[There's a briiight flash of light before a Ven drops down from the ceiling, unconscious. He starts to plummet down...

Into a gigantic pinball machine that just happened to pop up in the hall. K'THUD! He lands right on one of the bumpers and immediately awakens, not even having the time to grasp the fact that, hallo, he's back from being shanked.

Crash, bang-- up goes one of the paddles! This could definitely take a while.]

[ooc: l-lol. So I have no idea what's going on with the spoilery spoils of doom, but it's been a week, so, doop. Decided to bring the kiddo back. No spoilers in the post right now-- will edit if that changes.]

[ ..... what is this, says the armored Vanitas who's staring more than a little. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Ow, thud, ow, CRASH!

Okay, that's it. D< Keyblade time! Watch as Ven smashes through the glass aaaand...

Lands face-down on the ground. Smooth.]

[derparture.livejournal.com]

[ ... Ouch. Heads over to him. ]

Hey, you okay?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Give him a second-- wait what. Was that a Vanitas who just asked--

Guh. He slooowly gets to his feet, grabbing onto his head with one hand before nodding. Augh.]

I... I think so.

[derparture.livejournal.com]

Was that a ... pinball machine?

[ Kind of headtilts a little bit under that armor. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Wincing for a second aaand...okay. All's well. He's a little surprised that he's back, but he'll sort that out later.]

I guess so. I wonder where it came from, though.

[derparture.livejournal.com]

In this place, who knows?

[ derpVan has no idea about what happened, sadly. :c ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Good point. I've seen way weirder. There's this room that's full of floating poodles!

[He had an...interesting misadventure there, but eh. Now he's curious...]

Hey, are you that Vanitas I saw before? The one dressed like me.

[derparture.livejournal.com]

... Poodles?

[ Nods. ]

Yeah, that's me.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a whole bunch of 'em!

[Well, that's a relief. There's only one other Vanitas he'd want to run into right now, and she's not really a Vanitas. Usually.]

Wow, even your armor looks like mine.

[derparture.livejournal.com]

... Weird.

[ Kind of talking about the poodles and the armor at the same time. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[There's...a lot that's pretty weird. Pardon him if he looks a bit bewildered here, placing a hand right where Vanitas shanked him. Aaand shudder.]

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

...Ven? What happened?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Give him a second, aaand-- BAM. Smashing through that glass.

Ow...]

Huh? Aqua?

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[She looks a bit confused, a lot more worried, as she offers him a hand up]

That looked like it hurt.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

That's because it did.

[Darn bumpers. Still, he appreciates the help, aaand up he goes.]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, that doesn't look good. But hey, she's been looking for you! Which would be why she seems kind of tired but um-- ]

Ven!?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Ow. Ow. At least he's out of there now---

... Snap. It's Kairi! At first Ven looks very happy to see her, but before long his expression shifts to a slightly pained one.]

... Hey, Kairi.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ She stops in front of him, looking weary. Her hair is tied back tightly today, and the black at her roots has stretched downward a bit. ]

Hey. Are you okay?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Well, I am now.

[Aside from some bruises, but he's not really referring to that. He hesitates before speaking again, then...]

But what about you? You're okay, right?

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

I'm... I'm fine.

[ She's just glad to see he's okay. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Her hair... Did he do this to her?]

Kairi...

[Here. Have an epic derp!hug. He feels bad, she probably feels bad, and hugs are good enough to channel out the bad.]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ Okay, she's hugging back, and rather tightly at that. ]

You had me so worried.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Oh, that's fine. He'll tighten it a bit too. Kiddo's very relieved to be back, but also kinda guilting.]

Sorry about that. I was just trying to practice that race course, but Vanitas showed up, and...

[A sigh.]

Well, I think you can guess what happened next.

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[She sets him on his feet then headtilts a bit]

So...you ended up here too?

[looks around a bit, hand on her hip, just wondering where the heck they are]
