when you wish upon a staaaaar

[Most people use the simulation to train. He has, too, but this time Ven is using it for something a bit different.

The entire place is pitch black at first, an empty void. However, before long it starts to light up with what appears to be numerous stars and even 'planets'. More and more of these appear, taking on the appearance of a miniature solar system. Obviously the planets aren't life-sized; rather, they're scaled down so that the entire system is visible. He's even tossing in some asteroids for good measure!

Though eventually he pauses, turning away from the controls to look at his work.]

I wonder...

[Before long he turns back to the controls and begins toying around again, this time scaling things way up. Now there's a moon large enough to stand on and explore. He grins, playing with a few more controls before he...starts to float a little.

Yup. Someone's having a little too much fun with this space simulation. The door's wide open, too, so anyone can witness this silliness.]

[Well, training *had* been Xehanort's plan... but instead, he looks through the door, steps in slightly, laughs.]

Very nice.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[Whoa-- he shifts awkwardly in the air for a minute. Low gravity is weird. Cool, but weird--

But eventually he catches sight of Xehanort.]

Hey!

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Smiling, stepping in further - whoa! He nearly goes drifting off himself for a moment, but just sort of bounces.]

Hello there, Ven! [Waves-] Enjoying yourself?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

You bet!

[He laughs, trying to bring himself doooown-- ah, there we go.]

I figured it was worth a shot, especially since everything this place makes seems to real.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

I've never been able to find limits to it. And believe me, I've tried.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

What'd you try?

[He perks up, genuinely curious.]

*late addition to post*

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Let me see.

[Checking things off on his fingers.]

There was the infinite tower... the multi-dimensional structure... the optical illusion room - that one made me a little ill, I'll admit. Or more mundanely? City streets, busy places, people and beings everywhere...

[A bit of a chuckle.]

Anything that came to mind.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

And anything crazy would probably work, too. Even some of the other rooms here are already out there.

Like that jello room, or the place with the melting clocks.

[He shudders.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Jello...? [He shakes his head.] I'm glad I missed that one, I think.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

It's a pool full of the stuff! I never tried swimming in it, though. Looks like it'd be really messy.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[That gets a laugh.] I can imagine that too easily.

...What inspired this little [hand wave] project, then?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Well, I was just thinking about how this place works. It's one thing to look at the stars, but to see 'em up close like this... even if it's just a simulation, I thought it'd be a lot of fun.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[He grins.]

I'm with you, actually. It's a great idea.

[startersubject.livejournal.com]

... what is this, Discovery Place?

[ Riku peeks his head in, looking around, eyes suspi--... ]

Roxas?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Plus you can get away with stuff like this!

[He jumps and... floaty!]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[...Huh. Who's this guy?

He lands slowly, shaking his head.]

No, my name's Ventus.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[A bit of a laugh.
...What the hell. He'll just join Ven up there.]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Awesome. He's tempted to explore this surface he created~]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Drifting on over, looking around...]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[The surface itself is pretty bare, but the stars and planets look pretty ace from here. Ven tried his hardest to make this look cool.]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[There's a bit of him that's screaming about the scientific accuracy, but the rest of him shouts it down. Seriously. It's just fun.]

I can tell you put a lot of work into this.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Well, I found some books about it, too. They definitely helped.

[He doesn't read too much, but when it's about stars? Sure, why not?]

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

[Nodding:]

I had some good ones... I haven't been able to track them down again, though. It's kind of a shame.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Isn't there a library here? I bet you could find all kinds of things there!

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

I'm very familiar with it. Or I was with the one - before I came back here. Still haven't managed to find it again. [He gives a bit of a laugh.]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Well, you never know. Maybe one of these days it'll pop up when you least expect it.

[walkingspoiler.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't surprise me. [He pauses.] Although it possibly will at that point.
