oh god the rapping dog

[wingenvy]

[Zack will most definitely be at the party! Gotta support his little blond bro, after all. He'll be mostly hanging out around the food table, indulging his SOLDIER appetite and talking to anyone who happens to cross his path, so whoever crosses his path should best prepare for plenty of happy yakking.]

[wingenvy]

I wonder if I should meet him someday. [A meeting that doesn't involve swords or anything. That could be interesting.]

[risingwinds]

I guess you could, but he's kinda a jerk still.

[Not as bad as he could be, but still a jerk.]

[wingenvy]

I've known plenty of jerks in my lifetime. I think I can handle one more.

[He's important to Ven, one way or another, so why not?]

[risingwinds]

Yeah, you're really tough! Plus, all he can really do right now is throw out some nasty insults.

[wingenvy]

So the scary Keyblade dude's been disarmed now?

[risingwinds]

Basically. He's blind right now, and he can't control the Unversed anymore.

[wingenvy]

Oh wow, rough. ...Think he'll go back to being like that if he ever gets his eyesight fixed, or is he changing for the better?

[risingwinds]

I'm hoping he'll be able to change before he gets his sight back. Even he knows that hurting people isn't gonna get him anything but more penalties.

[wingenvy]

Yeah, it is kinda pointless. Besides the temporary thrill, it's not like it gets us anywhere in the way of long-term consequences. What is it, a week for death and a few months for those penalty things to be gone? Then it's right back to normal.

[risingwinds]

Yeah, but losing his sight for months... It's a pretty big smack in the face, especially for somebody like him.

[There's someone by the door checking you out looking at you, Zack. Terra didn't give him much thought when he had first arrived, since he had been focused on cooking, but now...

He should know this guy, right?]

[wingenvy]

[Well, well! Terra isn't entirely familiar to Zack, but he's heard the guy on and off the journal, and Ventus talks about him enough that he's someone that Zack has wanted to meet for a while. Thus! Once Terra is spotted, Zack wanders over, halting before the man with his hands on his hips.]

Hey! You're Terra, right?

[erodingearth]

[Up close, the man's even taller. Even his voice is familiar, and Terra has to stop himself from asking about that outright.]

That's right. Thanks for coming to Ven's party.

[wingenvy]

No need to thank me! I'm glad to be here- Ven's a good friend. [He grins and hold out a hand.] By the way, I'm Zack.

[erodingearth]

[Terra's already reached out to take the other man's hand when the name registers, and he stands there gripping his hand silently for a few seconds as this revelation sinks in.]

...Zack. Huh.
