Maybe it's magic... That'd explain all the voices. So maybe if I--

[Flip, flip...]

Hey, can anyone hear me? I heard some voices coming from this journal, so I hope I'm doing this right.

[A beat.]

Anyway, my name's Ventus, and I've got a quick question. Could anyone tell me about this place? It looks like I'm in a forest, but I don't see any people around. Truth is, I'm kinda lost.

---

[Those in the forest are sure to find this derp wandering around in new feather garb. He stops every once in a while to look around, occasionally scratching his head.

It's odd. While he's used to world travel and even changes brought on by it to a degree, the fact that he showed up in this world without any of his belongings or the Star Shard. His clothes, his armor, and even the Star Shard just up and disappeared, which makes no sense.

So what's he doing? Well, given the way he's aimlessly making his way through the forest, he's either a) really lost, b) looking for something, or c) a combination of both!]

Man, I wonder what happened. Did somebody steal it?

[And what is this "it"? Should anyone encounter Ventus, he might just explain! For now, he'll continue on his way.]

[ooc: Don't forget to hit up my permissions post if you haven't already! The more specific you are, the better.]

[At last, someone he can talk to! Nodding, Ven approaches Bon Clay, completely and utterly clueless.]

Sure am! It's called a Star Shard. About this big...

[He gives the approximate length with his thumb and index finger.]

Blue, looks kinda like a shooting star. Have you seen it around?

[It is probably to Vens help that he has been to many different worlds- his new acquaintance is approximately around seven feet tall, wearing a stylish suit and a face covered in a thick layer of make-up. He usually causes people to stop and stare, but this child seems different- Bon Clay likes him already~!]

Goodness no, can't say I have... but it's not that strange, you know. They don't let us keep anything from our own worlds in here.

[They?

Taking things from their worlds? So this guy wasn't from this place either?

To say the least, Ven has plenty of questions he could ask, but he'll take things one at a time.]

I don't understand. Who's 'they'?

... Oh goodness you're new, aren't you? Gosh, ah... wait. Let me see if I can't find it somewhere here... oh don't tell me I left home without it...

[He searches through his pockets after his journal, but ends up dry. Must have left it back in his apartment...]

Well... looks like I won't be able to give you the informative explanation, sooo... you'll have to settle with the barebones one. This place, Luceti? Sorry to say it Blondie, but it's a prison run by a group called the Malnosso. And you are in the latest batch of inmates.

[Give him a moment to take this in. A prison... and some group called Malnosso?

He frowns and crosses his arms, trying to figure out what to do about this.]

Hasn't anyone tried to stop them?

Let's put it this way- people have tried. But it's hard for us to get anything done, because the barrier they've put around the place prevents anyone from leaving AND cuts our powers in half.

They're clever bastards, to say the least.

Cut our powers? But how can they do that?

Let's just put it this way- there are others here who can explain that better than I could, and I'm sure they'll just be lining up if you ask around~.

[His current presumption is that this is either Roxas who's memories have been erased... or, since he doesn't move QUITE like Roxas, a twin of his. Goodness, wouldn't THAT be a shocking reunion to behold...]

I guess I could ask around...

[Though it's still pretty confusing. Maybe it's some kind of status effect?]

That you can. But- before that, perhaps we should do introductions~! Bon Clay is the name, been here for about two months now!

[He curtsies and holds out his hand. Yes. Curtsies. It's a thing of his.]

[...Well, this guy sure is an interesting fellow! Ven grins and shakes his hand.]

Nice to meet you, Bon Clay! My name's Ventus. Call me Ven.

Ven it is, then~. Feel free to call me Bon or Clay, whichever catches your fancy.

Now, a curious question out of the blue... would you say you're you a fighter, Ven?

Got it, Clay!

[A fighter, huh?]

I sure am! I've been training as a Keyblade apprentice for as long as I can remember.

Keyblade, huh? Another one of those 'chosen' people, I take it?

I guess you could say that!

Well, I suppose that going by family is one way to do it...

Family? What do you mean?

Well, see... do you happen to have a brother, just out of curiosity?

Nope, not that I know if. If I did, it'd be news to me.

You... don't?

[So then... was this Roxas but older? No, it couldn't be... the movements, the name, it was all wrong. Not even Luceti messing around with the time-stream could mess things up this much...]

Then out of further curiosity, did you ever know your parents?
