[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.

[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~

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

... [Looks less than pleased upon hearing this]

I would hope there are better things to occupy my time with.

[madamemoiselle]

Not really. You can always stay home, but that wouldn't be any fun. Besides, if it's for everyone, home might not be home anymore! Ah, like my home in New York changed to this weird place called....oh, I think that Zack person called it Midgar or something like that. Ne, it's really awful~~

[frigidfourth.livejournal.com]

Fascinating... So the worlds can affect each other. In that case, I'm beginning to see why they would call this an experiment.
