Eleventh Shooting Star - voice;

[In spite of recent happenings, Ven starts out his message sounding quite pleased with himself. Maybe even a little excited. However, those watching his entry may notice that his smile comes across as rather forced, as does his enthusiasm.]

There sure are a lot of new people this cycle! I know a lot of people have already said it, but welcome to Luceti! I know it's rough showing up in a new world, but there's a bunch of people here who'd be willing to help you get comfortable, so don't be afraid to ask. I know I'm always up to lending a hand.

And that reminds me... Terra's here! He's still getting used to this place, so if any of you see him around, don't be afraid to talk to him. He's pretty tall, has brown hair, and is kinda serious sometimes, but once you get to know him, he's a great guy. I bet he wouldn't mind making some new friends.

[However, that enthusiasm doesn't last very long. He remembers his last conversation with Xion over the journals, the impending threat he faces, and all that bottled up fear. Although he's trying his best to stay strong, to be brave, Ven knows better to ignore the truth. So, after a moment's pause, he drops the facade and tosses up a quick filter.]

Filtered from Vanitas//40% 100% Unhackable;

... Actually, there's something else I wanted to talk about. Something really important.

Some of you guys might remember my warning about Vanitas from a few months ago. Well, it turns out that he's way more dangerous than I thought.

Not only that, but he's a part of me. The darkness from my heart.

[It'll probably sound weird to people who aren't used to KH logic, but if anyone questions it, he'll explain then. Right now, he's focused on getting the word out.]

And if the two of us fight, it'll create a powerful weapon called the χ-blade. It sounds just like "Keyblade," but it's nothing like the weapons me and my friends wield. If he gets his hands on it, he could end up hurting a lot of people. He's not the kinda guy you can reason with, either, which means if he attacks, he'll have to be stopped.

[He pauses again, his tone a little more fearful]

But if that happens, he'll get more than a weapon. Creating the χ-blade means that he'll take over my body. I won't be able to stop him if that happens, which means the χ-blade's gonna have to be destroyed, or...

[A beat.]

I will.

For now, I'm gonna try to keep that from happening, but I don't know how much longer I can run away. I won't let him win that easily, but chances are it's gonna happen sooner or later. So, guys, if he has his way, just... stay safe, okay?


[ooc: There will be endgame spoilers for BBS in this post. You have been warned.

Also, Vanitas hacked the entry before the filter got bumped. 8)]

[ ... Ven. ]

Ven, we're not going to let anything happen to you. We're not.

[ however, that filter. THAT FILTER. do all the boys in her life just suck at filters? is that what's happening here? she'll go ahead and discreetly bump that up to 100% without asking, considering... how much sensitive info is here. ]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

I know, but I just want to make sure everybody knows, in case we do fight.

[not here at all, nope]

.... Ven? [This thing about darkness, she doesn't really understand it. But she does understand having a body be taken over and used against your will, since she's experienced a similar form of it.

... And she doesn't want him hurt. Human he may be... but he'd been so warm and innocent...]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Hey, Kaori.

[Just like the earlier part of his entry, he might sound a little strained. Darn it, he's not supposed to be worrying so much!]

[seiriald]

[Don't think she didn't notice either, you seem like a terrible liar.] I don't understand what you're talking about... Keyblades, I mean...

[Written/On same filter]

[Super special secret weapon? Pinged]

So you are light and he is darkness? Two sides of the same coin. I can see how such a separation may not last, but how did it happen to begin with?

[Written/Filtered]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

My old Master separated us a long time ago because I wouldn't give into the darkness. Since I couldn't get the χ-blade for him, he removed the darkness from my heart and left me with another Keyblade Master. I guess he wanted me to become stronger so we could fight someday.

Splitting us apart caused me to forget everything, and there's no way I could've fought him back then.

[...How exactly does one rip someone's spirit like that? Man if he knew how, he could think of a number of things he could use that ability for.]

And despite that the both of you can independently function on your own? How interesting and most unfortunate.

And this Vanitas, what exactly is he capable of doing? What should we look out for?

[Voice / Filtered]

[wingenvy]

That Keyblade thing... I remember you talking about that.

We'll look out for you, Ven. It'll be okay.

[Voice / Filtered]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Zack. Hopefully it won't happen, but if it does, I know I've got friends who'll be there.

[Voice / Filtered]

[wingenvy]

No problem, man. [He pauses.] Though... nobody's gonna want to hurt you even if it does go wrong, so what happens to you if we destroy this χ-blade thing?

[first-darkness.livejournal.com]

[ There's a tapping sound as Saten drums her fingers, processing this. The way that speaks of this "Vanitas" is strange, and so she can't help but be a bit curious. ]

Did you create him?

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Not exactly. Master Xehanort's the one who created him.

[first-darkness.livejournal.com]

He came from you, however. Correct?

[messy as per usual~]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

Ven You're not going to be able to run forever.

[ Rep should know :< ]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

I know. That's why I wanted to warn everyone.

[ filtered ]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

Ventus, please be careful and stay safe yourself.

[ooc: I thought it was okay to ask this, but would it be possible for you to fix the spelling of Frederic's name in your tag for him? I'd really appreciate it, thank you in advance.]

[ filtered ]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

I'll do my best. Just because he's after me doesn't mean I'm gonna give up just yet.

[ooc: Oh, wow, I didn't even realize it was spelled wrong! I'll go ahead and fix that.]

[moonaligned.livejournal.com]

[she may not know Ven, but this whole thing just pings her. she doesn't want anyone hurt.]

Darkness can be purified.

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Purified?

[Hmm... He hadn't thought of that before, especially when Vanitas is pure darkness.]

What d'you mean?

[Voice/Filtered]

[fabrecation]

[Nngh. Luke despises the thought of killing anyone, even moreso when they're friends.]

If that happens, we'll find a way to destroy the χ-blade.

[... He might be able to, if... But it's risky. Terribly risky...]

[Voice/Filtered]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

There's gotta be a way. Maybe Aqua knows...

[He pauses.]

I just hope there's a way to do it quickly. The sooner it's destroyed, the less damage he'll do. If Vanitas can't find a way out of here, I know he'll go after my friends.

[voice/filtered]

[flaring]

[...huuuh.]

Will he still have control over you if this thing is destroyed, though?

[voice/filtered]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. If he did, then Aqua would've told me...
