[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.]

... 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?

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

It's a little hard to explain, but... [she'll give it her best shot] Everyone contains some darkness that, while not evil, summons a part of the being that urges havoc and bloodshed. It is possible to purify that darkness, ridding the person of what tainted them.

Really?

[That reminds him of what he's learned about the balance of light and darkness. However, his Master was fairly adamant that darkness is a bad thing... Hm.]

But what if the darkness is all they've got?

[moonaligned.livejournal.com]

I--Well, honestly, I've never had the chance to attempt to purify someone of pure darkness. [Because, really, the only being of pure darkness she's encountered were all forms of Chaos] But it's always worth a try.

But how would you do something like that?

[The only thing he can think of is blasting them with light, but... wouldn't that hurt? Hm...]
