[warning, incoming darkness]

That's quite a collection.

[endtome]

[Ventus jumps, tensing for a moment until he sees who it is, and relaxes substantially. For a moment he'd thought Vanitas had already-]

Yeah. I don't know what I'm going to do if I can't wish it away.

[But it is fun.]

Want to join me?

[thebackside]

[Small laugh.]

If there's already this much, I guess one more person can't make it worse. Is there anything you're trying to make?

[endtome]

Not really. Just trying things out.

Go on; try it! Just think of something you'd want.

[hypercarnivore]

[Welp so much for exploring, LOOK AT ALL THIS JUNK.]

...Seriously?

[endtome]

[It's not junk it's-- it's, um...]

[Some of it might be junk, yeah. Ventus laughs sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.]

I figured it'd be fun.

[hypercarnivore]

Ya know how yer gonna clean this up?

[Because all of this stuff lying around is kind of...]

[endtome]

Well, I'll try dreaming it away first, but if that doesn't work.

[Bonfire night. And there's got to be some parkland round here somewhere for the rabbits.]

[...He could probably get through most of the ice cream by himself.]

[dualstance]

[ Skateboarding through Twilight Town is just something he does to pass the time, or to think. Going through the tricks he knows and that brief moment when he's in the air, almost as if he's flying, is one of the best feelings in the world.

It's times like these he wishes he could go back to Neverland and just fly, but he makes do with what he can.

He's debating on whether to head over to the clock tower or not when he sees the most random things that shouldn't be in Twilight Town. Confusion obvious on his face, he follows along, wondering just how all of this got here in his beloved quiet town until he sees a familiar figure. Is he-? ]

Ven?

[endtome]

[Oh damn-- Ventus jumps, turning round with a guilty little smile, edging closer to the wooden pile of keyblades; as if he could actually hide the mess.]

[He's actually glad to see Roxas, glad to see he's out and about and looking okay, with all things considered. So he sighs, giving it up as a bad job as he steps away from the keyblade pile, stepping closer to the other blond with that small smile still on his face.]

I'll clean it up. Somehow.

Hi, Roxas.

[dualstance]

Hey...

[ He's really looking around now and wondering just what Ventus is trying to do, making all of this stuff appear, and in Twilight Town no less.

But. If he were honest, he's glad to see the blond like this, out and about and even with a small smile. It's not like the smiles he's seen before when they first met but, it's a smile and a long shot compared to the expression from just days ago. He should be mad that his "hometown" got reduced to this, but he can't muster it up. ]

No offense, Ven, but you have no decorating skills.

[endtome]

No kidding.

[He looks around again, a little caught off guard by Roxas' appearance. There is one thing he can do though- something they've shared a bit of, lately. Kneeling down, he holds out a milky way for the other to take, neatly wrapped in plastic, and only the tiniest bit melted.]

I was just trying some stuff out, that's all. But I'll fix it up before I go.

[Scooping up another treat for himself, he stands, looking at Roxas quietly for a moment. It hasn't really been all that long since they talked, but even so-]

How've you been? [ I was worried. ]

[themshadows]

[Moar darkness. Do not mind this girl who's suddenly there somehow, busy inspecting one of the wooden keyblades.]

...A key.

[endtome]

[Moar scares-- goodie. He notices her presence a few seconds before she speaks, whirling round and almost summoning the real thing; and feeling pretty stupid for doing so.]

Well, sort of. A Keyblade.

[themshadows]

[The longest stare.]

...Seriously.

[endtome]

Seriously.

[Say it with him now. Keyblade.]

[saeptuose]

[ Okay, so she's not entirely sure how she ended up in this part of the city, or where this part of the city even is, but she doesn't seem to mind as she continues to stroll along. Hopefully she's not intruding on anyone's personal property or anything, but so far she hasn't seen anyone at all.

Then of course it's hard to miss the piles of stuff the boy has dreamed up. When she sees him though, there's a bit of hesitation. She can't quite tell at first if it's Ventus or Roxas, but there's a distinct difference in the magical energy that's coming from him that causes her lines to glow, thus making it a bit easier to tell, ]

Ventus. What's all this for?

[endtome]

[Everyone seems to be bent on making sure he gets the scare of his life today. Lior's so quiet on her approach-- or perhaps he's simply too caught up to notice-- that once again he's caught in the act of jump round, tripping over one of the new tapestries and falling into it with a cry of surprise.]

[A brief tussle, and he's quite nicely tangled. He wriggles, poking his head out of the mess and blowing he hair out of his face.]

It's just a test; I wanted to see what'd happen.

[saeptuose]

[ Her eyes widen at that and for a moment she just stands there, bewildered, wondering how he could have possibly accomplished what he just did. It was so clumsy it was actually impressive.

Of course after that initial surprise she's moving to help him out of the tapestry, tugging a bit and grabbing his wrist to help pull him back up to his feet if necessary. ]

Are these all things from home?

[endtome]

[It's the power of the keyblade! He accepts her help gratefully, kicking himself out of the mess before scooping the fabric up and dumping it out the way.]

Hm? Well, most of it. But not just from my world-- all sorts of places. Like these tapestries.

[A few of them are still waving about, the designs intricate, of an olden day style.]

They were from this castle I went to-- with a sleeping princess who'd lost her heart. She was beautiful.
