I'm captain, and if you win---

[So, despite recent events Ven's managed to perk up quite a bit. Having not run into Vanitas since their little kitchen brawl he's considerably less worried about... things and is taking the time to do something a bit more fun. But what is that? Well, he's in the simulation room today, but instead of using it to train he's done something else entirely.

The room looks like the other side of Destiny Islands, where Sora and Riku often raced. Ven just so happens to be running the course, quickly darting across the bridge, and-- hah! He dodged that loose board this time! Now for the pulley, and then the trees---

And yeah. That's about when he falls down. Still, he's getting better at this!]

Just watch, Kairi. Next time we race, I'll be ready!

[The door's wide open, so anyone is free to witness Ven's silliness.]

[ooc: OKAY. His thread with Vanitas is getting to spoilerville pretty fast, so. Warning, y'all.

EDIT: Others can tag, by the way; threads will just take place before the one with Vanitas.]

[But one time when he falls there is a SURPRISE waiting at the bottom. And what is this surprise?

One hint: it's not ice cream]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[It takes him a second to notice Vanitas, since he's just getting back to his feet, but when he does...

He immediately tenses up. Oh man, just the guy he was avoiding!]

--When'd you get here?

[stalksthewind.livejournal.com]

[A light shrug there, but he answers-]

You should truly grow more aware of your surroundings, Ventus.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Hey, I was busy! It's not like I have eyes in the back of my head.

[He's really tempted to summon his Keyblade juuust in case.]

[stalksthewind.livejournal.com]

Even so, a true apprentice should be able to know when others are abound; particularly those that they might fall into conflict with.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

I know... I just thought that maybe you'd given up for a while.

[Le woe.]

I guess you're gonna want to fight again.

[stalksthewind.livejournal.com]

Ventus, I will never stop... until your resolve can truly match my own.

[KEBUREDO, SUMMON]

Show me your might.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

I...

[He doesn't want to fight. He saw that other Ven, but--]

Fine. I'll do it.

[KIBUREDO GET!]

[stalksthewind.livejournal.com]

[LAUGH. AH HA HA HA HA

AND THEN HE JUMPS A GOOD TEN FEET IN THE AIR AND firaga's down at Ven]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[NOT THE LAUGH. Yeah well, Ven immediately dodge rolls out of his way, throwing up a strike raid at him. >|]

[stalksthewind.livejournal.com]

[Yeah well guess what? He DODGE ROLLS IN MID-AIR. Okay no he actually more like air-slides, but he still evades, lands, and then rushes in for a nice slash!]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Dodge rolling again. Now watch him try and get in there for some combos.]

[stalksthewind.livejournal.com]

[BLOCK BLOCK -- hit. And then he LAUGHS again]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[someone is watching curiously!]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Well, Ven's about to start the race again when he catches sight of the kiddo--]

Oh, hey!

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

What're you doin'?

[he's not tall enough to reach the pulley, he and Sora usually just race by foot.]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Just practicing for a race!

[Aw, but that's okay. He's just a kid, after all.]

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

Who're you gonna race against?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Kairi. She's a friend of mine.

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

Ew, a girl?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Hey, what's wrong with girls?

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

They have cooties unless you make em take a bath with special soap.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Cooties?

[... Cute kid. Okay, he'll do what Terra does because Terra is awesome and his bro-- have a lil' hair ruffle.]

Who told you that?

[twilit-kid.livejournal.com]

[aaaa my hair]

One of the bigger kids said so. An' a girl told me she did have em an' was gonna give em to me.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Well, don't listen to 'em! Cooties don't really exist, and girls are just fine.
