Seventeenth Shooting Star - voice;

[risingwinds]

[Ever since Vanitas moved in, Ven's had a lot on his mind. Taking in the same guy who nearly killed a lot of his friends, took over his body, and caused general chaos isn't something most people would even consider.

But Ven's not like other people. He's far too nice for his own good, and what some may consider reckless he views as the 'right' thing-- especially when someone's starving and dehydrated.

So, when he opens the journal, he doesn't look or sound particularly sad-- just a little confused. Something's on his mind, if nothing else.]

Hey, guys. I've got a question... [A beat.]

Let's say you know this guy who's kind of a jerk. What's the best way to help him lighten up a bit and improve his attitude?

[Suddenly, there's another voice chiming in. One some people will probably recognize as Vanitas.]

I hear a lobotomy works wonders.

Hey!

[What follows is some shuffling, followed by a resounding SQUEAK! Probably from an inflatable hammer.]

[ooc: Italics = Vanitas. Ven's gonna be doing most of the talking, but Vanitas might make some background comments!]

Sounds like your friend there could use the adjustment.

[Ven... doesn't really consider Vanitas a friend at this point. He's still mad at Vanitas for all of the terrible things he's done, but he's not really grudgey about it, either. It's mostly a tolerance... and this guy did hit the nail on the head.]

That's what I was going for.

Know anybody with a kitchen?

Get a lot of vegetables and tell him to start chopping.

[He speaks from experience.]

I don't know if that'd work, though. He's blind because of his death penalty, and I don't know when he'll be able to see again.

Plus he's kinda stubborn.

Blind, huh? Well, I guess manual labour is out of the question then isn't it?

Yeah, at least right now. If he gets his penalty removed, it'll be easier. I just hope I get get through to him before that happens.

Just remember, he also has to want to change.

I know. If I force it on him, it'll probably make things worse.
