cat and mouse;

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[See cat. See cat run.

See cat chase mouse. See Ventus chase the cat chasing the mouse.

It's a rather comedic sight, with the tiny little mouse squeaking and scurrying with the little brown kitten hot on his trail. Ventus, in spite of his rather unfortunate (and spoilery) costume, seems a bit too focused on this wild goose chase to really fuss over the DR's cruel sense of humor.

Eventually, he catches up to the cat and scoops him up.]

Terra, cut it out! Just because he's a mouse doesn't mean you should pick on him.

[...His voice, it seems, is even affected by the costume, given that it sounds a bit distorted.

All in all, this is rather odd sight. Creepy getup, creepy voice, and a...kitten named Terra. Go figure.]

[ooc: Spoiler in the link above. I won't be using spoiler icons, but let's just say the DR did more than change Ven's clothes. c:]

[Dis icon.]

[And here is a Riku, watching this chase scene go down.

...Before raising an eyebrow at the kitten's name. Then of course there's that outfit. Really now, how many variations of that thing are there?]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Terra, c'mon--

[Squirmy kitty is squirmy, and when he sees Aqua? He leaps out of Ven's grip and scurries over to her. It's about then that Ven notices her presence.

...erp. This is awkward.]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Blinkblink.

...

Kitty thinks you smell nice, so he mews. Once the mouse is out of sight, Ven puts him down and scratches the back of his head.]

Believe me, I didn't pick this outfit.

[Doublevoice isn't helping.]

[fellintodark.livejournal.com]

... Ven?

[Please be Ven.]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Hey, Aqua.

[Fear not. He's all Ven... just with an unfortunate outfit, powers, and weapon.

Now, hopefully Aqua won't mind the mewing kitty cat.]

[fellintodark.livejournal.com]

[Hikitty. Sighs in relief as she heads towards him.]

Hey. What happened?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[...Huff. You're no fun, Aqua. The kitty mews and then starts heading back towards the room. Serious discussions are not his forté, because he cannot speak.

Ven, on the other hand, stays put.]

I guess the Dressing Room thought it'd be funny if I got stuck like this.

[He holds out his hand and summons the χ-blade. Is it real or just a trick? Ven's not even sure yet.]

[darkraid.livejournal.com]

...

[Yeah, it really isn't helping. Is Ansem playing the Grand Theft Me card with short, blond kids now?]

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Really! No one's possessing me or anything.

[Froooown. This is frustrating. Meanwhile, the kitty is rubbing up against Riku's legs.]

[darkraid.livejournal.com]

[Why hello, kitty. Riku will just bend to pick up Terra-puss]

So it's this place again?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Yaaay, attention! He mews and proceeds to get all cuddly.

Ven nods.]

Yeah. It's getting pretty close to Halloween, so maybe that's got something to do with it.

[darkraid.livejournal.com]

I see...

[Well, it's not very likely that any big bad's chasing a kitten around. A kitten Riku will scratch behind the ears because cute things get him every time]

It looks different from what I remember.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Purrrr~ Kitty likes you, Riku.]

Huh? What d'you mean?

[darkraid.livejournal.com]

Let's just say I've seen a getup like that before.

[Oh good, because kitty's getting pets too]

The colors weren't exactly the same though.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

You did?

[Hmmm... That's interesting.]

And it wasn't Vanitas, right?

[fellintodark.livejournal.com]

... As long as that's all it is.

[You almost gave her a heart attack :|]

Can you summon your real Keyblade, or just that one?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, Aqua. I'm not gonna let it happen again. I already died once because of this.

[And he'd... really rather not die again. In any case, he shakes his head.]

No. I've already tried, but all I can use is the χ-blade.

[darkraid.livejournal.com]

No. First time I heard of him was from you.

[But since there's oodles of Vens here]

Or...one of you, at least.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

That was me! You're the Riku who saw my posters, right?

[darkraid.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think that's me.

[Unless multiple Rikus were doing the same thing, at any rate]

[coverspine.livejournal.com]

( Right in the way of kitty-Terra's path was Sora, and though he was ready to catch the cat, he wasn't so ready for the imaginary of Ven. Or the sound of his voice, really--so he steps back quickly and looks terrified. Wait--what is this, a Pet the Dog trope? Sora's eyebrows push together. )

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't see any other Rikus, so it's gotta be you.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[...Oh, huh! It's a Sora. A terrified Sora.

This isn't good, and it prompts Ven to put down his kitty and rub at the back of his neck.]

Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

[darkraid.livejournal.com]

Sounds like it's me, then.

So is that...does Kairi end up wearing something like that, too?

[coverspine.livejournal.com]

( Sora eyes the kitten wobbling on the floor instead of Ven. )

Why do you sound like that?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

It's this place. I woke up like this, and the voice is just part of the costume.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

She doesn't wear it all the time, though.

[darkraid.livejournal.com]

I'd hope not. She likes pink more than black.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Pink?

[Hmmm... now he is brainstorming. Piiiink...]

[darkraid.livejournal.com]

Yeah. She wore it a lot, back home.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

I guess I'll have to keep that in mind.

[There has to be something pink and pretty he can get her...]

[coverspine.livejournal.com]

( Sora strides over and gently pokes his costume. )

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[...fff, what. The costume is pretty firm, really. It's armor, but it's light enough for quick and agile movements.

And when Sora pokes him, Ven just gives him a puzzled look.]

[coverspine.livejournal.com]

( He inspects his fingers. No residue. )

Is it uncomfortable?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Kinda. It's not as heavy as my normal armor, but I can't get out of it right now. Somehow, I've got a feeling it'll make things complicated.

[coverspine.livejournal.com]

A magical costume that you cannot get out of changed your voice.

[darkraid.livejournal.com]

[He's got an inkling somebody's sweet on this Kairi, judging by that look]

...Flowers, too. Pink and flowers.
