So, here is where you go to ask me questions regarding my headcanon for my characters, if there are any to be had! I play Brook, Faust, Jak and Vincent Valentine.
OH OH LATE but I thought of a question for Vincent that... may not require a totally emo response!
So I was rewatching Advent Children and I noticed that Marlene seemed comfortable with Vincent - completely not intimidated and even criticizing him for not having a phone. And then when he showed up again to fight Bahamut, the first words out of his mouth were "Where can I buy a phone?" so I think he actually listened to what she said.
Any story behind that, or do you think Marlene is just taking her cues from Barret?
First of all: Vincent Valentine either has terrible priorities, or he's just so cool that a giant laserdragon trying to blow the crap out of the city is just not as important as satisfying a little girl's random wish.
The way I imagine it, is that Vincent just finds the idea of a cellphone... maybe not appealing, but sensible. Sometimes, it's just a good idea to be able to contact and be contacted by people no matter where you are, and he acknowledges that. But as to the reason he asks for a cellphone before asking people if they're okay or SO HEY WHAT ABOUT THAT DRAGON HUH... god. I couldn't say. I cannot believe that he was just making a wry kind of joke-ish statement, like "huh, so there's a laserdragon, so does anyone of you guys know where I can buy a phone? Anyone?" But... nothing else I think about makes sense.
So in short: he wanted to buy a phone, and made a dry joke from it.
And regarding Marlene, well, he's obviously topped by tiny adorable children. In his own, deeply dumb kind of way.
