Broadining Your Horizons

Characters: Vanitas and YOU
Content: After laying low for awhile, Vanitas explores the sattelite.
Location: All around the satellite
Time of Day: Afternoon.
Warnings: Vanitas, mild language.

Vanitas's first stop on his "tour" of the satellite is the cafeteria. He hadn't been eating much and was getting hungry. His lunch was simple: a sandwitch with a glass of orange juice.

After eating lunch, Vanitas decided to try out the rec room. If one enters the room they may find Vanitas sound asleep in the Jacuzzi. Awake him at your own risk.

"Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap." Vanitas muttered to himself as he looked through book after book. He had come to the media deck for some well earned peace and quiet. He normally wouldn't be reading a book, but in a place like this it would have to do. Unfortunately, there wasn't a good book anywhere in this place.

When he couldn't find the peace and quiet he wanted in the media deck, he decided to go to the nature deck and relax. Unfortunately, he had to deal with the animals there. One being a panda that won't stop following him.

After perusing the media deck, Vanitas finds himself on the weapons deck, looking at the various gadgets located here. Someone better make sure he doesn't hurt himself... or anyone else for that matter.

{OOC: Pick a scenario and thread it out.]

When Roxas felt like training, he either went to the rec deck or the weapons deck. Typically, it depended on whether or not he felt like trying out a different weapon type. He went to the rec deck if he was just sticking to the swords. Today, he felt like experimenting, but he hadn't decided yet what he wanted to try out.

Such was his luck that he'd elected to head down there when Vanitas was down there. He would have have loved to just walk away, but if he did that, the likelihood that someone else would show up (potentially someone more likely to pick a fight) was too high. So he stayed, trying to be nonchalant as he went about his initial plan and not make it look like he was trying to keep an eye on a possible trouble maker.

Roxas' luck was bound to get worse as Vanitas heard him walk in. "Hey there. Fancy meeting you here."

This was... either very good or very bad. It was probably for the better that Ven hadn't wandered down here or there would have been some fighting. Not that there wasn't a risk of it anyway, but Roxas wasn't going to start it. They were stuck on this bucket until Joel could get to them and no one could die while they were here. They would have to try to get along with each other, somehow.

"Who did you expect?"

The weapons deck was probably not the best place to be when being a little curt with someone, though...

"No one really." Vanitas replied as he continued looking around the deck.

"That would be a logical explanation if there was no one else on this bucket." While he didn't look up from checking out the weapons, Roxas wasn't exactly focused on them. It was hard to give too much attention to a task when you knew someone else in the room with you wasn't exactly trustworthy...

"What? Don't trust me?" he said.

Well, so much for the watching going unnoticed.

"Would you trust you if you were in my shoes?" Roxas wasn't much liking his odds regarding the possibility of a fight here.

That gets a derisve chuckle. "Touche."

Riku walked into the Rec Deck that morning(ish) wearing some better-fit pants and a tank; it was his usual workout attire. Since his time mirrored he'd taken a lot more comfort in his daily exercise, usually pushing himself a little harder and enjoying the strength he lacked. He looked around considering what he felt like doing first.

And guess who was in the Jacuzzi?

He sighed a little and shrugged. Fact was Vanitas was out of the way and possibly oblivious to what was around him. Nothing changed.

Riku made his way over to the punching bag in the corner, picking up a get of fingerless punching gloves and removing his shoes. He set up a couple thin mats around it to soften the hard floor. While he typically didn't throw punches, greatly preferring a blade, he'd been known in the past to supplement his fighting repertoire with kicks.

He gave the punching bag a hard push and waited for it to come swinging back. It hit him hard enough to simulate a light bow, and let his body move with the impact. Riku landed on his back, instantly rolling onto his shoulders and curling his body. With a single deft motion he sprang forward, feet first, and slammed his heels into the punching bag while he landed on his feet. That move always took Sora by surprise back at home before they'd left, and it often did nowadays.

That wasn't bad, but he could do better. And he might as well work on his punches too.

Unfortunately for Riku, the sound of Riku hitting the bag woke Vanitas from his nap. He turned around to see Riku exercising and called out to him. "Getting exercise huh?"

At the sound of Vanitas's voice, Riku stopped the movement of the punching bag and turned his head. He wiped his brow and gave the boy an odd look. "Yeah..." What did it look like he was doing? Maybe better still, what did he want?

Nothing really, he was bored. "So, what do you think about this place?"

"...The SoL?" Vanitas sure was chatty. Riku wasn't letting his guard down, though. He readjusted the glove and rested a hand on the punching bag, pushing it a little, idly. "I've never been one to be cooped up anywhere. ...But I've been trying to think of it like a vacation."

"How so?"

Riku raised an eyebrow before wiping his forehead again. Was it really that hard to figure out? "Well, I'm not fighting to keep anyone safe. I'm not fighting to stay alive. The most dangerous things around here tend to be bad movies. I'd kind of call that a break."

"So, you have a Keyblade?"

"Yeah. And I hear you do, too."

"From Ventus and Aqua no doubt." Vanitas concluded. "What else do you know about me?"

Riku narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean from Ventus and Aqua?"

"I know you're bad news."

"Well they're here on the ship, and they probably told you about me." Vanitas responded nonchalantly. "Really, and I haven't even done anything."

"And you were here before, like we said, though you don't remember your time here." Riku crossed his arms. "You haven't this time."

"Really? What could I possibly do without my powers?"

"And give you ideas? No thanks."

"Hello, rhetorical question?" Vanitas said as he rolled his eyes. "If I wanted to cause trouble, I would've done something already don't ya think?"

"I think you do what you want when you feel like it." What, was he trying to gain his trust?

Hardly. Vanitas didn't have a single fuck to give about what the rest of the KH gang thought of him. "Exactly." came the reply.

"Which means you could cause trouble at any time. So whether you'd've done something already doesn't matter, does it?" Way to support your case.

"Eh, no denying I wouldn't. But I don't feel like it."

"Great. Still not giving you ideas."

"Whatever."

Riku slowly goes back to focusing on the punching bag, but angles himself so he can keep Vanitas in his periphery.

And Vanitas goes back to lounging in the jacuzzi.
