[He has a long playlist queued up by then, a half an hour to kill, and a tall pile of bacon cheese fries drizzled in ranch dressing, courtesy of the kitchen. The best quiet place in the club is back in Sam's manager's office, but...the second best places are the curtained booths up in the VIP section. Which is where he texts Roxas back to meet him, a bit after midnight.]
[He knows the spot well, so when Roxas receives the text, he knows right where to go and appears there shortly. He's still feeling half-sick to his stomach since meeting Vanitasw, but the smell of the cheese fries helps with that considerably.]
[He doesn't need to be told twice. Roxas grabs a hunk of gooey fries and scarfs them down before talking.]
Did you see that guy who arrived here yesterday, on the network? The one who wanted to know about this "dinky little world." It's about him. And Xehanort. [No Master title from him.]
Are you serious? Oh, man...how do I even...hold on.
[Yeah, he can't even begin to explain Vanitas on his own, so he pulls out his own NV and goes back through the network until he finds Vanitas' grand debut, then passes it over to Joe so he can see the actual post, if not the ensuing comments.]
He's someone from the dark. Literally. His name is Vanitas and he's...Ven's darkness, taken out of him and made into that. His own person. I don't know all of what happened, but Terra and Ven told me that much.
He's also...Xemnas. Or we thought he was-Riku said that Xehanort took over this Ansem guy's kingdom, and then started the Organization...but Xemnas was younger. There has to be some kind of connection.
[He's very relieved that Joe doesn't seem to be so admiring of the Keyblade Master now.]
There's more, though. It's not just his boots that are like yours. He had a whole suit that looks a lot like yours.

[Roxas is met with a blank stare- Yep, someone apparently missed that on his NV, by sheer poor timing.]
Nhh...no, why?

It's no good news all around, whatever they are.
