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.]

Hello~ I didn't realize the New Feathers were coming in so soon this time!

Welcome to Luceti, Ventus-kun.

You did hear voices coming over the journal, and you are handling it properly. Can't really say if it's magic or not, however.

There you are. What the heck are you doing out here anyway?

[Suddenly an Axel! Who is not aware this isn't Roxas yet. Axel raises an eyebrow and tilts his head as he approaches.]

...someone steal your clothes?

[His walk usually leads him into some interesting new acquaintances, yet today seems to be an exception- for he recognizes that blond tuft of hair walking around over there. Or at least, he THINKS he does...]

Looking for something, Blondie?

[ what.

... what.

the fuck was that.

the fuck is this?!

after hearing this voice -- and only belatedly registering what it says -- Xion spends a long time staring at her journal in silence, even as she hears other people reply. she can see him through the camera, too...

and she doesn't like what she sees.

could it be? another one ... like her? after all, there can't be two of Roxas ... but there could be other Replicas out there, maybe even ones Vexen doesn't know about. ]

... do you hear any water?

New feathers?

[Huh... that's interesting!]

Thanks! So this place is called Luceti?

Well, it's the only thing I can think of. Still, I've never seen a book like this before.

Huh?

[He stops in his tracks, turning to face Axel.

And then he squints. Something about this guy is familiar. Really familiar, but it can't be... right?]

Well, I guess they could've been stolen. I don't know why anyone would take my clothes, though.

[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?

[...Wait.

Is that---]

[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.

Well it wasn't me. This time any— [Wait. The wing color is slightly different. Axel's walking closer to give Ventus a closer look.]

They snatch you last night without me realizing it? They didn't keep you long.

[But there's just no way! Why would anyone look just like him?]

[Well, it's rude to stare. There has to be a reason behind this, but first he'll go ahead and answer the question.]

...Yeah, I think so.

[Pardon him if that came out a bit awkwardly, poppet. This is the last thing he expected to see.]

[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'?

What're you talking about? How could I be snatched when I just got here?

[This guy sure is confusing. Plus, he still sounds a lot like Lea...]

[ considering she's already on high alert, his flabbergasted reaction on seeing her sends up all her red flags. people only react that way to her appearance when something has changed... does he know something she doesn't? if so, what? could he be related to the Organization?

it's not really in Xion's nature to be suspicious, but every cycle of new feathers brings risk for her, and she can't afford to let her guard down just yet. ]

Head towards it. You should find a river eventually. Following it will take you straight into the village.

Yes, I hadn't either.

Do you know where you are?

... 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.

Most of the people here in the village call this place Luceti. Er, welcome, I guess.

There's a village here?

[He's still a bit on-edge as well, and definitely a little suspicious. Above all else, though, he's curious and confused. He's not even sure how to approach this.]

Yeah, that's what I heard. Someone told me that if I follow the river, it'll lead the way.

So what's the village like?

...

[Wait. No seriously, wait just a second. This isn't Roxas, is it? He doesn't even really act like Roxas.

...no way. You're kidding me. You're freaking kidding me.

Is this really—]

[If Axel had a heart, it probably would have dropped to his stomach right now upon the realization that this isn't Roxas. It's... Ventus. He's kinda glad to see him but at the same time...

Axel quickly turns away from Ventus and draws his hood up over his head.]

My bad. Wrong person.

[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?
