Interesting in what way? I'd assume something more than their appearances.

Oh no, really Jafar, they're some smoking stuff, you should take 'em all out on a date. Maybe it'd make you easier to talk with.

Sheesh, what I mean is when I hosted my wonderful party (really not surprised you didn't bother attending), the Heartless initially stayed clear of the majority of those folk. That girly with the dress? Gave her the widest berth you could imagine.

I'd say that's pretty interesting, don't you think, my bearded friend?

Oh no, I couldn't possibly interfere. After all, the red one seems much more your type than mine.

Interesting indeed. What remains to be seen is what exactly they have in common - what their hearts have in common - and how we can use it.

Jafar, my man, hate to not include you on my memos, but I've got my hands tied. I'm a busy god, I can't just put my neck out for these kind of people, and hey, what sort of work are you doing these days?

Oh, yes, I understand. Parties certainly are time consuming.

The same as you, with a bit more...subtlety. I've found one already who may prove of some use. But if your parties interfere with your work, by all means I'll pick up the slack.

Hey, hey. Jafar. You're so entirely slow on the uptake, eh? Mind keepin' up with the class a bit? The party's long gone, out of my mind, save for these key people. Wonderful portraits. You gotta love my work. I am doing my other part of the job - dealing with the lighthearted, breaking some spirits, showing who's the boss around this establishment.

And my, my, such a fine lady I have myself here. A real looker. Can't wait to see how many poor hearts her defenseless little self will make tear up... what a sob story.

See, Jafar, the darkness helps our side easily, sure. But the light? Hey, can't forget to play with that part of the show.

So what you're telling me is, you've returned to kidnapping.

Bravo.

Keep to your...activities, Hades, and I'll to mine. We may meet in the middle if you don't stray too far off.

You know, stick with what works, that's what I always say anyway. Keep up with a good bang, a little trauma, mix it up together for a good cocktail.

May meet in the middle? Oh, I think I'll take a rain check on that one, Jafar. A day for me is complete when I miss out on seeing a mug like yours.

Oh, certainly. And how did that affair with Persephone end, again?

You also seem to be missing the point...but I expected no more.

Parents. They get in the way of everything.

Including "what works," evidently.

Would that not, by definition, mean it does not work?

Of course it works. Perfectly fine, I may add. See this little doll? [insert a headshot of Yuna, or something, lol] The likelihood of her having any crazy parental figures here is slim to none. In which case, I'M STILL WINNING.

Slim to none. I see.

Are you in the habit of quitting while you're behind, or shall we continue?

WHAT'S IT TAKE TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF HELP AROUND HERE?! I STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE AND THIS IS WHAT A GOD GETS IN RETURN FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF SERVICE?!

THAT ROTTEN

BUBBLING

MEASLY CHILD IS

.... worth a lot more than I previously intended.

It seems the rules of the game have changed.

As I stated before: you to yours and I to mine...and I do look forward to that meeting.

Are you both quite done with this pointless bickering?

Ah, the Mistress of Evil herself, come to visit! Hard to believe.

Jafar and I? Oooh I think we've come to a loose understanding.
