Kairi's eyes widen and she has to make sure she doesn't jump. She does glance on the ground to see if there are any other Unversed... until she realizes that if Vanitas wanted to attack her, he'd probably just do it himself. Taking a deep breath, she shoots him an annoyed look.

"You do realize I've seen almost none of those guys, right? Nearly all of my experience is with the Heartless."

But, yeah. Now that she actually sees one of the Unversed, it makes perfect sense.

Oh, and this one... now this one is actually kind of interesting, if not something she really would want to think about in terms of Vanitas usually. She frowns in consideration.

"Okay, so... have you ever been touched by anyone in a way that wasn't them trying to kill you?"
princessascended: (Woah)

Okay, that... assuming Vanitas isn't just exaggerating or outright lying to make her uncomfortable, that's probably one of the most horrifying things she's ever heard.

"Just... constantly? You're always in pain?"

What the hell had that psychotic old monster of a man done? And if Vanitas is actually like that, what are the implications? Do the Heartless constantly hurt as well, the same way as the Nobodies have an emptiness they can' fill?

Kairi's mind reels as she considers what this one detail could mean. It's appalling, to say the least. On the other hand, it would kind of explain a lot.
princessascended: (I'm sorry what?)

Of course he'd say that. Kairi sighs, rubbing her forehead a little in exasperation.

"I realize the concepts of empathy and compassion are ones you probably don't grasp very well." And ones he probably considers pathetic weaknesses or something along those lines, on top of that. "But the immediate reaction of just about anyone on our side is going to be exactly that. It's our nature."

The game is completely forgotten in the light of this new revelation.

"Honestly, I'm not really all that good at the whole loathing and despising thing to begin with. The old monster and the three that are basically just him in different forms pretty much have that locked up for me."

Why no, she doesn't think Xehanort's final moments were all that redemptive.

"And even then, I'm not sure I'd want them to be suffering every moment of their lives... I'm not sure I wouldn't want that either, but still."
princessascended: (You're pushing it.)

"Yeah, I'm... actually completely with you there. It really does seem like he got off too easily."

Yes, she realizes she's horribly biased, there. No, she doesn't particularly care. She's got every right to be angry, and if someone wants to so much as suggest that she should forgive and forget, she'll smack them upside the head.

"No matter how he tried to justify his actions, he did everything he did of his own accord. No one pushed, manipulated, or forced him into it. He just thought he knew how to run the worlds better than anyone else."

Time shenanigans notwithstanding.
princessascended: (You're joking)

"Well, mostly the others." She doesn't want to delve too far into that, but she also doesn't feel right taking credit for what was mostly down to the actions of... basically everyone else.

Oh hey, he responded. After a moment of consideration, she presses chest, since that's where his heart is.

The buzzer sound makes her wince even harder for having gotten the last few right.

"Gaaaaaah. Okay, no more going with gut instinct, got it."

"That's... oddly nice of you to say." Though in her experience, what that tends to mean from people on the opposite side of her is "how quickly can we kidnap her and use her against Sora and Riku?"

Regardless, he probably didn't mean it as a full compliment anyway. But she'll take it.
princessascended: (Terrific!)

[personal profile] princessascended 2019-04-02 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, that she can't help but laugh at.

"I know you mean that to be insulting, but given that just about everyone you consider annoying is either a friend of mine or someone I admire, it's basically a compliment."

Well, okay, he probably doesn't think the one on his side are not annoying, but presumably less so.

"Oh good. So now they give us our results-"

A screen pops up, a digital display showing three digit places. The hundreds digit pops up at first, cycling rapidly through all possible numbers... before settling on zero.

"... The highest possible score is a hundred, right?"

The tens digit is next, running through the cycle a few times before stopping on four. Kairi winces, knowing that means they came in under fifty. Probably not a winning score. The last digit cycles through... and ends up at a two.

"So... we got forty-two?"
