vatheon | .003: Stranded in the Offering

Who: Kazutaka Muraki and anyone who wants a light show
Where: In the forest
When: Late night of the 18th
Style: Action
Status: Open

[ There's a particular part of the forest the locals stay away from. It's probably come to your attention too, if you're perceptive enough. As soon as you approach, you'll feel a particular hint of darkness in the air. The deeper you get in, the weaker and more fearful you'll feel until it gets unbearable and you'll have to turn back. This would be most likely from a particular necromancer's influence. This area is Muraki's, riddled with the traces of dark magic just so he can have a spot in the forest to feed and practice his spells in private.

He's there tonight and anyone passing through the forest may feel a rather heightened sense of that darkness and fear. A purple light breaks through the trees mostly coming by the four amethysts set up around a glowing magic circle. Right in the middle is Muraki... or rather Muraki in Yukio's body. He breathes deeply, seemingly savoring the energy that's sparking off himself and the seal. ]

Fascinating... simply fascinating... The boy has such potential...

[ And the barest laugh escapes his lips as he closes his eyes. The light dies down but his fingers are still sparking that he has to shake them once to clear them. ]

[Sorry, was this supposed to scare him off, Doctor? Vanitas was pretty bad at picking up hints and he normally didn’t care. Add on to the fact it wasn’t his body? Bring it.

He’ll step deeper in the forest driven by curiosity and a hint of something familiar deep inside the dark and creepy. Vanitas was reminded a bit of Rin, but something much more sinister present. This could definitely be all flavors of fun for the temporary Nobody inhabitant.

Can demons feel Nobodies? Did Muraki set something up to receive a warning when someone invaded? Guess he’ll find out soon enough as he crept deeper inside of Muraki’s little test area]

[ This thrum of energy is far more different than any he's handled before. It sharpens his senses. Each spell is easier to access than normal and he feels at least several levels stronger.

Of course, that makes him far more sensitive. He can almost sense Vanitas the moment he steps into his territory. The light dies down to a bare shimmer, just outlining the seal on the ground. The stones pulse with a light all their own. But his tone isn't threatening. If anything, it's calm as ever. He doesn't even bother turning to face the boy. ]

I know you're there. Now, how may I help you...?

Not like I was playing hide n’ seek. [He’ll plant himself against a tree, making himself quite at home to the area. He held himself as if he owned the joint and didn’t even care what could happen to the body he was…using for this curse. Not that he had much to worry if damage would occur if he did care since he was used to people announcing their intent to keep him away at the get go.]

You practically called me here with your display. [He was surprised there weren’t meddling kiddies or heroes hopping over to make sure this wasn’t a threat.] I think I've seen your face on the network before. [And possibly at Rin's place with him still keeping some observation up.]

No, I suppose not.

[ A small frown though. Looks like Sora but it feels rather different. Slightly adjusting his glasses though as he looks his companion over. ]

I certainly would doubt that. After all, this truly isn't my face. I'm a victim of the coral's weekly offering.

I didn't quite mean to call anyone's attention. However, this body's abilities were more than I'm used to having. He's such a raw thing... Normally, I'd be a little more subtle than this.

[ And a pause. ]

Do I know you...?

[Hmmm. So Rin’s brother was going through the same thing.]

Sounds like we’re both in a similar situation then.

[Summoning both Oath Keeper and Oblivion, while remaining comfortable against the tree. He was just sharing.] I usually only have one. He’s a bit slower than I’m used to though.

[How to answer the last bit. It could be a similar situation as what happened with Roxas. They know him from his other half babbling away. It also seems like he might have been to this place prior.] You might know of me.

[Certainly has been enough announcements regarding him.] I’ll tell you if you do a favor for me in return. Draw a few extra moles with permanent marker on that face or some where on his body.

Are we...?

[ Hm. A keyblade. The last time he saw those things was during that particular Halloween day when he tangled with Riku and Sora in this very spot. Sweet, sweet memories.

But the request draws a chuckle from the doctor. ]

Perhaps I know of you. I know of Sora, of keyblades and the darkness. I've spoken to Mickey. I know of Riku and ages ago, I had a brief encounter with a boy named Vanitas... but you. I can't say I know you exactly.

[ Because you look like Sora but so very much not like Sora... man, why do you heartkids all have to look the same? ]

I'm afraid I can't do that. However, they seem to multiply on their own without my help. I take it you know either Yukio or the brothers?

[Keyblades soon vanished as he aimed his thumb at himself.] This is Roxas. He’s a Nobody. Ever heard of them?

[And then he was given his confirmation. He wasn’t sure how to feel about their previous brief encounter. It was just like Ventus being there again after vanishing previously. This place had an interesting sense of humor.]

Guess I’ll have to make do with that then. [Who didn’t know about Yukio after all of that ruckus on the network.] Do you know how many brothers are there? [And he’ll allow a beat to pass before continuing.] You could say I know Rin pretty well.

[ A Nobody. What he knows of these keyblade kids and their world is limited but he has to admit, what he experienced was refreshingly interesting. ]

I meant to refer to them both as a collective. As far as I know there are only two. Twins.

[ The other two half brothers? Well... ]

As for your question on Nobodies... I do remember Demyx mentioning his being one of them and their difference from the normal human.

[ Small frown though. ]

Who are you then, if that body isn't yours?

[They didn’t look like twins. Maybe there was a similarity with eyes and hair. That was all he was able to see though.]

Which is the older twin? [You can’t tell from appearances. ~~Ventus was the best example. So was Sora.~~]

There’s that name again. [Remarking to himself more.] Seems like I might have to play Demyx a visit.

Can’t say I recall having a brief encounter with you previously, but this place enjoys games like that. I’m Vanitas.

Rin is, if my memory serves me right.

[ You really can't tell considering Yukio acts like the doctor does and he's in his thirties. He could really need a smoke right now, truth be told but until the end of the week he knows he'll probably have to make do with gum.

The introduction, however, provokes the smallest smirk though. ]

I'd heard from Mickey you had returned to the city. However, I certainly can't fault you for not remembering. It does happen, I assure you. We had met nearly a year or so ago.

Your darkness made quite the impression on me. I feel we could be cut from the same cloth, you and I.
