Canon is The Case Study of Vanitas, spoilers for chapter 10 possible

[inabluemoon]

Don't give me such a dark look! You knew somewhere inside going into this that a truth like that would come out. As unbelievable as the world can be, this is no fairytale and not everything has a happy ending.

What are you ramblimg about?

[inabluemoon]

Nothing that concerns you, I don't think.

[scapedoll]

Then why speak of it in a public space?

[inabluemoon]

Why not? [A smirk.]

[scapedoll]

Because what's the point of it? [Gonna have to try harder than that to get him riled up.]

[inabluemoon]

Well it's not healthy to bottle up ones' thoughts and emotions, obviously! [Trust him, he's a doctor.]

[scapedoll]

Why not?

[inabluemoon]

It's like shaking chemicals while they're in a confined bottle, sooner or later it will all burst and everything will spew out dangerously.

[scapedoll]

Then why do they do it? [His empty doll eyes, gazed upon him.]

[inabluemoon]

Because living things are drawn to causing their own downfalls. [He smiles.]

[scapedoll]

Yet they do everything in the power to prevent it.

[inabluemoon]

Exactly! Isn't it ironic?

[scapedoll]

Why are they like that? [The strange man seemed to know very much about them.]

[inabluemoon]

Hmm... Who knows? I think it's always been that way. [Well he doesn't. Despite being a good actor he's never been great with understanding others. He tries to avoid it, actually.]

[scapedoll]

[And Karu never bothered to try to understand humans. He didn't even understand the purpose he and the other dolls were made for. Why put so much effort into making them?] It can't be helped.

[inabluemoon]

Hmm, you're right~ [He hums with a knowing smile, looking towards Karu.]

So what are you?

[scapedoll]

A doll. [The empty eyes that can send chills down the spines of humans should be a dead giveaway.]

You don't look like a doll or 'toy'....but you talk about humans like you aren't one.

[inabluemoon]

Really? Fascinating! They really can do wonders with those sorts of things these days, can't they? [Vanitas is probably invading his space a little now to look closer. He's used to robotics since they've gotten popular in his world, but nothing like this.

But he grins again.] Don't get the wrong idea, I really am just an average human!

[scapedoll]

Doesn't it upset you...? [It upset many who found out. It disturbed others, even though they tried to pretend it didn't. You could always tell by how they broke their gaze from you.

Karu didn't budge an inch from where he stood when Vanitas got closer, though he wasn't used to someone being this interested in him.]

[inabluemoon]

Hm? No, should it? [He blinks, tilting his head. There are much more disturbing and upsetting things where Vanitas comes from (and he's been marked by one of them), so Karu hardly even registers as "weird" on his personal scale of things.]

[scapedoll]

To be in the presence of something that shouldn't be alive but still moves and speaks...

[That should upset just about any kind of human. Specially since they had the knowledge to do and create horrific monstrosities.]

[inabluemoon]

And? There are plenty of things that shouldn't be alive and yet insist on being so regardless! [It's... Hard to tell if he's meaning that as a joke or insult.]

Sorry Vanitas---

[scapedoll]

[That brought about silence from him, he had never thought of that. He had never thought about anything, he simply did what was needed.]

Do you have brain damage? [That was the conclusion that came to Karu. This man has been injured and has brain damage and that was why he did not have basic human instincts.]

I mean honestly with Vanitas that's a fair question

[inabluemoon]

[Vanitas just blinks and stares at him for a long moment before erupting into laughter.]

Hahaha! I like you, you're even more amusing than Noe!

He looks like the type who lands on his head/face a lot--

[scapedoll]

I don't see how my question could do that. [But he didn't exactly have a 'human' point of view. Everything was practical and logical.

But who ever this Noè is, Karu felt something akin to pity for having to deal with this.]
