vapidusThe weather's sunny in the park, with a gentle breeze blowing in off the sea. It makes the sight in front of them that much more jarringly incongruous.
Vanitas never liked Eraqus, but that didn't mean he ever expected this to happen. 'This', being his body impaled through the chest upon the helmet of the verdigrised bronze statue in the Imperial Park. Ventus's gaze was currently fixed on it. So were a large number of phone cameras, behind the cordon.
Only a cursory check of the internet was needed to know this was already going viral. The who wasn't really mattering or known just yet from what he could see, but this was a popular tourist spot, and that was enough to cause ripples on it's own.
A statue of the samurai Kusunoki Masashige. Famous for overthrowing the Kamakura Shogunate on behalf of the Emperor in just six short years. He relayed in summary, because while there was more detail it was both boring and probably irrelevant, and then snorted. Then he died and they put this up at some point. Interesting choice.
He took the opportunity to start scanning the situation for later reconstruction, prodding at Ventus's thoughts while that ran in the background.
Still there, Ventus? His tone was offhand and idle, but so had been the person whose skull he was currently in.

Let's see... Vanitas says like he's looking through pages or tapping a finger on his chin, despite the fact he can bring up the files pretty much instantly. Says right here it's 'Minami'. It does not. In some ways this is Vanitas's object lesson in not relying on him too much, but mostly it's the opportunity to mess with two birds with one stone.

"It's Kagami."
"Oh!" Ven nods slowly. "Sorry I got the first letter wrong. Vani- I mean I must have misremembered. Sorry Kinami."
..................
"It's Kagami"
At this point Ven is looking inward on this.
??????????????????????
Isn't that what I said?

This is hilarious.
Poor guy. Look at him, he's utterly defeated. So cruel of you, Ben.
He's having way too much fun with this, and while he doesn't have an expression, his amused tone is the same as not keeping a straight face.
