that.

[vanitas_veci]

Two?

[Well, that's new to Vanitas.]

No, I don't know him, and I don't know what he means when he says he's a Nobody.

[He has an idea, but he's not one hundred percent sure.]

[song_princess]

Keyblade? What's a keyblade?

[vanitas_veci]

The Keyblade is the greatest weapon in the universe.

[song_princess]

May I ask why you say that? What makes it greater than all others?

[Voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

Man, you get right to the point, huh? Can't say I ever heard of a weapon like that, though.

What's it like? A cudgel or something?

[Voice]

[vanitas_veci]

There's no point in beating around the bush is there?

[Xehanort was always the one for machinations. Vanitas is a blunt instrument in comparison]

Something like that. More like a club.

Re: [Voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

I hope you use it as a last resort, at least.

[crankyshark]

[finally opening a journal cuz he hardly ever reads/listens to it. Oh hey, a new person]

I don't really know which crew has the strongest fighters overall, but we've got some major contenders. Our Captain practically can't die and two of our crew members have powerful magic... The three of us that don't have special powers are all good sword fighter at least. What's a keyblade, is that like a sword?

[vanitas_veci]

Depends on the keyblade. Mine's more like a club.

What kind of magic?

[crankyshark]

Hm...well, one of them uses what she calls 'rune magic' that comes out of tattoos she has on her body. The other one, im not sure. He uses a wand and a...flying rabbit follows him around. I've seen him power up cannonballs to shoot metal beasts out of the sky with it.

[Oh, come on.

Ven spends about half a minute trying to decide whether he really wants to deal with this nut again so soon, but his discipline wins out.]

You've got to be kidding me.

[He sounds more exasperated than angry, though. And he might just be rubbing his forehead as he says it, not that that's visible.]

voice

[vanitas_veci]

[Is tempted to just shut the journal on him. He chooses not to, he might learn which crew Ventus joined, if he has]

No.

[makingfriends]

[AUGH]

You can't just -- advertise the Keyblade like that!

[hollywood_bro]

So you've probably got like, a dozen motherfuckers telling you why you should join their crew already. Here's why you should join mine instead: A. We're awesome. B. We kick ass. C. We don't take shit from nobody. And if that ain't a reason to join I don't know what is.

[vanitas_veci]

What can your crew do power wise?

[hollywood_bro]

Like the shark dude said, our Captain can't die. I'm basically awesome as shit with a sword and some of the other guys are pretty good too. Then we have people who do magic. I don't really get it, but it comes in pretty handy sometimes.

[strongworld]

[Well now, another Keyblade? That Roxas kid has done a great job of filling him in on just what they can do.]

Hm. There's some elegance in brevity like that.

Voice;

[vanitas_veci]

I'm not worried about elegance. I'm concerned with strength. Why beat around the bush?

[strongworld]

Just looking for the best. I like that.

Vanitas, right? Tell me-- is that what you want in this world?

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Xanhort?

[To clarify, the mispronunciation is purposeful. He wants to test Vanitas' loyalty, or if not that, his ego and reaction.]

[Also he's thinking of Xemnas.]

[Voice]

[vanitas_veci]

[Can't decide if he's annoyed or amused at the mispronunciation. He makes a non-committal sound]

Xehanort.

[Voice]

[fierybluebird]

Right.

Any relation to Xemnas?
