[The draft was rough. A lot of people are still recovering from the emotional and physical strain.

But Ven isn't one to dwell on that for too long, and he figures the people of Luceti could use some positive discussion material. So, here he is.]

I know that everyone here comes from different worlds, but I've been thinking about it for a while, and I was wondering. How many of you guys have been to other worlds before?

Not Luceti. I mean before you came here.

And if you did see other worlds, what were they like? I'd love to hear about 'em! I've been to a lot of worlds, but I'm sure there's still thousands of 'em I've never even heard of.

[He pauses for a minute. Just asking about people who've seen other worlds does leave a lot of people out. Hmmm...]

Oh, and if you haven't, you could always talk about your adventures back home!

Sounds good to me!

[He'll definitely write it down, too. Just in case!]

I wish they were here so you could meet 'em. Maybe if they show up someday, I can introduce you to them.

Right! Marking that date for you, then! This will be my first time there, so I'm pretty excited by that thought alone.

I think I'd faint if I got the opportunity to meet the real ones in flesh and blood. I'd appreciate it so much, too! It's almost like a dream come true, meeting the models from when I was a kid. On that thought, I hope I'm not seeming like a crazy fan or something like that, because hearing myself speak, I'm sensing that feeling myself.

You don't sound crazy to me! It's like hearing a legend and finding out it's all true. I know I'd be excited if I were in your shoes.

[But it's okay, he's laughing too.]

[ooc: if you'd like to log, I'm cool with that! Commentspam format like this might be easier than prose, though. XD]

I guess it's not so bad when you put it like that! What kind of stories and legends do you have back at home then, Ven-san?

I wonder if any one of the ones you have are alike to the one I have back at home?

Um, well...

[Let's see. Stories, stories... ]

Well, there's a legend that all the worlds used to be part of one really huge world once, and everybody lived in the light. But soon people started fighting over it, and darkness started to fill their hearts. Then the world broke into a whole bunch of smaller worlds, but the light in children's hearts helped rebuild everything.

But that light's still asleep within the darkness, which is why the worlds are separated still.

[Um, what else.]

Oh, and my friend Aqua told me about a star-shaped fruit that represents an unbreakable connection. And if you and your friends have good luck charms shaped like 'em, nothing'll ever keep you apart.

[But there's gotta be more...]

And my friend Terra says that the stars in the sky are really different worlds, and the reason why you can see them is because of the light in their hearts. Then there's Santa Claus, but I'm sure he's real!

[He could probably think of more, of course. Kid's probably read about other world's legends at least to some extend, given all those books in his room.]

[ooc: Sounds good to me!]

I haven't heard of anything like that before. Mm, mm, I guess that's to be normal? Since we're in different worlds, I guess!

Oh, oh! Star-shaped fruit? Isn't it just... Starfruit? I've never of them being represented that way, but now it's making me feel kind of bad if it's like that. You've never tried it before? I wonder if the general store sells them—?

... The feeling I get from your world is kind of like that. Or at least, your universe. It seems like a bright place to live in, a place that would definitely shine really bright in the sky. And oh—!! There's a similarity. I believe in Santa Claus too! I wonder if he'll stop by Luceti this year?

Well, as long as we're good, I'm sure he'll drop by!

[Santa's rather good at that, after all.]

Anyway, that's a good way of putting it! A lot of the worlds I've seen really do feel like bright places to live, even if they've got their share of problems. But that's why I tried to help wherever I could, even if it's something like making a dress or fixing an ice cream machine. [Big or small, solving problems for friends makes him feel good!]

Was that what it was like last Christmas, then? I might have to stop teasing and making fun of my brother or actually, just my friends in general so much, or I'll be sure to end up with coal this year.

... Mm, alternatively though, when I think of Luceti, I'm not quite sure what to think. Everyone here works really hard for what they believe in, so I'm sure there are times where this place shines brilliantly, but...

Well, there was this huge statue that popped up in the middle of the village, and everybody got some kinda present!

[Like that awesome telescope he's got in his room. Aw yis.]

It's okay; I understand. There are times when it gets really dangerous here. And if not here, then out on the battlefields whenever people get drafted.

Yeah! But that's what makes a world, doesn't it? Having a balance. Once everyone manages to overcome the biggest obstacle together, I'm sure that... I'm sure that Luceti has the potential to be one of the brightest worlds out there. I'm pretty silly with my thinking though, I'm sure a lot of people here would disagree.

Right. Like light and darkness. Even when things get dark and dangerous, there'll always be a light at the end of the tunnel. And sometimes the toughest struggles have the biggest rewards.

I don't think that's silly at all!
