First Shooting Star - voice/action;

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.]

[...OKAY SO. UH. He's just going to stare at the journal very very closely, trying to figure out what the heck is happening here.]

What? [He's not even aware he just spoke, but he's still just hovering and more or less spying on this...this imposture.]

[Another person with his face?

And his voice too?

Yeah, um. Ven's trying not to stare, but... it's really not working.]

You're...

[It's okay, because he's probably just mirror that expression through the journal.]

...not you. [To answer his question, he means.]

Then who are you?

[He doesn't sound mad or anything, just...bewildered.]

Maybe you should tell me who you are first, just in case.

Well, I'm Ventus.

Ventus. [He's not sure what to really think about that.] Right. I'm Roxas.

So you're Xion's friend. I guess he wasn't kidding.

Yeah, I'm Xion's fr--[Wait. What.]

Um...Xion's a girl, actually.

She is?

[Well, that explains the voice.]

Then how come she looks like me?

What? She doesn't! That would mean she looks like me, but she doesn't. She looks like...you know, Xion. Short black hair, blue eyes?

But when I look at her, all I see is myself. Even her clothes are the same.

...but that doesn't make any sense. Xion's not you.

Maybe you see everybody as you, then.

But that's just it. Only you and Xion look like me.

Before I got here, I didn't even think this was possible.

Who else have you met here so far? [He's curious if the rest of his friends know Ventus is here.]

Well, I didn't get all their names yet, but I've talked to maybe ten people.

There's Leon, Ted, this guy I met back in Radiant Garden, you and Xion... Lea-- er, Axel's helping me get to the village right now, and I ran into a guy named Bon Clay.

[Really, listing them all would take a while. :c]

[He just nods along as Ven names off these people, people that he's familiar with, but he suddenly hones in on that second to last name.]

What'd you just call him?

Lea. He's a friend of mine, but he's changed a lot since I first met him.

[Uh...huh.] And how long ago was that?

Maybe a few weeks?

[Hum. Because he had to travel to Disney Town, then to Olympus, and then Deep Space...]

I didn't get to know him that well before I left Radiant Garden, but he said that we're friends anyway. I'm kinda worried, though, because he said he lost his heart.

[...Give him a second, Ven, Roxas is doing quick-math here. Axel has been Axel for as long as he's known him, never Lea, and he's known Axel for years now. So that meant that Ven's from the past? And he's been to the garden, which means...whoa.]

What else did he say? How'd you meet him in the garden?

[Hmmm. Where to start...]

Well, we first met after Terra and Aqua left, and I was pretty bummed out at the time. The two of them kept telling me to go home because it was too dangerous, and the two of them got into a huge fight. I didn't know what to do because I'd never seen them fight before.

[Not like that, anyway. Training? Sure. The exam? Absolutely. But not a real argument...]

That's when Lea showed up. He made fun of the wooden Keyblade Terra gave me, and at first I was pretty mad. Then the two of us sparred, and he really helped me feel better.

[There's a pause, and Ven laughs quietly. He remembers it all so well.]

He had this friend named Isa, and just watching the two of them showed me a side of friendship I hadn't really thought of before. And after I met 'em, I decided to go and make some new friends, just so I could understand things better.

[He'll file the names Terra and Aqua for memory later. He's listening to Ventus ramble, making notes on a spare sheet of paper and everything. Research. It's important. He smirks a little at the idea of Axel's Other making fun of a wooden Keyblade. It fits.

...however, that smirk quickly disappears. A friend named...

...let's just do some quick letter-arranging...

...the fuck? The fuck is this? Oh right, Ventus is probably expecting an answer to all of that.]

Did you make a lot of new friends after that? [His tone has shifted into something more guarded though, but he is genuinely curious.]

[Ven isn't going to ask about the tone. Instead, he'll happily respond:]

You bet! I met a lot of people in my travels. Queen Minnie, Huey, Dewie, and Louie, Herc and Zack, Experiment 626...

Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, Tink, and before I came here I was trying to find Mickey.

[He's familiar with some of those names at least.]

Why were you trying to find the King?
