@jwatson; video; Day 407

[jumpthegun]

I think this belongs to you.

[The video is focused on the Unversed, which is currently gnawing on a stale loaf of bread that John's given to it to keep it semi-occupied and still.]

@betterhalf; text

[darkincrement]

[ What he feels when he sees what's on his tablet is a mix of relief and annoyance for a number of reasons. ]

The girl is really gone then.

[ The words are sent before he can think twice. There's a second message sent then. ]

Let @godsend know.

[ Not Gabriel. Just his network handle. ]

[John's not looking to pry, but there's something about this message coupled with Vanitas' generally more sour mood of late that prompts him. He switches to text.]

Are you all right?

[darkincrement]

[ That's certainly a question. ]

When am I ever?

[jumpthegun]

Are you less 'not all right' than you usually are?

[darkincrement]

[ It takes him longer to respond. ]

Less.

[jumpthegun]

It's what Mr. Miller told us?

[darkincrement]

[ It would be foolish to come out with all of it.
But he also knows that there's little point in worrying about what can be used against him here. ]
That's part of it.

[jumpthegun]

Do you want to talk about the rest of it?

[It's like pulling teeth with this lad.]

[darkincrement]

[ Just the way he likes it. ]

Ask @godsend.

[jumpthegun]

Vanitas, I'd rather talk to you about your own feelings.

[darkincrement]

[ Let's use the truth to get Watson to hang up on him. ]

You mean the creature you found?

[jumpthegun]

Your pet is your feelings?

[Color him both confused and disbelieving.]

[darkincrement]

It's not a pet.
It's a piece of my anger.

[ It even has an angry face, Watson. ]/

[jumpthegun]

[There are cats with angry faces. He's seen them on the internet.]

Your anger's sort of creepy cute.

[darkincrement]

[ That's weird. ]

It looks disgusting to me.

[ He has regrets already about this topic ]

[jumpthegun]

I'm sure I'd say the same about my own anger. It's just an emotion, though. Those aren't good or bad. Anger can be important sometimes. Let's you protect yourself or other people when you use it right.
