Eighteenth Shooting Star - voice/action;

[risingwinds]

[He's been staring at his journal for a while, just trying to find the right words. It's... difficult, in part because he's so surprised and also due to sadness.

When Ven speaks into the journal, he tries to hide his disappointment; as a result, he sounds pretty strained.]Hey, guys. Looks like it's December now, which means Christmas is right

Terra...?

[Oh no... She remembers him... he'd been friendly when she'd come to Ventus's birthday party, and given how that had been so soon after she'd arrived... it'd meant a lot.]

I-I'm sorry... We... we can meet up or something, if you want.

[video]

[risingwinds]

Sure! Got any place in mind?

[Ven doesn't care if he hasn't known Lindsay as long as his other friends. A friend is a friend, and he's really looking to spend time with as many people as possible.]

[video]

[magiconcehad]

Oh, uh... Not really.

[Just so long as it's not too near the playground. Because then there will be all kinds of memories and distractions from nearly a month with the Malnosso and that's not what Ven needs right now.]

I guess somewhere around the fountain, or something?

[risingwinds]

Works for me!

[seiriald]

[... She can't stop thinking about how she was in this position herself, not too long ago. Ven had been there for here then, and...]

Ventus...?

[risingwinds]

Hey, Kaori.

[It's definitely ironic how their positions have definitely swapped. 'Course, Ven isn't really thinking of that right now.]

[seiriald]

You really want to do something? [Of course she has no idea what that will be, but hey, she can do this much right now.]

[risingwinds]

Sure! I think it'd be fun to hang out with my friends right now.

[Because he doesn't want to miss out on it in case they leave abruptly, too.]

[vanityunbcoming]

[Vanitas isn't hard to find. After his escapade last week, he's been hanging out more in the house's other unoccupied room and less on the living room couch.

At the moment he's sitting against the bed's headboard with the window cracked open, listening to his CD player with the headphones on. The volume's cranked up just enough to be audible from a couple yards away.]

[risingwinds]

[Oh, Vanitas. Well, hopefully he won't mind a derp sliiiding into the room.]

Hey...

[Ven's not sure if Vanitas will hear him, but.]

[vanityunbcoming]

[Oh, he will. And sense him, too, which helps. After a second, Vanitas reaches up and slides the headphones down around his neck.]

What?

[risingwinds]

[And Ven will... cautiously step closer.]

Terra's gone.

[He's not sure if Vanitas would even notice, unless he took a peek at the journals or anything.]

[voice]

[generalflirt]

Heeey Ven, feel like some breaking and entering?

[voice]

[risingwinds]

Breaking and entering?

[Masaomi, what. Well, at least he's curious about it!]

[voice]

[generalflirt]

Into House 15, to play with their Wii.

[voice]

[risingwinds]

Wii?

[Of course, while some people might joke at how awful that sounds, Ven is not that kind of guy! He doesn't even think of it as anything but...]

Is that a video game system?

[Or some kinda game, anyway.]

[cakeblocked]

[Ah...]

... Sure, Ven. Where do you want to go?

[risingwinds]

I'm not too picky! Anything'd be good.

[cakeblocked]

Then, uh... How about some kind of training? Or something else you want to do... [Pretty much the only physical activity Luke knows is training. And exercising, but that's not really fun.]

[risingwinds]

You know, I could use some training. I've been so busy lately that it's kinda taken the back seat...
