It's like a Vanitas flood, what is this---

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ Soooooo... stumbling out of a door is what appears to be a Vanitas. Oddly, he's clutching his head as if he's in a state of immense pain.

Those able to sense light and darkness in hearts will notice that, despite his dark armor, his heart is... surprisingly full of light. Could that be why he seems so dazed? Whatever the case, he's worse for wear. Between groans, he manages to mutter-- ]

Was that... Kingdom Hearts?

[ ooc: Stuff went down in the ball post. :| So, for a few days, Creepertas has been 'cleansed' and will be significantly less of a bastard. Just don't expect sunshine and rainbows out of this one.

EDIT: Nevermind. There is Spoilerfaise here. ]

[ What is she even--

He's tensing up again here, unsure of how to react. This... isn't exactly what he'd expected from the Princess. ]

If I said it once, I'll say it again... you're too trusting. Why do you even care, Princess?

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[Her arms squeezed very gently, her chin resting on his shoulder.] I'm not.. trusting you. I know you won't be like this for very long. [Now it was more of a real hug, closing her eyes. She's tense, but she wasn't letting go yet.] I care because.. [Seeing you in pain is like seeing him in pain too.] I have a heart that can't deal with others suffering.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

I see...

[ Sigh. She just loves making things difficult, doesn't she?

Well, fine. He'll just roll with it. Blame the fact that his heart's primarily light right now. ]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[With him hugging back, he would be able to tell she was shaking just slightly. She's more upset about him being in this much pain than she's letting on, mostly due to common sense, but her heart still tugs for hurt people.]

[ He's going to keep this incredibly brief. Best not to give her any ideas, after all.

But... with another sigh, he dismisses the visor of his helmet once he steps back. How odd that the yellow in his eyes is completely gone. ]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[Having let go as well, she blinked when the visor went down as he stepped back -- double taking is go.] Your.. eyes. [She's taking a step closer to peer. Yeah, they're definitely not gold anymore.] They're blue.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Great. So even my appearance has changed.

[ Albeit barely. He doesn't sound very pleased, though. ]

It makes sense. Ventus' eyes are blue. The same can be said about the br-- kid he's connected with.

[ Why yes, he just hinted at what he is. ...Wonderful. ]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[Pauses, catching part of that and tips her head.] Ventus? And he's connected to someone..? [Why yes, she is going to ask. She's actually really curious now, but is at least taking a step back out of his space bubble. Sorry if she's staring a little though, with the blue eyes, she's half changing his hair color in her mind.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ Drat. ]

Forget I said anything.

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[She has a name. Kairi will probably be looking for Ventus now to ask what he knows. Shakes her head, a small smile slipping onto her face.] I'm afraid I can't. I did say I would try to stop you from achieving your goal here. [She reached up, almost as if to brush a spike of hair before dropping her hand and backing up another few steps.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ ...Hah. He shakes his head, almost looking amused. ]

It's not going to work.

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

There is always a chance.. and now I have a starting point. [Ventus.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

You really shouldn't get involved. You're not even from the same point in time.

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

... Are you from the past or the future? [Now that is something she was never able to find out.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

The past, Princess.

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[Now she's wondering..] Did I ever meet you before?

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

No, but the Unversed did attack you.

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

Can you show me what kind did? [She's so certain she would have remembered that, she look fairly troubled that she doesn't.. remember anything resembling it. Does it have to do with the vague memory of her Grandmother?]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

I can try.

[ And try he does. Vanitas attempts to summon Unversed... only none appear. Just tiny whisps of darkness that fade instantly. ]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[If she was anyone but herself, she would have laughed. He should be grateful she just blinked, before offering a small smile.] Ah.. it's okay.

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

Figures. Of course I'd be powerless in this state.

[ He sounds rather agitated. And once again he clutches his head. ]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[She wound up biting her lip in worry, taking a few steps in to gently touch his shoulder again.] .. Do you think a potion would help? [Actually digging into the little pouch on her hip, pulling one out.] It may not do anything about the light, but maybe it won't be as painful..

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

It won't work. I doubt anything will stop the pain other than ending all resistance.

[ He adds, dryly-- ]

I'm not going to let this control me.

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[Slows, then stops with a sad look, genuinely looking worried.]

[darkenedgale.livejournal.com]

[ He winces before covering his face with both hands. It's painful. His mind's still intact, but his heart is burning with light. ]
