Sixteenth Shooting Star - voice;

Backdated to late night on the 12th [Filtered from Vanitas//50% Unhackable]

[He doesn't know what to think right now. This is the third time recently that a friend's fallen victim to Vanitas. Thus, those listening to the journals will note that Ven sounds far angrier than usual. Angry and dead serious.]

I don't know how many of you guys heard Kairi's message, but something's happened to Xion. She's in really bad shape, all thanks to Vanitas.

And she's not the only one. A while back, Axel almost died because of him. Then Sora lost one of his wings, and Naoto got really hurt and lost her gun. He might not remember the χ-blade, but Vanitas is just as dangerous as he's always been.

And it's about time we did something about it.

Vanitas is really powerful, so whatever you do, don't go alone. That's what he'd want you to do. What we oughta do is get a group together. If you're friends with Xion, Naoto, Sora, or you just wanna help, just let me know. Maybe if we team up, we can settle this. [For now.]

And if the rest of you guys see somebody wearing a black and red suit, stay away from him. I don't want anyone else to get hurt, especially my friends.

--

July 13th, after the battle;

[Sometime after the fight, Ven addresses the journal again, sounding awfully uneasy. This whole situation was exhausting, and for once that bright spirit of his has been dampened a little.]

How're you supposed to stop somebody if they'll keep coming back? Somebody dangerous, who's not even scared of death.

[The actual fight log won't be going up until Saturday, but it'll be backdated to the 13th. Here is the plotting post for more information.]

[Terra can see Ven's trying to be upbeat. This is something neither of them wanted to happen.]

Something needs to be done about him.

[identity profile] risingwinds.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
I know. Something should've been done a long time ago.

[The moment Sora lost that wing... Gah!]

[personal profile] erodingearth 2011-07-16 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Even when that had happened, Terra's mind had been elsewhere.]

...What's going to happen to you though, Ven?

[identity profile] risingwinds.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, Terra, but we've gotta do something. Even if something did happen to me, it's better than letting him hurt people.

[Besides, he didn't die last time.]

[personal profile] erodingearth 2011-07-16 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[The fact that this wasn't the same situation as last time was what worried Terra. If it was the same situation, he could at least feel like he knew how things would end. But this time...]

Yeah. [He could at least make it sound like he agreed with Ven's thinking.] There's bound to be more people getting caught up in this.

[identity profile] risingwinds.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
We've just gotta do our best.

[He sighs. Something still bothers him...]

I just feel like it'll never stop. As long as he can still fight, he'll probably keep hurting people.

[And while Ven is normally optimistic, there are some things even a cheery spirit won't solve.]

[personal profile] erodingearth 2011-07-16 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
He will. [Not just probably.] He's pure darkness; I can't imagine reasoning with him.

[identity profile] risingwinds.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Which means we'll have to keep beating him again and again. I bet all those penalties will stack up eventually.

[It's upsetting to think about, really.]

[personal profile] erodingearth 2011-07-16 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It's for the best. [He doesn't like the idea of crippling someone like that ... but given the alternatives...] If he won't stop, we'll have to make it so he can't start.

[identity profile] risingwinds.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
I know. I just...

[He winces.]

I really wish there was another way. Even if he's dangerous, I'm sure he can feel pain, too.

[personal profile] erodingearth 2011-07-17 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
He's an abomination beyond hope of salvation. [That's what Master Xehanort had said.] Ven, he could have killed you.

[identity profile] risingwinds.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
I know. I know he's dangerous, and I know he'll just keep hurting people.

It's just... I don't think I could finish him, Terra. Not like that.

[Killing and Ven do not go hand in hand.]

I'd do anything to stop him and protect my friends, but I guess I'm kinda scared, too.

Then... [He's hesitant, but he needs to be firm about this. Terra places his hand on his friend's shoulder.] You need to stay close to someone willing to do it. Because he's not going to hold back.

[identity profile] risingwinds.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
I know. And I can fight him; I can probably beat him, too.

I just don't wanna be the one to finish him.

[He can knock Vanitas out, maybe. That'd be okay. But breaking the χ-blade is different than actually murdering someone, evil or not.]

[It was like he had told Roxas -- he trusted Ven, but he also worried. And this was definitely something to worry about.]

You don't have to stay and watch, Ven.

[identity profile] risingwinds.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
I know, but I still wanna help. Vanitas is my darkness; I can't just ignore him.

[He's just conflicted. Even during the drafts, he didn't...]
erodingearth: (Default)

[personal profile] erodingearth 2011-07-17 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah. He was there, too. Knocking a person out was completely different.]

Try not to think about it now, okay? [It's weak advice. They both knew that Vanitas would be the only thing they'd be thinking about for awhile.]

[identity profile] risingwinds.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We'll just have to do our best.

[But Terra's right. They shouldn't worry so much-- he shouldn't worry so much. Guh.]
erodingearth: (Default)

[personal profile] erodingearth 2011-07-17 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
[That hand on Ven's shoulder lifts up, only to rest on his head and ruffle his hair faintly.]

Come on. A glass of milk, then it's time for bed.

[identity profile] risingwinds.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Aww. But Terraaaa---

He nods, turning back towards the house.]


Right. I'm gonna need some rest if we're going after him.
erodingearth: (Default)

[personal profile] erodingearth 2011-07-18 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We both will.

[He drops his hand to his side and follows Ven back inside.]

[identity profile] risingwinds.livejournal.com 2011-07-18 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[And once Ven's inside, he'll slowly head over to the kitchen, all while trying to hold back a yawn.]
erodingearth: (Default)

[personal profile] erodingearth 2011-07-18 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It's finally catching up to you how late it is, huh? [He manages a slight smile, seeing how hard Ven's trying not to look sleepy.]

[identity profile] risingwinds.livejournal.com 2011-07-20 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
A little.

[Understatement, but he must not look too sleepy!]
erodingearth: (Default)

[personal profile] erodingearth 2011-07-20 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'd say you could skip the milk and go straight to bed, but... [Well, Ven needed all the help he could get.]
