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.]

Yeah, I know. If we work together, we can figure something out! And no matter what happens, I don't think it'll get that bad.

[There's a pause...]

I mean, the last time Vanitas died, I was okay. And that was after he took over my body, and our hearts had to get split again.

Last time he died? This has happened more than once?

Yeah. There's a lot I haven't told you yet, Minako. About me, and about Vanitas.

[He pauses. It's a long, complicated story, and an unpleasant one too. But... she's his friend. She deserves to know.]

You see, the reason why Vanitas was made in the first place was because I wouldn't give into the darkness. My old Master wanted me to, so he could make this really powerful Keyblade and start a war, but I was too scared.

That's why he split us apart, that way we could fight someday and forge the χ-blade.

[Another pause.]

I lost more than my darkness, though. I forgot everything. How to fight, who I was. I had to learn everything from scratch. That's why there's still a bunch of stuff I don't understand; Master Eraqus never taught me because it wasn't part of my training.

There's a lot I haven't told you yet either, Ven-kun, so don't worry about it. There's a lot about me that you don't know, and... When we're done with this, let's have a talk, all right? I don't think it's right of me to hide anything from you any more, especially after you've told me all this.



That must've been hard. Hey, Ven? Sorry for treating you like a kid. You're mature for your age, it's understandable you didn't have time for the things most teenagers did.

Right. We'll get through this, no problem!

It's okay; I don't blame you. It's probably silly, all the stuff I don't know. I can fight, and there's a lot of stuff I do know, but I never even left my home 'til a few months ago. I never met anyone my age 'til I started seeing other worlds. And my friends sometimes treat me that way, so I'm used to it.

[He doesn't like it, but he's used to the kid treatment.]

But you're right. We can do this, and I know I shouldn't worry so much. Just... thanks for listening.

[Poor kid's all kinds of stressed; it's nice to have someone who'll listen.]

If you're bothered about something, you shouldn't hold it back. Your friends will definitely respect that, if you tell them. In fact, you should've told me! I would've cut down on it.



Hey, Ven? Look! It's going to be all fine. I said I'd be there for you, silly! If I didn't do that, what kind of friend would I be?

The teasing wasn't that bad! It's just hard sometimes, being treated like a kid. Especially when they get all protective.

[But that smile does help, and he'll try to return the favor.]

I know! It's just a lot to take in, and it probably sounds a little weird.

I didn't make any promises to stop, you know!



Believe me when I've heard of last minute warnings, and it's not weird at all! We've come from different worlds, so what's normal and weird to each and everyone one of us is skewed. Ven-kun is Ven-kun, no matter what happens.

Yeah, you're right. Vanitas might've been a part of me, but we're two different people now. And even if he is part of me, I'm not gonna let him have his way.

[Minako is a pro at cheering Ven up. Totally.]

That's the spirit! You're doing your best; those who don't notice that are missing out.

Well, even if the going gets tough, that doesn't mean you shouldn't give it your all.

That's true. A person's actions during hard times; it shows how strong they truly are.

Yeah, even if it's something easy as supporting your friends. Sure, it's not fighting, but just being there for them can make a difference.
