C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G song

[Well, after a run-in with his stalker/troll, Ven's mood has kinda been ruined. So what's he doing to keep his mind off of things?

...Digging through the closets, it seems. Yes, it appears that he's grabbing all sorts of things including a large backpack, some sleeping bags, and a few other odds and ends. He pauses briefly when he eyes a tent and then shakes his head.]

Sleeping under the stars would be more fun.

[And back to rummaging he goes! Just try not to trip on the pile o' stuff behind him.]

[ ....Okay so one good thing about portals: if you're quiet with them, you can sneak up on people! ]

Boo.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[BZUUUUH?!]

Whoa!

[yeah. Way to scare him, Kairi.]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ She's going to give him some space, giggling as she does so. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Okay, he laughs, too. And watch him do his best Vanitas impression.]

I really need to be more... aware.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ Okay, she just cracks up at that. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

That's what he said when I ran into him. I can't believe he's still around.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

You ran into him, too?

[ Suddenly, she's worried. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

Yeah. He got all upset because I didn't want to fight him. He knows about us, too.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I... I know.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

I don't know what to do. He's not after the anymore, but he still wants to keep fighting me.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

It's all he's... really there for, if you think about it.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know...

[Sigh.]

Even after everything he's done, I guess I can't help but feel kinda sorry for him. He doesn't understand that there's so many better things out there.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

I don't know if he can. I've got the benefit of having been me before I became Vanitas. I've experienced the better things, and continue to do so. He might not be able to at all.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

I know. And even if he could, it might be hard to get him to understand.

[And maybe he shouldn't try. Vanitas is dangerous, after all, but...]

But he's never had friends. I had Terra and Aqua, while the only company he's ever had is Master Xehanort.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

It's not as simple as that, Ven. It wouldn't be like how it was with me. He doesn't have guilt, he doesn't have experience as anything other than your darkness, and I don't know if he's capable of anything other than negative emotion.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

I know, but...

[He shifts a little.]

I dunno. He's done some pretty weird stuff that I don't understand. While he kept talking about fighting, he randomly pulled out some cards and said something about it being enjoyable, so maybe...

[Maybe he's just being hopeful. Kind of a risky thing to do with Vanitas.]

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

...cards. Really?

[ That's just bizarre. ]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

Yeah! He said we could do that instead of fighting, but then he went back to attacking me.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

Maybe he was trying to catch you off-guard?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

I dunno. He can be pretty weird sometimes.

[A beat.]

I mean, half the time he's trying to fight me, and the other half he's just... there doing something weird like making sandwiches. It's hard to tell what he's really after.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

I guess he needs to eat, too.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

All I know is that he can't keep fighting forever.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

He'll try, though.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

I know. But maybe I can change his mind somehow. I've gotta try.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

Ven...

[ She knows how Ven is, of course, why he wants to do this so badly- but it doesn't mean it's any less dangerous. ]
