These wannabe unversed are worthless.

I seriously have to train them to make them stronger?

Pathetic.

[Hello, fellow Rockets! A newcomer is in your midst and...frankly he's just unimpressed with everything. And bored.]

Where can I find better ones?

[For those lucky enough to be wandering the hallways, Vanitas won't be hard to miss. Rather than change into his Team Rocket issued uniform like he'd been told, the young man is still wearing his outfit from home--helmet and all. He's got two tag-alongs in his exploration, one being his Phantump and the other his Woobat.

The first is drifting along quietly and obediently, pausing whenever Vanitas does to avoid running into it's master. The Woobat, however, is darting all over the place having the time of it's life now that he's out of his Pokeball!

Which of course just makes Vanitas hate it even more.]

You're pathetic. [The Woobat just squeaked in delight and Vanitas rolled his eyes behind his mask before veering down another hallway to see who or what he could find.]

Mm-hm! You haven't told me your name yet, after all. It'd be rude to just call you "hey, you".

[Yep, definitely only doing it to be polite. Just look at her smile! No way there are any ulterior motives here.]

Mm, that's true. But that also means we're colleagues, and it's better to get along with someone when you have to work together. A mutual benefit— You can understand that much, can't you?

[bleedingunversed]

[Vanitas is quiet, head still turned towards her while his Phantump and Woobat hover about nearby (said ghost holding the bat tightly to keep it from getting away), clearly mulling her words over.

After a moment he reaches up to remove his helmet, a lazy smirk on his face as he tucks his headpiece under his arm.]

I guess I can. It would be unfortunate to be stuck here without some people I can count on, wouldn't it?

[Count on. Hah.]

[beastofasister]

Mm-hm, that's the same thing that I thought. [Though, more accurately, the thought had been that she needed tools. She doesn't doubt that he means something similar.] My name is Manaka Sajyou. And Mr. Black Knight's is—?

[bleedingunversed]

[Oh, that's definitely what he meant.]

Vanitas.

[Eyebrow lifting, Vanitas smirked a bit wider.]

Any other bits of wisdom I should hear?

[beastofasister]

That depends. Do you actually intend to listen to them, this time? [But she punctuates that question with a laugh, apparently not too fussed. Just as she had said, she only has so much concern for whether or not he takes her words to heart.] Ah, but if you really want to know... I suppose the most important thing for you to hear is that this world operates on a logic of its own. That can work to both your advantage and your detriment, depending on the circumstances, but either way, it'll be useless if you try to force it to conform to the rules you know.

[bleedingunversed]

This isn't the first time I've been to a different world.

[Albeit, he's never played by the rules of any world but it's the thought that counts.]

I'll be fine. [Adapting to strange situations is what Xehanort trained him to do, after all.]

[beastofasister]

Ah! So you're a veteran, hm—?

[Well, she'd take him at his word there, too. Still, that left her with another question...]

Some of us can say the same, but still, I don't think our circumstances were ever quite like these. What about for you?

[bleedingunversed]

I never lost all my powers but I've been to plenty of strange worlds, some even stranger than this.

[And this place lacked Xehanort which was a nice break, if he was going to be honest.]

This place is honestly kind of boring without the Unversed around, though.

[beastofasister]

Mm... That's not exactly what I meant. [Though she supposes that piece of information is valuable in its own way. Tilting her head, she gives him another glance over, clarifying as she looks up to his face again:] You didn't come here on purpose, did you?

[bleedingunversed]

[Vanitas tilts his head, looking mock thoughtful.]

Wish I could say I did but I didn't. Doesn't make much difference to me, though.
