Second Shooting Star - voice/action;

[risingwinds]

You know, this place isn't so bad. Even if it's a prison, at least it's peaceful, and there's a lot of room to explore. Maybe one of these days I'll go check out the forest or the mountains, but right now I'm fine with sticking around the village. Aqua just got here, anyway, and maybe Terra'll show up soon. If he does, we've already got a house set up. Well, sorta. We just moved in, so there's still a lot we could do.

[Briefly, Ventus pauses. The journals are supposed to be for communication, so there's a lot he could talk about, but where to start?

...Well, there is one thing.]

Anyway, I know that you guys come from all kinds of worlds. So what's your world like?

[Later tonight, people passing by might spot Ventus chilling on the roof of House 39. But why is he out so late in the first place?

Given how focused he is on the sky, it should be fairly clear. One of his favorite things to do back home was look at the stars, and given that the threat of Unversed seems next to nonexistent, there's finally a good opportunity to do just that.

Feel free to join him or maybe scold him for not carrying a blanket... or whatever floats your boat! In spite of the chilly weather, he doesn't seem too bothered, at least.]

Better days? Did something happen?

[voice]

[gamblinghigh.livejournal.com]

The world was nearly destroyed.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

But how'd that happen? Did it have anything to do with darkness?

[voice]

[gamblinghigh.livejournal.com]

Darkness? Not in the least.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Then what happened?

[voice]

[gamblinghigh.livejournal.com]

A mad god rose to power.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

A god?

[That's...intense.]

[voice]

[gamblinghigh.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, yes.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

I've heard of gods before, but I'm guessing this one isn't a nice guy.

[voice]

[gamblinghigh.livejournal.com]

Not in the least.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Man, I'm sorry you had to deal with that, but if the world was almost destroyed, what stopped him from finishing the job?

[voice]

[gamblinghigh.livejournal.com]

Nothing. He's merely taking his time with it.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

And there's nothing anyone can do about it?

[voice]

[gamblinghigh.livejournal.com]

How do you fight a god?

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but there has to be some way! Anything's better than letting the world be destroyed.

[voice]

[gamblinghigh.livejournal.com]

Assuming there is a way, yes.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

How come you're being so negative about it?

[voice]

[gamblinghigh.livejournal.com]

[There's a pause and then he laughs.]

Forgive me. It's hard not to, sometimes.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

It's okay. You have every right to be upset. Besides, I've never experienced anything like that, but you have.

Re: [voice]

[gamblinghigh.livejournal.com]

It's not a hand I'd wish on anyone.

[voice]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Still, I hope something can be done about it. A guy like that deserves to be stopped.

He's a blight on the game. I quite agree.
