Hello?

So here's a dumb question, maybe, but I figure since you've spent some time in a library, you'd have a good recommendation.

What's a really good, long non-fiction book?

[Voicemail]

[caliginose]

My apologies for the wait, but I have a few choices here that may interest you.

The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements

Numbers Rule Your World: The Hidden Influence of Probabilities and Statistics on Everything You Do

The 4 Percent Universe: Dark Matter, Dark Energy, and the Race to Discover the Rest of Reality

[That last one...he's almost sure that Xehanort's playing with him]

Okay...thanks. Which is the most serious?

[Maybe...he'll just go with Edgeworth's suggestion after all]

[ It is harmless science, dear boy. Nothing more. ]

It depends on one's area of expertise and interest. The first is best for a chemist; the second for a mathematician. The last is the most complex, involving a detailed mix of physics, theory, and a little faith.

When and where is this... dinner going to be?

[voicemail]

[caliginose]

The evening of the 15th, unless there is another time more convenient to you.

[voicemail]

[todomarishi]

It's fine. I don't care. Where will it be?

[voicemail]

[caliginose]

A restaurant in Sector Five called Chakra.

I will send you the address.

[normally, he would head back immediately to inform Xehanort of any "changes" as requested, but he's literally overflowing with frustration, and has elected to stay out after sirens to blow off steam. it won't work, but them's the breaks for a negative being like Vanitas.]

[so Xehanort might find a text on his NV, and even though it's only one word, it's likely more than enough information. guess who's slowly regaining control over his adorable little monsters?]

Mandrake.

text;

[caliginose]

[ But progress is progress, is it not? Xehanort knows that Vanitas will approach him when he is good and ready - and in the mood to - so the short message is hardly a bother. ]

Many, or only one?

text;

[theprobator]

One. It came from the Ventus lookalike.

[caliginose]

And his condition afterward?

voicemail;

[todomarishi]

Xehanort.

call;

[caliginose]

Yes, Terra?

call;

[todomarishi]

What's going on?

call;

[caliginose]

I will need context before I can answer that.
