[In spite of recent happenings, Ven starts out his message sounding quite pleased with himself. Maybe even a little excited. However, those watching his entry may notice that his smile comes across as rather forced, as does his enthusiasm.]There sure are a lot of new people this cycle! I know a lot of people have already said it, but welcome to

[ ... Ven. ]

Ven, we're not going to let anything happen to you. We're not.

[ however, that filter. THAT FILTER. do all the boys in her life just suck at filters? is that what's happening here? she'll go ahead and discreetly bump that up to 100% without asking, considering... how much sensitive info is here. ]

[risingwinds]

I know, but I just want to make sure everybody knows, in case we do fight.

[not here at all, nope]

[vanityunbcoming]

[Someone's quickly hacking that filter--easy as pie, now that he's been here a while and developed his journal skills. Vanitas reads over the information therein, but doesn't comment. No. Patience is a virtue he doesn't have much of, but in this case he's willing to hold himself back.

He just grins to himself, and closes the entry.]

[seiriald]

.... Ven? [This thing about darkness, she doesn't really understand it. But she does understand having a body be taken over and used against your will, since she's experienced a similar form of it.

... And she doesn't want him hurt. Human he may be... but he'd been so warm and innocent...]

[risingwinds]

Hey, Kaori.

[Just like the earlier part of his entry, he might sound a little strained. Darn it, he's not supposed to be worrying so much!]

[seiriald]

[Don't think she didn't notice either, you seem like a terrible liar.] I don't understand what you're talking about... Keyblades, I mean...

[risingwinds]

Keyblades are weapons used to protect the worlds. The χ-blade's really different, though.

It's way more powerful, and it's supposed to be used to start a war.

[Super special secret weapon? Pinged]

So you are light and he is darkness? Two sides of the same coin. I can see how such a separation may not last, but how did it happen to begin with?

[Written/Filtered]

[risingwinds]

My old Master separated us a long time ago because I wouldn't give into the darkness. Since I couldn't get the χ-blade for him, he removed the darkness from my heart and left me with another Keyblade Master. I guess he wanted me to become stronger so we could fight someday.

Splitting us apart caused me to forget everything, and there's no way I could've fought him back then.

[...How exactly does one rip someone's spirit like that? Man if he knew how, he could think of a number of things he could use that ability for.]

And despite that the both of you can independently function on your own? How interesting and most unfortunate.

And this Vanitas, what exactly is he capable of doing? What should we look out for?

[Written/Filtered]

[risingwinds]

Well, he used to be way stronger than me. The first time I fought him, I could've died, but one of my friends saved me before it was too late.

[Granted, he's gotten much stronger since then.]

I don't know how strong he'll be if we join together, but he's really tough on his own. Vanitas can use a bunch of powerful magic, teleport, sink into the ground and attack from below, and create copies of himself.

That Keyblade thing... I remember you talking about that.

We'll look out for you, Ven. It'll be okay.

[Voice / Filtered]

[risingwinds]

Thanks, Zack. Hopefully it won't happen, but if it does, I know I've got friends who'll be there.

[Voice / Filtered]

[wingenvy]

No problem, man. [He pauses.] Though... nobody's gonna want to hurt you even if it does go wrong, so what happens to you if we destroy this χ-blade thing?

[Voice / Filtered]

[risingwinds]

I dunno. Aqua never told me what'll happen, but it's gotta be better than letting Vanitas have his way.
