007; video [warning: mention of drugs]

[showmeanguish]

[After his big fight on Day 111, Vanitas was taking the next day off to rest and recover his strength. At some point in the afternoon, he'd decided to lay down and catch a quick nap to help with the process.

That had been at around 4 o'clock. He'd never taken a nap for more than two hours at a time, so it seemed reasonable that he'd wake up well before dinner time.

Wrong. What he awoke to was total darkness instead of the setting sun, and a weird smell in the air. BECAUSE ONE OF HIS UPSTAIRS NEIGHBORS IS A TOTAL JACKASS.]

[...So here we've got it. Vanitas staring at his palm on the screen, looking more than a little perplexed.]

Can someone tell me who's hand this is?

[Here is a video of Sora's hand. That's it. That's the video. Just his hand.]

[showmeanguish]

.....

[Whoa.]

[video] 2/2

[showmeanguish]

[Oh, that's right.]

You're getting a lot of lines, y'know.

[video]

[trinitylimit]

Did you hit your head?

[video]

[showmeanguish]

[Not that he knows.]

I just woke up.

[modestchivalry]

[...........]

Excuse me?

VIDEO

[showmeanguish]

My hand, it's...

[Except no, his hand's not so interesting. It's your hair.]

Who're you?

VIDEO

[modestchivalry]

Ah, my name is Castor. [he bows his head a little]

Are you alright?

video

[showmeanguish]

Never heard of you. And why, do I look like I'm not?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Vanitas? Are you okay?

[Audio]

[showmeanguish]

Euri. [Someone he recognizes! And it actually gets an almost-smile.]

I feel great... why does everyone keep asking?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[That's... odd. Almost worrying.]

Because you're asking something really strange. Are you sure you're fine?

[video]

[showmeanguish]

Never better. Just that... stuff looks so different now, and I don't know why.

[darkbreak]

[His... hand? Did Vanitas finally get what was coming to him and get majorly clocked on the head?]

What happened to you?

video;

[showmeanguish]

[What happened to him? He inhaled way too much, that's what happened to him. Except he doesn't know that.

But Riku's question's getting deflected by him squinting at the bracelet.]

You're Sora's friend, aren't you.

video;

[darkbreak]

[...yeah something is VERY off.]

What about it?

video;

[showmeanguish]

Nothing.

[And then he has a great idea.] I'm gonna go downstairs and get something to eat. I'm starving.

voice;

[catorce]

[...dude who are you and why do you look like Sora.]

It's... your hand?

voice;

[showmeanguish]

[Just your cousin. Err, great-uncle? Something like that.]

You sure? It looks different than I remember.

voice;

[catorce]

[He's clearly the great-uncle that never gets invited to parties and nobody talks about...]

...Well, uh. Did you scrape it?

video;

[showmeanguish]

[He's the Maleficent of the family. :(]

I'd know if it was just a scrape. Aren't you listening? It's just different.

( video )

[windwalker]

Shouldn't that be your hand? [ What the hell? Just going to squint at the screen. ]

Unless you somehow attached a new one on...

( video )

[showmeanguish]

I didn't... I've been laying here for a while.

[Then he turns it over to the back side, and cue mesmerization again in 3, 2..]

( video )

[windwalker]

... Couch potato. [ Pfft. But then she raises her eyebrows, uhhh. ]

Hey, are you okay?

( video )

[showmeanguish]

You're all broken records. I feel fine.

[But the way his eyes are red and a little glassy are a clear indication that he's... well, definitely altered.]
