Eighteenth Shooting Star - voice/action;

[He's been staring at his journal for a while, just trying to find the right words. It's... difficult, in part because he's so surprised and also due to sadness.

When Ven speaks into the journal, he tries to hide his disappointment; as a result, he sounds pretty strained.]

Hey, guys. Looks like it's December now, which means Christmas is right around the corner. I heard about a party over the journals, but does anyone else have something fun planned? If it's anything like last year, we'll probably get a ton of snow. A big snowball fight could be fun. Just an idea.

[He sighs. This isn't working...]

Terra's gone. After all this time, I didn't think he'd... [A beat.]

Does anyone wanna hang out? Or do something? I think I need a distraction right now.

[There, at least he's being honest. And with that, he'll probably check up on his housemates (especially Vanitas) and then head out into the village for a bit. He might be wandering a little aimlessly. He'll be just about everywhere before he returns back to the house.

Care to cheer him up? Or antagonize him? Anything goes!]

Think you can meet me at the battle dome? Got something I want to show ya.

Sure thing, Axel! I'll be right over.

See you in a bit.

[Sure enough Axel will be waiting for Ven there inside the battle dome, leaning against one of the walls with his arms folded over his chest.]

[And Ven, being the silly derp that he is, hurries over to Axel once he spots him.]

Hey, Axel!

[Axel grins when Ven gets there, straightening up to greet him. IT'S BEEN A WHILE.]

Heeeey, Ven. How's it going? Other than... well.

[Ven shrugs, offering a somewhat-forced smile.]

Same as always.

[...hrm. Okay let's get this distraction under way. Axel shrugs, turning to walk over to the control panel.]

Well, anyway, c'mon. Take it you've used this thing before, right?

[action]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

That's right! I come in here a lot.

[So, he'll follow Axel right over to the controls.]
