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!]

[...Well, he didn't want to make it too obvious, but then Vanitas barged into his room.]

A huge jerk.

[voice]

[flaring]

Any reason why? I mean you sure picked a tough one there.

[voice]

Because I feel responsible for him. He's my darkness, and... well, if I can get him to change, maybe it'll make things easier for everybody here and himself.

[voice]

[flaring]

[A beat.] ...well. Just be friendly with him. Y'know, joke around with him, act like you're good friends already, stuff like that. Worked on you.

[You were pretty grumpy at first when Lea met you, Ven. But he got you to snap out of it easily enough. Vanitas might be a tougher case, but.]

[Oh, Axel. The difference is that Ven was just being sulky. Still, he appreciates the sentiment.]

I'll give it a try. He'll probably try and push me away if I do that, but I'll just have to keep at it. Maybe it'll work... somehow.

Or you can always try ice cream.

Ice cream? I dunno, Axel. He's not a big fan of sweets.

But he does like ravioli and sandwiches.
