born from sleep

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

[In the Land of Departure room, a Ven is curled up on one of the white seats in the training grounds, fast asleep. This wouldn't be such an uncommon sight if it weren't for the fact that well.

He's in his thirties.

Waking him up would be a good idea though, given several Floods have just appeared and circled around him.]

[Those are getting a Quake thrown at them, though that means that might have woken him up too. Well, never mind, you shouldn't be napping on the job anyway.

He walks over and rests a hand on the edge of what Ven is sleeping in, staring down at him.]

Ven.

[:|]

[--she is so glad she was nostalgia-ing in this room. Any of the Floods that survived are being Blizzaga'd now.]

[Opens one eye lazily and sits up, just as more Unversed appear. Bruisers and --fml-- Irritable Tanks-- and he's calling his Keyblade now and casting Aeroga, taking out majority of the Bruisers BUT YOU GUYS CAN DEAL WITH THE IRRITABLE TANKS, RIGHT.]

I was awake, I was going to get them!

[Stop judging me :c -- hi, Aqua.]

[stillbottoms.livejournal.com]

[Hi waifu-- great, several of them already swelled up and he's running away from them, trying to get a good shotlock.]

You should have slept before we started on the night shift!

[Readying cannon in 3, 2...]

[stilltops.livejournal.com]

[She will never not hate these things. :| Gets out of the way of the cannon, readying one of her own shotlocks.]

I don't think he can help it.

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Can we discuss my sleeping habits later?!

[Guards like burning against some when they explode around him, just as several Jelly Balls appear. Man, someone must be behind this.]

[stillbottoms.livejournal.com]

[Fires off the cannon, before casting Magnet to lump the smaller jellies together so Aqua can deal with them.]

[stilltops.livejournal.com]

[othx.

MEGA FLARE.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

[Silence.

And then Iron Prisoner IV appears.]

... you have got to be kidding me.

[Slumps a little. Aw man. There goes his nap.]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

Ven!

[What are you doing, you. She'll be charging in and casting a fire spell at all those Floods.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

[don't worry, he was just resting his eyes, That Keyblade gets called and he's casting Holy, annihilating anything around him. He sits up, frowning worriedly when he sees her.]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

You have to be careful!

[She makes her way over to him, frowning too.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

I was!

What are you doing, shouldn't you be resting?

[Now you got him worried. He's making his way over faster though.]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

[She'll meet him halfway, rolling her eyes.]

I'm fine. I don't have to in bed all day.

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but walking around like this at night is not fine! It's not fine at all! Come on, you gotta go back to where its safer.

[Fuss fuss fuss, she should be used to him by now.]

[stillsmelly.livejournal.com]

Oh, and napping in the middle of a dangerous area is better?

[She gives him a look, taking his hand and pulling him away with her, Bright Crest still summoned in the other.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

I was just resting my eyes.

[Even at nearing forty, he can still pout. He's doing it right now. Put that away, he's the one doing the protecting 8|]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[So yeah. He was just coming here to chill, but the Unversed? Not a pretty sign.

Not even hesitating, he summons his Keyblade, rushing for the Unversed. And to his older, sleeping double:]

Look out!

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

[An in a blink of an eye that Keyblade is raised, casting probably the strongest Holy ever and annihilating everything.]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Aaaand he stops dead in his tracks, completely awestruck.]

Whoa...

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

... huh, nothing followed. Mustn't be him.

[He looks thoughtful before giving what looks like a slightly bigger version of Fresh Breeze a twirl, before dismissing it and glancing over at the younger Ven.]

Thanks for the heads up.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Him?

[...Dang, that's cool. That awestruck expression is still there, man. Still there.]

Uh, you're welcome.

[...he must be really strong. Maybe even a Master. Is Ven here impressed? Oh yeah.]

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

Vanitas. He throws Unversed at me to "wake" me up sometimes, but when he's in a bad mood it usually means more trouble for me.

[Says this as nonchalantly as possible, before eying him curiously.]
Are you new around here? You're probably the first young Ven I've seen in a while.

[He is a Master. He just doesn't pull that formal shit like Terra and Aqua do.]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Some wake up call that is, but I guess that's normal with Vanitas.

[...Bzuh? New? He shakes his head.]

I've been here for about a year now! But how long've you been here? I've never seen an older me before-- not this old, anyway.

[stillderpy.livejournal.com]

... serious?

[And he looks around.]

... light.

Whoa, whoa, wait. You mean I'm in the past?!
