[Muttering under his breath and looking rather frustrated as he paces quickly with both eyes closed. Suddenly, something seems off and he opens one, pausing to look around and making a 'hmph' sound]

VI. This is hardly the time for your tricks.

People arrive here so often lately~ It's always fun to see the different kinds of people. Ne, but most of them don't seem as...grumpy as you do~

((ooc: Question for you! Do you take the not-having-hearts thing as a physical aspect? If you play Vexen so that he doesn't have the organ, Diva would know/notice.))

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

I'm not grumpy. Unless you expect everyone arriving to be in a good mood...

[OOC: Yes, I do XDb]

[madamemoiselle]

My, my, but it seems like you are to me. {walks a little closer to peer at him in the face}
It's not right, though. This new person is missing something important.

((ooc: ♥ Thank you!))

[Somewhat intrigued, decides to see if she can figure it out on her own] Am I now?

[OOC: Not a problem. ♥]

[madamemoiselle]

{Places a finger on his chest, right over where his heart should be} There's nothing here. It's quiet.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

Hardly surprising for a person lacking a heart.

[madamemoiselle]

Ah, then it's true! I was afraid I was going deaf or something. {shrugs} But it's still not normal, ne? How is a person without a heart alive? Without blood, then you should be dead.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

If any aspect of it was normal... [Shakes his head] There's no need for blood if you don't actually 'exist'.

[madamemoiselle]

{Well, that comment takes her by surprise. So she reaches up to Vexen's face, placing her hands on either side of his face delicately.}

No, you're lying. You're real.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

[Bats her hands away] In a sense.

[madamemoiselle]

{Withdraws her hands with a small frown} Ne, then you contradicted yourself. If you mean that you don't exist, but then agree that you're real, then that doesn't make any sense.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

In a sense, I'm real because I stand before you now. That doesn't mean I exist, however. I ceased to truly exist the moment I lost my heart.

[Mutters something, sounds a bit like 'so the Heartless don't dwell in every world']

[madamemoiselle]

Then you're just being picky. Being real and existing are the same thing. If you're dead, then you stop existing, not any other time.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

And if you aren't alive or dead? It must be difficult for your uneducated mind to comprehend, I'm sure.

[madamemoiselle]

...Hmph! How rude! Then just what do you define as alive and dead, then?

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

Existing means having the ability to hold light or darkness within your heart. Lacking a heart, of course, it would be impossible for me to be alive. However, I do have a body, which consequentially makes it impossible to say that I am dead.

[madamemoiselle]

That's really how you define existing? How weird. Your home must be a really strange place if that's it.

{Thoughtfully} But I guess if that's how you think of it, then that's true.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

I won't argue that. Then again, all worlds are likely to appear strange to those not living in them.

Precisely.

[madamemoiselle]

{Smiles} I guess so. Oh, then what kind of things are in your world then? Compared to other people that get to come here, mine seems so bo~ring~ The only interesting thing seems to be sister and I, since we're not human anyways. Other than that...it's such a bore compared to the exciting things people here get to do.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

It depends on how you define exciting.

[madamemoiselle]

Well, what is "home" like for you?

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

For me? There is little need to stray far from my work in the basement- And the company is decidedly less pleasant on the higher floors as well.

Unless you meant my 'world' in general.

[madamemoiselle]

You live in a basement? But doesn't that get lonely?

...Well, no, you seem like the kind of person that wouldn't mind being alone anyways.

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

I find it preferable.

[madamemoiselle]

Really? You don't like people? People are weird like that, I guess. But I think you'll have to get used to it! There are a lot of people here that like to talk, me included. You might make a friend, who knows~
