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.]

Yes, there are. I'm part of a resistance group doing just that...but I can't really help them from here. I wish I could.

...it's not always a break here, though. The later part of this month can be pretty difficult to live with, depending on what they do to us.

Well, at least you'll be able to help them again once you get back. Even if it takes a while, I'm sure you'll do a great job.

[...ah, yeah. That.]

You mean the experiments, right?

That's right. The ones we can predict...and the ones we can't. At least the town-wide ones we can, though only when they'll happen and not what.

I read about some of 'em in the guide. It's like half of them are really dangerous and the others are just weird.

I guess they really are unpredictable.

Most of them aren't harmful, at least not directly...but you're right about weird. Imagine teleporting every few minutes and not being able to stop it....

Ouch. What if you wound up on top of someone, or in someone else's house?

...I accidentally shot magic at someone. I was training in the barracks and I teleported just before that.

[So very far from the worst incident -people teleporting in her shower while she was using it- but it's enough to make her wince.]

Man, that's messed up! The didn't get hurt too bad, right?

No, thankfully. We were lucky in that, but to think that it could have happened....

Well, at least it's over for now.

And with luck, maybe the next one won't be as bad. We'll just have to wait and see.
