[thump.

there's a ventus sitting against the wall just across the hall from a certain dark-hearted kairi's door. his mouth is pulled in a straight line, and his brow is furrowed. it looks like something's really bothering him. he's absent-mindedly throwing a rubber ball against the opposite wall.

thump.

if anyone's around, the way that the impact the ball makes against the wall sends a vibration across it might be a little annoying. sorry, guys. surely ventus doesn't mean to disrupt anyone's peace.

thump.]

Comments

...my mind is blown.

[Well, it just so happens that Ven here shares a room with that dark-hearted Kairi. Thus, on his way back to the room, he stops and watches the other "Ven" curiously.]

Hey, what're you doing?

he did warn him!

[nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com]

[ventus catches the ball in his hand as it rebounds off the wall, holding it now that someone's breaking his trance.]

Huh?

[wouldn't you know it, he even sounds like him.]

this will be interesting~ Though it probably helps that Ven's costume comes with its abilities too

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Curiouser and curiouser...

But honestly, he's completely clueless.]

I didn't expect to see another me out here. Is something wrong?

but "ventus" wouldn't hurt a fly. :]

[nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com]

[in that case, everything's perfectly normal.]

I, uh...

[he frowns, looking down at the floor.]

I just miss my friends.

true! Van does have an advantage there :}

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[Ah... He'll crouch down, so he's closer to his 'double's' level.]

I understand. I was alone for a long time, but even if they're not here with you, you'll always be connected.

And who knows? Maybe your Terra and Aqua will show up before you know it.

[nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com]

[he lifts those remarkably blue eyes of his, like new hope has ignited within him.]

Yeah, maybe.

[he places a hand over his heart.]

I just wish they were here now.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. My Aqua's here, but Terra...

[He pauses.]

Well, it's kinda complicated. Either way, you've just gotta keep positive. It's what they'd want, right?

[nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com]

[hold up. let's hear the rest of that statement. ventus looks concerned.]

What about Terra?

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

Well, he's... changed. Something happened to him, and now he goes by Xehanort.

[A beat.]

It's still him in control, but he's just so different now. Whenever I see him, he looks pretty upset, and he's been doing these weird experiments lately.

[nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com]

[oh really now? this kid is slumping.]

Terra...

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

[He frowns.]

I'm gonna try to get through to him somehow. Maybe if me and Aqua work together, he'll stop being so sad all the time.

[nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com]

[what a sap. ventus still manages to sound concerned.]

Yeah, maybe do something nice for him.

[erasemefriend.livejournal.com]

That's what I'll do.

[He places his hands behind his head.]

Anyway, when'd you get here?

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ Well, that certain dark-hearted Kairi is peeking out of her and Ven's room with a look of confusion. ]

[nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com]

[hup. ventus will just stop his ruckus-making now that there's a pretty girl in the doorway. hi, kairi. we've never met. really.

he puts his arms behind his head and gives her an apologetic smile.]

Oh, uh. Sorry.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

It's okay. Were you waiting for someone?

[ She is quite unsuspecting~! ]

[nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com]

Actually...

[He's scratching his head, his smile growing into a silly grin.]

I think I was waiting for you.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

You... were?

[ Now that is quite surprising. She only really knows one Ven, and this certainly isn't him. ]

[nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com]

[no, this ventus is certainly not your boyfriend, kairi. but he sure has the same goofy grin.]

It's funny. Something in my heart told me I was supposed to find someone, and now that you're here, it feels like you must have been the one I was looking for.

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

Something in your heart...?

[ She looks a little confused, and thoughtful. ]

I wonder why that is?

[nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com]

[he's stuffing the rubber ball into his pocket and placing his hand on his chest.]

I don't know, but my heart's never led me wrong before. I'm Ven. What's your name?

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

My name's Kairi. It's nice to meet you.

[ Her smile is warm and quite welcoming; even if she's not sure why Ven's heart led him to her, she can at least be nice. ]

[nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com]

Really? Wow, that other me who made the posters of you sure didn't do you justice! You're really pretty.

[cheeky grin.]

So are you still looking for friends?

[temporaltrap.livejournal.com]

[ Kairi goes a little pink at the compliment, sighing a little at the mention of the posters. ]

I guess so. I never actually agreed to him putting those things up.

[nihiloexnihilo.livejournal.com]

[he decides that girls are easy, and more importantly, that kairi is, in fact, a girl. he's even more confident in his plan now. he gets up to his feet.]

It's okay. I'm not asking just because of the posters anyway.
